Vertical distribution of Subeucalanus monachus abundance (ind.m3 in the Aegean Sea. 1997.
M: March; S: September.
In the north Aegean Sea S. monachus (large copepod ) had an almost similar vertical pattern as Calanus helgolandicus, its maximum abundance was recorded in the 50-100 m layer (10.46 ind.m3 and 6% of copepods and decreased gradually down to 300 m (0.2 ind.m3) and10% of copepods. A slight increase was observed <500 m, but it relative abundance was important within the deep copepod community. The species was rarely found in the deep layers in the northern;

After Björnberg (1963, p.21) F. Dahl recorded E. vadicola at the mouth of the Amazon River, characterising it by a wider and flatter cephalon similar to that of the female of E. crassus, second caudal seta stronger than that of the European E. monachus, a fatter, not hairy last segment of the P5 in the male and a shorter terminal spine than in the European E. monachus; intermediate forms besides the described E. vadicola and E. monachus are present in the samples from Brazilian coastal waters. For the author, apparently E. monachus is a very variable species which prefers coastal or shelf waters of salinities below 35.00 p.1000.
For Vervoort (1963 b, p.100) suspects as S. pileatus a great variability in external appearance in S. monachus with a comparable degree of variability, and has little doubt that both species have frequently been confused.
Timonin (1971, p.282) considers the trophic interrelations in the equatorial and tropical Indian Ocean, and divides the plankters into 6 trophic groups from the litterature and the results of studies of mouth-parts structure and intestine content. This species is a coarse-filter feeder.
After Benedetti & al. (2018, p.1, Fig.2) this species belonging to the functional group 4 corresponding to small filter feeding herbivorous and mixed feeding omnivorous (mostly broadcasters).
