The freshwater crustacean Daphnia is known for its ability to develop inducible morphological defences that thwart predators. These defences are developed only in the presence of predators and are realized as morphological shape alterations e.g. ‘neckteeth’ in D. pulex and ‘crests’ in D. longicephal...
