Wydział BiologiiMy PhD thesis focuses on the impact of temperature increase on body size and reproduction of Daphnia, as well as dynamics of their populations and structure of communities. I investigated communities of Daphnia longispina complex, inhabiting lakes heated by power plants, and I showed that Daphnia can adapt to elevated temperature by increase of constitutive body size and plastic change of size. Large body size maximizes their reproduction during mild winters, while plastic size reduction allows maintaining efficient reproduction under thermal extremes. Temperature elevation also induced Daphnia community reconstruction, with appearance of characteristic to Southern Europe D. galeata and reduced abundance of North-European D....
