Abstract The objective of our study was to investigate sexual reproduction of Daphnia magna associated with mating behaviors and hatching rates, according to different algal food sources. Since a diatom is known to contain more abundant long‐chain poly unsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), we hypothesized that the diatom‐consuming D. magna would exhibit more successful reproduction rates. Upon the hypothesis, we designed three experiments using two algal species, a green alga (Chlorella vulgaris…

Effects of pollution on dormant-stage banks of cladocerans and rotifers in a large tropical reservoir
- Environmental ScienceEnvironmental Science and Pollution Research

The study indicates that the wastewater release in the reservoir can affect the production of dormant stages by cladocerans and rotifers, and that environmental pollution resulting from wastewater release and the cultivation of tilapia in cages is the most likely factor contributing to the higher values of egg density at this location.

The results support ranges of traditional trophic discrimination factor values observed in muscles samples of different taxa, but provide evidence that these traditionally used values may vary in other tissues, as it is found that in the hepatopancreas ∆15N is around 1.7‰.

Stable isotope analysis revealed significant assimilation of diatom-derived materials that was important for the growth of D. magna populations and individuals and is expected to help to further precisely examine the contribution of prey to predators or grazers in controlled experiments.
Sexual reproduction of Daphnia pulex in a temporary habitat

For D. pulex populations in a temporary environment, there appears to be an increased emphasis on sexual reproduction and a decreased influence of the environment on sex determination, compared to Daphnia populations in more permanent habitats.
Food quality triggers the reproductive mode in the cyclical parthenogen Daphnia (Cladocera)
- Environmental Science, BiologyOecologia

The results suggest that protein compounds should be added to the list of diet constituents potentially limiting or influencing Daphnia reproduction and show that the role of food quality goes far beyond the up to now documented effects ofFood quality on somatic growth and trophic transfer efficiency of herbivores: due to its effects on sexual reproduction and the production of resting eggs, food quality might influence genetic diversity and long-term persistence of Daphnian in lakes.
Single dietary amino acids control resting egg production and affect population growth of a key freshwater herbivore

It is suggested that the availability of single dietary amino acids potentially affects the seasonal dynamics and long-term persistence of Daphnia populations in the field, which may have consequences for the efficiency of carbon transfer and thus the trophic structure of freshwater food webs.

Sexual reproduction in Daphnia magna requires three stimuli

The factors inducing sexual eggs, as well as the offspring sex ratio preceding sexual egg formation, were investigated in a cyclic parthenogen, Daphnia magna (Crustacea, Cladocera), making it possible to separate the effects of two density-dependent factors: food limitation and a chemically mediated cue.
