Selective predation by Neomysis mercedis in Lake Washington1
Feeding experiments and examination of gut contents show that Neomysis mercedis is an effective predator on zooplankton in Lake Washington. Daphnia is consistently preferred to other prey; Diaptomus and Cyclops copepodids and nauplii are always underrepresented in mysid diets. This pattern of selectivity is consistent with the hypothesis that a large population of Neomysis formerly excluded Dap...
متن کاملInvertebrate predation and trophic cascades in a pe- lagic food web – The multiple roles of Chaoborus flavi- cans (Meigen) in a clay-turbid lake
Invertebrate predators often have dramatic effects on their prey communities. Unlike visually foraging planktivorous fish, invertebrate predators detect their prey by mechanoor chemoreception. Thus, fish and invertebrate predators affect zooplankton communities differently. Fish predation typically selects large cladocerans while invertebrate predators prefer prey of smaller size. Since inverte...

The small book De motu of 1628 in which it is enshrined has grossly overshadowed his other literary remains. And yet the latter deserve our full attention as well, if we wish to obtain a picture of Harvey as a whole, i.e. of the ...

Evidence of rainbow smelt (Osmerus mordax) spawning in Mohican Canyon, a tributary of Otsego Lake
Groups of Rainbow smelt were observed spawning in the first riffle in Mohican Canyon upstream of Otsego Lake. Adult smelt were collected with a shore seine on 22 April 2001. Sampled fish (n=17) had an average length of 176.8 mm total length (TL) and weight of 34.2 g. Despite these observations, no larval, juvenile or adult smelt were collected in any trawling or gill netting activities in Otseg...
