In recent years, the number of publications on nano-and microplastic particles (NMPs)
effects on freshwater organisms has increased rapidly. Freshwater crustaceans of the genus …

Microplastic particles are ubiquitous not only in marine but also in freshwater ecosystems.
However, the impacts of microplastics, consisting of a large variety of synthetic polymers, on …

In the past years, the research focus on the effects of MP on aquatic organisms extended
from marine systems towards freshwater systems. An important freshwater model organism …

Global warming and increased nutrient fluxes cause cyanobacterial blooms in freshwater
ecosystems. These phenomena have increased the concern for human health and …

Research has shown that a change in environmental conditions can alter the expression of
traits during development (ie,“within‐generation phenotypic plasticity”) as well as induce …

Many prey organisms adaptively respond to predation risk by inducible defenses with
underlying tradeoffs in resource allocation. Cyanobacterial blooms expose zooplankton to …

Individual traits responding to predation cues are widespread in many aquatic and terrestrial
organisms. However, linking individual traits to population dynamics in response to …

The present study aimed to elucidate the mechanisms of organismal sensitivity and/or
physiological adaptation in the contaminated water environment. Multigenerational cultures …

Understanding resource allocation strategies underlying inducible defense is a challenging
scientific issue, because of the difficulty in measuring resource allocations of defensive traits …

Species' ecological preferences are often deduced from habitat characteristics thought to
represent more or less optimal conditions for physiological functioning. Evolution has led to …
