Daphnia magna is used in different field of research, such as ecotoxicology, population genetics, the evolution of sex, phenotypic plasticity, ecophysiology (including global change biology) and host-parasite interactions. [27] Historically, D. magna allowed researchers to test some interesting theories and conduct pioneering studies:
