Predation rates of zooplankton in arctic ponds’
Twelve species of arctic freshwater zooplankton were tested for predatory behavior in feeding trials, two species at a time, at several developmental stages. All were herbivorous as nauplii, early copepodids, or neonates. Heterocope septentrionalis and Acanthocyclops vsrnalis were common high-intens...
