MORPHOLOGICAL VARIATION AND LIFE HISTORY CHANGES OF A DAPHNIA HYALINA POPULATION EXPOSED TO CHAOBORUS FLAVICANS LARVAE PREDATION (L. CANDIA, NORTHERN ITALY)

Morphological variation and life history changes of a Daphnia hyalina population exposed to Chaoborus flavicans larvae predation (L. Candia, Northern Italy)

The response of Daphnia populations to invertebrate predators involves morphological changes and can lead to a trade-off between growth- and reproduction-related traits.The effects of Chaoborus flavicans larvae on the Daphnia hyalina population in Lake Candia were investigated by comparing the morphometric characteristics and life history traits of
