Predation on rotifers by the suspension-feeding calanoid copepod
Diaptomus pallidus.
Preliminary report on six new species of
Diaptomus from Brazil.
Life cycle of the parasite is indirect, involving two intermediate hosts, the first is a crustacean of genera
Diaptomus or Cyclops in which procercoid stage develops and second is a fresh water fish which harbour plerocercoid stage of the tapeworm.
Black crappie displayed a population feeding pattern in which
Diaptomus and Cyclops each represented nearly 50% of the prey consumed by the sample population and Daphnia was consumed in low abundance (Fig.

(Eubosmina) coregoni and Cyclops,
Diaptomus, and Eurytemora species, were found (Selkere, 1955).
pulex is present in a pond, the only other species found are the two ubiquitous Arctic copepods Cyclops scutifer and
Diaptomus prihilofensis.
Assessment of grazing by the freshwater copepod
Diaptomus minutus using carotenoid pigments: a caution.
Also, experimental infection of two fish species (Cichlasoma synspilum, Poecilia reticulata), the Bullfrog (Rana catesbiana), and a copepod (
Diaptomus albuquerquensis) with second stage larvae of Dujardinascaris helicina yielded larvae only from 1 of 5 P.
