Fig. 1. Schematic diagram of the experimental design. The
F0 generation was kept at restricted (R) and high (H)
food ration for both control and dopamine treatments (2 x 2 design) from
birth until maturity, with six replicate beakers per treatment
combination and with each replicate initially containing ten
individuals. Due to the occurrence of males in the F0generation, total sample sizes, given as N, varied among treatments.
Individuals in the F1 generation were kept without food
in separate wells and were not exposed to dopamine.
Fig. 2. Effect of food ration on F0 and
F1 traits in D. magna in the dopamine and control
treatments. (A) Somatic growth rate, (B) age at maturation (days), (C)
dry mass at maturation (mg), (D) Offspring dry mass (mg) and (E)
offspring longevity (days). Error bars give 1SE.
