Important questions about zooplankton behavior include the evolutionary causes of vertical migration, the influence of behavior in generating and maintaining patchiness, and the effect of various behaviors on energy budgets. Zooplankton feeding rates and the potential for selectivity among prey types also remain controversial. In many respects we have reached the limits of what can be inferred about these topics from traditional techniques such as before-and-after grazing experiments in the laboratory and sampling with nets at sea. A variety of recently developed or proposed techniques could be used to obtain more direct information on zooplankton behavior.
