✦ Synopsis


Additions of iron and NTA had minor stimulatory effects on the phytoplankton productivity of samples of water from two calcareous Michigan lakes in autumn and winter contrary to effects at other seasons . Added Daphnia pulex significantly reduced phytoplankton productivity by grazing at this time of year, in all tests at all levels of addition from 4-32 animals/ 1, greatly in excess of any possible beneficial effects of increased nutrient availability .

## Abstract The predatory impact of __Chaoborus flavicans__ on zooplankton, especially on daphniids, is often regarded as a crucial factor in the propagation or repeal of top‐down effects in lakes. Therefore consumption rates and prey selectivity of __C. flavicans__ were determined in mesotrophic L
