Daphnia are mysterious creatures with astonishing vitality despite their tiny bodies. With just water, light, and the right temperature, they can reproduce and be kept without special equipment or food. Their ease of care makes them popular for nature observation and learning.
This app, “Daphnia Simulation,” utilizes your smartphone's light sensor to control algae growth and photosynthesis, enabling you to dramatically increase daphnia populations or maintain them long-term. It also replicates unique daphnia traits—such as producing “endoeggs” adapted to environmental changes and changing body color during oxygen deprivation.
Furthermore, it is designed to let you experience the profound mysteries of nature through their ability to adapt to harsh environments.
