A Review of Planktivorous Fishes: Their Evolution, Feeding Behaviours, Selectivities, and Impacts
Hydrobiologia 146: 97-167 (1987) 97 0 Dr W.

L‘effet exercé par les poissons plaiictophages sur les commu- nautés zoo- et phytoplanctoniques ne fut reconnu qu’à partir des travaux de HrbáEek et al. (1961), HrbAEek (1962), Brooks & Dodson (1965), et StraSkraba (1965). Ces auteurs montrèrent (1) que dans les étangs et lacs en présence de poissons planctophages prédateurs visuels. les conimuiiautés‘zooplanctoniques étaient com- posées d’espèces de plus petites tailles que celles présentes dans les milieux dépourvus de planctophages et, (2) que les communautés zooplanctoniques résultantes, composées d’espèces de petites tailles, influençaient les communautés phytoplanctoniques. -

Food Web Topology and Parasites in the Pelagic Zone of a Subarctic Lake

Parasites permeate trophic webs with their often complex life cycles, but few studies have included parasitism in food web analyses. Here we provide a highly resolved food web from the pelagic zone of a subarctic lake and explore how the incorporation of parasites alters the topology of the web. 2. Parasites used hosts at all trophic levels and increased both food-chain lengths and the total number of trophic levels. Their inclusion in the network analyses more than doubled the number of links and resulted in an increase in important food-web characteristics such as linkage density and connectance. 3. More than half of the parasite taxa were trophically transmitted, exploiting hosts at multiple trophic levels and thus increasing the degree of omnivory in the trophic web. 4. For trophically transmitted parasites, the number of parasite–host links exhibited a positive correlation with the linkage density of the host species, whereas no such relationship was seen for nontrophically transmitted parasites. Our findings suggest that the linkage density of free-living species affects their exposure to trophically transmitted parasites, which may be more likely to adopt highly connected species as hosts during the evolution of complex life cycles. -
Alewife Planktivory Controls the Abundance of Two Invasive Predatory Cladocerans in Lake Michigan
Freshwater Biology (2007) 52, 561–573 doi:10.1111/j.1365-2427.2007.01728.x Alewife planktivory controls the abundance of two invasive predatory cladocerans in Lake Michigan STEVEN A.

SUMMARY 1. We sampled along a nearshore transect (10-m bathymetric contour) in Lake Michigan to determine diet, 24-h feeding periodicity, daily ration and food requirements of an invasive fish, the alewife, Alosa pseudoharengus, relative to zooplankton abundance and production. Our objective was to determine whether the alewife controls the abundance of two invasive, predatory cladocerans, Bythotrephes longimanus and Cercopagis pengoi. 2. Bosminidae was the most abundant prey taxon and Chydoridae, Leptodora, Chironom- idae and Bythotrephes were the least abundant. Neither Bythotrephes nor Cercopagis were important prey for small alewives (£100 mm). Bythotrephes was eaten by over 50% of large alewives (>100 mm) and accounted for 10–27% of the diet weight. Cercopagis was eaten by about 30% of the large alewives but only accounted 1% of the diet weight. 3. Food weight in stomachs was highest early in the night for small alewives and lowest at night for large alewives. Chironomidae and large Chydoridae were the preferred prey of small alewives. Bythotrephes and large Chydoridae were the preferred prey for large alewives. -

Regulation of Bosmina Longirostris by Leptodora Kindtii

Oceanogr., 36(3), 199 1, 483-495 0 199 1, by the American Society of Limnology and Oceanography, Inc Invertebrate predation in Lake Michigan: Regulation of Bosmina longirostris by Leptodora kindtii Donn K. Branstrator and John T. Lehman Department of Biology, Natural Science Building, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor 48 109 Abstract The density of Bosmina longirostris (0. F. Mueller) declined loo-fold between 25 June and 20 August 1985 in Lake Michigan; a similar pattern of changing abundances was observed in 1986 but not in 1987 or 1988. Bosmina collected from periods before and during the decline in 1985 and 1986 were examined for size at maturity and clutch size. Population size-frequency distributions suggest that some animals began to mature at smaller sizes during the decline in 1985. In some cases, the average clutch size for Bosmina of similar body lengths was significantly reduced during the decline in 1985 and 1986. These data suggest that food limitation was a factor in the species decline in both years. Gut content analyses indicate that of seven potential predators, Leptodora kindtii (Focke) was probably most responsible for Bosmina mortality. There is ample evidence that Leptodora does not consume strictly fluid from its prey: juvenile Leptodoru ate mainly smaller prey that included Bosmina and the rotifer Conochilus; adults ate a broader size range of prey that included mainly Bosmina, Daphnia, and copepods. In 1987 and 1988, Bythotrephes cederstroemii Schoedler was abundant in Lake Michigan and was contemporaneous with collapse ofthe Leptodora population and concurrent increase of the Bosmina population in August and September. -

Influence of Food on Morphological Characteristics of Daphnia Galeata (Cladocera, Daphniidae) from Lake Baikal
Limnology and Freshwater Biology 2019 (2): 199-204 DOI:10.31951/2658-3518-2019-A-2-199 Original Article Influence of food on morphological characteristics of Daphnia galeata (Cladocera, Daphniidae) from Lake Baikal Pitul’ko S.I. Limnological Institute of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Ulan-Batorskaya 3, 664 033 Irkutsk, Russia. ABSTRACT. The study shows the influence of feeding conditions on morphological characteristics of Daphnia galeata (Sars, 1863) in different areas of Lake Baikal. At high food concentrations and in the absence of invertebrate predators of the species Leptodora kindti, the daphnids have a large body size, low helmets and short tail spines. At low food concentrations, crustaceans with small-sized shells, poorly developed helmets and tail spines dominate. In the presence of the predators, an abrupt shift of adaptive variation occurs: at low food concentrations, the crustaceans have a large body size, and at high ones, small adult daphnids with well developed protective patterns dominate. Keywords: Lake Baikal, Daphnia galeata, food, morphological variability, the influence of predator 1.
