I am doing the typical A-level biology coursework on the effects of various 
drugs on the heart rate of Daphnia and have been able to find information on 
all the drugs except nicotine on your wonderful website! It would be great if 
you could just give me some information on what nicotine does to the 
heart/heart rate of Daphnia (and also humans) and how it does it so that I can 
make an informed prediction and conclusion to my coursework. Thanks a lot!!!
