The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Mesopelagic zone ecology and biogeochemistry - a synthesis (2010, background): “The diel migration of zooplankton results in peaks in the abundance and biomass of many taxa at mesopelagic depths during the day (e.g., Angel, 1989b; Andersen et al., 2001; Steinberg et al., 2008b).”
Flexible diel vertical migration behaviour of zooplankton in the Irish Sea (2004, background): “A similar reason could be responsible for the ontogenic differences in the DVM behaviour of Calanus spp. Ontogenic differences in DVM have been previously reported for C. pacificus in mesocosm experiments (Huntley & Brooks 1982) and in the field (Osgood & Frost 1994), C. finmarchicus in Scottish loc”
A comparison of mesopelagic mesozooplankton community structure in the subtropical and subarctic North Pacific Ocean (2008, background): “…as: 180 WMD= Σ(ni × zi × di)/ Σ (ni × zi) 181 where di is the depth of a sample i (center of the depth interval, m), zi is the thickness of the 182 depth interval (m), and ni is the biomass or abundance of individuals in the depth interval (mg or 183 no. m-3) (Andersen et al., 2001; 2004).”
Plankton in the open Mediterranean Sea: a review (2009, background): “Similarly to the world ocean, the MS epipelagic layer is enriched during the night by the diel migrants that ascend from the mesopelagic layer (Weikert and Trinkaus, 1990; Andersen et al., 2001b; Raybaud et al., 2008).”
