Acknowledgements

We'd like to thank the following people for their help:

• J.C. Liu, S. Wilson, and R. Strickler for work on the live videos.
• D.M. Fields, M.H. Doall, and R. Foster for work on the capture sequence images.
• Stephanie Wilson for reviewing our animations.
• Annie Townsend, Curator of the SIO Planktonic Invertebrates Collection for helping us examine preserved specimens, for reviewing our models for correctness, and for providing us with many useful references.
• Alex De Robertis for help with copepod biology and for general advice and moral support.

We used the following software packages:

• 3D Studio Max from Discrete Logic for 3D animation
• Adobe Premiere from Adobe Systems to create animations and for video editing
• Micrografx Picture Publisher from Micrografx to manipulate images for web publishing
