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

Uncovering ultrastructural defences in Daphnia magna--an interdisciplinary approach to assess the predator-induced fortification of the carapace. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The development of structural defences, such as the fortification of shells or exoskeletons, is a widespread strategy to reduce predator attack efficiency. In unpredictable environments these defences may be more pronounced in the presence of a predator.

VIII. On the feeding mechanism of the Branchiopoda : Appendix on the Mouth Parts of the Branchiopoda [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Containing Papers of a Biological Character, 1932 Abstract FOREWORD. Some years ago Dr. Tate Regan suggested to me that a study of the hyoid region of the tailless Amphibia would be of value. This paper is the outcome of that suggestion. It was begun when I was Gilchrist Research Scholar in Zoology at King’s College of Household and Social Science (1 9 2 5 -2 6 and 1 9 2 7 -2 8 ...
