Structural Cyclomorphosis in Populations of Low-motility Zooplankton A prediction of the individual magnitude and frequency within a population of cyclomorphic response to different predation styles.

What does it all mean?

What does it all mean- Cyclomorphosis Cyclomorphosis is a well known phenomenon in Daphnia and other genus of plankton that involves a regular, seasonal, or induced change in body allometry (Black & Slobodkin, 1987) Put simply, it is a reversible change in body shape that can be prompted by any of a number of things.

What does it mean for cyclomorphosis to be predator induced? In many cases, cyclomorphic response is prompted by the presence of things that eat zooplankton. Zooplankton can sense predator specific kairomones (like pheromones) that indicate predator presence. When zooplankton sense these kairomones, they begin to grow defenses.

Differences in Predation styles 3 major types of planktivorous predators. Active hunting vertebrates Filter feeding vertebrates Macroinvertebrate predators. Each predator hunts in a way that is most effective on a certain prey body size.

Active hunting vertebrates Active hunting vertebrates hunt visually They rely upon detecting prey before consuming them Source: Confer et al 1978

Filter feeding vertebrates These individuals feed indiscriminately, much like a whale feeding on krill. By opening their mouths and swimming along, they catch plankton in a sieve-like structure that filters them from the passing water. Source: Brooks & Dodson 1968

Macroinvertebrate predators These predators rely heavily upon mouthpart correspondence to prey size. If something is too big, they cannot eat it. Source: Piet Spaans, Netherlands

Size-selective predation by active hunting vertebrates

Conclusion Cyclomorphosis in Zooplankton has limited negative effects on individual zooplankton. Vertebrate predators feed predominantly on larger individuals. Macroinvertebrate predators feed predominantly on smaller individuals. Macroinvertebrate predators have a lower population concentration in areas with high vertebrate predation. Therefore, zooplankton populations capable of developing structural defenses will develop more defenses in areas with high macroinvertebrate predation and less defenses in areas dominated by vertebrate predators.
