- Summarizes fundamental information obtained in recent years, including on steroids, antioxidants, hormones, nanoparticles, and impact of wastewater of pharmaceutical industries
- Provides the foundational information needed for scientists and practitioners from a variety of fields, including conservation and evolutionary biology, genomics, ecology, ecotoxicology, comparative physiology, limnology, zoology–carcinology, and water quality assessment
- Features coverage of both Daphniids and representatives of other families, with attention drawn to little-studied aspects of their physiology, especially of those living in the litt oral zone
- Includes guidance to the literature on cladoceran physiology in four languages
- Discusses advantages and shortcomings of Cladocera as experimental animals and indicators of water quality
Researchers in zoology, comparative physiology, evolutionary biology, ecology, limnology, experimental medicine, and ecotoxiology; applied researchers in these areas as well as environmental monitoring, water quality testing, conservation biology and toxicology; university-level students and instructors in these areas
