... A. hudsonica responded to increased seawater viscosity. These distinct behaviors highlight the diversity of the zooplankton movement strategies and the differing ways that zooplankton respond to environmental conditions. A better understanding of calanoid feeding and movement behavior may help explain copepod...

...Clara Fannjiang; T. Aran Mooney; Seth Cones; David Mann; K. Alex Shorter; Kakani Katija ABSTRACT Zooplankton play critical roles in marine ecosystems, yet their fine-scale behavior remains poorly understood because of the difficulty in studying individuals in situ . 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...
