The survival and reproductive performance of Daphniopsis australis (Cladocera: Daphniidae) in response to temperature changes / Hasnun Nita Ismail, Jian Guang Qin and Laurent Seuront
The thermal tolerances and reproduction of Daphniopsis australis were investigated using a single clone under laboratory conditions. Based on survivorship, measurements of thermal tolerance were conducted using acute exposure within 24, 48 and 72 hours. The upper limit of tolerance was at 28°C, bu...

A minimum temperature increment of 6°C above the control temperature (22°C) was detrimental to survival while the optimal temperature of this species was detected from 4 to 26°C.
