    • The morphology of the filtering apparatus of eight Daphnia species (62 individuals of all size classes) was investigated by scanning electron microscopy. In the majority of animals the intersetular distances (= mesh sizes) showed a normal distribution and the mean values were between 0.2 and 1.0 /un. The total filtering area increased approximately proportionally to the second power of the body length. Absolute values were between 0.063 and 2.6 mm3, with open portions of between 64% and 77% of… CONTINUE READING
