The Cladocera XII conference will continue in the tradition of the Symposia on Cladocera, which used to be held triannually until the covid-19 pandemic disrupted our lives. After a much longer gap than usual, we thus invite researchers interested in this wonderful group of organisms or using some of them as their research models, to attend the 12th Symposium on Cladocera.

The conference will cover a wide range of topics related to the biology of cladocerans (including – but not only – our beloved Daphnia) as model organisms, covering their ecology, evolutionary biology, genomics, interaction with environmental stressors, diversity, biogeography, systematics, etc. Purely ecotoxicological studies will be discouraged, and highly descriptive or local faunistic contributions likely assigned to poster presentations.
