RE: New research suggests that freshwater sources is affected by the rising atmospheric CO2 levels, not just seawater
I wish i could grow a helmet when predators are around. I wonder if there is another species that can survive better in high C02 water that will multiply to fulfill the new niche.
It sounds to me like the likely outcomes are algal blooms choking off the organisms in the freshwater : (
That's a good question, but it seems unlikely. Daphnia are extremely good at surviving! They can creating "resting eggs" that can survive for potentially thousands of years, and will only hatch once the conditions are good for them. They have been known to survive even extreme conditions, so for this reason I think it's more likely that the daphnia themselves will evolve to have a better predator perception.
This could very well be correct, and this is in fact what happens when acid rain makes a lake very acidic.

Wow thats is the first non-plant species that I have heard of that can go into "hiding" for that long until conditions are correct. I bet these will be amongst the the first to repopulate the planet after an asteroid like planetary disaster. Nature never fails to amaze me.
