Climatic regime shifts and decadal-scale variability in calanoid copepod populations off southern California (31°-35°N, 117°-122°W.
Cumulative sums of nonseasonal anomalies from the long-term means of copepod abundance from years 1950 to 2000.
A negative slope indicates a period of below-average anomalies; a positive slope indicates a period of above-average anomalies. Abrupt changes in slope indicate step changes. Step changes are marked with arrows (downward -pointing for decreases).
The October 1966 cruise (prior to the increase in sampling depth), March 1976 cruise (prior to the 1976-77 climatic regime shift), and October 1988 cruise (prior to the hypothesized 1989 climatic regime shift) are marked with vertical lines.

Mean cephalothorax lengths and numbers measured of females.
See in Pleuromamma abdominalis for yhe mean surface temperature and Chlorophyll a of the month preceding each measurement at Station 'S' (SE of Bermuda).
Correlation coefficients for mean length with the temperature and chlorophyll of the preceding month were calculated. No correlation was found between the lengths and either the temperature or the chlorophyll. The variations in length noted are not related to the total phytoplankton cycle or to seasonal temperature changes.

Rem.: epi, meso & bathypelagic. Oceanic.
Sampling depth (Antarct., sub-Antarct.) : 0-300 m. Sargasso Sea: 0-1000 m (Deevey & Brooks, 1977, Station "S"); In vertical tow 4000-3000 m (Harding, 1974, Rem.: possible contaminant species from higher up the water column).
Grice (1962) emphasizes the existence of two size classes.
After Moraitou-Apostolopoulou (1985, p.309), due to the homothermal conditions in December on the coast of Israel, this deep water species appears in the planktonic community.
After Bradford-Grieve (1999 b, p.98) of all the forms mentioned by various authors, the large form is the most conservative and examination of Claus’ (1863) original description of Leuckartia flavicornis should retain the name Lucicutia flavicornis. The reason for this opinion is the large size of Claus’ specimens, the fact that right basipod 1 has a conspicuous rounded bump on the inner margin, and the female P5 has a long inner edge spine on the inner distal corner of exopod segment 2 (see Giesbrecht, 1892, figs.17, 19 and 29 in Plate 19). Examination of smaller forms from different oceans, which have been given the name L. flavicornis brings the conclusion that one or two undescribed species are involved at each locality and that these species may have much narrower geographic ranges than L. flavicornis sensu stricto. See L. flavicornis sp.
For C. Razouls, the only body size is not a good character, depending to chorologic factors, mixed generations.
A confusion is possible between this species and L. gemina. For Markhaseva & Ferrari, 2005 (p.1098) the southernmost locality was collected at 46° S in the SW Pacific (Bradford-Grieve, 1999), and should not be considered an inhabitant of antractic waters.
See remarks to L. gemina.
After Itoh (1970 a, fig., from co-ordonates) the Itho's index value of the mandibular gnathobase is 760, and after Lapernat & Razouls (2002, p.25): 709.7 (number of teeth: 9).


After Ehrhardt (1967, p.888, 894) the species is found in the southwest Tyrrhenian Sea in water salinity between 37.22-38.23 p.1000 (mainly between 37.77- 37.91) and for the oxygen between 4.45-5.90 cm3/l (mainly brtween 5.18-5.50).
Timonin (1971, p.282) considers the trophic interrelations in the equatorial and tropical Indian Ocean, and divides the plankters into 6 trophic groups from the litterature and the results of studies of mouth-parts structure and intestine content. This species is a coarse-filter feeder herbivorous.
After Benedetti & al. (2018, p.1, Fig.2) this species belonging to the functional group 4 corresponding to small filter feeding herbivorous and mixed feeding omnivorous (mostly broadcasters).
