Impact Description | Vertical migration has also been observed in Daphnia spp. and copepod (e.g., Diacyclops thomasi, Leptomdiaptomus ashlandi, Leptomdiaptomus minutus) populations following Bythotrephes longimanus (spiny waterflea) invasion. Such migration can lead to an indirect negative effect on these native prey species, including reduced individual and population growth rates at lower temperatures. |
