Table 1

Life-table demography of offsprings produced by three K. quadrata morphotypes at four food concentrations (×106 cells·mL−1) (mean ± SE). 2PS: rotifer with two posterolateral spines; 1PS: rotifer with one posterolateral spine; 0PS: rotifer with none posterolateral spine. The different lowercase and capital letters represent significant differences among different concentrations and among three morphs, respectively. R0: net reproductive rate; rm: intrinsic rate of population growth; G0/G1/Gh: alternative measures of the generation time; PDH: population doubling time, AL: average lifespan.
