Activation of the Ephippial Egg of Daphnia pulex
The ephippial eggs of Daphnia pulex require light for the initiation of development. The ephippial capsule prevents the completion of development but is not a barrier to an adequate light stimulus. Working with decapsulated eggs, the response to light increased to 100 % within 9 days of storage in the dark and remained at 100% for up to 60 days of storage in the dark. The response was not depen...
متن کاملPopulation Genomics of Daphnia pulex.
Using data from 83 isolates from a single population, the population genomics of the microcrustacean Daphnia pulex are described and compared to current knowledge for the only other well-studied invertebrate, Drosophila melanogaster These two species are quite similar with respect to effective population sizes and mutation rates, although some features of recombination appear to be different, w...
متن کاملThe ecoresponsive genome of Daphnia pulex.
We describe the draft genome of the microcrustacean Daphnia pulex, which is only 200 megabases and contains at least 30,907 genes. The high gene count is a consequence of an elevated rate of gene duplication resulting in tandem gene clusters. More than a third of Daphnia's genes have no detectable homologs in any other available proteome, and the most amplified gene families are specific to the...
متن کاملEye movements in Daphnia pulex (De Geer).
1. The various types of eye movement exhibited by the cyclopean eye of Daphnia pulex were studied using high speed motion photography. 2. This rudimentary eye, which consists of only 22 ommatidia, can move through approximately 150 degrees in the sagittal plane and 60 degrees in the horizontal plane. 3. Four classes of eye movement were found: (1) a high speed tremor at 16 Hz with an amplitude ...
متن کاملThe Covariance Structure of Life-history Characters in Daphnia Pulex.
The genetic covariance structure for life-history characters in two populations of cyclically parthenogenetic Daphnia pulex indicates considerable positive correlation among important fitness components, apparently at odds with the expectation if antagonistic pleiotropy is the dominant cause of the maintanence of genetic variation. Although there is no genetic correlation between offspring size...
