Similarities: Daphnia and crustaceans (such as shrimp) share the same kind of "jerky" movement through a body of water. Also, like crustaceans such as lobsters and crabs, both have a hard outer shell.

Is Daphnia a zooplankton or phytoplankton?
They are planktonic crustaceans.
Which invertebrate group is a daphnia in?
Daphnia, or water fleas, are arthropods, more specifically crustaceans, like crabs, or krill!
What is the domain of a daphnia?
Cladocera - order of small crustaceans - water fleas
What is daphnia niche?
Daphnia are filter feeders. They clear the water column of algae and particulates. In turn they are eaten by other organisms, such as fish. Thus, one could say the ecological role of Daphnia is to transfer energy from lower to higher trophic levels.
Daphina belong to which group?
Daphnia belong to the Cladocera group. They are one of the several small aquatic crustaceans commonly referred to as water fleas.
Is a diatom unicellular or multicellular?
Daphnia is a multicellular crustacean, commonly known as a water flea. Water fleas are not really fleas at all, though they are called fleas.
Do daphnia have organelles?
Yes, daphnia do have backbones.
Do daphnia eat hydras?
No, Daphnia can not eat Hydra, Because the Hydra has tentacles to capture the Daphnia and eat it. The Daphnia therefore can not get free which means the Hydra can eat the Daphnia. The Hydra therefore has more force and can eat the Daphnia. Your answer is NO.
Do crustaceans live in the Amazon River?
Well relatively speaking there are these tiny little "Water flea's" called Daphnia they are actually classified as a crustacean and is a very popular munch for baby fish
What comes before planknvores in the ecological pyramid of lakes?
Primary producers-plankton. Photosynthetic algae, decomposers, cyanobacteris, zooplankton(most of these are planktivores ie. Daphnia, copepods, small crustaceans
What are facts about daphnia?
There are many species of daphnia and they are found across the globe. Daphnia is most used in fish culture due to their cost and availability. The scientific name for the Daphnia is"Cladocera." They have many legs and are a brownish color. The reason why you can identify the colors is because of the fact that daphnia are actually transparent. The majority of Daphnia are filter feeders which means that they help clean up the ecosystem by feeding on algae or bacteria which is sometimes very dangerous to humans. This makes them extremely popular in large lakes. In fact, it is possible that about 100,000 of these "water fleas" occupy every cubic meter in the Great Lakes. Even though these crustaceans may seem out the ordinary, they are like many other animals in the ecosystem, with legs, antennae, eyes and even a nervous system, making them perfect for scientific studies, such as toxicity studies due to the fact that they feed from the same water they live in.
What is the scientific name for daphnia?
The scientific name for daphnia is Daphnia pulex. Daphnia are small, planktonic crustaceans commonly used in scientific research as a model organism due to their transparent bodies and ease of cultivation in the laboratory.
