The following equations describe these relationships: for P-PO4 excretion rate: Rotatoria Ep = 0.0154 W-1.27 e0.096T, Cladocera Ep = 0.519W-0.230 e0.039T, Copepoda Ep = 0.299 W-0.645 e0.039T; for N-NH4 excretion rate: Rotatoria EN = 0.0879 W-1.01 e0.088T, Cladocera EN = 1.80 W-0.191 e0.039T, Copepoda EN = 1.33 W-0.536 e0.039T, where Ep and EN denote the rate of P and N excretion, respectively, in μg · mg d. wt.-1 · h-1, W is the body weight in μg d. wt. and T is the temperature in C. Starvation was found to cause a 1.9-fold decrease in the phosphorus excretion rate, and a 2.2 -fold decrease in the nitrogen excretion rate.}, type={Text}, title={Phosphorus and nitrogen excretion by lake zooplankton (rotifers and crustaceans) in relationship to individual body weights of the animals, ambient temperature and presence or absence of food}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl/Content/79585/PDF/WA058_87247_P2840-T32_Eko-Pol-A-Nr-1.pdf}, volume={32}, number={1}, journal={Ekologia Polska}, publisher={Polish Scientific Publishers}, keywords={Rotatoria, Cladocera, Copepoda, phosphorus, nitrogen, excretion, temperature, body weight}, }
