Journal ArticleDOI
Using random walk models to simulate the vertical distribution of particles in a turbulent water column
TL;DR: Computer simulations are presented to illustrate how and why these implementations of turbulent diffusion are incorrect, and a slmple technique that can properly slmulate turbulent diffusion in the marine environment is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predator and prey perception in copepods due to hydromechanical signals
Thomas Kiørboe,André W. Visser +1 more
TL;DR: The model demonstrates how larval fish behaviour is adapted to allow their undetected approach up to the strike distance of their copepod prey, and shows that prey velocity is much more significant for prey encounter rates than traditionally assumed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrodynamic signal perception in the copepod Acartia tonsa
TL;DR: It is suggested that A. tonsa cannot distinguish signals from those due to their own behaviour because they cause a similar spatial distributions of the signal across the body, and, hence, may detect predators at longer distances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristic Sizes of Life in the Oceans, from Bacteria to Whales*

Martens,Erik A. Martens,Anna B. Neuheimer,Anna B. Neuheimer,Anna B. Neuheimer,Karin H. Olsson,Artur Palacz,A. E. F. Prowe,A. E. F. Prowe,Julie Sainmont,Sachia J. Traving,André W. Visser,Navish Wadhwa,Thomas Kiørboe +24 more
TL;DR: This work collate and review data on size-based scaling laws for resource acquisition, mobility, sensory range, and progeny size for all pelagic marine life, from bacteria to whales, and divides life in the ocean into seven major realms based on trophic strategy, physiology, and life history strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plankton motility patterns and encounter rates.
André W. Visser,Thomas Kiørboe +1 more
TL;DR: This work predicts that organisms will display motility with long correlation run lengths compared to their reaction distances to their prey, but short compared to the reaction distances of their predators, and presents simple ballistic and diffusive motility models for estimating encounter rates.
