Vertical migration is a geographically and taxonomically widespread behaviour among
zooplankton that spans across diel and seasonal timescales. The shorter‐term diel vertical …

Phytoplankton is the essential primary producer in fresh surface water ecosystems.
However, excessive phytoplankton growth due to eutrophication significantly threatens …

The ecological succession of phytoplankton communities in temperate seas is characterized
by the dominance of nonmotile diatoms during spring and motile flagellates during summer …

As the herbicide acetochlor (ACT) affects the plankton food web, this study investigated the
effects of ACT and exocrine infochemicals from daphnids (after ACT exposure and/or …

Zooplankton play an integral role as indicators of water quality in freshwater ecosystems, but
exhibit substantial variability in their density and community composition over space and …

Background In lakes with a deep-water algal maximum, herbivorous zooplankton are faced
with a trade-off between high temperature but low food availability in the surface layers and …

This study examined spatial and seasonal variation of nutrients, algal biomass, and natural
organic matter (NOM) in six subtropical drinking water reservoirs in the Pearl River Delta …

In the last decades, limnic water bodies in the Northern hemisphere have experienced a
noticeable browning, ie, increasing levels of dissolved organic matter (DOM). While the …

Diel vertical migration (DVM) is a common behaviour of many pelagic zooplankton species.
While the causes (mostly predator avoidance) and ecophysiological consequences of DVM …

Diel vertical migration (DVM) of large zooplankton is a very common phenomenon in the
pelagic zone of lakes and oceans. Although the underlying mechanisms of DVM are well …
