Local adaptation of Daphnia pulicaria to toxic cyanobacteria
We quantified within-species variation in the tolerance of the large, lake-dwelling daphnid, Daphnia pulicaria, to toxic cyanobacteria in the diet. Juvenile growth rates on diets consisting of 100% Ankistrodesmus falcatus (a nutritious green alga) or 100% Microcystis aeruginosa (toxic) were compared for D. pulicaria clones isolated from lakes expected to have low and high levels of bloom-formin...
متن کاملAdaptation to local ultraviolet radiation conditions among neighbouring Daphnia populations.
Understanding the historical processes that generated current patterns of phenotypic diversity in nature is particularly challenging in subdivided populations. Populations often exhibit heritable genetic differences that correlate with environmental variables, but the non-independence among neighbouring populations complicates statistical inference of adaptation. To understand the relative infl...
متن کاملInfluence of food quality on depth selection of Daphnia pulicaria
We studied the habitat choice of juvenile and adult Daphnia pulicaria in thermally stratified water columns (plankton towers) with a deep water algal maximum (DCM). The DCM consisted of either filamentous cyanobacteria (Planktothrix agardhii), non-filamentous Chlorophyceae (Scenedesmus obliquus) or a mixture of both. Adult D. pulicaria spent more time at colder temperatures in the presence of P...
متن کاملToxic Picoplanktonic Cyanobacteria—Review
Cyanobacteria of a picoplanktonic cell size (0.2 to 2.0 µm) are common organisms of both freshwater and marine ecosystems. However, due to their small size and relatively short study history, picoplanktonic cyanobacteria, in contrast to the microplanktonic cyanobacteria, still remains a poorly studied fraction of plankton. So far, only little information on picocyanobacteria toxicity has been r...
متن کاملDo high concentrations of microcystin prevent Daphnia control of phytoplankton?
Toxin-producing cyanobacteria have frequently been hypothesized to limit the ability of herbivorous zooplankton (such as Daphnia) to control phytoplankton biomass by inhibiting feeding, and in extreme cases, causing zooplankton mortality. Using limnocorral experiments in hyper-eutrophic ponds located in Alabama and Michigan (U.S.A.), we tested the hypothesis that high levels of cyanobacteria an...
