Short-term heat shock perturbation affects populations of Daphnia magna and Eurytemora carolleeae: a warning to the water thermal pollution

Abstract Thermal pollution leads to short-term heat shock in aquatic invertebrates; however, the modulation of tolerance and life history of these invertebrates by thermal stress varies among regions, phenology, species, and their acclimation. To assess the effect of thermal shock, we conducted expe...
