Discovery of dark matter fungi in aquatic ecosystems demands a reappraisal of the phylogeny and ecology of zoosporic fungi (2016, unknown): “Direct quantification of Daphnia zoospore consumption is another suitable approach to evaluate the ecological importance of the mycoloop in the field.”
Parasitic chytrids: their effects on phytoplankton communities and food-web dynamics (2007, background): “Predation on the zoospores of chytrids has been found for certain zooplankton species, like Daphnia, the ciliate Cyclidium, and the Chrysophyte Ochromonas (Canter Lund & Lund, 1995; Kagami et al., 2004).”
Fungi in lake ecosystems (2010, background): “Appl Environ Microbiol 62:249–253 Johnson PTJ, Longcore JE, Stanton DE, Carnegie RB, Shields JD, Preu ER (2006) Chytrid infections of Daphnia puli- caria: development, ecology, pathology and phylogeny of Polycaryum laeve.”
Diversity and functions of microscopic fungi: a missing component in pelagic food webs (2010, background): “Metschnikowia bicuspidate) or chytrids (particularly zoospores) can be ingested by Daphnia ( Kagami et al. 2004; Lampert and Sommer 2007).”
Chytrid infections and diatom spring blooms: paradoxical effects of climate warming on fungal epidemics in lakes (2011, background): “Interestingly, Kagami et al. (2004) also demonstrated that survival and overall fitness of Daphnia drastically increased when Asterionella was infected with Zygorhizidium.”
