Interannual variability in Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) density at South Georgia, Southern Ocean: 1997–2013 (2014, background): “The distribution of krill is described as patchy (Marr, 1962) and its behaviour commonly described as obligate swarming (Hamner et al., 1989; Tarling et al., 2009).”
Variable food absorption by Antarctic krill: Relationships between diet, egestion rate and the composition and sinking rates of their fecal pellets (2012, background): “We speculate that one crucial difference may be their swarm density, which is orders of magnitude higher within krill schools (Hamner and Hamner, 2000; Tarling et al., 2009).”
Spatial association between hotspots of baleen whales and demographic patterns of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba suggests size-dependent predation (2010, unknown): “In contrast, humpback whales may rely on the dense schooling of juvenile (<34 mm) krill over the deep basins of Bransfield Strait (Tarling et al. 2009).”
