Variations in stratospheric ozone and changes in the aquatic environment by climate
change and human activity are modifying the exposure of aquatic ecosystems to UV …

Our earlier studies showed that paired photostimulation allows the detection of pollutants in
an aqueous medium according to the behavioral responses of freshwater Crustacea. The …

Animal migration is one of the most spectacular and visible behavioural phenomena in
nature with profound implications for a range of ecological and evolutionary processes …

Mesozooplankton is a very diverse group of small animals ranging in size from 0.2 to 20 mm
not able to swim against ocean currents. It is a key component of pelagic ecosystems …

Predation risk is often invoked to explain variation in stress responses. Yet, the answers to
several key questions remain elusive, including the following:(1) how predation risk …

Diel vertical migration (DVM) is common in zooplankton populations worldwide. Every day,
zooplankton leave the productive surface ocean and migrate to deepwater to avoid visual …

Our previous studies showed that the change in the plankton response to light could be an
indicator of environmental pollution. This study experimentally reveals that the response of …

While lake systems in temperate regions have been extensively studied, tropical and
subtropical systems have received less attention. Here, we describe the water chemistry and …

Predation's consequences can manifest through either consumptive or nonconsumptive
effects, but the prey response may also vary depending on the predator hunting strategy …

Abstract Changes in epibenthic copepod populations markedly affect the population of
benthic dwelling animals in rivers, estuaries and marine ecosystems. Unfortunately, studies …
