简介
  1. Cyanobacterial dominance or blooms can influence ecosystem structure in reservoirs, yet there are only few studies of its effect on the resource use and trophic structure of zooplankton. We hypothesised that zooplankton traits would exhibit a strong response to the increase of invasive and toxic cyanobacteria.
  2. We investigated the effect of an invasive bloom‐forming cyanobacterium Raphidiopsis raciborskii (formerly Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii) on zooplankton functional traits (e.g., growth, reproduction, allochthonous resource use and realised niche) through laboratory experiments and 3‐year field investigations in two subtropical reservoirs. The realised niche (i.e., resource and habitat use) was quantified using stable isotopes (termed isotopic niches).
  3. We fed the cladoceran zooplankton Moina sp. with Scenedesmus obliquus (chlorophyte), Rraciborskii, and a mixture of S. obliquus and Rraciborskii in …
