Evolution of asexual Daphnia pulex in Japan: variations and covariations of the digestive, morphological and life history traits

Abstract Background Several genetic lineages of obligate parthenogenetic Daphnia pulex, a common zooplankton species, have invaded Japan from North America. Among these, a lineage named JPN1 is thought to have started colonization as a single genotype several hundred to thousand years ago and subseq...
