Combined effects of turbulence and different predation regimes on zooplankton in highly colored water-implications for environmental change in lakes.

In aquatic ecosystems, predation is affected both by turbulence and visibility, but the combined effects are poorly known. Both factors are changing in lakes in the Northern Hemisphere; the average levels of turbulence are predicted to increase due to increasing wind activities, while water transpar...
