Size‐selective predation accounts for intra‐ and inter‐specific variation of inducible morphological defense of Daphnia

Abstract Inducible defense is adaptive when prey organisms cope with fluctuations of predation risk, and there exists ample variations of inducible defense both within a species and between species even in a single habitat. Daphnia, a freshwater zooplankton genus, shows remarkable inducible morpholo...
