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.

The biostratigraphical history of Lake Otalampi in southern Finland, with special reference to the remains of subfossil midge fauna [PDF]
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1969 The biostratigraphical history of a small lake Otalampi in southern Finland has been studied. The remains of subfossil Bosmina have been analysed and the biostratigraphy of the larvae of lacustrine Diptera has now been applied in Finnish palaeolimnology.

Experiments on invertebrate predation on cladocerans and its relationships with lake data
Journal of Limnology, 2021 Until recently, knowledge of the impact of invertebrate predators on cladocerans in the Brazilian Lake Monte Alegre was limited to a few species. In order to assess the effects of predation on other cladoceran species, experiments were carried out with ...

Journal of Limnology, 2009 The response of Daphnia populations to invertebrate predators involves morphological or behavioural changes. Few studies suggest that contaminant aqueous metals, like Cu or Ni at environmentally relevant concentrations, interfere with invertebrate ...

Journal of Limnology, 2007 Some water fleas Daphnia change their head morphology to reduce predation risk in response to chemical substances (kairomones) released from larvae of the invertebrate predator Chaoborus (Insecta: Diptera).

Clouds, shadows, or twilight? Mayfly nymphs recognise the difference [PDF]
, 2006 1. We examined the relative changes in light intensity that initiate night-time locomotor activity changes in nymphs of the mayfly, Stenonema modestum (Heptageniidae).

Some aspects of prey capture by Chaoborus larvae1 [PDF]
Limnology and Oceanography, 1975 The effects of prey size, shape, and locomotion on capture, ingestion, and handling time were investigated in second‐, third‐, and fourth‐instar larvae of Chaoborus americanus and Chaoborus trivittatus from Eunice Lake, British Columbia. Before contact, densities and swimming speeds of predators and prey determine the number of interactions and hence ...

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

Neckteeth formation in two species of the Daphnia curvirostris complex (Crustacea: Cladocera)
Journal of Limnology, 2011 Cladocerans of the genus Daphnia show different morphological adaptations against invertebrate predation. Among those, the formation of neckteeth has attracted substantial attention. Morphotypes exhibiting neckteeth better resist predation from larvae of

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Inducible defenses are a wide-spread defensive mechanism in Daphnia. For example, D. cucullata is known to form different adaptive morphologies under changing environmental conditions.
