Terrestrial water bodies (WBs), including lakes, ponds, and reservoirs, are pivotal components of Earth's hydrological and biogeochemical systems, offering vital ecosystem services. Yet, conventional studies often overlook small water bodies or overstate their prevalence.

Researchers reveal how genetically identical water fleas develop into different sexesDaphnia are tiny crustaceans, or 'water fleas,' that are extremely adaptable to their environment. This is due to their remarkable phenotypic plasticity, i.e., their ability to change their form or behavior despite their genetic makeup remaining unchanged. Even male and female Daphnia are genetically identical.
