The Aggregation of Fish in the Metalimnion Constrains Zooplankton Diel Vertical Migration
Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT The role of fish predation in zooplankton diel vertical migration (DVM) is well established, where zooplankton move to deep waters during the day—to hide from visual predators in surface layers—and return to the epilimnion at night (i.e., ‘normal’ DVM), to feed on phytoplankton.

Degree of high phenotypic plasticity in wild populations of Daphnia in early spring
Journal of Limnology, 2018 Inducible defenses have been empirically known as defensive phenotypes that are triggered by predator kairomones. We hypothesized that morphological defense of wild Daphnia varies not only with predator density, but also with the predator regime in the ...

Chaoborus prey capture efficiency in the light and dark1 [PDF]
Limnology and Oceanography, 1981 The strike efficiency of fourth‐instar Chaoborus punctipennis larvae on different size copepods was measured in the light and dark in the laboratory. Dark measurements were made with near‐infrared illumination and a closed circuit television system. There was no significant difference between strike efficiency in the light and dark during either day ...

The Role of Inducible Defence in Ecological Models: Effects of Nonlocal Intraspecific Competition
Studies in Applied Mathematics, Volume 156, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Phenotypic plasticity significantly influences species interactions, especially via inducible defensive mechanisms in predator–prey dynamics. This work proposes and explores a predator–prey scenario whereby the prey species demonstrates inducible defence mechanisms against predators.

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Genetic diversity of potentially invasive exotic species has been theorized to lead to increased invasion success. However, empirical work investigating this relationship is extremely limited, especially in the context of metacommunity connectivity. Native community connectivity may mitigate the effects of invasion, but such protective effects

Journal of Limnology, 2015 The primary factor that governs the size and species composition of zooplankton is still a controversial issue and temperature is considered the main factor responsible for latitudinal differences.

Methane‐Derived Carbon Contributes to Fish Biomass in a Deep, Eutrophic Reservoir
Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Methanotrophic bacteria oxidise large amounts of biogenic methane produced in freshwater and bind the original methane carbon in their biomass. When these bacteria are consumed by other organisms, methane‐derived carbon enters food webs. Methane‐derived carbon can support a substantial part of invertebrate biomass in some freshwater ecosystems.
