Biological indicators reveal mesozooplankton foray behaviour in dynamic physical environments: Reply to Kaartvedt et al. (2024)
Kaartvedt et al. (2024; Mar Ecol Prog Ser 734:173-175) comment on the role internal waves played in the findings of Dewar-Fowler et al. (2023; Mar Ecol Prog Ser 715:27-39) that foray behaviour was present across a number of zooplankton species in the Polar Frontal Zone of the Southern Ocean. Kaartve...

In Figs. 4 & 5 of Dewar-Fowler et al.

This refutes the contention that physical processes such as internal waves dominated capture rates by the net-trap. Even within this physically dynamic oceanic frontal zone, biological indicators such as these biases support the assertion of Dewar-Fowler et al.
