Life cycles and metabolic activity of Daphnia-populations in Arctic and Central-European biotops

Summary Metabolic activities of Daphnia pulex DE GEER in arctic and central european seasonal ponds have been compared. Heart rate was taken as a measure of metabolic activity. Under similar temperature and physiological conditions arctic females were a little slower than those of temperate regions....
