Grazer control of bacterial abundance in a freshwater pond community
Metazoan grazing of bacteria represents a potential pathway for the transfer of bacterial production to higher trophic levels. Freshwater cladocerans of the genus Daphnia are able to reduce bacterial abundance in lakes, but many experiments have been restricted to the summer months. It is therefore...
