Temporary pool inhabitants face altered inundation regimes under climate change. While
their exposure to these changes has received considerable attention, few studies have
investigated their sensitivity or adaptability. Here, we use zooplankton as a model to explore
how decreasing hydroperiods affect extinction risks and assess whether changes in life
history traits could promote persistence. For this, we construct a three-stage matrix
population model parameterised with realistic life-history values for the fairy shrimp …
