CHANGE IN PHENOTYPIC PLASTICITY OF A MORPHOLOGICAL DEFENCE IN DAPHNIA GALEATA (CRUSTACEA: CLADOCERA) IN A SELECTION EXPERIMENT

Change in phenotypic plasticity of a morphological defence in Daphnia galeata (Crustacea: Cladocera) in a selection experiment

Some water fleas Daphnia change their head morphology to reduce predation risk in response to chemical substances (kairomones) released from larvae of the invertebrate predator Chaoborus (Insecta: Diptera).We tested for evidence of the costs associated with elongation of the head spine in Daphnia galeata and the consequences of these costs on the i
