Abstract: | The chrysophyte Olisthodiscus luteus is not ingested by Synchaetacecilia. It inhibits the feeding on other, acceptable food atO. luteus densities as low as 50 cells ml1 and reducessurvival and reproduction at O. luteus densities > 103 cellsml1. The possible mechanisms and implications of thisphenomenon for the distribution and abundance of S. ceciliaare discussed. |
