Appendix A. Crustacean zooplankton species encountered and their functional traits.
TABLE A1. Crustacean zooplankton species encountered and their functional traits. Mean and CV of adult body length were mostly measured in this study, while habitat, trophic group, and feeding type were obtained from a literature review (Barnett et al. 2007). Letters in superscript indicate additional sources. Trophic group for omnivores include those that have more herbivorous tendencies (H-omnivore) and those with more carnivorous tendencies (C-omnivore). Feeding types C, D, S, and B represent filtration typical of chydorids, daphnids, sidids, and bosminids, respectively. Superscripted numbers indicate the categorical trait value for FD calculation.
