Copepod Population-Specific Response to a Toxic Diatom Diet Chiara Lauritano*, Ylenia Carotenuto, Antonio Miralto, Gabriele Procaccini, Adrianna Ianora Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn, Villa Comunale, Napoli, Italy Abstract Diatoms are key phytoplankton organisms and one of the main primary producers in aquatic ecosystems. However, many diatom species produce a series of secondary metabolites, collectively termed oxylipins, that disrupt development in the offspring of grazers, such as copepods, that feed on these unicellular algae. We hypothesized that different popu
