The feeding ecology of little auks raises questions about winter zooplankton stocks in North Atlantic surface waters

Copepods are essential components of marine food webs worldwide. In the North Atlantic, they are thought to perform vertical migration and to remain at depths more than 500 m during winter. We challenge this concept through a study of the winter feeding ecology of little auks (Alle alle), a highly a...
