DOI: 10.1007/s10201-020-00646-8
Abstract: Daphnia, keystone herbivores in lakes, routinely produce immediately hatching eggs; additionally, they also produce resting eggs enveloped by an ephippial case, a thickened carapace that allows population survival under harsh environmental conditions. To examine differences… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0265632
Abstract: Mutations are the ultimate source of heritable variation and therefore the fuel for evolution, but direct estimates of mutation rates exist only for few species. We estimated the spontaneous single nucleotide mutation rate among clonal… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.1041011
Abstract: Daphnia galeata is a common and dominant species in warmer waters, and has a strong top-down effect on both phytoplankton and bacteria. The knowledge of its temporal and spatial patterns of genetic diversity is fundamental… read more here.
