Notes
The diel patterns of reproduction were studied for three rotifer populations from Lake Valencia, Venezuela. Significant departures from uniformity were recorded for egg eclosion and egg deposition rates in Keratella americana and Brachionus calyciflorus, but only from egg deposition rates in B. havanaensis. The existence of non-random reproduction has practical remifications for studies of population dynamics and secondary production.
