DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9163
Abstract: Abstract In freshwater environments, one of the challenges aquatic grazers face are periods of suboptimal food quantity and quality. In a life table experiment, the effects of food quantity (a gradient of algae concentration) and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lno.12595
Abstract: Zooplankton displays different inducible defenses against invertebrate and vertebrate predators. The response pattern to gape‐limited invertebrate predators involves increased somatic growth and offspring body size but delayed maturity and reduced offspring numbers. In contrast to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10452-020-09809-2
Abstract: In aquatic systems, organisms largely rely on chemical cues to perceive information about the presence of predators or prey. Daphnia recognize the presence of the predatory larvae of Chaoborus via a chemical cue, emitted by… read more here.
