Two microcrustaceans affect microbial and macroinvertebrate‐driven litter breakdown [PDF]
Freshwater Biology, 2017 1. Leaf litter degradation in fresh waters is a fundamental ecosystem process performed by a wide array of decomposers. The meiofauna is an important component of aquatic heterotrophic assemblages, which can provide a trophic link between plant detritus ...

Microcrustaceans in rice fields: A scientometric analysis from 1977 to 2019
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022 We evaluated the worldwide trends in studies of the active and dormant forms of microcrustaceans in rice fields, and the potential of this environment as a stock of diversity through a scientometric analysis.

Trends in freshwater microcrustaceans studies in Brazil between 1990 and 2014 [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2016 This study presents a review of scientiometric data about freshwater microcrustaceans (Copepoda, Ostracoda, Branchiopoda: Cladocera, Anostraca, Notostraca and Conchostraca) in Brazil from 1990-2014.

Freshwater microcrustaceans (Copepoda: Cyclopidae) on islands: a review
Hydrobiologia, 2022 Little is known about the insular diversity and its determinants in the freshwater invertebrates in comparison to land animals. Our goal is to obtain global-scale information on the insular diversity in Cyclopidae, test its relationships with the ...

Non-predatory mortality of planktonic microcrustaceans (Cladocera and Copepoda) in neotropical semiarid reservoirs [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021 The accuracy of traditional methods to sample planktonic microcrustaceans depends on two assumptions: that organisms are alive during sampling and that all carcasses can be identified despite their degradation state, but fresh carcasses are not easy to ...

Top-down control of planktonic ciliates by microcrustacean predators is stronger in lakes than in the ocean [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Planktonic ciliates are major components of pelagic food webs in both marine and freshwaters. Their population dynamics are controlled ‘bottom-up’ by prey availability and ‘top-down’ by microcrustacean predators.

Terrestrial crustaceans (Arthropoda, Crustacea): taxonomic diversity, terrestrial adaptations, and ecological functions [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2023 Terrestrial crustaceans are represented by approximately 4,900 species from six main lineages. The diversity of terrestrial taxa ranges from a few genera in Cladocera and Ostracoda to about a third of the known species in Isopoda.
