Variación en las características del ciclo de vida en individuos de Daphnia magna, provenientes de diferentes camadas

Abstract

Daplmia magnas life-history traits (longevity, age at first reproduction, progeny produced and clutch size) were measured in individuals from diferents clutches. Firstclutches offspring presented larger clutches, more progeny and more longevity than those from later clutches. Such interclutch variation can does explain for maternal effects or for phenotypic plasticity.
