Selective plankton feeding by the coregonid ”bondella” (Coregonus sp.) of Lake Maggiore [Translation from: Translation from: Memorie dell'Istituto Italiano di Idrobiologia Dott.Marco de Marchi 31 181-203, 1974] [PDF]

, 1979
In recent times, some specialists have begun to study the subject of food selection of fish in an organized way, thus highlighting its importance. In the present work, the author intends to evaluate the impact of predation on the eupelagic zooplanktonic ...

Choreographed swimming of copepod nauplii [PDF]

Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2015
Small metazoan paddlers, such as crustacean larvae (nauplii), are abundant, ecologically important and active swimmers, which depend on exploiting viscous forces for locomotion. The physics of micropaddling at low Reynolds number was investigated using a model of swimming based on slender-body theory for Stokes flow.

The Molecular Basis of Growth Control in Guanine Crystals

Small, EarlyView.
Precise control over guanine crystal morphology is achieved through biologically inspired, facet‐selective interactions. Simple synthetic polymers tune growth from prisms to needles and plate‐like biogenic forms by modulating multivalency, polarity, and functional‐group identity.

Ecotoxicological Evaluation of Organic Sunscreens Used Worldwide, Alone and in Mixture, on Terrestrial Plants

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The environmental hazards of sunscreens are discussed worldwide. However, there are few ecotoxicological studies on these compounds alone for edaphic organisms, and none for their mixtures. Avobenzone (1 and 10 ng/L), octocrylene (10 and 100 μg/L), and oxybenzone (2 and 20 μg/L), alone and in binary combinations (between the lowest and the ...

The influence of environmental stability and upwelling variation on copepod diversity in the Humboldt Current System off Chile

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
The Humboldt Current System (HCS) is a highly dynamic upwelling system implying a strongly variable environment for zooplankton inhabiting the coastal zone.

Viability of subitaneous eggs of the copepod, Acartia tonsa (Dana), following exposure to various cryoprotectants and hypersaline water [PDF]

, 2009
Subitaneous eggs were obtained from monocultures of the calanoid copepod Acartia tonsa (Dana), Gulf of Mexico strain. Eggs were exposed to methanol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerine, and DMSO at 0.0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 5.0 M and ...

Effects of Glyphosate on the Planktonic Microbiota: An Experimental Approach

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glyphosate is one of the most widely used herbicides in the world, including in Brazil, and its dispersion through habitats and surface waters can impact entire aquatic ecosystems. However, experimental studies evaluating the effects of pesticides on whole planktonic communities, considering attributes such as richness, density and composition—

Monsoon effects on the copepod community structure in the Chabahar Bay, Oman Sea

International Journal of Aquatic Biology, 2015
Calanoid, cyclopoid, harpacticoid and poecilostomatoid copepods were investigated over the year at five stations in the Chabahar Bay, Oman Sea. This area is under the influence of the Indian Ocean seasonal monsoons.

Possible Role of Fish and Frogs as Paratenic Hosts of Dracunculus medinensis, Chad

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2016
Copepods infected with Dracunculus medinensis larvae collected from infected dogs in Chad were fed to 2 species of fish and tadpoles. Although they readily ingested copepods, neither species of fish, Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) nor fathead ...
