| Title | Evidence of Coprophagy in Freshwater Zooplankton |
| Creator | Pilati, A. Wurtsbaugh, Wayne A. Brindza, N. R. |
| Description | 1. Vertical transport of nutrients in sedimenting faecal material is greatly reduced by coprophageous organisms. Unfortunately, nearly all work on faecal production, sedimentation and coprophagy has dealt with copepods in marine ecosystems. Here, we report the first evidence of coprophagy in freshwater zooplankton from oligotrophic and eutrophic lakes. We used 14C-labelled algae and faecal material to estimate the rates of algal clearance and coprophagy. 2. Measured feeding rates per... |
