Scaling of Extinction Time With Habitat Size in Experimental Populations. [PDF]

Ecol Lett
Theory predicts that extinction time scales with carrying capacity as either an exponential or power law. Extinction time in 35 laboratory populations was more consistent with a power law than exponential scaling. These have important implications to avoid underestimating extinction risk in natural and managed populations.

Thermal limits and preferences of large branchiopods (Branchiopoda: Anostraca and Spinicaudata) from temporary wetland arid zone systems.

Journal of Thermal Biology, 2021
Large branchiopods are specialist crustaceans adapted for life in temporary, thermally dynamic wetland ecosystems. Certain large branchiopod species are, however, restricted to specific temporary wetland types, exemplified by their physico-chemical and ...

Multilocus phylogenetics of smooth clam shrimps (Branchiopoda, Laevicaudata)

Zoologica Scripta, 2021
Laevicaudatan branchiopods, also called ‘smooth clam shrimps’ or ’pea shrimps’, are rare crustaceans found exclusively in temporary, small freshwater bodies, which stay dry most of the year.

Ecotoxicity Thresholds for Ametryn, Diuron, Hexazinone and Simazine in Fresh and Marine Waters [PDF]

, 2018
Triazine and urea herbicides are two groups of photosystem II inhibiting herbicides frequently detected in surface, ground and marine waters. Yet, there are few water quality guidelines for herbicides. Ecotoxicity thresholds (ETs) for ametryn, hexazinone

First evidence of underwater sounds emitted by the living fossils Lepidurus lubbocki and Triops cancriformis (Branchiopoda: Notostraca)

, 2021
Sound is the most effective means of communication in marine and freshwater ecosystems. However, no data about acoustic emissions from non-malacostracan crustaceans are currently available, so their ability to produce sounds is unknown.

Raman spectroscopic analysis of the composition of the clam-shrimp carapace (Branchiopoda: Laevicaudata, Spinicaudata, Cyclestherida): a dual calcium phosphate-calcium carbonate composition

Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2020
Clam shrimps constitute a paraphyletic group of bivalved branchiopod crustaceans that includes orders Laevicaudata, Spinicaudata, and Cyclestherida. The unique mineral content of the carapace, formed by molt retention in Spinicaudata and Cyclestherida,
