Food selectivity of the herbivore Daphnia magna (Cladocera) and its impact on competition outcome between two freshwater green algae

Freshwater green algae, Chlorella, have heavy cell walls and their size usually exceeds the lower limits of limb size of herbivorous Daphnia (Cladocera). According to the optimal foraging theory, we speculated that Daphnia would graze more exposed and relatively large Clamydomonas rather than Chlore...
