Daphnia is a genus of small planktonic crustaceans, 0.2–6.0 mm (0.01–0.24 in) in length. Daphnia are members of the order Anomopoda , and are one of the several small aquatic crustaceans commonly called water fleas because their saltatory swimming style resembles the movements of fleas .

Daphnia pulex. The genus Daphnia (Crustacea: Cladocera: Daphniidae) contains over 200 species of water fleas, many of which are in need of further taxonomic investigation (species inquirendae; marked with asterisks). [1]
Daphnia studeri is a species of microcrustacean in the genus Daphnia. D. studeri lives in oligotrophic freshwater and slightly brackish lakes in Antarctica and sub-Antarctic islands. Adult Daphnia studeri are typically 1.5 to 2.5 mm (0.059 to 0.098 in) [ 1 ] and colorless or slightly pink.
Stentor coeruleus, used in molecular biology (its genome has been sequenced), [5] and is studied as a model of single-cell regeneration.; Dictyostelium discoideum, used in molecular biology and genetics (its genome has been sequenced), and is studied as an example of cell communication, differentiation, and programmed cell death.
The feeding mechanism of the members of the family Daphniidae differs from that of the Macrotrichidae in allowing the animals to engage in filter feeding, rather than having to scrape food from a surface.
Brassica carinata Ethiopian mustard The code in the "Chr.count" column specifies the total number of chromosomes in each somatic cell, and how it relates to the number n of chromosomes in each full genome set (which is also the number found in the pollen or ovule ), and the number x of chromosomes in each component genome.
Daphnia galeata is a small species of planktonic crustaceans. It lives in freshwater environments across a large area of the Northern Hemisphere , mostly in lakes . D. galeata comprises two subspecies : D. g. galeata , found in the Old World , and D. g. mendotae , named after Lake Mendota near Madison, Wisconsin , in the New World .
