摘要: ABSTRACT Growth and reproduction of three different-sized Dahnia species were measured under increasing competitive conditions. Only when food was not limiting, the largest D. magna superior to both smaller with respect total production offspring. This advantage disappeared availability decreased. Under limiting conditions all had similar rates production; thus, they utilized available resources same efficiency. Finally, at lowest concentration no longer able reproduce, but smallest species, longispina, still produced eggs. Therefore, contrary “Size Efficiency Hypothesis.” best competitor.
