Zooplankton in the eastern tropical north Pacific: Boundary effects of oxygen minimum zone expansion (2013, neutral): “The most likely candidates are light level, because of the presumed importance of low light for avoiding visual predators (Hays, 2003), and temperature, because of its effects on metabolic rates.”
The nature, extent, and ecological implications of marine light pollution (2014, neutral): “Hays GC. 2003.”
Seabed foraging by Antarctic krill: Implications for stock assessment, bentho‐pelagic coupling, and the vertical transfer of iron (2011, background): “Many herbivorous and omnivorous mesozooplankton species feed on phytoplankton near the surface at night but use deeper water as a daytime refuge from visual predators (Hays 2003).”
The adaptive value of energy storage and capital breeding in seasonal environments (2009, background): “Such retreats to deep waters have not been observed in marine copepods, possibly because other anti-predator responses are more effective, such as diel vertical migrations (Hays 2003).”
Direct and indirect trophic interactions of Aurelia sp. (Scyphozoa) in a stratified marine environment (Mljet Lakes, Adriatic Sea) (2007, background): “It is not clear why Aurelia would migrate to deeper layers overnight although residing in cold water may provide a metabolic advantage (Hays 2003).”
Satellite tracking of the World's largest bony fish, the ocean sunfish (Mola mola L.) in the North East Atlantic (2009, background): “These observations fit the classic pattern of normal diel vertical migration (DVM), whereby zooplankton occur deeper in the water column during the day and shallower at night (Hays, 2003).”
Evaluation of functional trait diversity for marine zooplankton communities in the Northeast subarctic Pacific Ocean (2015, background): “Note however, that the tendency to display DVM in any given context is thought to be driven mainly by conditions of light, food and predation (Lampert, 1989; Hays, 2003).”
Habitat‐specific normal and reverse diel vertical migration in the plankton‐feeding basking shark (2005, background): “The daily change in vertical abundance of zooplankton, termed diel vertical migration (DVM), is a widespread behavioural phenomenon among marine and freshwater species (Hays 2003) that influences foraging patterns of vertebrate predators (e.”
Exploring Ultimate Hypotheses to Predict Diel Vertical Migrations in Coregonid Fish (2007, background): “DVM are well studied in zooplankton populations, including Daphnia, Chaoborus, copepods, and euphausiids (reviewed by Lampert 1993; Hays 2003), and freshwater and marine fish (Rudstam and Magnuson 1985; Huse and Korneliussen 2000; Scheuerell and Schindler 2003).”
Physical and biological controls on larval dispersal and connectivity in a highly energetic shelf sea (2013, methodology): “Diel vertical migration is thought to be an adaptive response to predation (Hays 2003).”
Diel vertical migration: Ecological controls and impacts on the biological pump in a one‐dimensional ocean model (2013, background): “[17] It is generally agreed that DVMoriginates as a trade-off between the advantage of feeding in phytoplankton-rich surface layers and the advantage of residing in the deeper, darker layers during daytime, where visual predation is inhibited [e.g., Hays, 2003].”
Foraging behaviour of four albatross species by night and day (2007, background): “As it grows dark, squid and fishes become harder for visual predators to detect, and many species move closer to the surface to feed on zooplankton (Hays 2003, Robison 2003).”
Characteristics of a manta ray Manta alfredi population off Maui, Hawaii, and implications for management (2011, background): “Although zooplankton distribution and abun - dance can be highly variable across space and time (Greene et al. 1998), certain changes in the vertical abundance of zooplankton, termed diel vertical migration, can be predicted (for review see Hays 2003).”
From polar night to midnight sun: photoperiod, seal predation, and the diel vertical migrations of polar cod (Boreogadus saida) under landfast ice in the Arctic Ocean (2010, background): “Among various theories on the causes and trophic advantages of diel vertical migrations in the ocean, the complementary predator-evasion and hunger/satiation hypotheses are most popular (Lampert 1989; Hays 2003; Pearre 2003).”
Bridging the gap between marine biogeochemical and fisheries sciences; configuring the zooplankton link (2014, background): “These include daily and seasonal vertical migrations, adapting different swimming modes in order to achieve a balance between avoiding mortality due to predation and enhancing encounter rates with prey items (Osgood and Frost, 1994; Hays, 2003; Titelman and Kiørboe, 2003; Pierson et al., 2005) and e”
