Title: Anti‐predator Defence in Three Daphnia Species
Abstract: Abstract Over a two‐year period, each of the three Daphnia species in two lakes with different pressure by fish and invertebrate predators exhibited different defensive reactions: predator avoidance in space ( Daphnia hyalina ), seasonal morphological changes ( Daphnia cucullata ), and a combination of both ( Daphnia cristata ). Body size and general susceptibility to predation, combined with predators' preferences were most likely responsible for the kind of defence in each of the three Daphnia .
