Vertical migration is a geographically and taxonomically widespread behaviour among
zooplankton that spans across diel and seasonal timescales. The shorter‐term diel vertical …

Theoretical and empirical studies of plankton trophodynamics are usually based on some
function of the relative density of predator-and-prey plankton. Such approaches based only …

The copepod Acartia tonsa displayed nearly two-fold higher ingestion rates on faster-
growing cells of the diatom Thalassiosira weissflogii compared to ingestion rates on slower …

Zooplankton spatial heterogeneity has profound effects on understanding and modelling of
zooplankton population dynamics and interactions with other planktonic compartments, and …

The copepod Acartia tonsa Dana exhibits raptorial feeding behaviour when encountering
planktonic ciliates. It detects individual ciliates at a distance of 0.1 to 0.7 mm from the first …

Previous studies in taxonomically diverse marine animals have established the general
existence, and importance, of the olfactory sense in a wide variety of behavioral processes …

This modern textbook of biological oceanography is aimed atstudents taking oceanography,
marine biology and marine sciencescourses. It covers recent developments such as the …

Orientation of animals using chemical cues often takes place in flows, where the stimulus
properties of odorants are affected by the characteristics of fluid motion. Kinematic analysis …

Swimming behaviour is described for 6 small copepods. Three types of feeding strategies
were observed:(1) slow-moving or stationary suspension feeding (Temora longicornis …

Whatever theory may be advanced to explain diurnal migration, the underlying reactions
involved must be demonstrated conc-sively in the laboratory before the explanation can be …
