Many prey organisms show adaptive trait shifts in response to predation. These responses
are often studied under benign conditions, yet energy stress may be expected to interfere …

The widespread increase of pesticides application in crops threats vicinal freshwater lentic
ecosystems, frequently leading to their contamination. Due to their position in the aquatic …

Food quality (eg the presence of cyanobacteria) may affect the behavior, morphology and
life history of cladocerans. However, little is known about how diet quality may affect the …

Studying the finely tuned mechanism of predation risk assessment allows for a better
understanding of how prey organisms make key decisions under different levels of predation …

The majority of general life‐history models treat the environment as being invariable through
time, even though temporal variation in selective agents could dramatically change the …

Increasing prevalence of wildlife disease accentuates the need to uncover drivers of
epidemics. Predators can directly influence disease prevalence via density-mediated effects …

The purpose of this study was to determine how zebra mussels affected cladoceran
community structure under eutrophic conditions. We conducted a mesocosm study where …

Prey usually benefit from the early recognition of potential predators by changing their
behaviour, morphology and life history. Some cladocerans even shift from the production of …

The Northern Clade of the fish genus Poeciliopsis includes six closely related species, three
of which lack placentas and three that have placentas but vary in the extent of post …

The combined effect of external environment and energy allocation strategy of the organism
on longevity can be exceptional. In a cold oligotrophic fishless habitat, individual Daphnia …
