Daphnia Heatwave: How Temperature Influences Water Flea Behavior

We wanted to examine how thermal pollution can have a long lasting effect on an environment. This has not been studied across multiple generations previously. We set out to understand, how does thermal stress affect the reproduction, viability, and swimming distance across two generations of Daphnia magna?
