Abstract:
... The suitability for laboratory culture and comparative sensitivity of three species of New Zealand freshwater copepod (Calamoecia lucasi Brady, Boeckella delicata Percival, and Mesocyclops cf. leuckarti Claus) to pentachlorophenol (PCP) was assessed. Acute bioassays used two life stages (nauplii and adults). Acute 48-h lethality tests were conducted at 22 degrees C with laboratory cultured animals ...

Abstract:
... 1. Through analyses of a 34-year record of phytoplankton, zooplankton and physicochemical parameters from Lake Kinneret, Israel, we show that distinct and persistent phytoplankton assemblage states occurred from winter to summer. 2. The most obvious characteristic of these states was the presence or absence of a spring bloom of the dinoflagellate, Peridinium gatunense. 3. Analyses of the data with ...

Abstract:
... Cyclopoid copepods are common in lakes and ponds, and they have a significant predation impact on the communities of the small zooplankton species. To reduce the predation risk, some cladoceran zooplankters develop protuberant (defensive) morphologies in the presence of the copepods. In the case of the small cladoceran Bosmina, they elongate their appendages (antennule and mucrone) and change the ...

An additional benefit would be formation of a low‐oxygen refuge for large‐bodied herbivorous zooplankton in the metalimnion. The magnitude and timing of hypolimnetic oxygenation was deliberately manipulated during summer 1997 in Irondequoit Bay ...

L1 larvae of Ae. aegypti at different densities were exposed for 24 hours to a M. edax female without food for 24 hours, observing more predation by M. edax as the density of Ae. aegypti larvae increased, reaching 49 larvae consumed in 1 day. Using the Spearman statistical ...

Abstract:
... Five copepod species, Acantocyclops robustus, Macrocyclops albidus, Mesocyclops annulatus, Thermocyclops sp. (all Cyclopoidea) and Argyrodiaptomus bergi (Calanoidea), were evaluated under laboratory conditions as potential predators of preparasites of the mermithid nematode Strelkovimermis spiculatus. Adults of all five copepod species consumed 70-100% of the preparasites within 24 h. Copepodids a ...

Abstract:
... We compared the vulnerability of small cladoceran species (Bosminopsis deitersi, Bosmina longirostris, and Scapholeberis mucronata) to predation by Mesocyclops sp. in the laboratory based on prey handling time and ingestion probability. We also estimated the effects of ontogenetic changes on handling time by testing prey of various body sizes. All tested prey species showed an increasing pattern o ...

The subgenus Neomesocyclops subgen. n. comprises species almost exclusively living in the New World. The single exception is M. (N.) tenuisaccus (Sars 1927), described from South Africa, which may prove to be a junior synonym ...
