Abstract
Survival and fecundity data, recorded in experimental populations of the archiannelid polychaete Dinophilus gyrociliatus were used to investigate the life-table response to enhanced zinc concentrations. Results evidencing a decrease of net reproductive rate (Ro), stable rate of population increase (r) and reduction of generation time (T), highlight a complex effect of zinc, in which reduction of fecundity is compensated by the concomitant decrease of generation time.
