世代时间与成体体重和温度的关系对于我们理解浮游动物行为、生态和进化的许多方面至关重要，但这些关系仍然知之甚少。在这里，我使用荟萃分析来定义海洋和淡水浮游动物物种（轮虫、桡足类和枝角类）的世代时间与体重和温度的关系，温度范围为 5-20 摄氏度。我还定义了世代时间的组成部分（胚胎和胚胎后发育时间）的关系，作为在此温度范围内浮游动物的卵和体重的函数。这些关系为评估各个浮游动物物种之间的世代时间差异提供了强大的工具。
The relationships of generation time to both adult body mass and temperature are critical to our understanding of numerous aspects of zooplankton behavior, ecology and evolution, yet these relationships remain poorly understood. Here, I use a meta-analysis to define the relationship of generation time to body mass and temperature for both marine and freshwater zooplankton species (rotifers, copepods and cladocera), for temperatures from 5-20 degrees C. I also define a relationship for the constituent parts of generation time (embryonic and postembryonic development time) as a function of egg and body mass for zooplankton across this temperature range. These relationships provide powerful tools for evaluating differences in generation time between individual zooplankton species.
