Consumer-resource dynamics is an eco-evolutionary process in a natural plankton community
When traits affecting species interactions evolve rapidly, ecological dynamics can be altered while they occur. These eco-evolutionary dynamics have been documented repeatedly in laboratory and mesocosm experi...

Open AccessDaphnia galeata responds to the exposure to an ichthyosporean gut parasite by down-regulation of immunity and lipid metabolism
Regulatory circuits of infection in the emerging experimental model system, water flea Daphnia and their microparasites, remain largely unknown. Here we provide the first molecular insights into the response of D...

Temporary collapse of the Daphnia population in turbid and ultra-oligotrophic Lake Brienz
The cyclical parthenogen Daphnia is a key species in aquatic food webs. Its abundance is influenced by environmental factors like food quantity and quality, predation, diseases, temperature and washout by dischar...

Macroinvertebrate diversity in fragmented Alpine streams: implications for freshwater conservation
Lakes and reservoirs disrupt the longitudinal connectivity of streams, considerably affecting benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages and diversity. Changes in assemblage composition within fragments can result ...
