Tóm tắt

Experimental studies on the abundance dynamics and thermal tolerance of cladoceran Ceriodaphnia quadrangula (O.F. Müller, 1785) as they depend on the value and action pattern of a thermal factor, as well as field observations and mathematical calculations were carried out. Based upon the results of these studies, the values of the temperature zone of normal vital functions (17.0–25.0°C) and of the zones of temperature “static” optimum (21.4–25.0°C) were determined for C. quadrangula. It was shown using experimental populations of C. quadrangula as an example that it is necessary not only to keep the range of the factor optimal values within the tolerance scale (i.e., the static optimum) but also to maintain the optimal parameters of dynamic factor changes (or “dynamic optimum”) in order to form optimal conditions for their growth and development. For C. quadrangula this dynamic temperature optimum is 24.0 ± 1.1°C, with non-periodical (graded) warming to 24.7–25.3°C over five to eight days.
