A better understanding of calanoid feeding and movement behavior may help explain copepod distributions and trophic interactions. Broadly, the individual-level details resolved...

...Clara Fannjiang; T. Aran Mooney; Seth Cones; David Mann; K.

Here, we combine biologging...

...Ferhat Karakas; Daniel D'Oliveira; Amy E. Maas; David W. Murphy ABSTRACT Atlantiid heteropods are zooplanktonic marine snails which have a calcium carbonate shell and single swimming fin. They actively swim to hunt prey and vertically migrate. Previous accounts of atlantiid heteropod swimming...

...David W. Murphy; Deepak Adhikari; Donald R. Webster; Jeannette Yen ABSTRACT In a remarkable example of convergent evolution, we show that the zooplanktonic sea butterfly Limacina helicina ‘flies’ underwater in the same way that very small insects fly in the air. Both sea butterflies and flying...

...Corie L. Charpentier; Jonathan H. Cohen ABSTRACT Several predator avoidance strategies in zooplankton rely on the use of light to control vertical position in the water column. Although light is the primary cue for such photobehavior, predator chemical cues or kairomones increase swimming responses...

We propose that the perception of specific visual signals can be involved in behavior of zooplankton including marine invertebrate larvae, and that barnacle auto-fluorescence may be a specific signal involved in gregarious larval...

However, one possibility to ameliorate effects is to biotransform MC via glutathione S transferase (GST...
