Prey body size mediates the predation risk associated with being "odd" [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Despite selection pressures on prey animals to maintain phenotypically homogeneous groups, variation in phenotype within animal groups is commonly observed.

Annotation of the Daphnia magna nuclear receptors: Comparison to Daphnia pulex [PDF]

open access: yesGene, 2014
Most nuclear receptors (NRs) are ligand-dependent transcription factors crucial in homeostatic physiological responses or environmental responses. We annotated the Daphnia magna NRs and compared them to Daphnia pulex and other species, primarily through phylogenetic analysis. Daphnia species contain 26 NRs spanning all seven gene subfamilies.

Apprendre à voir, apprendre à dire

open access: yesArts et Savoirs, 2017
The emergence of a microscopic science in the 18th century was marked by an attempt to standardize the methods of observation and also of description. How can these methods be shared?

Introducing of the methods of pollutants detecting and species used as experiment organisms in testing laboratories (ro) [PDF]

open access: yesMedicamentul Veterinar, 2012
Zebrafish are vertebrate animals often used in research for wastewaters, environment chemicals, cancer and diabetes drugs due to their speed and ease for handling and obtaining test results.

Sensory Ecology of Predator-Induced Phenotypic Plasticity

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2019
Ecological communities are organized in trophic levels that share manifold interactions forming complex food webs. Infochemicals can further modify these interactions, e.g., by inducing defenses in prey. The micro-crustacean Daphnia is able to respond to

Environmental DNA tracks zooplankton population dynamics in experimental mesocosms

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, 2023
Environmental DNA (eDNA) holds notable potential for biomonitoring and ecological research. However, its utility for quantifying temporal changes in abundance, biomass, and diversity remains contentious.

Inference of Historical Population-Size Changes with Allele-Frequency Data

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020
With up to millions of nearly neutral polymorphisms now being routinely sampled in population-genomic surveys, it is possible to estimate the site-frequency spectrum of such sites with high precision.

Clouds, shadows, or twilight? Mayfly nymphs recognise the difference [PDF]

open access: yes, 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).

Dispersion and sedimentation of titanium dioxide nanoparticles in freshwater algae and daphnia aquatic culture media in the presence of arsenate

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Nanoscience, 2018
Little information is available on Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nTiO2) behavior in different culture media for aquatic organisms. This study aimed to accurately evaluate nTiO2 dispersion and sedimentation in common freshwater algae (BG-11) and daphnia
