POPULATION DYNAMICS AND COMMUNITY ECOLOGY OF ZOOPLANKTON

Range of Food Sizes for Flagellates

Seasonal and Vertical Changes in Grazing

Rotifer Population DynamicsComparison between simulated and observed population and clonal dynamics. Simulated (A and B) and observed (C–F) population dynamics of total algal cells (open circles, 2 × 106 cells per liter) and rotifers (open diamonds, females per liter) and clonal frequency dynamics of defended clone (UTEX 265, solid squares) and competitive clone (UTEX 396, solid triangles). (C and D) Chemostat results using 80 μM nitrogen medium. (E and F) Chemostat results using 160 μM nitrogen medium. Both chemostats run at a dilution rate, δ, of 0.85.

Fig. 3. – Abundance of L. decipiens, B. variabilis and K. tropica in the Schelde estuary in 2002. Stations in the Schelde are denoted according to their distance (in km) to the mouth, at Vlissingen. Stations in the tributaries were called “Ru” for Rupel, “Du” for Durme, “De” for Dender and “Bo” for Boven Schelde. The black line indicates the brackish area of the estuary.
