Water availability and quality determine temporal synchrony and beta diversity of microcrustaceans in temporary pools

Freshwater Science, 2022
Beta diversity patterns have been frequently used to investigate metacommunity structure. The metacommunity concept has focused primarily on the spatial beta component, but part of the unaccounted variation is likely associated with temporal beta ...

Aquatic invertebrate communities of ombrotrophic bogs in Ireland with special reference to microcrustaceans

Biology and Environment: Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy, 2022
:ABSTRACTThe contribution of ombrotrophic bogs to regional biodiversity is sometimes underestimated. Due to their acidic and nutrient-poor nature they present a unique and challenging environment for the fauna.

Alpha and beta diversity of planktonic microcrustaceans are associated with environmental heterogeneity in the Frades River Basin, Brazil

Studies on Neotropical Fauna and Environment, 2021
Plankton in rivers are good indicators of water quality and their study along the longitudinal axis allows for understanding the interactions between natural and anthropogenic variations and diversity at different spatial scales.

The biology and ecology of lotic microcrustaceans

Freshwater Biology, 2000
SUMMARY 1. Copepoda, Ostracoda and ‘Cladocera‘ are important meiobenthic Crustacea which can be both numerically abundant and species rich in running waters. Harpacticoids and ostracods are well adapted to benthic life because they are typical crawlers, walkers, and burrowers.

Microcrustacean metacommunities in urban temporary ponds

Aquatic Sciences, 2019
Microcrustaceans have a series of adaptations that allow their development in temporary aquatic environments. The colonization and consequent structuring of the communities in these systems is influenced by several environmental and spatial factors. Among them, urbanization is one of the important structuring factors of these communities. Metacommunity

Distribution of Epibenthic Microcrustaceans in Nearshore Lake Michigan

Freshwater Invertebrate Biology, 1985
Epibenthic distributions at depths of 11, 17, and 23 m in nearshore Lake Michigan were investigated by sampling the sediments and water column on a monthly basis from May to November 1977. The taxa with a greater portion of the population occurring in/near the sediments than in the water column were Acanthocyclops vernalis, cyclopoid copepodids IV-V ...

Effects of ashes from grassland burning in the Paraná River floodplain on aquatic microcrustaceans

Ecología Austral
 The burning of grasslands is a widespread practice in many landscapes, yet it has complex and multifaceted effects on natural ecosystems. In regions such as the Middle Paraná River floodplain, the frequency and intensity of wildfires have increased ...

Removal of excess chlorazol black stains from microcrustacean specimens

Crustaceana, 2020
Abstract The preparation of specimens is a crucial aspect of zoological studies. Some specific study techniques or certain taxonomic groups require staining processes. However, an excessive exposure to the staining agents can turn a specimen improper for morphological studies.

Substantial unrealised global biodiversity of continental microcrustaceans

Journal of Plankton Research
Abstract Freshwater ecosystems provide essential services for human well-being, with their conservation success reliant on the precise quantification of biodiversity. Diplostraca (= Cladocera) and Copepoda are diverse groups of microcrustaceans in aquatic ecosystems, important for a multitude of these services.
