The Rate-Size Trade-Off Structures Intraspecific Variation in Daphnia ambigua Life History Parameters
The identification of trade-offs is necessary for understanding the evolution and maintenance of diversity. Here we employ the supply-demand (SD) body size optimization model to predict a trade-off between asymptotic body size and growth rate. We use the SD model to quantitatively predict the slope of the relationship between asymptotic body size and growth rate under high and low food regimes ...
متن کاملResurrected Ceriodaphnia quadrangula highlight differences between pheno- and genotypic expressions
The hatching of cladoceran ephippia from a 15-cm long sediment core was investigated, and Ceriodaphnia quadrangula clones were isolated from different sediment layers. Bosmina microfossil data were also analyzed, and compared with the corresponding data from a Pb210 dated core, which allowed us to infer the age of the sediment layers. Using changes in Bosmina microfossil morphologies, we were, ...
متن کاملA cascade of evolutionary change alters consumer-resource dynamics and ecosystem function.
It is becoming increasingly clear that intraspecific evolutionary divergence influences the properties of populations, communities and ecosystems. The different ecological impacts of phenotypes and genotypes may alter selection on many species and promote a cascade of ecological and evolutionary change throughout the food web. Theory predicts that evolutionary interactions across trophic levels...
متن کاملSpecies- and Age-Specific Differences in Bacterial Resource Utilization by Two Co-Occurring Cladocerans
The trophic interaction between zooplankton and bacteria was examined to determine how this food web linkage varied with resource abundance and consumer species and age. Life table experiments and feeding-rate measurements were conducted with two species of co-occurring cladocerans, Daphnia parvula and Ceriodaphnia lacustris. Cohorts of these cladocerans were followed from birth to death and fe...
متن کاملLength-weight relationships and biomass of the main microcrustacean species of two large tropical reservoirs in Brazil.
Length-weight equations were determined for the main microcrustacean species of Três Marias and Furnas reservoirs (state of Minas Gerais, Brazil), and evaluated the fluctuations of their biomass. We examined the following species: Thermocyclops minutus, Bosminopsis deitersi, Bosmina hagmanni, Ceriodaphnia cornuta, and Moina minuta (Três Marias Reservoir), and Notodiaptomus henseni, Daphnia ambi...
