The Use of Winter Water Temperature and Food Composition by the Copepod <i>Cyclops vicinus</i> (Uljanin, 1875) to Provide a Temporal Refuge from Fish Predation

The Use of Winter Water Temperature and Food Composition by the Copepod <i>Cyclops vicinus</i> (Uljanin, 1875) to Provide a Temporal Refuge from Fish Predation

Frequent predation induces various defense strategies in prey, including morphological changes or migration patterns in zooplankton. We hypothesized that the winter dominance of <i>Cyclops vicinus</i> in the Upo Wetlands, South Korea, is an evolved temporal defense mechanism to avoid fis...
