Abstract: | In a previous paper (Solow and Steele, J. Plankton Res., 17,1995), the differences between variability in zooplankton biomassand in copepod stage structure were demonstrated using datafrom the northern North Sea. Here, a model is used to describethe underlying demographic processes and the effects of interannualphysical variability. Comparison of output with observationscan test the theory and so help to reconcile the apparent contradictionbetween great variability and persistence in these populations. |
