Open AccessChallenges and opportunities in the use of ponds and pondscapes as Nature-based Solutions
Ponds and “pondscapes” (networks of ponds) are crucial habitats for biodiversity and for delivering multiple benefits to humans, so-called “Nature’s Contribution to People”, such as climate mitigation and adap...

Correction: Corrigendum: Rapid evolution of thermal tolerance in the water flea Daphnia
Nature Clim. Change 5, 665–668 (2015); published online 27 April 2015; corrected after print 3 September 2015 In the version of this Letter originally published, in Fig. 1a, the boxplot for the Ambient +4 °C t...

Rapid evolution of thermal tolerance in the water flea Daphnia
A manipulation experiment, combined with reconstructed evolutionary history from a dormant egg bank found in recent lake sediments, reveals that water fleas (Daphnia) can exhibit a rapid increase in their capacit...

Constitutive but no Triops-induced differences in bet-hedging strategies for hatching in Daphnia
Since cladocerans from the genus Daphnia are known to have evolved several inducible defenses (morphological and life history shifts) against the notostracan predator Triops, we investigated whether hatching was ...

Genetic detection of multiple exotic water frog species in Belgium illustrates the need for monitoring and immediate action
The recent genetic screening of water frogs (genus Pelophylax) in Belgium has shown that the invasion of two water frog species from Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean region, P. ridibundus and P. cf. bedriagae

The influence of plant-associated filter feeders on phytoplankton biomass: a mesocosm study
Low phytoplankton biomass usually occurs in the presence of submerged macrophytes, possibly because submerged macrophytes enhance top-down control of phytoplankton by offering a refuge for efficient grazers like

Habitat size and the genetic structure of a cyclical parthenogen, Daphnia magna
In populations of a cyclical parthenogen, the diversity of clonal lineages, derived from sexually produced eggs, declines during the parthenogenetic phase. Even though Daphnia magna populations from small ponds m...

Biodiversity in European Shallow Lakes: a Multilevel-Multifactorial Field Study
This chapter is based on the premise that the precipitous decline in freshwa- ter wetlands and species can only be arrested through conservation and sus- tainable management at a large scale, based on water (u...

Regional structuring of genetic variation in short-lived rock pool populations of Branchipodopsis wolfi (Crustacea: Anostraca)
The genetic structure of three metapopulations of the southern African anostracan Branchipodopsis wolfi was compared by analysing allozyme variation at four loci (PGM, GPI, APK, AAT). In total, 17 local populatio...

The influence of food quality on the phototactic behaviour of Daphnia magnaStraus
We examined the influence of food quality on the phototactic behaviour of Daphnia magna. Cohorts of a positively phototactic D. magna clone were fed nine diets differing in quality. Diets were obtained by subs...

Among-populational genetic differentiation in the cyclical parthenogen Daphnia magna (Crustacea, Anomopoda) and its relation to geographic distance and clonal diversity
Using allozyme data based on four polymorphic enzymeloci, we present an analysis of geneticdifferentiation among eight Daphnia magnapopulations, separated by less than 100 m to more than500 km from each other....

The change in phototactic behaviour of a Daphnia magna clone in the presence of fish kairomones: the effect of exposure time
Using a clone that responds to the presence of fishkairomones by a pronounced change in phototacticbehaviour, we determined how fast a change to morenegatively phototactic behaviour occurs in Daphnia magnaadul...
