Cytological and molecular description of Hamiltosporidium tvaerminnensis gen. et sp. nov., a microsporidian parasite of Daphnia magna, and establishment of Hamiltosporidium magnivora comb. nov. [PDF]
We describe the new microsporidium Hamiltosporidium tvaerminnensis gen. et sp. nov. with an emphasis on its ultrastructural characteristics and phylogenetic position as inferred from the sequence data of SSU rDNA, alpha-and beta-tubulin.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the water flea Daphnia magna (Cladocera, Daphniidae)
The complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced from the KIT strain of the freshwater water flea (Daphnia magna). The sequenced genome size was 15,253 bp long, possessing identical gene order and contents to those of the congeneric species Daphnia ...

Toxicity of cerium and thorium on Daphnia magna
Cerium (Ce) and thorium (Th) are always thought to be chemically similar and have comparable toxic properties on living organisms. In the present study, the acute and chronic toxicity of these two elements to freshwater crustacean Daphnia magna were investigated in the modified reconstituted water (6mg/L KCl, 123mg/L MgSO4·7H2O, and 294mg/L CaCl2·2H2O ...

The study of feeding parameters of Beluga (Huso huso) larvae fed with Artemia nauplii and Daphnia [PDF]
Beluga (Huso huso) larvae with average body weight of 30.43 ± 1.25 mg and density of 2 fish per liter having three replicates (100 fish per tank) were fed on the 30 percentage of body weight in a day during 15 days using Daphnia magna, Artemia urmiana ...

CRISPR/Cas-mediated targeted mutagenesis in Daphnia magna.
The water flea Daphnia magna has been used as an animal model in ecology, evolution, and environmental sciences. Thanks to the recent progress in Daphnia genomics, genetic information such as the draft genome sequence and expressed sequence tags (ESTs ...

Small RNA Sequencing Based Identification of MiRNAs in Daphnia magna. [PDF]
Small RNA molecules are short, non-coding RNAs identified for their crucial role in post-transcriptional regulation. A well-studied example includes miRNAs (microRNAs) which have been identified in several model organisms including the freshwater flea ...

No evidence for genetic sex determination in
Mechanisms of sex determination (SD) differ widely across the tree of life. In genotypic sex determination (GSD), genetic elements determine whether individuals are male or female, while in environmental sex determination (ESD), external cues control the

Daphnia magna, a Host for Evaluation of Bacterial Virulence [PDF]
ABSTRACT We show that Daphnia magna can be used to assess acute virulence of pathogens relevant to human health, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Photorhabdus asymbiotica . Analysis of bacterial mutants suggests that P.
