Home range behaviour is a common pattern of space use, having fundamental
consequences for ecological processes. However, a general mechanistic explanation is still …

Understanding pelagic ecology and quantifying energy fluxes through the trophic web and
from the surface to the deep ocean requires the ability to detect and identify all organisms …

Recent theory suggests that animals should switch facultatively among canonical movement
modes as a complex function of internal state, landscape characteristics, motion capacity …

Estuarine waters contain a variety of chemicals which affect to various extents the behavior
of aquatic organisms. Little is known, however, on the behavioral response of copepods …

Estuarine waters are continuously loaded with chemicals which affect the physiology of
aquatic organisms to various extents. They also have adverse effects on a wide range of …

Abstract Background The calanoid copepod Pseudodiaptomus marinus Sato, 1913 is an
estuarine-coastal species, living in shallow eutrophic inshore waters. It is native of the Indo …

Home range sizes of territorial animals are often observed to vary periodically in response to
seasonal changes in foraging opportunities. Here we develop the first mechanistic model …

Estuarine copepods experience strong and frequent salinity variations caused by alternating
tides. Salinity is known to be a major parameter in the ecology of copepods from brackish …

The movement of plankton, either by turbulent mixing or their own inherent motility, can be
simulated in a Lagrangian framework as a random walk. Validation of random walk …

The ever expanding fields of UW (underwater) optics cover principal measurements of the
optical properties of the sea, development of new methods of monitoring optical properties …
