Abstract
Our knowledge of behaviour at the base of migration is limited. Researchers of zooplankton are not often enthusiast students of behaviour. There are notable exceptions, of course, and we have encountered them in the previous chapters. In the “World of Plankton”, a beautiful book by Sir Allister Hardy, the richness of the tiny organisms in the seas and oceans is described but the real world, as experienced by a copepod, a medusa or a chaetognath, is hardly touched upon. To touch upon that world, studies of behaviour are necessary.
