Recent wholesale change edit

Latest comment: 13 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

A single recent change to the article seems to have replaced the original DVM material with a broader discussion of VM. The new material is good, but it throws out some useful stuff and also makes the article more about VM than DVM. An alternative course of action could be to move the new material to vertical migration (which currently redirects to here). Thoughts? --PLUMBAGO 16:03, 1 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Confusion about mechanism edit

Latest comment: 1 month ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Per Plankton:

   Plankton are the diverse collection of organisms found in water (or air) that are unable to propel themselves against a current (or wind)

I don't understand how vertical migration is compatible with that definition. Are the plankton propeling themselves to higher or lower levels of the water, or merely coasting along some current? What is the mechanism of propulsion?
