Abstract excerpt
This study investigated the effects of nonselective predation (culling) and metal toxicity on the genetic diversity of laboratory populations of the cladoceran Daphnia longispina. Populations, comprising five clones differing in their sensitivity to lethal concentrations of a metal-rich mine drainage effluent, were subjected to all possible combinations of three levels (absent, weak, and strong) of each stressor....
