Local Identifier:	edi.453.1
Title:	Zooplankton paired night and day density and biomass estimates, worldwide literature survey, 1900 - 2016
Alternate Identifier:	DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:	Zooplankton paired night and day density and biomass full water column estimates were derived from an extensive literature review to assess night and day differences in zooplankton population estimates. Data were collected from 48 published studies and 60 lakes and reservoirs for a total of 870 paired day-night zooplankton observations. Data were only included in analyses if samples were collected at least every 2 m from the surface to greater or equal to 80% of the station depth.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package

Description:

We conducted a Web of Science search engine (v. 5.32, 1982 to 18 May 2019) to find articles that reported day and night estimates of zooplankton density and biomass using the following topics: (zooplankton dens* OR zooplankton bioma*) AND (night AND lake). All articles from this search that had relevant paired entire water column zooplankton estimates were used in analyses. Data were extracted, if needed, from figures using WebPlotDigitizer (v4.2).

A second Web of Science search was conducted using a slightly different set of topic search terms to more comprehensively search the literature: (zooplankton AND day AND night) AND (lake OR reservoir). This second search was used to ascertain a robust search of relevant published articles. We also broadly searched older papers than the Web of Science timeframe for relevant data.
