SEM morphological analysis of fertilized cysts in the genus Branchipus (Branchiopoda, Anostraca): Can cyst morphology be used as a reliable taxonomic criterion? [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Biological Sciences, 2009
In order to illuminate taxonomic significance of cyst variability (as a part of total morphological variability) in the genus Branchipus, cysts (fertilized eggs) originating from southern parts of the Pannonian Plain are described on the basis of ...

Biodiversity patterns diverge along geographic temperature gradients

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 603-617, February 2023., 2023
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).

First Record of Eurasian Spoonbills Platalea leucorodia feeding on Branchiopoda in a temporary wetland

open access: yesAvocetta, 2020
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.

Environmental DNA (eDNA) detects temporal and habitat effects on community composition and endangered species in ephemeral ecosystems: A case study in vernal pools

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 85-101, January 2023., 2023
Vernal pools are temporary wetlands that can form during a rainy season, often in Mediterranean climates, and serve as ideal testing grounds to understand species detection using eDNA and how biological communities may shift across time and spatial and environmental heterogeneity.

The impact of one-decade ecological disturbance on genetic changes : a study on the brine shrimp Artemia urmiana from Urmia Lake, Iran [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
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.

Differences in within-plant oviposition preferences and immature survival between Orius predators and the importance of spatial availability of prey. [PDF]

open access: yesInsect Sci
Orius predators oviposit endophytically, and plant characteristics play an important role in their oviposition choices. In this study, we show that oviposition preferences differ between species, and that these differences may correlate with juvenile performance.

Colonization and dispersal patterns of the invasive American brine shrimp Artemia franciscana (Branchiopoda: Anostraca) in the Mediterranean region [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
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.

Origin and genetic diversity of diploid parthenogenetic Artemia in Eurasia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
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.

Fauna of the Pivka Intermittent Lakes

open access: yesActa Carsologica, 2016
Prispevek opisuje vodno favno presihajočih Pivških jezer. Zaradi presihajočega značaja jezer so bili na tem območju najdeni zanimivi predstavniki nižjih rakov, predvsem iz skupin škrgonožcev (Anostraca), vodnih bolh(Cladocera) ter ceponožcev (Copepoda ...
