Evaluation of Dry Feed Formulations for Culturing the Commercial Fairy Shrimp Streptocephalus sirindhornae [PDF]

Biology
This study evaluated locally available dry feed formulations (FFs) as practical alternatives to fresh Chlorella sp. for culturing the freshwater fairy shrimp Streptocephalus sirindhornae. Seven dietary treatments were evaluated, including fresh Chlorella

A draft reference genome of the Vernal Pool Fairy Shrimp, Branchinecta lynchi. [PDF]

J Hered, 2023
AbstractWe present the reference genome of the Vernal Pool Fairy Shrimp Branchinecta lynchi. This branchiopod crustacean is endemic to California’s freshwater ephemeral ponds. It faces enormous habitat loss and fragmentation as urbanization and agriculture have fundamentally changed the vernal pool landscape over the past 3 centuries.

Range-wide phylogeographic structure of the vernal pool fairy shrimp (Branchinecta lynchi). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Wetland habitats across the world are experiencing rapid modification and loss due to accelerating habitat conversion. Impacts to wetland habitats are particularly acute in California where up to 90% of wetland habitats have been modified or lost. Vernal

The Physiological Benefits and Economic Value of Using Fairy Shrimp as Fish Meal for Flowerhorn Cichlids; Amphilophus citrinellus (Günther, 1864) × Cichlasoma trimaculatum (Günther, 1867)

Fishes
The aim of this study was to evaluate the utilization of fairy shrimp (Branchinella thailandensis) meal in the diets of flowerhorn cichlids, on their growth, skin coloration, carotenoid content, antioxidant activity, and innate immunity.

Factor in Fear: Interference Competition in Polymorphic Spadefoot Toad Tadpoles and Its Potential Role in Disruptive Selection [PDF]

Animals, 2023
Disruptive selection arises when extreme phenotypes have a fitness advantage compared to more-intermediate phenotypes. Theory and evidence suggest that intraspecific resource competition is a key driver of disruptive selection. However, while competition

LC-DAD-MSⁿ and HR-LC-QTOF Analysis of Ziziphus budhensis Leaves and Evaluation of Their In Vitro and In Vivo Biological Activities. [PDF]

Chem Biodivers
ABSTRACT Ziziphus budhensis Bhattarai & M.L. Pathak is a specie described in 2015 in Nepal poorly studied for its phytochemical composition and possible bioactivities. In this study, six extracts were obtained from Z. budhensis leaves using ultrasound assisted extraction with solvents in increasing polarity namely hexane, dichloromethane, chloroform ...

Intraspecific differences in hatching phenology of the fairy shrimp Chirocephalus diaphanus Prévost, 1803 (Crustacea, Anostraca) in relation to habitat duration

Journal of Limnology, 2004
The influence of environmental characteristics on hatching phenology in the fairy shrimp Chirocephalus diaphanus Prévost, 1803 was investigated by comparing the hatching behaviour of two populations living in mountain pasture pools differing in size and ...
