There is a large and growing interest in non‐consumptive effects (NCEs) of predators.
Diverse and extensive evidence shows that predation risk directly influences prey traits …

The current prevailing theory of diel vertical migration (DVM) of zooplankton is focused
largely on two biotic drivers: food and predation. Yet recent evidence suggests that abiotic …

Diurnal vertical migration (DVM) of marine organisms is an ubiquitous phenomenon in the
ocean that generates an active vertical transport of organic matter. However, the magnitude …

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 …

Biological invasions, still occurring worldwide at an alarming rate, are widely acknowledged
as threats to the integrity and functioning of ecosystems. In addition to introducing disease …

A narrative in ecology is that prey modify traits to reduce predation risk, and the trait
modification has costs large enough to cause ensuing demographic, trophic and ecosystem …

Using various available time series for Lake Michigan, we examined changes in the Lake
Michigan food web following the dreissenid mussel invasions and identified those changes …

Growth of alewives Alosa pseudoharengus and lake whitefish Coregonus clupeaformis has
declined since the arrival and spread of dreissenid mussels in Lakes Michigan and Huron …

Invasive species represent a threat to aquatic ecosystems globally; however, impacts can be
heterogenous across systems. Documented impacts of invasive zebra mussels (Dreissena …

We examined seasonal dynamics of zooplankton at an offshore station in Lake Michigan
from 1994 to 2003 and 2007 to 2008. This period saw variable weather, declines in …
