The paper tests how microbiome composition affects host survival in Daphnia magna infected with a fungal parasite, finding genotype- and life-stage-dependent effects.

The paper tests whether Daphnia magna can adapt within a growing season to changes in Microcystis strains, finding higher survival when exposed to strains from the same time point.

This study examines how microplastics affect Daphnia-associated microbiomes in urban and natural freshwater environments, finding changes in community composition and functional traits linked to MP levels.

This study examines how co-occurrence of Daphnia species affects their gut microbiome, finding subtle changes in microbiome composition when grown in cocultures.
