Ontogenetic Sequence of Differential Gene Expression in Predator-Induced Daphnia pulex. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT In response to predators, many Daphnia species develop inducible morphological defenses. These traits are phenotypically plastic, meaning their production is suppressed in the absence of the predator. While previous studies have identified several neurohumoral factors and candidate genes involved in the development of the defenses, the ...

Preliminary Study on Host Use and Phylogenetic Analysis of <i>Corethrella nippon</i> in Taiwan. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study evaluated a new frog‐calling trap in Taiwan that successfully collected the species of Culicidae and Corethrellidae and identified host preferences, with Corethrellidae most frequently associated with Odorrana swinhoana and Kurixalus eiffingeri (mostly attracted to ~2022 Hz calls).

Acute and Chronic Toxicity of Sediments Containing Platinum and Palladium on Freshwater Benthic Organisms Chironomus riparius and Hyalella azteca. [PDF]

J Appl Toxicol
ABSTRACT The expanding demand for platinum group elements (PGEs) in industrial and medical applications has led to their increasing accumulation in aquatic sediments. However, their ecological impacts remain poorly understood, particularly for sediment‐dwelling invertebrates. This study assessed the toxicity of platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd) across a

Water mite predation on zooplankton of a tropical lake [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2002
Water mite (Krendowskia sp.) predation on zooplanktonic species from Lake Monte Alegre (São Paulo State, Brazil) was tested in laboratory experiments. One cladoceran, Daphnia gessneri, two copepods, Tropocyclops prasinus and Thermocyclops decipiens, and ...

Habitat Complexity Reduces the Feeding Strength of Freshwater Predators. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We investigated how habitat complexity influences the feeding responses of an ambush predator (Ischnura elegans) and a pursuit predator (Notonecta glauca) preying on Asellus aquaticus. Feeding rates of I. elegans were primarily affected by the presence or absence of structure, whereas N.

Quantification of Chaoborus and small fish by mobile upward-looking echosounding

Journal of Limnology, 2018
Chaoborus larvae inhabit frequently the water column of lakes, when they can be mistaken for small fish. Because larvae ascend up to the blind zone of downward-looking echo sounding at night, quantitative acoustic estimation of them is possible only with

Diel vertical migration patterns in two populations of Chaoborus flavicans larvae (Diptera: Chaoboridae) in response to fish kairomones

Journal of Limnology, 2008
Diel vertical migration (DVM) of larvae of the phantom midge Chaoborus flavicans (Diptera: Chaoboridae) inhabiting a fishless pond and a fish-abundant lake (Lake Nakanuma) was studied in the field and in the laboratory.

PHYLOGENETICS OF POND AND LAKE LIFESTYLES IN CHAOBORUS MIDGE LARVAE [PDF]

Evolution, 2003
Aquatic invertebrates experience strong trade-offs between habitats due to the selective effects of different predators. Diel vertical migration and small body size are thought to be effective strategies against fish predation in lakes. In the absence of fish in small ponds, migration is ineffective against invertebrate predators and large body size is
