Population Differentiation In Daphnia Alters Community Assembly In Experimental Ponds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Most studies of community assembly ignore how genetic differentiation within species affects their colonization and extinction. However, genetic differentiation in ecologically relevant traits may be substantial enough to alter the colonization and ...

Visibility as a factor in the copepod-planktivorous fish relationship

open access: yesScientia 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.

Nocardioides daphniae sp. nov., isolated from Daphnia cucullata (Crustacea: Cladocera) [PDF]

open access: yesINTERNATIONAL 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 ...

Multiple Screening of Pesticides Toxicity in Zebrafish and Daphnia Based on Locomotor Activity Alterations

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
Pesticides are widely used to eradicate insects, weed species, and fungi in agriculture. The half-lives of some pesticides are relatively long and may have the dire potential to induce adverse effects when released into the soil, terrestrial and aquatic ...

Experimental evolution reveals high insecticide tolerance in Daphnia inhabiting farmland ponds [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

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

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).

Genetic Diversity, Heteroplasmy, and Recombination in Mitochondrial Genomes ofDaphnia pulex,Daphnia pulicaria, andDaphnia obtusa

open access: yesMolecular 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 ...
