CLADOCERAPrefacePiet Spaak Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2007This volume contains 18 papers representing the 62oral papers and 58 posters delivered at the 7thInternational Symposium on Cladocera (3–9 September2005, in Herzberg, Switzerland). In attendance were120 scientists from 29 countries. According to thetraditions of this Symposium, many young researcherswere present and contributed actively to the conference.Eight of the papers published here have a PhD studentas first author.Although Cladocera research is dominated bywork on Daphnia, 5 of the 18 papers presented hereshow that other Cladocera are important parts of bothfreshwater and marine ecosystems. However, themajority of the papers illustrate the importance ofDaphnia as a model organism in ecology andevolution, and its developing use in genetic studies.The genome of Daphnia pulex will be published thisyear, which will create completely new possibilitiesin the investigation of the molecular basis ofmorphological, behavioural and life history responsesof Daphnia to environmental cues. These genetictools are also essential in solving the difficulttaxonomy of Cladocera. To show how quickly thisfield is progressing, one of the papers in this volumepresents a correction of a molecular method pre-sented and published from the previous Symposium.This symposium was organized by Piet Spaak ofthe Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science andTechnology (Eawag) in Dubendorf. It was held in thescenic location of Herzberg, in the Jura hills aboveAarau. The organizer wants to thank his colleagues,Eawag, and the people of Herzberg for their help inmaking this symposium a success. Furthermore, hewants to thank the 95 reviewers for their commentson the submitted papers for this volume.During the conference it was decided that the8th International Symposium on Cladocera will beheld in Aguascalientes City, Mexico, in 2008. Theorganizers will be Dr. Marcelo Silva Briano andDr. Roberto Rico Martinez. This will be the first timethat the Cladocera Symposium crosses the ocean, andit is sure to be a success.Guest editor: Piet SpaakCladocera: Proceedings of the 7th International Symposium onCladoceraP.
