Implications of copepod predation1
Abstract
The copepod Epischura nevadensis selectively preys on zooplankton communities in a way that reduces the abundance of the cladoceran Bosmina longirostris and favors larger‐bodied species. Bosmina responds to this predation by behavioral and morphological adjustments that frustrate the searching and handling strategies of the predatory copepods; this response implies considerable evolution between the two antagonists. Predation by copepods and other freshwater invertebrates seems an important factor in determining not only the size composition of lake communities, but the shape in some species.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
