Data for: Interacting effects of simulated eutrophication, temperature increase, and microplastic exposure on Daphnia
AI summary Read the abstract
This dataset supports a study on how combined stressors - simulated eutrophication, elevated temperature, and microplastic exposure - affect the water flea Daphnia magna. Life-history parameters including survival, reproduction, growth, and fatty acid content were recorded across experimental treatment groups.

Interacting effects of simulated eutrophication, temperature increase, and microplastic exposure on Daphnia
AI summary Read the abstract
This study examined the interacting effects of simulated eutrophication (increased cyanobacteria from 5% to 95% of food), temperature increase (+3 degrees C), and microplastic exposure on Daphnia in freshwater systems. Multiple stressors combined in ways that differed from single-stressor experiments, underscoring the complexity of predicting ecological outcomes from simultaneous environmental pressures.
Synergistic effects of water temperature, microplastics and ammonium as second and third order stressors on Daphnia magna
AI summary Read the abstract
Combining water temperature, microplastics, and ammonium as stressors produced synergistic negative effects on the water flea Daphnia magna, reducing its filtration capacity and survival more than any single stressor alone. The findings are relevant to wastewater treatment, where Daphnia are used to filter particles and could face such combined stressors.
Long-term adverse effects of microplastics on Daphnia magna reproduction and population growth rate at increased water temperature and light intensity: Combined effects of stressors and interactions
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers investigated how increased water temperature and light intensity affect the long-term toxicity of microplastics to the water flea Daphnia magna. They found that microplastics caused mortality, reduced growth, and decreased reproduction across all conditions, but these effects were significantly worsened by both higher temperature and brighter light. The study suggests that climate change factors may synergistically amplify the harmful impacts of microplastic pollution on freshwater zooplankton.
Impacts of microplastics and pesticides on Daphnia
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers investigated the combined and individual impacts of microplastics and pesticides on Daphnia magna, a model crustacean widely used in freshwater ecotoxicology, to assess how these co-occurring pollutants affect aquatic ecosystem health. The study examined survival, reproduction, and physiological responses in D. magna exposed to varying concentrations of both stressors under controlled conditions.
Effect of Polystyrene Microplastics in Different Diet Combinations on Survival, Growth and Reproduction Rates of the Water Flea (Daphnia magna)
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers exposed Daphnia magna water fleas to 6-micrometer fluorescent polystyrene microplastics across different diet combinations over 21 days, finding that animals fed only microplastics showed survival declines similar to starved controls and the least growth, while algae co-feeding partially mitigated but did not eliminate reproductive impacts.
