Eco-evolutionary feedback to a pesticide worsens the impact of a pesticide switch in a pivotal freshwater non-target species

Rafaela A. Almeida, Maxime Fajgenblat, Pieter Lemmens…·Luc De Meester

The paper shows that exposure to chlorpyrifos in Daphnia magna leads to rapid evolutionary changes that worsen the impact of subsequent pesticide exposure.

Rapid temporal adaptation structures tolerance to toxic cyanobacteria in a natural population of the water flea Daphnia.

Maxime Fajgenblat, Emma Gouwy, Manon Coone…·Ellen Decaestecker

The paper tests whether Daphnia magna can adapt within a growing season to changes in Microcystis strains, finding higher survival when exposed to strains from the same time point.
