Change in phenotypic plasticity of a morphological defence in Daphnia galeata (Crustacea: Cladocera) in a selection experiment

Some water fleas Daphnia change their head morphology to reduce predation risk in response to chemical substances (kairomones) released from larvae of the shamrock belt buckle invertebrate predator Chaoborus (Insecta: Diptera).We tested for evidence of the costs associated with elongation of the head spine in Daphnia galeata and the consequences of
