Lipid Accumulation Window hypothesis: Step 1 - Conditions allowing dormancy: suppose only copepods with > 50% lipid content can enter

Lipid accumulation window hypothesis: Step 2 - Temporal Filter

Lipid accumulation window hypothesis: Step 2 - Temporal Filter

Lipid accumulation window hypothesis: Step 3 - Predation Filter

Lipid accumulation window hypothesis: Step 4 - Emergence Timing linked to Entry Emergence survival linked to entry and Env.
