摘要: The nematode/copepod ratio is critically examined with a view to adding some precision its proposed use in pollution ecology. At two unpolluted intertidal sites, differing markedly sediment grade, the metabolic requirements of copepods are shown be equivalent that fraction nematode population which feeds same way. partitioning this total energy requirement among individuals depends on distribution individual body sizes and relative rates metabolism. constrained by granulometry, affects nematodes differently. These considerations enable precise predictions ratios expected situations, against observed can compared.
