Plankton Vertical Migration

Plankton Vertical Migration is a spatiotemporal behavioral pattern in plankton populations characterized by systematic, often diel or seasonal, movements up and down the water column, typically involving ascent into surface layers and descent to deeper strata in response to environmental cues and ecological trade-offs such as feeding opportunities and predator avoidance.
