A Non-Stressful Temperature Rise and Greater Food Availability Could Increase Tolerance to Calcium Limitation of Daphnia cf. pulex (Sensu Hebert, 1995) Populations in Cold Soft-Water Lakes
Abstract:Calcium (Ca) is an important driver of community structure in freshwaters. We examined the combined effects of increased temperatures and variations in food quantity on the tolerance to low Ca of Daphnia pulex. The aim was to predict the impact of climate warming on this keystone zooplanktonic species in cold-climate lakes. We conducted a factorial life-history experiment in a clone of North American Daphnia cf. pulex to analyse the interaction effects of a temperature increase (17.5 °C–21 °C) within their phy… Show more
“…In vitro experiments with clones of Daphnia cf. pulex from Borreguil Lake in the Sierra Nevada agree well with our in-sediment measurements and found significantly larger body size at higher temperatures (Ramos-Rodríguez et al, 2022). As the preferred temperature range for D. cf.…”
