Zooplankton Reacts to Solar Eclipse
Zooplankton response to the 2017 solar eclipse Solar eclipse! Shortwave irradiance Krill got fooled! Depth (m) Diel Vertical Migration (DVM) Local time (PDT) HH:MM, August 21, 2017
A scientific chart shows shortwave irradiance dropping during the 2017 solar eclipse, while a colorful depth plot shows krill and other zooplankton moving vertically in the water column. The joke is that the krill mistake the sudden darkness for nighttime and get “fooled,” causing a dramatic migration as if the sun had actually set. It is used as a humorous reaction to overreacting to a temporary or misleading change.
