Evidence of diel vertical migration in Mnemiopsis leidyi. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The vertical distribution and migration of plankton organisms may have a large impact on their horizontal dispersal and distribution, and consequently on trophic interactions.

Mean Field Games for Diel Vertical Migration with Diffusion. [PDF]
Bull Math Biol, 2023 AbstractWe present a theoretical framework, based on differential mean field games, for expressing diel vertical migration in the ocean as a game with a continuum of players. In such a game, each agent partially controls its own state by adjusting its vertical velocity but the vertical position in a water column is also subject to random fluctuations ...

Assessing mesopelagic fish diversity and diel vertical migration with environmental DNA
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Mesopelagic fishes are an important component of the world’s oceans in terms of their abundance, biomass, and ecosystem function. These fishes are important contributors to the biological carbon pump via their feeding and behaviors, whereby they ...

Arctic complexity: a case study on diel vertical migration of zooplankton. [PDF]
J Plankton Res, 2014 Diel vertical migration (DVM) of zooplankton is a global phenomenon, characteristic of both marine and limnic environments. At high latitudes, patterns of DVM have been documented, but rather little knowledge exists regarding which species perform this ecologically important behaviour.

Differences in the trophic ecology of micronekton driven by diel vertical migration. [PDF]
Limnol Oceanogr, 2019 AbstractMany species of micronekton perform diel vertical migrations (DVMs), which ultimately contributes to carbon export to the deep sea. However, not all micronekton species perform DVM, and the nonmigrators, which are often understudied, have different energetic requirements that might be reflected in their trophic ecology.

Diel Vertical Migration and Transport Pattern of Larvae and Juveniles of the Small Yellow Croaker (Larimichthys polyactis) in the Yangtze River Estuary [PDF]
AnimalsIn order to understand the diel vertical migration and transport pattern during their early life stages, the vertical distribution of larvae and juveniles of the small yellow croaker (Larimichthys polyactis) in the Yangtze River estuary was investigated.

Protocol to produce diel vertical movement patterns from the BirdScan MR1 vertical-looking biological radar [PDF]
STAR ProtocolsSummary: Vertical-looking radars (VLRs) detect individual flying animals up to ∼2 km above ground and characterize their flight track, timing, wing movement, size, and shape.

Seasonal habitat use and diel vertical migration in female spurdog in Nordic waters [PDF]
Movement EcologyBackground Studying habitat use and vertical movement patterns of individual fish over continuous time and space is innately challenging and has therefore largely remained elusive for a wide range of species.

Evidence of Diel Vertical Migration of Mesopelagic Sound-Scattering Organisms in the Arctic
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017 While sound scattering layers (SSLs) have been described previously from ice-covered waters in the Arctic, the existence of a viable mesopelagic community that also includes mesopelagic fishes in the Arctic has been questioned.
