•Test LAW model against C. finmarchicus life cycle data
sets in the NW Atlantic. Does the
model reproduce variability
in individual years?
•Test refined and alternative hypotheses - Additional conditions required?
•Examine mechanisms for emergence from dormancy: parameterization of metabolic limitation of diapause duration (Saumweber and Durbin, 2006)
•Examine influence of climate change scenarios on Calanus life
cycle and population dynamics
•Further testing with time series observations, include measures of lipid levels in CIV and CV
