Morphological variation and life history changes of a Daphnia hyalina population exposed to Chaoborus flavicans larvae predation (L. Candia, Northern Italy)

The response of Daphnia populations to invertebrate predators involves morphological changes and can lead to a trade-off between growth- and reproduction-related traits. The effects of Chaoborus flavicans larvae on the Daphnia hyalina population in Lake Candia were investigated by comparing the morp...
