Total copper concentrations of 10 [mu]g/l to 100 [mu]g/l appeared to
alter the predator-prey interactions of fathead minnows (Pimephales
promelas) and Daphnia pulex. The effect of copper concentration on
the total amounts of D. pulex consumed over a 12-h period varied with
the density of prey stocked hourly in the...
Under laboratory conditions, elevated temperatures accelerated production of gametes. However, when conditioning for spawning at elevated temperatures was
