Data from: Consumer-resource dynamics is an eco-evolutionary process in a natural plankton community
(2019)For an important consumer-resource interaction in a natural lake (Oneida Lake, New York State) in 2015, the ecological process of grazer population growth rate was a function of both evolutionary changing mean resistance ... -
The timing of copepod diapause as an evolutionarily stable strategy
(University of Chicago, 1984-06)Diaptomus sanguineus, a small freshwater copepod, avoids periods of intense fish predation by producing diapausing eggs. We developed a computer simulation of the copepod's life history and used it to compete populations ... -
The interaction of photoperiod and temperature in diapause timing: a copepod example
(University of Chicago Press, 1995-08)In many organisms, photoperiod and temperature are thought to be the most significant token cues for seasonally timed life history events, including diapause in arthropods. A common pattern in many species of terrestrial ... -
Role of overlapping generations in maintaining genetic variation in a fluctuating environment
(University of Chicago, 1994-03)Population genetics theory suggests that temporally fluctuating selection on pheno- types can act to maintain genetic variance only under very restrictive conditions. However, this conclusion is based on models with discrete ... -
Species-specific Daphnia phenotypes: a history of industrial pollution and pelagic ecosystem response
(Ecological Society of America, 2005-07)Phenotypic differences among species, even closely related species, may translate into distinct effects on ecosystem dynamics. In lakes, the generalist grazer genus Daphnia often has marked effects on the abundance of ...
