Social aggregation in the pelagic zone with special reference to fish and invertebrates

DA Ritz, AJ Hobday, JC Montgomery… - Advances in marine …, 2011 - Elsevier
Aggregations of organisms, ranging from zooplankton to whales, are an extremely common

Mechanisms underlying shoal composition in the Trinidadian guppy, Poecilia reticulata

DP Croft, BJ Arrowsmith, J Bielby, K Skinner, E White… - Oikos, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
Free‐ranging groups are frequently assorted by phenotypic characters. However, very little
is known about the underlying processes that determine this structuring. In this study, we …

Variability and predictability of Antarctic krill swarm structure

GA Tarling, T Klevjer, S Fielding, J Watkins… - Deep Sea Research …, 2009 - Elsevier
Swarming is a fundamental part of the life of Euphausia superba, yet we still know very little
about what drives the considerable variability in swarm shape, size and biomass. We …

Aggregation and vertical migration behavior of Euphausia superba were studied in
Marguerite Bay and its vicinity west of the Antarctic Peninsula using a vessel-mounted …

Social aggregation in pelagic invertebrates

DA Ritz - Advances in marine biology, 1994 - Elsevier
Publisher Summary Social aggregations are a familiar sight among aquatic vertebrates: One
has only to think of schools of dolphins, pods of whales, flocks of seagulls, and schools of …

Comparison of diving behavior and foraging habitat use between chinstrap and gentoo penguins breeding in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica

N Kokubun, A Takahashi, Y Mori, S Watanabe… - Marine Biology, 2010 - Springer
Chinstrap, Pygoscelis antarctica, and gentoo, P. papua, penguins are sympatric species that

Swarming and behaviour in Antarctic krill

GA Tarling, S Fielding - Biology and ecology of Antarctic krill, 2016 - Springer
