Their often high abundance andtheir function, as transfer organisms from algae and dead organicmatter to macro-invertebrates and fish, make them one of the mostimportant organisms to affect the biological processes in freshwaterecosystems. The Cladocera living among the plankton often haverecognizable distribution patterns and migrations; their size andbrief life cycles make them popular in laboratory experiments; theircyclic parthenogenesis makes them suitable for many aspects ofpopulation genetics; and they are present as microfossils in lakesediments. All these features confer a unique status on the Cladoceraas model organisms in many aspects of modern systematics and ecology. | 出版日期 | Conference proceedings 1995 | 关键词 | Ecology; algae; biogeography; ecosystem; ecosystems; phylogeny; plankton; Model invertebrates | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-011-0021-2 | isbn_softcover | 978-94-010-4013-6 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-011-0021-2 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 1995 |
