We synthesized data from 66 published laboratory studies, representing 597 experimental
comparisons, examining the effects of cyanobacterial toxicity and morphology on the …

In view of its fundamental and pervasive influences and impacts on organism physiology
and ecology, body size is recognized as a key component of evolutionary fitness and serves …

1. This paper summarizes the salient features of the contributions to the workshop on The
Role of Food Quality for Zooplankton. In this paper we attempt critically to evaluate our …

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 …

Cryptophytes are flagellated, eukaryotic phytoplankton found in environments ranging from
tea-colored ponds to the blue-water open ocean. Cryptophytes vary in color from green to …

The underwater light field of lakes, estuaries, and oceans may vary greatly in spectral
composition. Phytoplankton in these environments must contain pigments that absorb the …

Hong Kong rocky shores are dominated by cyanobacterial biofilms composed of a diversity
of species. Thirteen common species, belonging to seven genera, were isolated in pure …

The role of stoichiometric food quality in influencing genotype coexistence and competitive
interactions between clones of the freshwater microcrustacean, Daphnia pulex, was …

Oscillatoria spp. are generally very abundant in many shallow, eutrophic lakes in the
Netherlands. However, this is less true for Daphnia galeata. The main aim of this study was …

Resting eggs are a fundamental reproductive strategy among freshwater cladocerans.
Under adverse environmental conditions, whole Daphnia populations can disappear from a …
