Molecular Ecology, 2020 AbstractThe microcrustaceanDaphniais arguably one of the most studied zooplankton species, having a well understood ecology, life history, and a relatively well studied evolutionary history. Despite this wealth of knowledge, species boundaries within closely related species in this genus often remain elusive and the major evolutionary forces driving ...

Evaluation of the pollution pressures posed by groups of chemicals on British riverine invertebrate populations. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT Globally, rivers receive a diverse range of chemicals, including metals, pesticides, persistent organic pollutants, petrochemicals, human and veterinary pharmaceuticals and personal care products. However, the extent to which these different chemical groups affect riverine invertebrate communities is not well defined.

Visibility as a factor in the copepod-planktivorous fish relationship
Scientia Marina, 2005 The question we treat in this contribution is whether or not planktivorous fish can use the motion pattern of planktonic copepods to distinguish these animals from other suspended particles in the water.

Experimental evolution reveals high insecticide tolerance in Daphnia inhabiting farmland ponds [PDF]
, 2015 Exposure of nontarget populations to agricultural chemicals is an important aspect of global change. We quantified the capacity of natural Daphnia magna populations to locally adapt to insecticide exposure through a selection experiment involving ...

Nocardioides daphniae sp. nov., isolated from Daphnia cucullata (Crustacea: Cladocera) [PDF]
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SYSTEMATIC AND EVOLUTIONARY MICROBIOLOGY, 2008 A Gram-positive, rod-shaped or coccoid, yellow-pigmented bacterial strain, D287(T), was isolated from the water flea Daphnia cucullata (Crustacea: Cladocera) collected from Lake Balaton in Hungary. Phylogenetic analysis on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons revealed that the strain represented a distinct lineage within the cluster of the ...

Food quantity and quality shapes reproductive strategies of Daphnia
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 In freshwater environments, one of the challenges aquatic grazers face are periods of suboptimal food quantity and quality. In a life table experiment, the effects of food quantity (a gradient of algae concentration) and quality (a diet of cyanobacteria)

Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2022 AbstractGenetic variants of mitochondrial DNA at the individual (heteroplasmy) and population (polymorphism) levels provide insight into their roles in multiple cellular and evolutionary processes. However, owing to the paucity of genome-wide data at the within-individual and population levels, the broad patterns of these two forms of variation remain ...
