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.

Plankton vertical migrations - Implications for the pelagic ecosystem
, 2011 Habitat selection is an important behavior of many organisms. The direction and strength of this behavior is often characterized as a result of a trade off between predator avoidance and obtaining resources. A characteristic example of this trade off may

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.Sex‐specific responses to ocean warming shape thermal tolerance, fitness, and metabolomic profiles in a keystone amphipod. Females exhibit higher thermal limits and broader safety margins than males. Warming reduces survival and reproductive output, while it increases offspring size.

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.
