Species assemblages of zooplanktonic crustaceans in mountain shallow ponds of Chile (Parque Cañi)
Even though the Chilean lakes are characterized by their oligotrophy, a transition from oligotrophy to mesotrophy, due human intervention, has been reported in some lakes.

New species of Boeckella (Copepoda: Calanoida)
The new species, Boeckella bispinosa, is described and figured from Tasmanian material. The male fifth legs of B. opaqua Fairbridge, a Western Australian species, are figured and the original description supplemented. The female genital segment of B. pseudocheZae Searle is figured. New records of B. symmetrica Sars, B. minuta Sars, and B.

Calanoid copepods are abundant in South American inland waters and include widespread species, such as Boeckella gracilipes (Daday, 1902), which occurs from the Ecuador to Tierra del Fuego Island. This species occurs under various environmental conditions, and is found in oligotrophic lakes in Patagonia (39-54°S) and in shallow mountain lakes north of ...

Livingston Island is the second largest island of the South Shetland Archipelago, Maritime Antarctica. Freshwater fauna in the area is scarcely studied. Previous records are limited and include habitats, which are free of permanent ice or snow cover during the austral summer.

Ephemeral salt lakes in arid Australia contain hidden macroinvertebrate biodiversity in sediment egg banks, but traditional artificial rehydration surveys may miss taxa with specific or poorly understood hatching requirements. This study found that sugar‐flotation followed by DNA metabarcoding greatly improved detection of resting‐stage taxa compared ...

Abstract Regulation and water extraction change flow regimes in lowland rivers, affecting ecosystem functions and wetting patterns of riverbanks. River connectivity to lateral environments is crucial for organic matter cycling and the life cycles of diapausing microinvertebrates. While extreme hydraulic periods (floods and cease‐flow) are well‐studied,

ABSTRACT Aim To integrate the historical and contemporary connectivity of Branchinecta gaini (B. gaini), in order to better predict future distribution changes within its fragmented, dynamic and isolated habitat range. Location The study covers 20 locations of freshwater ecosystems across B.

ABSTRACT We carried out short‐term field experiments (duration 1–3 days) to study the impact of predation by natural densities of Boeckella major on zooplankton in Australian ephemeral billabongs (oxbow lakes). Predation reduced total zooplankton densities by 33.6%–91.9%.

Potential heterogeneity in crustacean zooplankton assemblages in southern chilean saline lakes
The Chilean saline lakes are distributed mainly in the Atacama desert in northern Chile and the southern Patagonian plains. The scarce studies are restricted mainly to northern Chilean saline lakes, and these revealed that the main component in these ...
