Behavioural interseasonal adaptations in Daphnia pulicaria (Crustacea: Cladocera) as induced by predation infochemicals
A wide range of chemical signals have been demonstrated to affect the swimming behaviour of Daphnia, including molecules associated with predation threat. In this contribution, we investigate how the concomitant ...
