An Integrative Taxonomic Revision of the Freshwater Atyid Shrimps (Crustacea: Decapoda: Caridea) of Micronesia

Diversity
Twelve species of atyid shrimps are reported from three Micronesian islands (Babeldaob, Pohnpei, and Guam) and studied using a combined morphological and molecular approach. Among them, three are new records for the area (Caridina appendiculata, Caridina

Living at the Interface: Behavioral, Evolutionary and Ecological Insights of Spring Use by Highly Mobile Stygobiont Crustaceans, <i>Troglocaris planinensis</i> (Decapoda: Atyidae). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The study provides evidence that animals considered as strictly linked to subterranean habitats can exhibit behavioral responses to constraints occurring in surface environments. We studied the blind and depigmented shrimp Troglocaris planinensis in the Classical Karst using field and experimental approaches.

Simplifying Macroinvertebrate Biodiversity Assessment: A Standardised Metabarcoding Method for Invertebrate Samples With High Volumes of Debris. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT DNA metabarcoding of freshwater macroinvertebrate samples can provide rapid and accurate identification of species diversity. Processing samples where macroinvertebrates are not separated from net contents can substantially reduce time and cost.

Development of a non-lethal stomach content analysis method for freshwater eels: An empirical evaluation of the tube method for Anguilla marmorata. [PDF]

J Fish Biol
Abstract Understanding the feeding habits of predatory fish is essential for unravelling food web structures and implementing conservation strategies in riverine ecosystems. However, conventional lethal stomach content analysis methods are not necessarily appropriate for long‐term dietary studies, particularly for threatened species, as they require ...

Toxicity of Commonly Used Plasticizers to the Freshwater Organisms Tilapia sparrmanii (Fish) and Caridina nilotica (Shrimp): Lethal and Sublethal Effects. [PDF]

Environ Toxicol
ABSTRACT The toxicity of microplastics in aquatic environments is usually due to plasticizers, the chemical additives that keep the plastic polymers together. Thus, the current study reports on the toxicity of three common plasticizers found in freshwater ecosystems and their impacts on two South African freshwater organisms at the organismal and ...

Sedimentary Ancient DNA Tracks Multi-Kingdom Ecosystem Reorganizations Following Sequential Human Land Use at Crawford Lake. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Crawford Lake has an exceptional stratigraphic record that began recording biannual (varved) sedimentation in the lake basin ~750 years ago, preserving evidence of shifting cultural zones and agricultural practices, from Late Woodland Period Indigenous agriculturalists to the impacts of industrialization during the late 19th century.

First report of freshwater atyid shrimp, Caridina formosae (Decapoda: Caridea) as a host of ectosymbiotic branchiobdellidan, Holtodrilus truncatus (Annelida, Citellata)

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2020
In recent years, ornamental shrimps gained increasing popularity in the aquarium trade. Unfortunately, they are potential vectors of epibionts, which may be unintentionally introduced to aquaria with imported shrimps. This contribution presents the first
