Acute toxicity experiments with purified toxins show that four species of zooplankton differ markedly in their physiological sensitivity to cyclic peptide hepatotoxins from Microcystis aeruginosa ...

LAKE TAHOE – At midnight, researchers aboard the vessel John Le Conte — an old 37-foot diesel-powered salmon trawler — dropped a net into icy cold waters. What was surprising wasn’t what they caught.

Once populations of Daphnia and Bosmina plummeted, the shrimp shifted their diet to a different type of zooplankton, called copepods. And those copepods are dying from fungal infections, the lab ...

Today marks the long-awaited release of the Daphnia pulex genome, published today in Science. Why is this such a momentous occasion? Well first of all, there are four people from my lab whose names ...

For many, experience with Daphnia, commonly known as water fleas, ends in high school. The organism is often used for science experiments exploring water toxicity, because of its sensitivity to ...

Human actions are changing the environment at an unprecedented rate. Plant and animal populations must try to keep up with these human-accelerated changes, often by trying to rapidly evolve tolerance ...

From a human perspective, the clear, calm waters of Michigan’s lakes — surrounded by trees, filled with fish, reflecting the sky — could hardly be more peaceful. For the tiny critters below the ...

Imagine a creature that can grow its own spear and helmet when threatened by an attacker. It sounds like fiction, but it's true. And now, researchers have sequenced the 200 million letters of DNA that ...
