Seasonal variation in the relative strength of bottom-up <em>vs</em> top-down effects in pelagic cladoceran populations identified through contribution analysis of birth rate
Pelagic freshwater communities are characterized by the presence of strong trophic interactions, with the dominance of either food limitation (bottom-up effect) or predation pressure (top-down effect) alternating in time. Though this temporal variation should have a major impact on zooplankton dyna...
