Descriptor Daphnia pulex
Entry term(s) Daphnia pulicaria
pulga de agua común
Scope note: Pulga de agua dulce con un pectén medio de la garra postabdominal claramente robusto y pequeñas marcas poligonales simétricas en el pico. D. pulex y varias especies estrechamente relacionadas, como D. pulicaria, pertenecen a lo que a veces se conoce como complejo D. pulex y pueden hibridarse. Daphnia pulex tiene una amplia distribución; es a menudo la especie más frecuente en charcas efímeras y es un sistema modelo para diversos estudios ecológicos, ecotoxicológicos y biomédicos.
