Physiological adaptations of copepods from the North Sea and the North Atlantic to changing nutritional conditions
Marine calanoid copepods, which constitute a major component of the marine food web, have to adapt to changing environmental conditions in order to efficiently use dietary components for growth and reproduction. Detailed knowledge on their feeding behaviour, their physiological responses to nutritio...
