Description
Summary:Fig. 4. The distribution of lorica oral diameters (LOD) of the tintinnid species found over 10 years of sampling. The LOD of a species is related positively to the diameter of the preferred prey size, about 25% of the LOD. Note that the most common LODs are 19–30 µm and 35–42 µm, suggesting most species feed on small prey (5–10 µm diameter). Note also that excluding species found only once and species suspected to be morphological variants of another species (see Table 2) yields few changes in the distribution.
