Daphnia versus Copepod Impact on Summer Phytoplankton: Functional Compensation at Both Trophic Levels

Here we report on a mesocom study performed to compare the top-down impact of microphagous and macrophagous zooplankton on phytoplankton. We exposed a species-rich, summer phytoplankton assemblage from the mesotrophic Lake Schöhsee (Germany) to logarithmically scaled abundance gradients of the micro...
