title: An estimation of the heritability of phototaxis in Daphnia magna Straus.
abstract: The phototactic responses of four clones of Daphnia magna were experimentally analysed. Broad-sense heritability of this behavioural character was estimated through an analysis of variance, and it was very high under the standardised experimental conditions of this study.
