Once populations of Daphnia and Bosmina plummeted, the shrimp shifted their diet to a different type of zooplankton, called copepods.

After the work on calanoid copepod resting eggs that can survive for 300 years (ref. 4), studies on egg banks (analogous to seed banks) focused on Daphnia 5, 6. Understanding the dynamics of the ...

Researchers have sequenced the genome of the common water flea, Daphnia, shown in this false-color micrograph. About 35 percent of the genes are brand new to science.

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 ...

Once populations of Daphnia and Bosmina plummeted, the shrimp shifted their diet to a different type of zooplankton, called copepods.

Researchers have completed a new and improved genome sequence of Daphnia pulex (D. pulex), providing a clearer roadmap of the organism's genome so they can identify the genes and pathways that ...

The common water flea - Daphnia pulex - is the first crustacean to have a blueprint made showing the sequence of chemicals that make up genetic code, or genome.
