The reproductive strategies (i.e., investment in numbers versus size of the offspring) of Daphnia exposed to i) a low quantity of high quality food, and ii) an unrestricted quantity of low quality cyanobacterial food were tested. The second goal was to test which food level (i.e., how strong dietary restriction) causes similar changes in Daphnia life history as does the diet composed...
