摘要: Abstract Interaction between Epistylis sp. and copepods was investigated in 3 tropical lakes. Epibiont load higher Thermocyclops minutus compared to Notodiaptomus ssp. at light compensation depth. No difference found surface. Infestation of seems respond copepod species densities. Attaching more abundant may increase encounter rates epibionts with its hosts, raising biological efficiency it even if attaching smaller hosts when rare larger ones are present.
