Reply to Horizons Article ‘Some ideas about the role of lipids in the life cycle of Calanus finmarchicus’
The biotic and abiotic factors that modulate the life history of C. finmarchicus are not well described, and Xabier Irigoien (Irigoien, 2004) suggests some interesting hypotheses about what role lipids might play. He does, however, make some questionable assumptions about the role of lipids during o...
