LIFE HISTORIES AND SEASONAL DYNAMICS OF COMMON BOREAL PELAGIC COPEPODS (CRUSTACEA, COPEPODA) INHABITING AN OLIGOTROPHIC FENNOSCANDIAN LAKE

Life histories and seasonal dynamics of common boreal pelagic copepods (Crustacea, Copepoda) inhabiting an oligotrophic Fennoscandian lake

The annual seasonal abundance and spatial distribution of four widespread pelagic copepods, the Palaeartic calanoid Eudiaptomus gracilis, the cyclopoids Mesocyclops leuckarti and Thermocyclops oithonoides, and the Holartic Cyclops scutifer were investigated in Lake Gjerstadvann, an oligotrophic boreal lake.Important ecological traits such as life c
