Chaoborus Punctipennis and Chaoborus Albatus: Influences of Fish Communities and Abiotic Factors

open access: yes
Chaoborus punctipennis Say and Chaoborus albatus Johnson are phantom midges with coexisting small transparent aquatic larvae that exhibit daily vertical migrations and occur in lakes with fish. We hypothesized that these species differ in their habitat preference as suggested by the principle of competitive exclusion and that fish predation affects ...

open access: yes, 1993
1. The cladoceran Daphnia serves as an example of an iteroparous organism, with overlapping generations, that is capable of substantial adult growth. The life history of Daphnia was modelled as the consequence of a series of decisions about allocation of
