The distribution of calanoid copepods in the plankton of Wisconsin Lakes

摘要: Zooplankton communities from 499 lakes were examined for calanoid copepod species. Limnocalanus macrurus and Senecella calaloides are confined to Lakes Michigan, Superior one inland lake each. Eurytemora affinis has recently become established in the coastal waters of Michigan Superior. Epischura lacustris is present summer plankton a wide variety types. Aglaodiaptomus leptopus sensitive fish predation small without fish. Leptodiaptomus ashlandi restricted Superior, but L. sicilis also found some lakes. minutus boreal species mostly far north. Skistodiaptomus oregonensis most commonly occurring seems well adapted meso-to low eutrophic pallidus generally distributed throughout state, less common than more siciloides A. clavipes western species, lakes, which expanding their ranges eastward, aided by cultural eutrophication.
