Studies on the Ecology of Tropical Zooplankton

Studies on the Ecology of Tropical Zooplankton edited by Henri J. Dumont, J. Green, H. Masundire.

This volume reports on the findings of experts on tropical zooplankton gathered at a meeting in Kariba, Zimbabwe, in 1991. Some basic questions were asked on community composition and biodiversity in the tropics versus the non-tropics. Old ideas on the nature of zooplankton, which were found to be w...
