Diel vertical migration of Arctic zooplankton during the polar night. [PDF]
Biol Lett, 2009 High-latitude environments show extreme seasonal variation in physical and biological variables. The classic paradigm of Arctic marine ecosystems holds that most biological processes slow down or cease during the polar night. One key process that is generally assumed to cease during winter is diel vertical migration (DVM) of zooplankton.

Seasonal and diel patterns in Black Sea harbour porpoise acoustic activity in 2020–2022 [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe Black Sea is a semi‐enclosed inland sea with an unevenly distributed extensive coastal shelf area and anoxic deep waters. It is inhabited by common and bottlenose dolphins, as well as harbour porpoises, all represented by local subspecies.

Diel vertical migration and distribution of zooplankton in a tropical Brazilian reservoirlian
Biotemas, 2009 Migração vertical e distribuição do zooplâncton em um açude tropical brasileiro. A migração vertical diária do zooplâncton é uma estratégia geralmente utilizada para reduzir o risco de predação, mas que pode também se associar às mudanças de dia/noite ...

Animal behavior is central in shaping the realized diel light niche
Communications Biology, 2022 Investigating the light as experienced by zooplankton undergoing synchronized diel vertical migration in an Arctic fjord around the spring equinox provides insights into how animal behavior shapes the Realized Diel Light Niche.

Enhancement of anammox by the excretion of diel vertical migrators [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014 Significance Nitrogen, the limiting nutrient for primary production across much of the ocean, is converted to biologically inactive N 2 by denitrification and anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) in anoxic waters. Anammox requires an active source of ammonium, which can be

Modeling diel vertical migration with membrane computing
Journal of Membrane Computing, 2020 Diel vertical migration (DVM) is an important ecological phenomenon in which zooplankton migrate vertically to deal with trade-offs associated with greater food availability in shallow waters and lower predator risk in deep waters due to lower light availability.

New insight into Salpa thompsoni distribution via glider-borne acoustics
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Salpa thompsoni is an ephemerally abundant pelagic tunicate in the waters of the Southern Ocean that makes significant contributions to carbon flux and nutrient recycling in the region. While S.
