Some Eristic and Metric Traits of Eulimnadia michaeli (Order Spinicaudata; Family Limnadiidae): First Report from Vernal Pool of Karachi, Pakistan
AbstractThis is the first record of Eulimnadia michaeli , identified from the vernal pools of Karachi, Pakistan, based on the morphological and...

Salinisation of arid temporary pools alters crustacean hatching success but not phenology dynamics
The widespread acceleration of freshwater salinisation due to human activities, such as pollution, resource extraction and urbanisation coupled with...

Egg banks in dryland wetlands provide information on the diversity and vulnerability of branchiopod communities along a longitudinal aridity gradient
Continued degradation of temporary wetlands and rapidly declining freshwater biodiversity call for identification of vulnerable species as targets...
-
Egg morphology may underpin the successful distribution of large branchiopods in temporary waters
Invertebrate species from temporary aquatic ecosystems produce resistant dormant stages (i.e. eggs) that accumulate in long lived mixed egg banks in...

Large branchiopod occurrence and community structure in relation to land-use types in temporary ponds of northern Tanzania
Large branchiopods are a key component of the fauna of temporary ponds and play an important role in the functioning of these vulnerable ecosystems....

Morphological plasticity in the rice root nematode, Hirschmanniella oryzae (van Breda de Haan, 1902) Luc & Goodey, 1964 from Korea, with inferences from its ribosomal and mitochondrial DNA
A population of Hirschmanniella oryzae (van Breda de Haan, 1902) Luc & Goodey, 1964 with extreme morphological and morphometric variations was...

Complete mitochondrial genomes of three fairy shrimps from snowmelt pools in Japan
BackgroundFairy shrimps belong to order Anostraca, class Branchiopoda, subphylum Crustacea, and phylum Arthropoda. Three fairy shrimp species ( Eubran...

The first complete mitochondrial genome of Limnadia lenticularis (Branchiopoda, Spinicaudata), with new insights on its phylogeography and on the taxonomy of the genus
We present the complete mitochondrial (mtDNA) genome of the branchiopod Limnadia lenticularis (Linnaeus, 1761). The circular genome is 15,151 bp in...

Wind dispersal differences between rotifer cryptic species: a proof of principle from a wind tunnel experiment
Wind is expected to be one of the main vectors of passive dispersal for small zooplankters between discrete, unconnected habitats. However, little is...

Molecular Evolution of Malacostracan Short Wavelength Sensitive Opsins
Investigations of the molecular mechanisms behind detection of short, and particularly ultraviolet, wavelengths in arthropods have relied heavily on...

Functional importance of the mandibular skeleto-muscular system in the bivalved arthropod Heterocypris incongruens (Crustacea, Ostracoda, Cyprididae)
Arthropods with a pair of mandibles (Mandibulata) emerged by the end of the Cambrian period. The mandible is one of the apomorphic characteristics of...

A New Glance at Old Samples: Remains of Freshwater Invertebrates Associated with Mummified Carcasses of Large Quaternary Mammals
Abstract —Carcasses of mammals with well-preserved soft tissues from the permafrost of Siberia and northern North America are among the most important...

The genome of the extremophile Artemia provides insight into strategies to cope with extreme environments
BackgroundBrine shrimp Artemia have an unequalled ability to endure extreme salinity and complete anoxia. This study aims to elucidate its...

Crustaceans: Crustacea
Species of the order Bathynellacea are small crustaceans of an extraordinary outlook, up to some millimetres. The head of the animal with cylindrical...

Eutrophication effects differ among functional groups in vernal pool invertebrate communities
Environmental productivity and biodiversity are two intricately linked ecological concepts. One commonly observed pattern is a unimodal curve with...

Effects of dietary restriction on lifespan, growth, and reproduction of the clam shrimp Eulimnadia texana
Diet has been linked to lifespan in a broad range of animals. In particular, pronounced caloric restriction has been associated with increased...

Mitochondrial genome diversity and evolution in Branchiopoda (Crustacea)
BackgroundThe crustacean class Branchiopoda includes fairy shrimps, clam shrimps, tadpole shrimps, and water fleas. Branchiopods, which are well...

Naupliar development of Facetotecta (Crustacea: Thecostraca) and the nature of the first nauplius instar in the Crustacea - pro et contra the Hexanauplia concept
From a number of partial moult series obtained by laboratory culture of plankton-caught specimens, we described all naupliar instars of the...
