Planktonic copepods are small crustaceans that have the ability to swim by quick powerful jumps. Such an aptness is used to escape from high shear regions, which may be caused either by flow perturbations, produced by a large predator (i.e., fish larvae), or by the inherent highly turbulent dynamics of the ocean. Through a combined experimental and numerical study, we investigate the impact of jumping behavior on the small-scale patchiness of copepods in a turbulent environment. Recorded…

The orientation of spheroidal particles dispersed in a fluid flow is known to influence the particles’ rotation mode. Rod-like and disk-like particles orient themselves differently and accordingly…
Preferential Sampling of Elastic Chains in Turbulent Flows.
- PhysicsPhysical review letters

A string of tracers interacting elastically in a turbulent flow is shown to have a dramatically different behavior when compared to the noninteracting case, and the effect of modifying the deformability of the chain via the number of links that form it is also examined.
Evidence for ubiquitous preferential particle orientation in representative oceanic shear flows

Clear evidence of preferential alignment of particles was seen at all sampling stations, where the orientation probability density function (PDF) peaked at near horizontal angles and coincided with regions of low velocity shear and weak turbulent dissipation rates.
Copepods encounter rates from a model of escape jump behaviour in turbulence
- Environmental Science

This study investigates the encounter rates of copepods of the same species in a developed turbulent flow with intensities comparable to those encountered in their natural habitat by means of a Lagrangian copepod (LC) model that mimics the jump escape reaction behaviour from localized high-deformation rate fluctuations in the turbulent flows.

Turbulence triggers vigorous swimming but hinders motion strategy in planktonic copepods

It is demonstrated that swimming contributes substantially to the dynamics of copepods even when turbulence is significant, and the broadly accepted mate-searching strategies based on trajectory complexity and movement patterns are inefficient in energetic environments.
The fluid dynamics of swimming by jumping in copepods
- Environmental ScienceJournal of The Royal Society Interface

It is shown that jump-swimming produces a hydrodynamic disturbance with much smaller spatial extension and shorter temporal duration than that produced by a same-size copepod cruising steadily at the same average translating velocity, which means that small copepods in jump- Swimming are in general much less detectable by rheotactic predators.
