## Abstract The cyclopoid copepod __Mesocyclops thermocyclopoides__, a dominant invertebrate predator in many shallow ponds and temporary water bodies in northern India, feeds on cladocerans, rotifers, ciliates and when present, on mosquito larvae also. We studied in the laboratory the prey consump
Starting from natural planktonic systems, we present a new mechanism involving spatial heterogeneity, and develop a new spatial structure model of planktonic predation systems. Firstly, the effect of diffusion on the dynamics of the system is investigated. We find that diffusion of only prey or both
