Abstract
Diel vertical migration of zooplankton in lakes has often been described and is obviously a common phenomenon. Most studies were confined to a few days, few sample times and depths. Therefore, most papers are rather anecdotal, lacking sufficient details to get insight into temporal development and underlying mechanisms. The few studies made during a greater part of a season have contributed more to our understanding. I therefore focussed on two detailed case studies: DVM in Lake Constance and in Lake Maarsseveen.
