Sediment underneath charophyte meadows is enriched in viable ephippia and enhances the benthic periphytic biofilm
We contribute to the knowledge of charophyte meadows as key components of aquatic systems by analysing how they affect wetland sediments. We...

Water Fleas, Matriarchy, and a Parasite Named Like a German Sausage
Cladocerans, commonly known as water fleas, dominate the planktonic crustacean population in freshwater environments, with the genus Daphnia being...

Establishment success of alien Daphnia in the ancient Lake Biwa: insights from sedimentary archives
Invasive species pose serious threats to global biodiversity, prompting studies to identify factors underlying invasion and establishment success....

Long-term changes in morphological traits of Daphnia pulex in Lake Fukami-ike, Japan
How a population adapts to environmental changes is a central topic in ecology, but long-term changes in the phenotype of an organism have rarely...

Interspecific variation in ephippial size between Daphnia galeata and D. pulicaria in Lake Biwa, Japan
Daphnia , keystone herbivores in lakes, routinely produce immediately hatching eggs; additionally, they also produce resting eggs enveloped by an...

Maternally derived variation in the early termination of dormancy in Daphnia pulex
The timing and duration of dormancy can be influenced by many environmental cues, such as changes in light and temperature. This study examined the...

Epidemics in native species influence the outcome of a species invasion
Invasive species can have large effects on native communities. When native and invasive species share parasites, an epidemic in a native species...

Predicting distribution and establishment of two invasive alien Daphnia species in diverse lakes in New Zealand-Aotearoa
The freshwater zooplankton of New Zealand-Aotearoa are species-poor with only two indigenous Daphnia species: D. thomsoni, and D. tewaipounamu . Over...

Sex in crowded places: population density regulates reproductive strategy
Changing reproductive strategy from investment in current (asexual eggs) to future (sexual ephippia) reproduction depending on environmental cues is...

Crustacea (Branchiopoda) among Organic Remains from Mammoth Hair
Abstract —The purpose of this study is to analyze the taxonomic composition of the branchiopod crustaceans (Crustacea: Branchiopoda) from the...

The limits of stress-tolerance for zooplankton resting stages in freshwater ponds
In seasonal environments, many organisms evolve strategies such as diapause to survive stressful periods. Understanding the link between habitat...

Dispersal of aquatic invertebrates by lesser black-backed gulls and white storks within and between inland habitats
Waterbirds can transport aquatic invertebrates internally, contributing to metapopulation dynamics between aquatic habitats in a terrestrial matrix....
-
Sexual recombination and temporal gene flow maintain host resistance and genetic diversity
Infectious disease can threaten host populations. Hosts can rapidly evolve resistance during epidemics, with this evolution often modulated by...

Pampa Plain (Argentina) Wetland History through a Lake Case Study: Kakel Huincul Environmental History during the Last 600 Years
Kakel Huincul lake is located in one of the main wetlands of Argentina. A multi-indicator analysis, including pollen, non-pollen palynomorphs and...

A New Glance at Old Samples: Remains of Freshwater Invertebrates Associated with Mummified Carcasses of Large Quaternary Mammals
Abstract —Carcasses of mammals with well-preserved soft tissues from the permafrost of Siberia and northern North America are among the most important...

Effect of habitat permanence on life-history: extending the Daphnia model into new climate spaces
We use an Australian freshwater invertebrate species, Daphnia carinata, to assess whether variation in habitat permanence influences life-history...

Findings of Longfin Baikal Sculpin Cottocomephorus inermis (Yakovlev, 1890) and Baikal Yellowfin C. grewingkii (Dybowski, 1874) in the Downstream Pool of the Boguchanskaya Hydroelectric Power Station
AbstractWe present information on the findings of Baikal endemic species, the longfin Baikal sculpin Cottocomephorus inermis (Yakovlev, 1890) and...

The power of numbers: dynamics of hatching and dormant egg production in two populations of the water flea Daphnia magna
Many organisms that live in inland standing waters produce dormant life stages that can accumulate in propagule banks to survive temporarily...

Salinity sensitivity of Moina macrocopa post-diapause females hatched from resting eggs of different ages
Worldwide freshwater salinization may significantly alter ecosystem functioning and affect biodiversity. We studied the effect of salinity on...

RNA-seq analysis to identify genes related to resting egg production of panarctic Daphnia pulex
BackgroundThe genus Daphnia switches its reproductive mode from subitaneous egg production to resting egg production in response to environmental...
