Abstract: The freshwater crustacean Daphnia is known for its ability to develop inducible morphological defences that thwart predators. These defences are developed only in the presence of predators and are realized as morphological shape alterations e.g.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0275526
Abstract: In sex determination of the crustacean Daphnia magna, male-specific expression of DM-domain transcription factor Doublesex1 (Dsx1) orchestrates the male developmental program triggered by environmental stimuli. We previously identified the CELF1 ortholog as a candidate of… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2022.881255
Abstract: The cladoceran crustacean Daphnia produces only females by parthenogenesis in a healthy population. However, in response to environmental declines such as crowding and lack of foods, it produces eggs destined to become males that are… read more here.
