Origins and dispersal of the Antarctic fairy shrimp
Antarctic Science, 2009AbstractPassive dispersal has traditionally formed a fundamental component of biogeographical theories of the origin of the fauna that occupy the ice-free habitats of mainland Antarctica. But in the context of an emerging picture of endemism for many Antarctic terrestrial invertebrates, is there still a place for such stochastic processes in Antarctic ...

Evolution of Egg Size Strategies in Fairy Shrimps
The Southwestern Naturalist, 1977Differences exist among fairy shrimps in the size of the eggs they develop. Large eggs that hatch into big larvae probably evolved in the relatively predictable melt-pond environment as a result of selection against small size by invertebrate predators.

Aeromonas hydrophila causes ‘black disease' in fairy shrimps (Anostraca; Crustacea)
Journal of Fish Diseases, 1998AbstractA total of 51 bacterial strains were isolated from fairy shrimps [Branchipus schaefferi (Fisher), Chirocephalus diaphanus (Prévost) and Streptocephalus torvicornis (Waga)] showing signs of ‘black disease'. The fairy shrimps showed black nodules on the thoracic appendages, the cercopods, the antennae and sometimes at the back of the head.

A New Fairy Shrimp Belonging to the Genus Pristicephalus
American Midland Naturalist, 1936Head very little compressed, front unarmed. Lower antennae of male biarticulate; basal articulation frequently bladder-like, on top side near the base is a serriform appendage, its margin spiny, distal end gradually attenuates; apical joint frequently possesses at its inside base a smooth, nearly straight process without a bend.

Feeding behaviour in the Antarctic fairy shrimp, Branchinecta gaini
Polar Biology, 2008Direct observations of feeding behaviour in Branchinecta gaini are described. B. gaini possess sophisticated food manipulation behaviours, using their abdominal appendages to ‘scrape’ at and carry away food items. Scraping behaviour was employed by animals for both detrital feeding and the cannibalisation of dead conspecifics.

Mating Behavior in the Streptocephalus Fairy Shrimps (Crustacea: Anostraca)
The Southwestern Naturalist, 1981Mating behavior in the Streptocephalus fairy shrimps consists of the following behavior patterns: detection and orientation, station taking, clasping, intromission, and disengagement. Since males have low parental investment in their offspring and since males must compete for receptive females, sexual selection should favor males which mate with ...

Hydrobiologia, 2012
Australia, and especially South-Western Australia, is a diversity hotspot for large branchiopod crustaceans. A significant proportion of this diversity is found in the anostracans (Crustacea, Anostraca) and particularly in the diverse genus Branchinella with at least 34 species.

New World Fairy Shrimps of the Genus Streptocephalus (Branchiopoda, Anostraca)
The Southwestern Naturalist, 1966A review of the characteristics, taxonomic status, and distribution of the genus Streptocephalus in the Western Hemisphere is presented. Seven species are recognized including S. mackini and S. linderi, described as new. A key is included. Creaser's review (1930) of New World fairy shrimps of the genus Streptocephalus listed three species from North ...
