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

The regular movements of waves and tides are obvious representations of the oceans'
rhythmicity. But the rhythms of marine life span across ecological niches and timescales …

Endogenous programs that regulate annual cycles have been shown for many taxa,
including protists, arthropods, fish, mammals and birds. In migration biology, these programs …

Sunlight is the dominant control on phytoplankton biosynthetic activity, and darkness
deprives them of their primary external energy source. Changes in the biochemical …

Background Circadian clocks allow organisms to anticipate daily fluctuations in their
environment by driving rhythms in physiology and behavior. Inter-organismal differences in …

Despite the perpetual darkness of the deep sea, contrasting the sunlit epipelagic waters,
many deep‐sea organisms exhibit rhythmic activities. To discern environmental cues that …

Light plays a fundamental role in the ecology of organisms in nearly all habitats on Earth
and is central for processes such as vision and the entrainment of the circadian clock. The …

Animal behavior in space and time is structured by the perceived day/night cycle. However,
this is modified by the animals' own movement within its habitat, creating a realized diel light …

Abstract The Nereid Platynereis dumerilii (Audouin and Milne Edwards (Annales des
Sciences Naturelles 1: 195–269, 1833) is a marine annelid that belongs to the Nereididae, a …

Molecular tools have changed the understanding of zooplankton biodiversity, speciation,
adaptation, population genetics and global patterns of connectivity. However, the molecular …
