+Rhythm of secretion of Oikopleurid's houses
+
+Bulletin of Marine Science, Volume 37, Number 2, September 1985, pp. 498-503(6)
+
+An individual unable to expand its houses and feed was shown to have secreted 7
+house rudiments stacked on each other before dying. Number of houses secreted
+by hour in a 12 h period: 0.17 ± 0.04 at 14°C; 0.23 ± 0.04 at 16°C; 0.30 ± 0.04
+at 18°C; 0.36 ± 0.06 at 20°C and 0.44 ± 0.04 at 22°C. Increase of food supply
+increases house production. Individuals in artificial seawater still produce
+and discard houses before dying of starvation.

- Abandonned houses bring nanoplankton into the copepod food chain
([[Alldredge AL, 1972|biblio/17780989]]).
+ - _O. dioica_ discards houses for new ones even in artificial seawater with no
+ clogging particles. An individual stuck to the culture vessel could not inflate
+ new houses, but nevertheless synthesised 7 rudiments (stacked on each other) before
+ starving ([[Fenaux 1985|biblio/WOSA1985AYN8600012]].
+ - Temperature and food availability increase house production
