Food quality impact on growth and survival of Daphnia longispina (Crustacea: Cladocera)
 Sýkorová, Veronika ; Sacherová, Veronika (advisor) ; Macháček, Jiří (referee)
This thesis focuses on ecological processes among plankton organisms. It especially questions the influence of food quality on growth and survival of freshwater plankton. I focused on the influence of various ratios of nitrogen and phosphorus in available food. I am also interested in finding out the food requirements of chosen consumer Daphnia longispina. Within this broad topic, I specify a question, whether various quality and quantity of food influences the life history parameters of the species Daphnia longispina and whether the absence of common species of Cladoceran Daphnia longispina in Plešné Lake is caused by unsuitable quality of food. I have bred Daphnia longispina in laboratory conditions for two years. I fed it by algae Monoraphidium dybowskii isolated from Plešné Lake and grown in two media P-limited (C:P 1174), P-unlimited (C:P 290) and three concentration (1,2, 4 mg C/L). Cladocerans fed by food from medium that had a C:N:P ratio approximately the same as can be found in Plešné Lake (C:P 1174) lived for a singificantly shorter period of time and during the experiment they did not reproduce even in the case with the largest amount of food (4 mg C/L). This is a possible reason why Daphnia longispina did not return to Plešné Lake after the period of strong acidification, climax of...
