The blue whale, the largest animal to have ever existed on Earth, is not just a marvel of biological engineering but also a powerful force in marine ecosystems. Weighing up to 200 tons and stretching ...

Krill may be small, but they are certainly not insignificant. They measure just six centimeters in length, have a mass of only two grams, and are nearly invisible due to their transparent skin. Yet ...

To improve krill herd's (KH) ability for solving global optimization, by combining the advantage of KH and accelerated particle swarm optimization (APSO) method, an enhanced version of KH technique ...

Krill are a keystone species in Antarctica and, unfortunately for them, they reside near the bottom of the food chain. They provide food for some marine species and one of those species is the Adélie ...

There is something in the water Zooplankton like krill are sensitive to chemical cues about food, mates, and pollution and adapt their behavior accordingly, and Hellessey et al. wanted to know if ...

Although a single penguin is capable of devouring thousands of krill in a single sitting, swarms of the zooplankton may detect disturbances in the water ahead of mealtime. The telltale sign? Bird ...

In a second set of experiments, the researchers showed that krill reduced their rate of ingesting algae for food by 64% when penguin poo was added to the water, dropping from 12.7 micrograms of ...

A single Antarctic krill is about the size of your pinky finger. But with an estimated population of more than 700 trillion in the Southern Ocean, the tiny crustacean’s collective impact across ...
