THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON THE DEVELOPMENT RATE OF THE MAJOR LIFE STAGES OF DIAPTOMUS PALLIDUS HERRICK1

Abstract

Diaptomus pallidus Herrickwere raised from the egg to adulthood at 10, 15, 20, and 2% under ad Zibitum feeding conditions.

Culture of Harpacticoid Copepods: Understanding the Reproduction and Effect of Environmental Factors

“…However, the development slowed at both lower and higher ends of temperature at 17.5°C and 30°C. Similar trends have also been observed in other copepod species, such as Diaptomus pallidus (Geiling & Campbell, 1978) and Acrocalanus gibber (McKinnon, 1996).…”

Egg Production and Hatching Success of Four Acartia Species under Different Temperature and Salinity Regimes

“…Temperature has been demonstrated to directly influence development rates of neritic and estuarine copepods (McLaren, 1963;Geiling and Campbell, 1972;Palmer and Coull, 1980;Tester, 1986;Hart, 1990). Observations in situ and under laboratory conditions have also established that egg production and development of eggs in copepods is affected by temperature (McLaren, 1965;Ambler, 1985;Kiørboe et al, 1988;Kleppel, 1992;Klein Breteler and Schogt, 1994).…”

A perspective on the use of cohort analysis to obtain demographic data for copepods1

“…In marine Calanoid copepods, development times of adjacent stages tend to be so similar that a "rule" of isochronal development has been proposed (Miller et al 1977; but see Landry 1983). Thus T,, 1 is typically close to T,, albeit usually somewhat longer (Geiling and Campbell 1972). Similar data exist for freshwater copepods, for which Ti+ ,/T, typically falls in the range 2/3-3/ (Elmore 1982).…”
