Brain volume increase and neuronal plasticity underly predator-induced morphological defense expression in Daphnia longicephala

Predator-induced phenotypic plasticity describes the ability of prey to respond to an increased predation risk by developing adaptive phenotypes. Upon the perception of chemical predator cues, the freshwater crustacean Daphnia longicephala develops defensive crests against its predator Notonecta spe...
