Abstract
The influence of food quantity on the variability of Daphnia pulex clonal cultures by duration of development, survival, fecundity, body length, tail spine length was studied. Specific changes in characteristics studied in contrast food conditions in crustaceans from different clones was revealed. Revealed reaction types of individuals onto ecological conditions can be associated with genetic determination of phenotypic plasticity of studied quantitative characteristics.
