“…Water temperatures at which the samples were collected ranged from 2°C to 20°C, salinity varied from 9 to 35 g/L, and pH ranged from 9.0 to 10.4 (Zhao, Wang, Zheng, Zhao, & Wang, ). However, a recent study (Lin et al., ) reported an even wider salinity range (6.4–46.2 g/L) for D. tibetana . The northernmost population in our investigation was found in Sugan Lake, a closed inland ecosystem located to the north of Qaidam Basin at an altitude of 2,796 m, the lowest known altitude where D. tibetana occurs.…”

Daphnia on the Tibetan Plateau has been little studied, and information on species diversity and biogeography is lacking. Here, we conducted a 4‐year survey using the barcoding fragment of the mitochondrial COI gene to determine the distribution and diversity of Daphnia species found across the Plateau. Our results show that species richness is higher than previously thought, with total described and provisional species number doubling from 5 to 10. Six of the taxonomic units recovered by DNA taxonomy agreed well with morphology, but DNA barcoding distinguished three clades each for the D. longispina (D. galeata, D. dentifera, and D. longispina) and D. pulex (D. pulex, D. cf. tenebrosa, and D. pulicaria) complexes. The sequence divergence between congeneric species varied within a large range, from 9.25% to 30.71%. The endemic D. tibetana was the most common and widespread species, occurring in 12 hyposaline to mesosaline lakes. The lineage of D. longispina is the first confirmed occurrence in west Tibet.

“…Here, we focus on body size of zooplankton. Zooplankton play a significant role in controlling the physical and biogeochemical structure of aquatic ecosystems (Brierley, 2014;Hutchinson, 1961) and provide a critical link between phytoplankton through top-down control and higher trophic levels via energy transfer (Carpenter, Kitchell, & Hodgson, 1985;Hannides, Popp, Landry, & Graham, 2009;Lin et al, 2017). Thus, understanding how temperature change will alter body size and community trophic structure of zooplankton is essential for gaining insight into how climate change will alter aquatic ecosystems and food webs.…”

“…Understanding the contribution of intraspecific and interspecific variation on trophic structure of consumers is important but still largely unknown (Griffiths et al, 2018;Laughlin & Messier, 2015;Lin et al, 2017). Community difference can be partitioned into species sorting (SS), intraspecific trait variation (ITV), and species turnover (ST) using the Price equation (Price, 1970).…”

Understanding the effects of global warming on trait variation and trophic structure is a crucial challenge in the 21st century. However, there is a lack of general patterns that can be used to predict trait variation and community trophic structure under the ongoing environmental change. We investigated the responses of body size and community trophic structure of zooplankton to climate related factors (e.g., temperature). Isotopic niche breadth was applied to investigate the community trophic structure across a 1‐year study from a subtropical reservoir (Tingxi Reservoir) in southeastern China. Body size and community isotopic niche breadth of zooplankton were larger during water mixing than stratification periods and correlated significantly with water temperature change along the time series. The contributions of intra‐ and intertaxonomic components to body size and community trophic structure variation showed significant relationships with the temperature change going from the mixing to stratification periods. Water temperature imposed direct effect on body size, while direct and indirect effect on the community trophic structure of zooplankton occurred through trophic redundancy along time series. Water temperature and community properties (e.g., body size, trophic redundancy, or trophic interaction) showed complex interactions and integrated to influence community trophic structure of zooplankton. Our results can expand the knowledge of how elevated temperature will alter individual trait and community trophic structure under future climate change.
