The genes of ants held center stage in the world of science a week ago, and now it's the genes of water fleas, those tiny shrimp-like critters whose living bodies have long served as sentinels to ...
Facing the Green Threat: A Water Flea’s Defenses against a Carnivorous Plant. International Journal of Molecular Sciences , 2022; 23 (12): 6474 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23126474 Cite This Page : ...
The tiny freshwater flea Daphnia pulex has nearly 31,000 genes, compared to our 23,000. The finding is part of a larger report published Thursday in the peer-reviewed journal Science by members of ...
Water fleas are masters of adaptation. Researchers from Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB), the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg and the Technical University of Darmstadt have discovered that they ...
A microscopic, see-through water flea is the most complex creature ever studied, genomically speaking. Daphnia pulex is the first crustacean to ever have its genome sequenced, and it turns out it ...
Hosts and their parasites are in constant competition. Through genetic diversity, the host can change in such a way that infection is no longer possible. However, the parasite adapts quickly—and the ...
It’s just a flea, no bigger than a speck. But it eats like a hog. That’s a problem because what the invasive spiny water flea from Europe and Asia likes to eat most is one of the coolest and ...
The flea's knees (and every other part of its anatomy): Stunning close-ups of see-through water insects . By DANIEL MILLER . Published: 09:57 EDT, 4 May 2013 | Updated: 11:52 EDT, 4 May 2013 ...
The genome of the water flea Daphnia pulex has been sequenced for the first time. Its DNA code contains the largest number of genes ever recorded for a multicellular animal, and could help boost ...
The spiny flea, USGS states on its website, "has caused major changes in the zooplankton community structure." Damage done? The water flea, distinguished by its barbed tail, has plied the Great ...
The spiny water flea was introduced in the 1980s and migrated into smaller lakes, eating algae-eating Daphnia and disrupting lake ecosystems. Content. Skip to Main Content Accessibility Help.
