Diaspore Dispersal of Anostraca by Flying Insects [PDF]

Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2009
Fairy shrimps (Anostraca) live in temporary waters. Dominant among their predators are aquatic insects, especially diving beetles (Dytiscidae). Mastication of the eggs of the fairy shrimp Branchipus schaefferi and their passage through the digestive tract of smaller beetles, like Ilybius fenestratus, has a positive effect on hatching afterwards ...

Competitive Interactions Between Generalist Predators and Their Effects on Shared and Non‐Shared Pests in a Greenhouse Crop

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Orius laevigatus engages in unidirectional intraguild predation on Transeius montdorensis. Despite this, both predators coexisted and suppressed the shared thrips prey. Aphids, a non‐shared prey, were effectively controlled by O. laevigatus even when its population was limited due to intraguild predation. T.

Development and Reproduction of Nesidiocoris tenuis Reuter (Heteroptera: Miridae): The Effect of Temperature, Origin and Food

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Nymphal development took longer at 25°C than 30°C, and the Greek N. tenuis population developed more slowly than the commercial population. Nymphs clearly preferred E. kuehniella eggs over Artemia sp. cysts when both were offered equally. Egg production increased at 30°C, while female longevity declined.

Detection and succession properties of forested vernal pools with eDNA metabarcoding

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.
We examined the capacity of environmental DNA metabarcoding for studying biodiversity of forested vernal pools, using multiple assays to investigate different eukaryotic communities over space and time. Our results suggest that metabarcoding can serve as a complementary tool for ‘scaling up’ vernal pool biodiversity monitoring, illuminating ecological ...

Ecological and Genetic Insights Into Antarctic Fairy Shrimp, Branchinecta gaini Daday, 1910 (Branchiopoda: Anostraca) Populations on King George Island, Antarctica

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The Antarctic fairy shrimp (Branchinecta gaini) is the largest inland animal in Antarctica and a key component of its freshwater ecosystems. Despite its broad distribution, little is known about its population structure, habitat tolerance, and potential vulnerability to climate change. This study investigated the occurrence, genetic structure,

Artemia Enrichment Strategies: A Comprehensive Review of Nutritional Enhancements With Emphasis on Fatty Acid Profiles in Aquatic Species

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 17, Issue 4, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Artemia (brine shrimp) is a foundational live feed in global aquaculture, renowned for its adaptability, ease of production, and favorable nutritional profile. However, in its natural state, Artemia contains suboptimal levels of highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFAs), particularly docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA ...

On the freshwater crustaceans of the Central Plateau [PDF]

, 1972
Although the waters of the Central Plateau harbour a number of interesting planktonic crustaceans, in these notes we are primarily concerned with the large macroscopic crustaceans.

Observations on Phallocryptus spinosa (Branchiopoda, Anostraca) populations from the high plateaus of Northeastern Algeria [PDF]

, 2015
Phallocryptus spinosa (Thamnocephalidae) is a small primitive crustacean which lives in temporary saline pools of the Palaearctic region called Chott, Sebkha, Garâa or Daya in North Africa. Data on its biology and life history are very scarce despite its
