Resource limitation and reproductive effort in a planktonic rotifer

2001-09-01

Abstract excerpt

Individuals that live in resource‐limited environments are faced with an allocation problem since they generally do not have enough assimilated energy to fuel each of the processes of reproduction, somatic growth, and storage at the physiological maximum rate. Thus, they have to decide on the proportions at which they allocate energy to the various processes. In laboratory experiments and field observations, I fou...
