PowerPoint Presentation - NWA GLOBEC Synthesis: Seasonal and interannual variability in Calanus finmarchicus abundance

Final Conclusions

¥Our findings for C. finmarchicus, C. pacificus and C. marshallae strongly suggest that multiple environmental factors are the likely cues for dormancy, as these copepods enter and exit dormancy over a wide range of times and conditions.

¥Our modeling results (for C. pacificus so far) suggest that lipid accumulation (or some equivalent storage compound) is a likely player in how dormancy is triggered.


	You could say at first point that although we didnÕt show it here, our findings for the observational data for C.pac and C.marsh are very similar to those for C. fin (not the exact Temperatures etc., but the general findings of wide range of entrance times, high variability etc.)
