Vertical migration is a geographically and taxonomically widespread behaviour among
zooplankton that spans across diel and seasonal timescales. The shorter‐term diel vertical …

The deep sea, the largest biome on Earth, has a series of characteristics that make this
environment both distinct from other marine and land ecosystems and unique for the entire …

Human activities are releasing gigatonnes of carbon to the Earth's atmosphere annually.
Direct consequences of cumulative post-industrial emissions include increasing global …

The oceans cover the majority of the Earth's surface; they influence our climate and provide
a valuable source of food to billions of people. Yet despite its fundamental impact on our …

Our limited intuition of the small‐scale world of the plankton has biased the way we describe
and understand ocean ecology. Classical approaches consider fluxes of energy and matter …

Density stratification due to temperature or salinity variations greatly influences the flow
around and the sedimentation of objects such as particles, drops, bubbles, and small …

Lakes and other confined water bodies are not exposed to tides, and their wind forcing is
usually much weaker compared to ocean basins and estuaries. Hence, convective …

Plankton are small organisms that dwell in oceans, seas and bodies of fresh water. In this
review, we discuss life in the plankton, which involves a balance between the behavioral …

Diel vertical migration (DVM) is a characteristic behavioural pattern performed by
zooplankton in which their vertical distribution changes over the 24-h day. Here the …

In plankton ecology, biological and physical dynamics are coupled, structuring how plankton
interact with their environment and other organisms. This interdisciplinary field has …
