From the literature we obtained experimental data on the effects of small-scale turbulence
on plankton at the organism scale. Normalized rates in response to turbulence were …

ABSTFUCT Turbulence may enhance contact rates between planktonic predators and their
prey We formulate slmple and general models of prey encounter rates, taklng into account …

Three main groups of planktonic animals inhabit the limnetic zone of inland waters and
compete for common food resources: rotifers, cladocerans and copepods. In addition to …

Although medusan predators play demonstrably important roles in a variety of marine
ecosystems, the mechanics of prey capture and, hence, prey selection, have remained …

The distance at which plankters can detect and thus interact with each other depends on
their sensitivity, size, and motion, as well as the hydrodynamic characteristics of their …

Turbulent mixing is an integral aspect of aquatic ecosystems Turbulence affects ecosystem
features ranglng from phytoplankton blooms at large scales through microscale interactions …

Euchaeta rimana, a pelagic marine copepod, roams a 3-dimensional environment and its
antennular setal sensors are oriented to detect water-borne signals in 3 dimensions. When …
