Effects of constant and stepwise changes in temperature on the species abundance dynamics of four cladocera species

Laboratory experiments with natural zooplankton communities were carried out to study the effects of two contrasting temperature regimes: constant temperature (15, 20, and 25 °C) and graded changes in temperature. The graded regime consisted of repeated sustained (three weeks) controlled st...
