Overlooked cryptic endemism in copepods: Systematics and natural history of the calanoid subgenus Occidodiaptomus Borutzky 1991 (Copepoda, Calanoida, Diaptomidae) [PDF]
, 2013 Our comprehension of the phylogeny and diversity of most inland–water crustaceans is currently hampered by their pronounced morphological bradytely, which contributed to the affirmation of the ‘‘Cosmopolitanism Paradigm’’ of freshwater taxa.

Environmental heterogeneity in wetlands increases alpha and beta diversity of cladocerans (Crustacea, Branchiopoda) at local and regional scale [PDF]
Acta Limnologica Brasiliensia: Aim The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of habitat heterogeneity on diversity on a local and regional scale. We tested two hypotheses: (i) the habitat diversity, given by quantity of microhabitat by macrophytes richness, increases the

A New Reference Genome Assembly for the Microcrustacean Daphnia pulex
G3 Genes|Genomes|Genetics, 2017 Abstract Comparing genomes of closely related genotypes from populations with distinct demographic histories can help reveal the impact of effective population size on genome evolution. For this purpose, we present a high quality genome assembly of Daphnia pulex (PA42), and compare this with the first sequenced genome of this species ...

Occurrence of 'Antrobathynella stammeri' (Jakobi, 1954) (Crustacea: Syncarida: Bathynellidae) in the hyporheic zones of two English karst rivers [PDF]
, 2008 This paper reports the first records of Antrobathynella stammeri in the British Isles since 1985. Numerous individuals were observed in hyporheic water extracted from the River Skirfare (Yorkshire, UK), whilst, in an independent study, a single confirmed

Experimentos sobre a influência de Chaoborus brasiliensis (Diptera: Chaoboridae) sobre a migração vertical de microcrustáceos do Lago Monte Alegre, Brasil [PDF]
The aim of this work was to evaluate whether diel vertical migration of microcrustaceans from Lake Monte Alegre is related to invertebrate predators, namely larvae of Chaoborus brasiliensis. The hypothesis tested in the experiments was that the migratory

Invasive goldfish trigger a regime shift in experimental lake ecosystems of varying trophic state
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.The pet trade distributes exotic animals around the globe that enrich human lives. However, some pets become pests when released into the wild. This study provides experimental evidence that goldfish will negatively affect native freshwater organisms and ecosystems.
