The chemical ecology of copepods (2014, background): “Threshold concentrations for feeding attractants to trigger patchy distributions of copepods are often 10(26) M or above (e.g. Poulet and Gill, 1988; Steinke et al., 2006), which is high compared with the nanomolar (10(29) M) threshold concentration of larger crustaceans (e.”
Current understanding of Phaeocystis ecology and biogeochemistry, and perspectives for future research (2007, background): “It has also recently been shown that copepods react strongly to DMS in the feeding current (Steinke et al. 2006), although it is”
Ecological functions of volatile organic compounds in aquatic systems (2007, background): “Steinke et al. (2006) observed herbivorous marine copepods (Temora longicornis) to respond behaviourally to DMS ‘odor plumes’.”
Zooplankton grazing on Phaeocystis: a quantitative review and future challenges (2007, background): “Seabirds are attracted by gradients of DMS in the atmosphere (Nevitt et al. 1995; Nevitt and Bonadonna 2005), and copepods are chemosensitive to DMS and react with search behavior when encountering plumes of this compound ( Steinke et al. 2006 ).”
