Interaction between Hexarthra intermedia (Rotifera) and Bosmina longirostris (Cladocera): a case of opportunistic nutrition or interference competition?
This study describes a new ecological association between two typical components of tropical freshwater zooplankton: the cladoceran (Bosmina longirostris) and the rotifer (Hexarthra intermedia), which, unlike those reported in the literature, led to mortal damage to the cladoceran.
