Population dynamics of the pioneer population of Daphnia parvula, Fordyce during the invasion of Lake Candia (Northern Italy)

open access: yesJournal of Limnology, 2004
Since the 1970s Daphnia parvula, Fordyce, originally distributed in the New World, has been invading Europe. In Italy D. parvula first appeared in the shallow, eutrophic Lake Candia (Piedmont, Northern Italy) during September 2002.

Predation on microcrustaceans in evidence: the role of chaoborid larvae and fish in two shallow and small Neotropical reservoirs

open access: yesNauplius
This study was focused on the predation upon microcrustaceans by an invertebrate predator (chaoborid larvae), and vertebrate predators (fish), in two small reservoirs in southeastern Brazil, with and without macrophytes, in two climatic periods (dry and ...

Target gene approaches: Gene expression in Daphnia magna exposed to predator-borne kairomones or to microcystin-producing and microcystin-free Microcystis aeruginosa

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2009
Background Two major biological stressors of freshwater zooplankton of the genus Daphnia are predation and fluctuations in food quality. Here we use kairomones released from a planktivorous fish (Leucaspius delineatus) and from an invertebrate predator ...

Influence of fish kairomones on the ovipositing behavior of Chaoborus imagines [PDF]

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, 1999
The phantom midge, Chaoborus, is a dipteran, the larvae of which occur in many freshwater habitats and are known to be vulnerable to predation by fish. The hypothesis was tested that ovipositing imagines of Chaoborus use chemical cues to detect predatory fish and avoid depositing eggs into waterbodies containing fish kairomones.

Diel vertical migration of copepods in a Brazilian lake: a mechanism for decreasing risk of Chaoborus predation?

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology
A comparison between two studies on diel vertical migration of two cyclopoid copepod species, in Lake Monte Alegre, undertaken in 1985/86 and 1999, revealed a change in their migratory behavior.

Fate of Planktothrix-derived toxins in aquatic food webs: A case study in Lake Mindelsee (Germany)

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Blooms of the red, filamentous cyanobacterium Planktothrix rubescens occur frequently in pre-alpine lakes in Europe, often with concomitant toxic microcystin (MC) production.

Influence de la densité initiale de larves de brochet (Esox lucius L., 1758) en élevage intensif sur la survie, la croissance et la consommation journalière de nourriture (zooplancton, Chaoboridés)

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 1996
Vingt mille larves de brochet (Esox lucius, L.) ont été élevées 35 jours en bac, avec une nourriture vivante (zooplancton et larves de Chaoboridés, Diptères) collectée en lagune d'épuration. Le but de cette expérience était de connaître l'influence de la

Chaoborus Punctipennis and Chaoborus Albatus: Influences of Fish Communities and Abiotic Factors

open access: yes
Chaoborus punctipennis Say and Chaoborus albatus Johnson are phantom midges with coexisting small transparent aquatic larvae that exhibit daily vertical migrations and occur in lakes with fish. We hypothesized that these species differ in their habitat preference as suggested by the principle of competitive exclusion and that fish predation affects ...

Permafrost thaw lakes and ponds as habitats for abundant rotifer populations

open access: yesArctic Science, 2018
Thermokarst lakes and ponds were sampled across a range of permafrost landscapes in subarctic Québec (Nunavik, Canada) to compare their rotifer and other zooplankton characteristics with a set of rock-basin lakes and ponds in the region.
