Individuals of the copepod Diaptomus nevadensis that contain high concentrations of carotenoids survive significantly better in natural intensities of visible light than less pigmented copepods. Vertical migration and behavior in light of different wave lengths are related to the degree of pigmentation.
含有高浓度类胡萝卜素的内华达哲水蚤个体,在自然光强度下的生存能力明显优于色素含量较低的哲水蚤。垂直迁移以及在不同波长光下的行为与色素沉着程度有关。
