Habitat partitioning by zooplankton and the structure of lake ecosystems

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: EXS ((EXS,volume 82))

Summary

Models of trophic chains commonly simplify interactions among species in a given trophic level. However, resource competitors within a trophic level can often interact strongly with one another, and the mechanisms of interaction may modify how such competitors participate in trophic interactions. Here we examine the role of habitat partitioning by Daphnia, commonly important grazers in lake ecosystems. We review the history of research on habitat partitioning in Daphnia, and suggest that habitat partitioning commonly reflects the conflicting constraints of avoiding predators and using environments that maximize growth. Based on such conflicting demands, we develop a graphical model of habitat partitioning under resource competition mediated by habitat-specific predators. Previous work has supported many of the predictions of the model except for some effects on the participation of Daphnia in trophic interactions. Using a standard D. pulex clone bioassay of food quality, we present evidence that these deviations can be accounted for by variable responses of algal communities that can alter their edibility of Daphnia.
