Long-term temperature acclimation in Daphnia magna: effects on filtering rates
Department of Biology, Imperial College Silwood Park, Ascot, Berks. SL5 7PY, UK
Received on September 10, 1994; accepted on January 16, 1994 Populations of a laboratoiy clone of Daphnia magna were acclimated at 5, 10, 15 and 24°C, and a varying temperature regin for a minimum of 70 days. The effect of temperature (525°C) on filtering rates was measured for animals acclimated to the constant temperatures and for a wild population collected from a reservoir. Acclimation temperature strongly influenced ffltcrmg rates at test temperatures. Animals with acclimation temperatures closest to the test temperature tended to have highest filtering rates at that temperature.
