Diel vertical migration of Arctic zooplankton during the polar night. [PDF]
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.

Dissipation Rate of Turbulent Kinetic Energy in Diel Vertical Migrations: Comparison of ANSYS Fluent Model to Measurements [PDF]
Recent studies suggest that diel vertical migrations of zooplankton may have an impact on ocean mixing, though details are not completely clear. A strong sound scattering layer of zooplankton undergoing diel vertical migrations was observed in Saanich ...

Beyond birds: rethinking bird‐centered pathogen models in light of insect migration
Migration redistributes biomass, nutrients, and pathogens across ecosystems. For decades, migratory birds have been treated as the default long‐distance pathogen vectors, shaping both conceptual frameworks and empirical models of disease ecology.

Environmental DNA for Aquatic Monitoring: Impact of Diel Vertical Migration
There is increasing interest in using eDNA for deriving abundance indices for biodiversity monitoring and in support of fisheries management. However, eDNA concentrations are affected by animal behavior, such as diel vertical migration, which has ...

Effects of diel vertical migration on ephippia production in Daphnia
Fish presence in experimentally simulated temperature conditions (limno-towers) led to diel vertical migration and resulted in a decrease of ephippia production in Daphnia pulicaria.

First record of humpback whale songs in Southern Chile: Analysis of seasonal and diel variation [PDF]
Male humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) produce complex, patterned songs that are traditionally recorded on their breeding grounds. In this work, we report results from the first continuous acoustic monitoring of a humpback whale feeding ground off

Upward phosphorus transport by Daphnia diel vertical migration [PDF]
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.

Diel vertical migration promotes zooplankton horizontal patchiness [PDF]
AbstractSpatial patchiness of plankton enhances fishery production and carbon export in the ocean. While diel vertical migration (DVM) has been identified as an important factor contributing to vertical patchiness, its effect on horizontal patchiness has never been investigated.
