Abstract
Study of genetic variation within and differentiation among natural zooplankton populations. Ecological relevant traits (vertical migration behaviour, life histories; predator-induced defences as well as neutral markers (allozymes, microsatellite DNA)In collaboration with the Salt Research Institute, Tanggu, China
