Au cours de l'automne, les daphnies préparent leurs œufs de résistance ou œufs d'hiver. [...] Lors de la mue, les œufs sont éliminés avec l'exuvie qui sédimente et hiverne au fond de la mare. [...] les œufs d'hiver écloseront dès les premiers redoux. Chez Daphnia, les œufs d'hiver, peu nombreux[,] sont encapsulés dans une structure chitineuse dérivée de la poche incubatrice, l'éphipium. 3, record 1, French, - %26oelig%3Buf%20d%27hiver
