Are the littoral zone conditions suitable for tropical planktonic microcrustaceans [PDF]
Annales de Limnologie - International Journal of Limnology, 2017 The occupation of the littoral and limnetic zones by planktonic species has led to questions about whether littoral macrophytes would be a suitable habitat or refuge. These questions guided our field and laboratory studies on the spatial occupation and the food suitability for microcrustaceans of a shallow tropical lake.

A naturally heterogeneous landscape can effectively slow down the dispersal of aquatic microcrustaceans [PDF]
Oecologia, 2016 Several studies have suggested that aquatic microcrustaceans are relatively efficient dispersers in a variety of landscapes, whereas others have indicated dispersal limitation at large spatial scales or under specific circumstances. Based on a survey of a set of recently created ponds in an area of approximately 18 × 25 km, we found multiple ...

Dietary resilience of coral reef fishes to habitat degradation. [PDF]
J Anim EcolMetabarcoding of gut contents shows that two common benthic‐feeding reef fishes with different feeding stratgies—a butterflyfish (Chaetodon capistratus) and a hamlet (Hypoplectrus puella)—shift diets on degraded reefs. These shifts mirror contrasting patterns in body condition: butterflyfish showed strong individual variation, whereas condition was ...

Ecotoxicological Evaluation of Organic Sunscreens Used Worldwide, Alone and in Mixture, on Terrestrial Plants. [PDF]
Environ ToxicolABSTRACT The environmental hazards of sunscreens are discussed worldwide. However, there are few ecotoxicological studies on these compounds alone for edaphic organisms, and none for their mixtures. Avobenzone (1 and 10 ng/L), octocrylene (10 and 100 μg/L), and oxybenzone (2 and 20 μg/L), alone and in binary combinations (between the lowest and the ...

New records of Harpacticoids (Crustacea, Copepoda) from a coastal system of northern Colombia
Revista Peruana de Biología, 2022 Three species of harpacticoids are herein recorded from the zooplankton of Rodadero beach, Santa Marta, Magdalena, Colombia. Samples were collected from the littoral zone, mainly at inshore areas covered by mangrove vegetation and in an adjacent oyster ...

Freshwater microcrustaceans of Hispaniola: new records and potential as biological control agents
Limnetica, 2023 Some species of freshwater microcrustaceans have been widely used for biological control of mosquito larval populations. These zooplankton communities play an important role against some species of mosquitoes by exerting competitive pressure or predation.
