Some effects of patchy food environments on copepods1
Laboratory determinations of the time taken for copepods to starve to death and of the effects of discontinuous food availability on egg production are used to demonstrate that different species are adapted to different scales of patchiness in their food environment. Acartia tonsa and Centropages ty...
