Timing of reproductive events in the marine copepod Calanus glacialis: a pan-Arctic perspective (2013, background): “…state-dependent, with those individuals that have accumulated enough lipids beneﬁtting from an early ascent, while those that still proﬁt from continued feeding (late recruits) may remain in the surface layers until late in the season (Jónasdóttir 1999; Miller et al. 2000; Pond and Tarling 2011).”
Bridging the gap between marine biogeochemical and fisheries sciences; configuring the zooplankton link (2014, background): “More recent research proposes a new perspective on the role of lipids in zooplankton, suggesting that solid–liquid phase transitions of lipids are factors regulating their buoyancy and also controlling the life cycles of calanoid copepods that diapause (Pond and Tarling, 2011; Pond, 2012).”
Lipids in Marine Ecosystems (2013, unknown): “However, the importance of EFAs stems not only from their impact on animal growth, but also from many other facets of animal function, including reproduction, immunity, and ion balance regulation [22], and even buoyancy control [25].”
