Zusammenfassung:
Copepods are small crustaceans found only in water. Although they play a critical role in maintaining ecological balance in lakes and oceans, most people are unfamiliar with them. In 'Oar Feet and Opal Teeth', Charles B. Miller characterizes their shape, oar-like feet for escaping predators, and stone-like teeth. He also discusses copepods' internal anatomy, life cycle variations, and how they capture food and avoid predators.
