DNA Barcoding of Metazoan Zooplankton Copepods from South Korea
Copepods, small aquatic crustaceans, are the most abundant metazoan zooplankton and outnumber every other group of multicellular animals on earth. In spite of ecological and biological importance in aquatic environment, their morphological plasticity, originated from their various lifestyles and their incomparable capacity to adapt to a variety of environments, has made the identification of sp...
متن کاملPlanktivorous predation on copepods. Evaluation of mandible remains in predator guts as a quantitative estimate of predation
Size and shape of mandibles from 8 common species of copepods in Norwegian coastal waters are described, with the aim of using gut contents of copepod mandibles as a precise technique of quantifying predation rates on copepods. The carapace length of 7 of the 8 copepod species could be closely predicted from a general h e a r regression equation of carapace length versus mandible width. The exc...
متن کاملSmall and Medium Enterprises Financing in Bangladesh: The Missing Middle
This paper aims to comprehend the intrinsic limitations of the market players in the financial system and how these create a situation of `missing middle` for small and medium industries (SME) financing in Bangladesh. A clear dualism prevails in the manufacturing industry of this country. While the SMEs maintains the biggest share in establishments and employment creation, large enterprises (LE...
متن کاملSmall-rodent Dynamics and Predation
The hypothesis that the regular multiannual population oscillations of boreal and arctic small rodents (voles and lemmings) are driven by predation is as old as the scientific study of rodent cycles itself. Subsequently, for several decades, the predation hypothesis fell into disrepute, possibly because the views about predation and rodent dynamics were too simplistic. Here we review the work t...
متن کاملTrophic interaction between copepods and ciliates: effects of prey swimming behavior on predation risk
The transfer of matter and energy in planktonic food webs is determined by the encounter rate between predators and prey and subsequent attack and capture success. We tested if differences in swimming behavior and escape ability of 2 planktonic ciliates could explain differences in their susceptibility to predation from the calanoid copepod Acartia clausi. We chose 2 similarly sized ciliates, w...
