Maternal food quantity affects offspring feeding rate in Daphnia magna.

Biology letters - 1 Jul 2014

Garbutt Jennie S, Little Tom J

Abstract excerpt

Maternal effects have wide-ranging effects on life-history traits. Here, using the crustacean Daphnia magna, we document a new effect: maternal food quantity affects offspring feeding rate, with low quantities of food triggering mothers to produce slow-feeding offspring. Such a change in the rate of resource acquisition has broad implications for population growth or dynamics and for interactions with, for...
