Our study examined the performance of the Daphnia magna transcriptome to detect distinct responses across three water sources in Minnesota: laboratory [well] waters, wetland waters, or stormwaters. Pyriproxyfen (PPF) was included as a gene expression and male neonate production positive control to examine whether gene expression resulting from exposure to this well-studied juvenoid hormone analog can be detected in complex matrices. Laboratory-reared (<24 hr) D. magna were exposed to a water source and/or PPF for 16 d to monitor phenotypic changes or 96 hr to examine gene expression responses using Illumina HiSeq 2500 (10 million reads per library, 50-bp paired-end (2x50)).CC0 1.0 Universalhttp://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/BiomonitoringEcotoxicogenomicsEffects-based monitoringInvertebrate toxicologyTranscriptomicsDatasethttps://doi.org/10.13020/4hq3-v890
