Novel Methods in Cladoceran Size Structure Analysis Reveal ~60 Years of Trophic Change in a Sediment Core From a Great Lakes Area of Concern (Bay of Quinte, Lake Ontario)

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Nutrient loading, aquatic invasive species, and climate warming have altered food web dynamics in the Great Lakes. Long‐term data are required to characterise the response of the lower food web to multiple environmental drivers and develop trophic indicators for future research and management efforts.

Identification key for the Brazilian genera and species of Aloninae (Crustacea, Branchiopoda, Anomopoda, Chydoridae)

open access: yesPapéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2019
Since early 2000 years, the knowledge about the taxonomy of Aloninae (Cladocera: Chydoridae) has been in rapid progress. For this reason, the most of Brazilian fauna was affected concerning nomenclature, besides an increase in the number of known genera ...

Mesozoic fossils (>145 Mya) suggest the antiquity of the subgenera of Daphniaand their coevolution with chaoborid predators [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background The timescale of the origins of Daphnia O. F. Mueller (Crustacea: Cladocera) remains controversial. The origin of the two main subgenera has been associated with the breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea.

Using fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the animal diet of black rails, yellow rails, and soras

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue 3, September 2025.
We used fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the diet of yellow rails, Eastern black rails, and sora during the non‐breeding season. Arthropods, particularly ants, were prevalent in their diets, suggesting possible interactions with invasive red imported fire ants.

Artemia Enrichment Strategies: A Comprehensive Review of Nutritional Enhancements With Emphasis on Fatty Acid Profiles in Aquatic Species

open access: yesReviews in Aquaculture, Volume 17, Issue 4, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Artemia (brine shrimp) is a foundational live feed in global aquaculture, renowned for its adaptability, ease of production, and favorable nutritional profile. However, in its natural state, Artemia contains suboptimal levels of highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFAs), particularly docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA ...

Three's a crowd: The relationship among endoparasites, an epibiont and their Daphnia host

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2025, Issue 8, August 2025.
In freshwater communities, organisms interact in a variety of ways, including predation, competition and parasitism. Parasites are ubiquitous, playing an important role in shaping freshwater communities. Endoparasites live within internal organs of their host, while ectoparasites, also known as epibionts, are confined to the external part of the host's

Impact of CO2‐Induced Aquatic Acidification on Environmental DNA and RNA Shedding and Persistence

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 4, July–August 2025.
We conducted mesocosm experiments to determine the shedding and decay rate constants of eDNA and eRNA in Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) at various partial CO2 pressures in seawater. To our knowledge, this is the first study manipulating seawater pH using CO2.

Sedimentary DNA Metabarcoding and Indigenous Knowledge Reconstruct Natural and Anthropogenic Disturbances to a Freshwater Lake in the Oil Sands Region of Alberta, Canada

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 4, July–August 2025.
The study uses environmental DNA embedded in lake sediment cores to reconstruct historical community composition of eukaryotic functional trophic groups. Cowpar Lake is located in the Athabasca Oil Sands region that has experienced natural and anthropogenic impacts.
