“…Since the classic Daphnia study in which the term ''reaction norm'' was first formulated (Woltereck 1909), a plethora of Daphnia reaction norm data has been obtained, including those on plasticity of morphological characters (e.g. Jacobs 1987; Spitze and Sadler 1996;Boersma et al 1998;Tollrian and Heibl 2004;Spanier et al 2010;Miyakawa et al 2010), life-history traits (Lynch 1980;Spitze 1992;Ebert et al 1993;Yampolsky and Ebert 1994;Spitze and Sadler 1996;Boersma et al 1998;Weetman and Atkinson 2004;Latta et al 2007;Chopelet et al 2008;Beckerman et al 2010) and tolerance to pollutants (Coors et al 2004;Messiaen et al 2010), which Daphnia exhibit in response to a wide variety of environmental factors, from temperature and food availability to the presence of predators, parasites or pollutants.…”

Heat tolerance, temperature acclimation, acute oxidative damage and canalization of haemoglobin expression in Daphnia

Daphnia is a widespread freshwater zooplankton species, which is both a classic and emerging new model for research in ecological physiology, ecotoxicology and evolutionary biology of adaptation to novel environments. Heat tolerance in Daphnia is known to depend both upon evolutionary history of a genotype and on individuals' acclimation to elevated temperature and to correlate with the level of haemoglobin expression. We demonstrate the existence of north-south gradient of heat tolerance in North American D. pulex, which is not associated with any parallel changes in haemoglobin expression. Geographically distinct clones differ in the way their haemoglobin expression changes due to acclimation to a sub-stressful (28°C) temperature, but these changes are not correlated with the latitude of clones' origin. Likewise, the effect of acclimation to sub-stressful temperature is independent from, and cannot be fully explained by, haemoglobin expression changes during acclimation. The degree of oxidative damage to haemoglobin, measured as the ratio of absorbance at 540:576 nm at the acclimation temperature, is a strong predictor of 28°C-acclimated Daphnia survival during an acute heat exposure. The comparison of haemoglobin expression in resistant and tolerant clones acclimated to different temperatures indicates that tolerant clones exhibit canalization of haemoglobin expression, possessing a high level of haemoglobin even at non-stressful temperatures. We discuss the evolutionary biology of adaptation and acclimation to elevated temperatures in an ecologically important component of freshwater ecosystems in the context of global climate change.Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article (

“…In addition, none of these studies acclimated the test organisms to the different temperature treatments, although an acclimation period is necessary to restore homeostasis . In addition, interclonal variation of temperature effects on metal sensitivity has not been studied even though thermal tolerance differences and different sensitivities to metals have been reported among D. magna clones from a single population .…”

Few studies have considered the effect of temperature on the chronic sensitivity of Daphnia magna to other stressors. The present study investigated the effect of temperature on chronic metal toxicity and whether this effect differed among 4 different D. magna clones. Life table experiments were performed with copper, zinc, and nickel at 15 °C, 20 °C, and 25 °C. General linear modeling indicated that chronic Cu, Zn, and Ni toxicity to D. magna were all significantly affected by temperature. When averaged across clones, our results suggest that chronic metal toxicity to D. magna was higher at 15 °C than at 20 °C, which is the temperature used in standard toxicity tests. At 15 °C, the 21-d median effect concentrations (EC50s) of Cu, Zn, and Ni were 1.4 times, 1.1 times, and 1.3 times lower than at 20 °C, respectively. At 25 °C, chronic Cu and Zn toxicity did not change in comparison with 20 °C, but chronic Ni toxicity was lower (21-d EC50 of nickel at 25 °C was 1.6 times higher than at 20 °C). The same trends were observed for Cu and Ni when the 21-d 10% and 20% effect concentrations were considered as the effect estimator, but not for Zn, which warns against extrapolating temperature effects on chemical toxicity across effect sizes. Overall, however, chronic metal toxicity was generally highest at the lowest temperature investigated (15 °C), which is in contrast with the usually observed higher acute metal toxicity at higher temperatures. Furthermore, the effect of temperature on chronic Ni toxicity depended significantly on the clone. This warns against extrapolating results about effect of temperature on chemical toxicity from single clone studies to the population level. Environ Toxicol Chem 2017;36:1909-1916. © 2016 SETAC.

“…Forty‐two studies (21%) did not find statistical differences among treatments, regardless of the approach used. Only three studies (Dutilleul et al, ; Dutilleul et al, ; Dutilleul, Goussen, B., Bonzom, J.‐M., Galas, S. & Réale, ; Kelly, Padilla‐Gamiño, & Hofmann, ; Messiaen, De Schamphelaere, Muyssen, & Janssen, ; Messiaen, Janssen, Thas, & Schamphelaere, ; Messiaen, Janssen, De Meester, & De Schamphelaere, ) found evidence of a phenotypic response to pollution with an underlying advantageous genetic basis and also found the presence of a response to selection followed by a demographic response. These studies provided the most thorough insights on the adaptive potential of the studied organisms.…”

Adaptation to pollution has been studied since the first observations of heavy metal tolerance in plants decades ago. To document micro‐evolutionary responses to pollution, researchers have used phenotypic, molecular genetics, and demographic approaches. We reviewed 258 articles and evaluated the evidence for adaptive responses following exposure to a wide range of pollutants, across multiple taxonomic groups. We also conducted a meta‐analysis to calculate the magnitude of phenotypic change in invertebrates in response to metal pollution. The majority of studies that reported differences in responses to pollution were focused on phenotypic responses at the individual level. Most of the studies that used demographic assays in their investigations found that negative effects induced by pollution often worsened over multiple generations. Our meta‐analysis did not reveal a significant relationship between metal pollution intensity and changes in the traits studied, and this was probably due to differences in coping responses among different species, the broad array of abiotic and biotic factors, and the weak statistical power of the analysis. We found it difficult to make broad statements about how likely or how common adaptation is in the presence of environmental contamination. Ecological and evolutionary responses to contamination are complex, and difficult to interpret in the context of taxonomic, and methodological biases, and the inconsistent set of approaches that have been used to study adaptation to pollution in the laboratory and in the field. This review emphasizes the need for: (a) long‐term monitoring programs on exposed populations that link demography to phenotypic, genetic, and selection assays; (b) the use of standardized protocols across studies especially for similar taxa. Approaches that combine field and laboratory studies offer the greatest opportunity to reveal the complex eco‐evolutionary feedback that can occur under selection imposed by pollution.
