The reach of road salt into vernal pools and the response of amphibians. [PDF]
PLoS ONEDeicing salts are causing freshwater wetlands to become increasingly saline near roadways, with cascading impacts on local ecosystems. Understanding the full reach of salt into surrounding landscapes can inform the decisions made every winter about ...

New Gynandromorph Records for Chirocephalus diaphanus (Branchiopoda, Anostraca, Chirocephalidae)
Zoodiversity, 2021 We report and describe new Chirocephalus diaphanus gynandromorphs from Tunisia and review the literature of anostracan gynandromorphy and other, possibly associated, somatic aberrations, with comments on their evolutionary significance.

Fairy Shrimp (Branchiopoda: Anostraca) of Chile [PDF]
Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2008 Abstract Portions of Chile were surveyed for Anostraca. Including the two species of Artemia previously reported from Chile, we found 5 new localities and range extensions for 5 species of Branchinecta. Previous studies on Chilean Anostraca have focused on Artemia, and although Branchinecta was previously reported in Antarctica close to Chilean Air ...

Maternal investment influences expression of resource polymorphism in amphibians: implications for the evolution of novel resource-use phenotypes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Maternal effects--where an individual's phenotype is influenced by the phenotype or environment of its mother--are taxonomically and ecologically widespread. Yet, their role in the origin of novel, complex traits remains unclear.

Oceanological and Hydrobiological Studies, 2023 Large branchiopods is a group of poorly understood crustaceans which is highly threatened by the impact of human activities. Currently, their protection is difficult due to large deficiencies in documentation of their places of occurrence and not well ...

Complete mitochondrial genomes of three fairy shrimps from snowmelt pools in Japan
BMC Zoology, 2022 Background Fairy shrimps belong to order Anostraca, class Branchiopoda, subphylum Crustacea, and phylum Arthropoda. Three fairy shrimp species (Eubranchipus uchidai, E. asanumai, and E. hatanakai) that inhabit snowmelt pools are currently known in Japan.

Detection of bacterial endosymbionts in freshwater crustaceans: the applicability of non-degenerate primers to amplify the bacterial 16S rRNA gene [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Bacterial endosymbionts of aquatic invertebrates remain poorly studied. This is at least partly due to a lack of suitable techniques and primers for their identification. We designed a pair of non-degenerate primers which enabled us to amplify a fragment
