Abstract excerpt
In populations of a cyclical parthenogen, the diversity of clonal lineages, derived from sexually produced eggs, declines during the parthenogenetic phase. Even though Daphnia magna populations from small ponds may harbour millions of individuals, we show that observed clonal and allelic diversity in populations from such small water bodies are lower than in populations from larger water bodies. Populations from...
