✦ Synopsis

The combined effects of different levels of temperature (15". 25" and 35 "C) and food Chlorella (1,2 and 4 x 106 cells/ml) on the life history parameters (lifespan, life expectancy, net reproductive rate, intrinsic rate of increase, developmental time, and generation time) of a laboratory population of the rotifer Brachionus patulua were investigated. Both food and temperature, independently and in interaction, significantly influenced nearly all the parameters. The reproductive performance was a direct function of the food level, but the magnitude of food effect was temperature-dependent. The observed temperature x food interaction effects are explained in terms of the energetics of resource apportionment between metabolism and reproduction.
