•Work on parameters for
model for C. finmarchicus; development of general set for all of NW Atlantic
•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 Saumweber and Durbin functions for potential diapause duration
•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
