    Ideal free distribution in Daphnia? Are daphnids able to consider both the food patch quality and the position of competitors?

    The distribution of the planktonic crustacean Daphnia pulex was tested in a ring-formed flow-through chamber divided into eleven sections. The distribution of the animals under both homogeneous food conditions an...

    Intraspecific variability in response to stimuli for male and ephippia formation in Daphnia pulex

    Natural clones and clones from laboratory crossings of Daphnia pulex have been tested in their response to stimuli for male and ephippia formation. The clones are from ponds in Illinois, USA, an area with both ob...
