Popis:	A single copepod species, Neocalanus plumchrus (Marukawa), makes up much of the mesozooplankton biomass in the subarctic Pacific. Its vertical distribution and developmental sequence are both strongly seasonal. Together, they produce a strong and narrow (2 = 0.56, development about 60 days earlier in warm than in cold years). But the change in developmental timing is too large to be explained solely by physiological acceleration of individual development rate. We suggest instead that the cause is interannual differences in survival among early versus late portions of the annual copepodite cohort.
