Interesting video focussed on water fleas. They respond to the presence of fish in general behaviour and reproduction. Also respond to the presence of phantom midges. Can even grow neck teeth!

That was cool. It even gave a possible explanation as to why daphnia feeding fish can be caught on orange/pink colored stuff, which is one of the mysteries of stillwater fly fishing.
