Some water fleas Daphnia change their head morphology to reduce predation risk in response to chemical substances (kairomones) released from larvae of the invertebrate predator Chaoborus (Insecta: Diptera).We tested for evidence of the costs associated with elongation of the head spine in Daphnia galeata and the consequences of these costs on the i
