Zooplankton life cycles: Direct documentation of pelagic births and deaths relative to diapausing egg production
Zooplankton demographics operate over multiple time scales corresponding to pelagic parthenogenetic generations, an overwintering stage, and an ‘‘egg bank.’’ Comparisons of pelagic birth and death rates with seasonal diapausing egg production provide insights into local species persistence. The spiny cladoceran (Bythotrephes) possesses morphological adaptations (spines and thick-walled diapausi...

The number of units sold is a variable with different characteristics than price. It can be in some applications a discrete variable, and its...
متن کاملToxic marine phytoplankton, zooplankton grazers, and pelagic food webs
Interactions between toxic phytoplankton and their zooplankton grazers are complex. Some zooplanktcrs ingest some toxic phytoplankters with no apparent harm, whereas others are deleteriously affected. Phycotoxins vary in their modes of action, levels of toxicity and solubility, and affect grazers in different ways. Beyond effects on direct grazers, toxins may accumulate in and be transfcrrcd th...
