The population dynamics of Calanus chilensis (Copepoda: Crustacea) was analyzed using a mixture of field data and mathematical models. Field data were obtained in the Humboldt Current upwelling area, at Mejillones del Sur ...

Marine pelagic copepods must cope with a highly heterogeneous environment in coastal upwelling systems. In addition to spatial and temporal heterogeneity in temperature and food supply, advective forces may strongly influence ...

An experiment under laboratory conditions was conducted to test the hypothesis that development and growth of copepodite stages in Calanus chilensis are temperature-dependent and not subject to food shortage in the upwelling ...
