Heterocypris incongruens represents a cosmopolitan crustacean
species inhabiting continental waters of temperate climate.
They use the first and the second antennae and some body limbs for
swimming, and to capture food particles. Our previous investigation
revealed different behavioural activities and general food preferences
of this species. The aim of the present study is to further follow and
quantify locomotor and feeding activities of this species, in which individuals
had free access to different items in the experimental conditions.
In conditions that partially simulate its natural environment, we
measured time that the individuals spent on two aforementioned activities.
In order to measure feeding activities, four different types of
food were offered: two of the plant origin and two of the animal
origin. Also, some non-food items were included into experiment
(neutral aquarium sand similar in colour with food). Behavioural activities
of H. incongruens and their duration will be discussed in the
context of presence or absence of food.
