Definition of cladoceran in English: cladocerannoun kləˈdɒs(ə)r(ə)nkləˈdäsərən Zoology A minute branchiopod crustacean of the order Cladocera, which includes the water fleas. Example sentencesExamples - The cladocerans are excellent osmoregulators, occurring in freshwater to hypersaline environments.
- Examples of animals in the P. spathula diet are copepods, cladocerans such Daphnia pulex, and ephemeropteran nymphs.
- Adult land-locked fish eat mostly zooplankton, especially larger varieties such as copepods, cladocerans, mysids, and ostracods.
- Suspension-feeding zooplankton include rotifers, copepods, and cladocerans, with the latter constituting the major grazers in most small freshwater lakes.
- The carapace of cladocerans covers the throrax/abdomen but not the head, and is folded down the midline giving them a bivalved appearance.
adjectivekləˈdɒs(ə)r(ə)nkləˈdäsərən Zoology Relating to or denoting cladocerans. Example sentencesExamples - The predatory cladoceran Cercopagis pengoi has extended its range over the past decade from the Ponto-Caspian basin into the Baltic Sea and the Laurentian Great Lakes.
- Two current areas of research promise to enhance developmental studies on cladoceran hemoglobins, however.
- The bosminid-dominated cladoceran population uses both the cyanobacterial- and algal-derived C in approximately equal shares.
- Egg size, the zoological counterpart of seed size, has not been nearly as well studied, but is known to correlate positively with genome size in cladoceran crustaceans and plethodontid salamanders.
- The predatory impacts of Cercopagis pengoi, a planktivorous cladoceran were assessed by examining patterns in the distribution and population dynamics of macrozooplankton.
