Genome architecture evolution in an invasive copepod species complex [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsChromosomal fusions are hypothesized to facilitate evolutionary adaptation, but empirical evidence has been scarce. Here, we analyze chromosome-level genome sequences of three sibling species within the copepod Eurytemora affinis species complex, known ...

Antioxidant Responses in Copepods Are Driven Primarily by Food Intake, Not by Toxin-Producing Cyanobacteria in the Diet [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 The association between oxidative processes and physiological responses has received much attention in ecotoxicity assessment. In the Baltic Sea, bloom-forming cyanobacterium Nodularia spumigena is a significant producer of various bioactive compounds ...

Evolutionary mechanisms of habitat invasions, using the copepod Eurytemora affinis as a model system. [PDF]
Evol Appl, 2016 AbstractThe study of the copepodEurytemora affinishas provided unprecedented insights into mechanisms of invasive success. In this invited review, I summarize a subset of work from my laboratory to highlight key insights gained from studyingE. affinisas a model system.

Life-history responses to changing temperature and salinity of the Baltic Sea copepod Eurytemora affinis. [PDF]
Mar Biol, 2018 To understand the effects of predicted warming and changing salinity of marine ecosystems, it is important to have a good knowledge of species vulnerability and their capacity to adapt to environmental changes. In spring and autumn of 2014, we conducted common garden experiments to investigate how different populations of the copepod Eurytemora affinis

Spring resting egg production of the calanoid copepod, Eurytemora affinis, in a freshet-dominated estuary. [PDF]
J Plankton ResAbstract Seasonal peaks in river discharge, such as snowmelt-dominated freshets, are predictable events that can have a large effect on flushing rates and salinity in estuaries. Resting eggs, which many coastal and estuarine copepods produce for overwintering or aestivation, could also serve to bridge predictable peaks in river discharge.
