  1. POPULATION DYNAMICS AND COMMUNITY ECOLOGY OF ZOOPLANKTON II

  2. Often see coexistence of several congenerics. Mechanisms which promote their coexistence: • Seasonal separation • Vertical separation • Size differences in prey

  3. An oxbow (Varza Lake) was examined for vertical migration by zooplankters Rejas, D., L. de Meester, L. Ferrufino, M. Maldonado, and F. Ollevier. 2007. Diel vertical migration of zooplankton in an Amazonian varzea lake. Studies on Neotropical Fauna and Environment. 42(1): 71-81.

  4. Vertical Migration by Microcrustaceans Figure 3. Vertical distribution of the microcrustaceantaxa (Mesocyclops and Notodiaptomus) in Laguna Bufeos. Abundance is expressed as percentage of total number of individuals in vertical profile. White bars: day; dark bars: night. Error bars equal twice the standard error of the mean.
