Flying insects are of utmost importance in ecology and for human living conditions. Certain
species serve as indispensable pollinators to ensure the availability of food stuffs, while …

Patterns of movement of marine species can reflect strategies of reproduction and dispersal,
species' interactions, trophodynamics, and susceptibility to change, and thus critically inform …

Abstract Background California horn sharks (Heterodontus francisci) are nocturnally active,
non-obligate ram ventilating sharks in rocky reef habitats that play an important ecological …

Most fishes and crustaceans respond to light, and artificial light sources may therefore be an
efficient stimulus to manipulate behaviours in aquatic animals. It has been hypothesised that …

Marine plankton are usually modeled as settling elongated microswimmers. We consider the
torque induced by fluid inertia on such swimmers, and we discover that they spontaneously …

Background A strong behavioural plasticity is commonly evidenced in the movements of
marine megafauna species, and it might be related to an adaptation to local conditions of the …

Spatially resolved in situ monitoring of plankton can provide insights on the impacts of
climate change on aquatic ecosystems due to their vital role in the biological carbon pump …

Animals occupying higher trophic levels can have disproportionately large influence on
ecosystem structure and functioning, owning to intricate behavioral responses to their …

Mysids are known for benthic-pelagic diel vertical migration (DVM), where the population is
benthic by day and pelagic by night. However, historical and recent observations in …

Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) are high latitude pelagic organisms which play a key
ecological role in the ecosystem of the Southern Ocean. To synchronize their daily and …
