Upcoming Ensembl Platform Transition

This is the final release of its kind on this website.

In summer 2026, this site will bring you to the new Ensembl platform currently at beta.ensembl.org.
Please bookmark this archive to retain access to the current site, tools and functionality until they are available on the new platform -> eg63-metazoa.ensembl.org

Daphnia magna (Fresh water planktonic, NIES) (ASM2063170v1.1)

About Daphnia magna

Daphnia magna is a small planktonic crustacean that belongs to the subclass Phyllopoda.

It inhabits a variety of freshwater environments and is broadly distributed throughout the northern hemisphere, and in South Africa.

D. magna is used in many different fields of research, such as ecotoxicology, population genetics, the evolution of sex, phenotypic plasticity, ecophysiology (including global change biology) and host-parasite interactions.
