Abstract – Seasonal variation in light intensity has strong impacts on invertebrate and vertebrate habitat selection creating trade‐offs between foraging gain and risk of death. Diel vertical migration (DVM) has received a particularly interest, but multitrophic level studies in lakes under polar li...
