Abstract:"The continuous decline in calcium concentration in freshwater as a widespread environmental stress can have complex effects on the interspecific relationships of organisms, such as interference with the anti-predation defenses of Daphnia with high calcium demand. The natural population of Daphnia includes individuals with different developmental stages and sexes. Here, we measured the effects of decreased calcium concentration on morphological defense of Daphnia after different numbers of molts or under various sexes and the expression of genes related to signal recognition, carapace formation, reproductive allocation, and stress defense. Results showed that decreased Ca concentration resulted in the altered effects of fish kairomone on the change rates of body size, change rates of spine length, and change rates of relative spine length disappear. Furthermore, male Daphnia also developed morphological defense under fish predation risk, which was also inhibited by decreased Ca concentration, but no significant difference was observed in the intensity of induced defense between male and female Daphnia at low Ca concentrations. Importantly, decreased Ca concentrations did not alter the increase in expressions of genes related to neural signaling by fish kairomone. Fish kairomone promoted the expression of reproduction-related genes, whereas decreased Ca concentration inhibited their expression. Fish kairomone altered the expression of carapace-related genes, but most were disturbed by decreased Ca concentration. Decreased Ca concentration inhibited the increased expression of stress defense-related genes by fish kairomone. This study contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the effects of environmental changes on interspecific relationships among aquatic organisms of different developmental stages and different sexes"
