Discussion
- This entry concerns parthenogenetic reproduction, so females only
- No density data available; d_V = 0.035 g/cm^3 is assumed because this species is very watery
- Effect of feeding on survival is probably due to NO2 in paramecia, which were fed with lettuce
Facts
- This entry is discussed in Kooy2010, cf Fig 6.12 (Ref: Kooy2010)
