Daphnia magna
The cellular architecture of the Daphnia compound eye visual system was studied by using computer-aided techniques. All the neurons in one half of the bilaterally symmetric optic ganglion (OG) were reconstructed in three dimensions from serial electron micrographs. The techniques employed were those developed by Levinthal and collaborators (Macagno, Levinthal, and Sobel, Ann. Rev. Biophys. Bioe...
متن کاملGenes mirror geography in Daphnia magna.
Identifying the presence and magnitude of population genetic structure remains a major consideration in evolutionary biology as doing so allows one to understand the demographic history of a species as well as make predictions of how the evolutionary process will proceed. Next-generation sequencing methods allow us to reconsider previous ideas and conclusions concerning the distribution of gene...
متن کاملFood quality of heterotrophic bacteria for Daphnia magna: evidence for a limitation by sterols.
The quality of heterotrophic bacteria as food for metazoan grazers has been investigated poorly. We conducted growth experiments with juvenile Daphnia magna feeding on different strains of heterotrophic bacteria that represent typical pelagic bacteria of five phylogenetically distinct groups. The bacterial food suspensions were supplemented with cholesterol and/or the polyunsaturated fatty acid...
متن کاملInheritance during parthenogenesis in Daphnia magna.
Natural populations of Daphnia magna have been found which are polymorphic for electrophoretic variants of supernatant malic dehydrogenase, esterase, and alkaline phosphatase. Using these enzyme variants as genetic markers it has been possible to demonstrate the absence of recombination during parthenogenetic reproduction. Genetic uniformity is expected within parthenogenetic clones derived fro...
متن کاملEffect of nutrient limitation of cyanobacteria on protease inhibitor production and fitness of Daphnia magna.
Herbivore-plant interactions have been well studied in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems as they are crucial for the trophic transfer of energy and matter. In nutrient-rich freshwater ecosystems, the interaction between primary producers and herbivores is to a large extent represented by Daphnia and cyanobacteria. The occurrence of cyanobacterial blooms in lakes and ponds has, at least pa...
