Colonization and dispersal patterns of the invasive American brine shrimp Artemia franciscana (Branchiopoda: Anostraca) in the Mediterranean region [PDF]
Cysts of the brine shrimp Artemia franciscana are harvested from the Great Salt Lake (GSL) and San Francisco Bay (SFB) saltworks in the USA, and marketed worldwide to provide live food for aquaculture.

Abstract Many aquatic invertebrates that inhabit temporary ponds produce resting forms to overcome the dry period, building up the egg bank. When the wet phase returns, the resting forms hatch and the community is restored, and then pioneer species may have a major influence on how the pond community will assemble. We aimed to evaluate the diversity of

The diet of the Eurasian Spoonbill Platalea leucorodia is poorly documented with only the most common prey groups known, namely small fishes, amphibians, reptiles, crustaceans, molluscs, worms, leeches and plant material.

The impact of one-decade ecological disturbance on genetic changes : a study on the brine shrimp Artemia urmiana from Urmia Lake, Iran [PDF]
Urmia Lake, the largest natural habitat of the brine shrimp Artemia urmiana, has progressively desiccated over the last two decades, resulting in a loss of 80% of its surface area and producing thousands of hectares of arid salty land.

Biodiversity patterns diverge along geographic temperature gradients
Integrating historical lake sampling from a series of adjacent mountain ranges in western North America (a) we assessed variation across multiple dimensions of zooplankton biodiversity both within, and between, elevational and latitudinal gradients (b).

New Gynandromorph Records for Chirocephalus diaphanus (Branchiopoda, Anostraca, Chirocephalidae)
We report and describe new Chirocephalus diaphanus gynandromorphs from Tunisia and review the literature of anostracan gynandromorphy and other, possibly associated, somatic aberrations, with comments on their evolutionary significance.

Complementarity between Orius predators improves control of foliar and flower pests. [PDF]
Orius predators are commonly used against thrips in many crops. Certain species are suggested to be more effective against flower pests, while others may control effectively foliar pests. Here, we show that Orius species combinations may complement each other and effectively control both flower and foliar pests on gerbera.

Origin and genetic diversity of diploid parthenogenetic Artemia in Eurasia [PDF]
There is wide interest in understanding how genetic diversity is generated and maintained in parthenogenetic lineages, as it will help clarify the debate of the evolution and maintenance of sexual reproduction.

Risk reduction strategies in Branchipus schaefferi (Crustacea: Anostraca: Branchiopoda) as adaptation to a variable environment [PDF]
Mud from a temporary pool in Morocco was sequentially inundated and dried at the laboratory to follow the life history of Branchipus schaefferi. Once adult, each female was coupled to a male in order to study their life history and reproduction.
