Keystone Predation: What Is It, and Is It Supported by Empirical Evidence? [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
Keystone predation has been widely cited as a key ecological mechanism controlling community structures, but is supported by limited theoretical and experimental studies. Reviewing these studies showed keystone predation has been documented across realms, appears to be most prevalent in sessile and dispersal‐limited communities and can be modified by ...

Ecological and Genetic Insights Into Antarctic Fairy Shrimp, Branchinecta gaini Daday, 1910 (Branchiopoda: Anostraca) Populations on King George Island, Antarctica

open access: yesFreshwater Biology
ABSTRACT The Antarctic fairy shrimp (Branchinecta gaini) is the largest inland animal in Antarctica and a key component of its freshwater ecosystems. Despite its broad distribution, little is known about its population structure, habitat tolerance, and potential vulnerability to climate change. This study investigated the occurrence, genetic structure,

A first comprehensive dataset of the large branchiopods (Branchiopoda, Anostraca, Notostraca, Laevicaudata, Spinicaudata, Cyclestherida) of India [PDF]

open access: yesBiodiversity Data Journal
Large branchiopod crustaceans play a crucial ecological and economic role as flagship species in temporary aquatic habitats. With less than 10% of the global fauna identified in the Indian subcontinent, it is essential to conduct comprehensive research ...

Rearing Fairy Shrimp in the Laboratory1 [PDF]

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, 1971
A complex food (dilute duff infusion, yeast, and two species of algae) was found to be highly satisfactory in rearing the anostracan Eubranchipus bundyi. Yeast alone could be used to culture this species but monoxenic algal cultures were inadequate diets.

Potential development of fairy shrimp Streptocephalus spp. as aquaculture live feed in Indonesia

open access: yes, 2020
The use of fairy shrimp (Streptocephalus spp.) as a live feed for aquaculture is not well-known in Indonesia. On top of that, fairy shrimp mostly portrayed incorrectly in Indonesia as an unwanted creature and should be prevented in fish ponds.

On some morphological abnormalities in adult fairy shrimp Branchipus schaefferi Fischer, 1834, from Serbia [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Biological Sciences, 2013
Branchipus schaefferi Fischer, 1834, is a common and one of the most abundant large branchiopods widely distributed in Europe. In this work, for the first time, we describe and classify some of the most frequently observed morphological ...

The effect of fairy shrimp “branchoneta” (Dendrocephalus brasiliensis) as the initial diet of tambaqui postlarvae

open access: yesActa Scientiarum: Animal Sciences, 2021
The effect of fairy shrimp “branchoneta” as the first exogenous feed for tambaqui postlarvae was evaluated. A hundred and eighty larvae were distributed in 12 aquariums, containing 1.5L of water and the stocking density was 10 larvae per liter.

Mating Patterns and Speciation in the Fairy Shrimp Genus Streptocephalus [PDF]

open access: yesEvolution, 1979
According to a recent paradigm of the speciation process presented by Ayala (1975), geographic speciation often occurs in two stages. In the first stage isolated populations accumulate genetic differences which may reduce the genetic compatibility between populations. In the second stage the isolated populations regain sympatry. If hybrids have reduced

Feeding patterns in Eubranchipus grubii (Dybowski 1860) (Branchiopoda: Anostraca) and its potential influence on the phytoplankton communities of vernal pools

open access: yesJournal of Limnology, 2018
Filtration patterns in the fairy shrimp Eubranchipus grubii were analysed under laboratory conditions using water containing phytoplankton from their actual locality in western Poland.
