The objective of this study is to determine for the alpine copepod Hesperodiaptomus shoshone whether a) the species responds to hydromechanical cues in a manner similar to marine copepods, and b) if shear strain rate is an important cue in mating behavior. A free shear flow was simulated in the labo...
