Results of laboratory experiment 1 investigating the effect of different diapause conditions on resting eggs from two rock pool populations. (a) Prevalence of the microsporidium Octosporea bayeri in Daphnia magna populations before and after summer drought and in hatchlings hatching from sediments that were sampled during the drought and exposed to two different diapause conditions in the laboratory. Conditions mimicked either summer diapause (warm, dry and light exposed) or winter diapause (cold, wet and dark). (b) Number of hatchlings from sediments from the two rock pools after exposure to different diapause conditions. Error bars represent +s.e.
