Host specificity and genetics of host resistance in the "Daphnia-Pasteuria" host-parasite system [PDF]
, 2012 Antagonistic coevolution plays an important role in a large number of evolutionary and ecological phenomena. Furthermore, according to the Red Queen Theory coevolution between hosts and their parasites may explain the maintenance of sexual reproduction ...

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

Desiccation of rock pool habitats and its influence onpopulation persistence in a Daphnia metacommunity [PDF]
, 2009 Habitat instability has an important influence on species' occurrence and community composition. For freshwater arthropods that occur in ephemeral rock pools, the most drastic habitat instabilities are droughts and the intermittent availability of water.

Identifying hybridizing taxa within the Daphnia longispina species complex: a comparison of genetic methods and phenotypic approaches [PDF]
, 2010 Daphnia galeata Sars, D. longispina O. F. Muller and D. cucullata Sars (Crustacea: Cladocera) are closely related species which often produce interspecific hybrids in natural populations.

Sensory Ecology of Predator-Induced Phenotypic Plasticity
Frontiers 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
Environmental 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.

Daphnia metacommunity dynamics : the roles of inbreeding, parasitism, competition, and dispersal [PDF]
, 2011 The habitats of many species are not continuous but fragmented, either naturally or increasingly due to human land use. Communities of species inhabiting fragmented habitat patches are connected by dispersal and form a metacommunity, a spatial overlay of

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)
