Modeling patterns of zooplankton diel vertical migration [PDF]

Journal of Plankton Research, 1998
Realized predation pressure, defined as the product of predation pressure and light intensity, expresses the mortality pressure due to visual predation. The part of realized predation pressure which is sensed by organisms is here considered to be related to food level and temperature.

Predicting diel vertical migration of zooplankton [PDF]

Limnology and Oceanography, 1990
Amplitude of diel vertical migration is predicted by water clarity measured by Secchi depth. The model assumes that vertical migration serves to minimize mortality from visually feeding fish and to maximize grazing rate within this predation context. Three of the 24 observations of diel vertical migration are outliers which are either ultraoligotrophic,

Seasonal depth and temperature use, and diel movements of lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) in a subarctic lake

Arctic Science, 2019
We conducted a multi-year acoustic telemetry study of lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush (Walbaum, 1792)) in a small subarctic lake to investigate depth and temperature occupancy, and vertical activity across seasons (summer, fall, and winter), diel ...

Interpreting vertical movement behavior with holistic examination of depth distribution: a novel method reveals cryptic diel activity patterns of Chinook salmon in the Salish Sea

Animal Biotelemetry, 2017
Aquatic organisms exhibit a variety of diel changes in vertical movement that are investigable through the use of biotelemetry. While certain species do not change their movements between day and night, others exhibit diel vertical migration (DVM) or a ...

Factors affecting methylmercury biomagnification by a widespread aquatic invertebrate predator, the phantom midge larvae Chaoborus [PDF]

, 2012
MeHg biomagnification by the phantom midge Chaoborus in relation to MeHg concentrations in their prey and its migratory behavior was investigated in two Canadian Precambrian Shield lakes.

Mesoscale subduction at the Almeria-Oran front. Part 2: biophysical interactions. [PDF]

, 2001
This paper presents a detailed diagnostic analysis of hydrographic and current meter data from three, rapidly repeated, fine-scale surveys of the Almeria–Oran front.

Upward phosphorus transport by Daphnia diel vertical migration [PDF]

Limnology and Oceanography, 2009
In many lakes, zooplankton show a distinct diel vertical migration (DVM) behavior, especially during periods of stratification. Excretion products of these zooplankton could potentially cause an upward nutrient transport and consequent nutrient enrichment for phytoplankton in the epilimnion.

Oxygen minimum zone: An important oceanographic habitat for deep-diving northern elephant seals, Mirounga angustirostris. [PDF]

, 2017
Little is known about the foraging behavior of top predators in the deep mesopelagic ocean. Elephant seals dive to the deep biota-poor oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) (>800 m depth) despite high diving costs in terms of energy and time, but how they ...

Evidence on Night Movements of Macroinvertebrates to Macrophytes in a Pampean Stream [PDF]

, 2014
Nocturnal invertebrate abundance peaks in lotic systems are usually associated to drift, however, diel migrations other than drift may be important in slow-flowing systems.

A Pilot Study on the Diel Vertical Migration Pattern of Mesopelagic Fishes in the Southern and Central South China Sea

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
The diel vertical migration of mesopelagic fishes in the southern (S-May station and S-Nov station) and central (C-Jun station and C-Dec station) South China Sea was investigated through a series of continuous field surveys conducted in May, June ...
