Weekend #Plankton #Factoid 🦐🦠
Today: #zooplankton and #turbulence. While marine #copepod effects are documented, little work has been done on turbulence and #cladocerans, which dominate freshwater systems - and notoriously poor swimmers.

MSc student, Luc Goulet, focused on #vorticity (rotation), very relevant to lakes and rivers. Using rotating cylinders, he found speeds where it interferes with #Daphnia ability to orient and feed, so relevant to their ecology. #science
