Aquatic Biodiversity of the Pampa Biome: Insights From a Scientometric and Systematic Perspective
ABSTRACT The Pampa biome, in South America, covers parts of Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina. Its main characteristic is the predominance of grassland areas. The Pampa biome supports high biological diversity and a wide variety of ecosystems. In this study, we provide a comprehensive overview of biodiversity studies focusing on freshwater ecosystems of ...

ABSTRACT Paludomidae is a diverse family of limnic gastropods in the Cerithioidea, with a distribution range including most of tropical sub‐Saharan Africa, the Nile Valley, Madagascar, the Seychelles, as well as South and Southeast Asia. Its systematics and taxonomy are currently in a state of confusion, with Thailand being inhabited by probably two ...

A new species of laevicaudatan branchiopods, Lynceus insularis sp. nov., is described. It is reported from five sinkholes (dolines) in the southern part of New Caledonia. Lynceus insularis sp. nov. is closest to Lynceus species from Australia, but can be

Spatial habitat partitioning enables coexistence of three Gobiidae species in estuarine environments
Abstract This study examines resource partitioning (feeding morphology, diet and habitat partitioning) among three gobiid species, the Knysna sandgoby Psammogobius knysnaensis, the prison goby Caffrogobius gilchristi and the river goby Glossogobius callidus, within an estuarine environment.

Observations on Phallocryptus spinosa (Branchiopoda, Anostraca) populations from the high plateaus of Northeastern Algeria [PDF]
Phallocryptus spinosa (Thamnocephalidae) is a small primitive crustacean which lives in temporary saline pools of the Palaearctic region called Chott, Sebkha, Garâa or Daya in North Africa. Data on its biology and life history are very scarce despite its

LTR-retrotransposons in R. exoculata and other crustaceans [PDF]
Transposable elements are major constituents of eukaryote genomes and have a great impact on genome structure and stability. They can contribute to the genetic diversity and evolution of organisms. Knowledge of their distribution among several genomes is

Detection and succession properties of forested vernal pools with eDNA metabarcoding
We examined the capacity of environmental DNA metabarcoding for studying biodiversity of forested vernal pools, using multiple assays to investigate different eukaryotic communities over space and time. Our results suggest that metabarcoding can serve as a complementary tool for ‘scaling up’ vernal pool biodiversity monitoring, illuminating ecological ...

Serotonin immunoreactive interneurons in the brain of the Remipedia: new insights into the phylogenetic affinities of an enigmatic crustacean taxon [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Remipedia, a group of homonomously segmented, cave-dwelling, eyeless arthropods have been regarded as basal crustaceans in most early morphological and taxonomic studies.

Abstract Variability in resource use within populations of free‐ranging animals can influence demographic and evolutionary processes. Yet in many ecological systems, the extent of intra‐population variation in the resources that animals consume and the environmental factors that contribute to this variance remain poorly understood. For example, dietary
