Daphnia are tiny crustaceans, or 'water fleas,' that are extremely adaptable to their environment. This is due to their remarkable phenotypic plasticity, i.e., their ability to change their form or behavior despite their genetic makeup remaining unchanged. Even male and female Daphnia are genetically identical.
Researchers reveal how genetically identical water fleas develop into different sexes retrieved 13 May 2024 from https://phys.org/news/2024-05-reveal-genetically-identical-fleas-sexes.html

Researchers realize hydrogen formation by contact electrification of water microdroplets and its regulationDirect utilization of water as a source of hydrogen atoms and molecules is fundamental to the evolution of the ecosystem and industry. However, liquid water is an unfavorable electron donor for forming these hydrogen species due to its redox inertness.
