title: The respiration rate of the resting eggs of Leptodora kindti (Focke 1844) and Bythotrephes longimanus Leydig 1860 (Crustacea, Cladocera) at environmentally encountered temperatures.
abstract: Respiration rates of the resting eggs of Leptodora kindti and Bythotrephes longimanus were measured in the laboratory at temperatures between 2.4 and 6.2° C. Results are used to explore the relationships between the duration of dormancy and egg size in the natural habitat.
