Daphnia in the biology lab

Daphnia: Environmental responses

I've really not gotten to this... at all. I hope to make it a table-of-tables, each with resources for a topic/lab.

Item	Lab investigation	Brief description	Resources
1a	Source	They sound like they're easy to get... I used Carolina Biological	Organisms, supplies, info
5	O2 response	When O2-deprived, Daphnia produce more hemoglobin (better storage)	Awesome doc by Anne Deken
10	Predator response	Daphnia lumholtzi 'armor up'... and do so differently in response to different threats. The Chem. Senses article suggests that homogenized Daphnia will trigger a response... after a delay (and used D. galeata, which may be essentially the readily available D. pulea; magnex might work as well? NOTE!! this is not the species from Carolina; trick might not work	Scientific American article Journal article (Chem. Senses) Book chapter (paywall)
