This study identifies macrophyte establishment as the key factor driving cladoceran species richness build-up in newly created ponds over three years.

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

The paper shows that artificial light at night doubles the negative effect of a parasitic flatworm on Daphnia magna population abundance compared to dark conditions.

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.

This study examines how co-occurrence of Daphnia species affects their gut microbiome, finding subtle changes in microbiome composition when grown in cocultures.

This study investigates how dormant propagule banks influence eco-evolutionary dynamics in metacommunities by extending an individual-based model to include propagule banks and analyzing their effects on community assembly.

The paper examines local adaptation to salinity in Daphnia magna across two saline habitat clusters, finding regional and fine-scale adaptation differences.
