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.

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.

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 ...
