Title | Pseudo-diel vertical migration in zooplankton: a whole-lake 15N tracer experiment |
Creator | Armengol, Xavier Wurtsbaugh, Wayne A. Camacho, Antonio Miracle, Maria R. |
Description | Diel vertical migration (DVM) of zooplankton is commonly considered an adaptation for feeding in food-rich and warm surface waters at night and avoiding visual predators during the day. However, the critical assessment of migration patterns frequently suggests that: (i) zooplankton may leave deeper waters with rich, deep-chlorophyll layers and move into the epilimnion where food resources are lower and/or (ii) the night-time increase in epilimnetic plankton abundance is not matched by a... |
