Gut repletion during diel vertical migration in the benthopelagic crustacean Eurydice truncata Norman, 1868 (Isopoda, Cirolanidae)

Diel vertical migration

In this Quick Guide, Brierley provides a brief overview of a pervasive aspect of aquatic ecosystems, the daily movement of organisms up and down the water column.

Diel vertical migration of Arctic zooplankton during the polar night

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. DVM constitutes the largest synchronized movement of biom...

Diel vertical migration behaviour of Calanus hyperboreus

Samples historically collected and analysed by the Continuous Plankton Recorder survey in the North Atlantic and adjacent seas were used to examine temporal patterns in the near-surface abundance of copepodite stages V and V1 Calanus hyperboreus (n = a total of 32836 samples; mean latitude of samples = 54" N. SD = 6.7'). The occurrence of CV and V1 C. hyperboreus was largely restricted to sampl...

Long-term changes in the diel vertical migration

Samples historically collected and analysed by the Continuous Plankton Recorder survey were used to examine long-term (1958 to 1994) patterns in the normal diel vertical migrat~on (NDVM) behaviour of 7 copepod taxa in the North Sea: Calanus finmarchicus C5-C6; Calanus spp. Cl-C4; Cenlropages typicus; Centropages hamatus; Temora longicornis; Acartia clausii and Para-Pseudocalanus (this last grou...
