Chemical toxicity of microplastics is stronger than particle effects in D. magna

This study shows that chemical composition of microplastics, rather than physical properties, drives toxicity in D. magna, with varying effects on body length and reproduction.

Microplastics Disrupt Predator-Induced Plasticity in Daphnia across Behavioral, Morphological and Molecular Levels

This study shows microplastics impair predator-induced defenses in Daphnia across behavioral, morphological, and molecular levels by disrupting kairomone-mediated plasticity.

Phosphoproteomics in Daphnia magna as a tool to decipher molecular mechanisms in ecotoxicological studies

This study presents a phosphoproteomic workflow for Daphnia magna to investigate molecular effects of pollution, identifying 3,532 phosphorylation sites across 1,329 phosphoproteins.
