“…Although producing toxins is useful to prevent grazing by zooplankton filter feeders and large animals (Alonso-Andicoberry et al, 2002;López-Rodas et al, 2008;De Mott et al, 1991;Kinder, 1995;Rohrlack et al, 1999;Trubetskova & Haney, 2000;Vanderploeg et al, 2001;Frances, 1878;López-Rodas & Costas, 1999), it is also costly in terms of fitness, whereby the toxin-producing m+genotypes showed diminished fitness with respect to non-producing mgenotypes in the absence of grazers (Carrillo et al, 2003;López-Rodas et al, 2006). Our results also show significant negative regression between fitness and toxin production.…”

“…Filter-feeding animals as zebra mussels employ a sophisticated mechanism based on the selective alimentation eliminating living Microcystis in pseudo-feces to avoid microcystin producers (Vanderploeg et al, 2001). It is known that animals that consume Mycrocystis scum die due to the toxic effect of cyanotoxins (Alonso-Andicoberrt et al, 2002;López-Rodas et al, 2008;Francis, 1878;Galey et al, 1987;Soll & Williams, 1985;Matsunaga et al, 1999). Thus, the protection against grazing will compensate the metabolic cost of microcystin production.…”

“…Toxins from species-specific algae have been implicated in waterfowl deaths and human illness and are not removed by standard municipal water disinfection processes (Falconer & Humpage 2005;Lopez-Rodas et al 2008). Several researchers at the University of California, Davis have shown that surface water temperatures in the Sierra like many lakes in the Northern Hemisphere are increasing (Coats et al 2006).…”
