Effects of climate variability on Calanus dormancy patterns and population dynamics in the Northwest Atlantic
J.A. Runge, A. Leising, C. Johnson
• Mechanistic explanation of dormancy in species of Calanus
• Development of Calanus life cycle model
• Evaluate how year-to-year variability in environmental conditions interacts with dormancy-control mechanisms to control Calanus population dynamics.
Lipid accumulation window hypothesis
• Individual Calanus can only enter diapause if their food and temperature history allows them to accumulate sufficient lipid for overwintering and gonad development
• Decision to proceed to dormancy is initiated when lipid stores reach a preset threshold (% by weight in stage CIV)
• Exit from dormancy by endogenous timer or when lipid stores decrease below a preset threshold
Life cycle model with lipid diapause rule:
