Solar Salterns and Pollution: Valorization of Some Endemic Species as Sentinels in Ecotoxicology [PDF]
Toxics, 2023 Solar salterns and salt marshes are unique ecosystems with special physicochemical features and characteristic biota. Currently, there are very few studies focused on the impacts of pollution on these economic and ecological systems.

First Record of <i>Triops cancriformis</i> (Branchiopoda: Notostraca) in Qatar: Its Origin and Range Expansion Inferred From Genetics, Morphology, and Reproduction. [PDF]
Ecol EvolFirst record of Triops cancriformis is reported in Qatar using genetic, morphological, and reproductive data. The closest relative of this population is found in Germany. Dispersal of propagules is believed to be via avian seasonal migration. ABSTRACT The presence of Triops cancriformis has not been broadly reported outside Europe or North Africa ...

Impact on Plankton Communities Following Abandonment of Rice Cultivation and Biotope Creation. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study clarified changes in plankton communities during the first year of fallow in long‐term cultivated paddy fields in Kyoto. These fields were in a fallow state, with no planting, cultivation, or fertilization occurring. When water was introduced at the same time of year as during active use and the fields were converted into biotopes, diversity

Environmental RNA-Based Metatranscriptomics as a Novel Biomonitoring Tool: A Case Study of Glyphosate-Based Herbicide Effects on Freshwater Eukaryotic Communities. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Traditional morphology‐ and molecular‐based biodiversity surveys provide essential information on species composition and diversity, but they rarely provide information about the physiological states of organisms, which are key indicators of ecosystem health.

Life-history omnivory in the fairy shrimp Branchinecta orientalis (Branchiopoda: Anostraca)
Hydrobiologia, 2023 Very little is known about the feeding of naupliar and juvenile life stages of omnivorous fairy shrimps (Crustacea: Anostraca). Here, we aim to reveal whether the fairy shrimp Branchinecta orientalis is an ontogenetic omnivore and at which age and ...
