The effect of marine snow particle distribution and density gradients on the foraging behavior of Calanus pacificus Copepods play a critical role in transferring energy up the food web and can often exhibit foraging strategies that allow them to capitalize on patchy…

Congrats to my former Master's student, Elena Beckhaus, who just published her first paper based on her thesis work.
In this study, we investigated how copepod foraging behavior is affected by marine snow layers and density gradients. 🌊 Check it out here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Hope you enjoyed. Which one is your favorite?

A two panel meme featuring Drake with phytoplankton around his head. The first panel shows him expressing distaste and the text reads "Clear, still water with low nutrients". The second panel shows Drake happy and the text reads "Upwelling zones full of turbulence and nutrients".

And lastly here is one championing bloom-forming conditions for phytoplankton!

A two panel cartoon featuring Spongebob Squarepants. The first panel shows Spongebob wide-eyed and the text reads "Plankton before chemosensing a high nutrient area". The second panel shows Spongebob as very muscular in a boxing ring and the text reads "Plankton after chemosensing a high nutrient area".

Another one of the chemosensory behavior of plankton.

A two panel cartoon. Top panel shows two buttons and a finger hovering over them: one button reads "Increasing tumbling frequency" and another reads "continuing forward and hoping to stumble upon a concentration gradient". The second panel shows a man that is sweating as he determines which button to press and the text reads "Plankton"

We also learned about bacterio(plankton) and how their chemosensory ability to detect sources of food and adjust their random run and tumble movement to take advantage of it.

A four panel cartoon featuring Spongebob Squarepants. The first panel shows him holding up a note that says "Any common knowledge on how things move in the water". Second panel is Spongebob examining the note. Third panel shows him burning the note. And 4th panel reads "Life at Low Reynolds Numbers"

Another one on the non-intuitive flow at Low Reynolds numbers

"Plankton" from Spongebob Squarepants trapped in a bubble. Text above it reads "Life at low Reynolds numbers be like:"

One thing we learned about is the fluid dynamics of Low Reynolds numbers (such as very thick boundary layers) that plankton have to deal with to feed and move

Last semester I taught my undergraduate Plankton Ecology course – I thought I would share some of the memes my student's created as part of a final fun assignment! 🌊
