Aquatic Biology, 2021 Sound is the most effective means of communication in marine and freshwater ecosystems. However, no data about acoustic emissions from non-malacostracan crustaceans are currently available, so their ability to produce sounds is unknown.

REVISION OF THE NEARCTIC LEPIDURUS (NOTOSTRACA) [PDF]
Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2001 Abstract Limited understanding of the morphological variation and genetics of the genus Lepidurus have caused confusion for workers attempting to determine North American species of this genus. In addition, preliminary culturing data suggests that food quality affects the form of structures previously used as specific characters.

Fauna Norvegica, 2021 The Arctic tadpole shrimp Lepidurus arcticus has a circumpolar distribution and the Scandes (Fennoscandian Mountains) marks its southernmost limit in Europe. Within this area, 391 natural and 88 regulated lakes with L.

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 1-15, March 2019., 2019 Genetic control methods for anopheline mosquitoes may reduce their populations without direct effects on other species or the physical environment; indirect effects on predators or competitors may be of concern. The vast majority of Anopheles gambiae predators are broad generalists and consume many other insect species; there is no indication of a ...

Evidence for regional aeolian transport of freshwater micrometazoans in arid regions
Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 320-330, August 2018., 2018 Abstract While separated by large expanses of dry terrain unsuitable for aquatic biota, aridland waters possess high biodiversity. How aquatic micrometazoans disperse to, and colonize, these isolated ephemeral habitats are not well understood. We used a multi‐faceted approach including wind tunnel and rehydration experiments, and next‐generation ...

Journal of Basic and Applied Zoology, 2015 The present species Triops cancriformis simplex was not recorded in Taif and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia before. The present work is a confirmatory study to indicate the identity of this species in the ephemeral freshwater bodies in Taif, KSA and to ...

Ecosphere, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2018., 2018 Abstract Ecologists have been interested in understanding communities through the lens of specialists and generalists to predict species diversity and distribution patterns and to ameliorate worldwide declines in specialist species. Dispersal traits are assumed to be associated with specialization (specialists are weaker dispersers than generalists ...

Body size-related constraints on the movement behaviour of the arctic notostracan Lepidurus arcticus (Pallas, 1973) under laboratory conditions [PDF]
, 2016 The movement behaviour of individuals has long been acknowledged as a key determinant of species distribution in space and time. Information on benthic macroinvertebrates from aquatic habitats are still scant, however, and for polar species are virtually

Paleolimnology and resurrection ecology: The future of reconstructing the past
Evolutionary Applications, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 42-59, January 2018., 2018 Abstract Paleolimnologists have utilized lake sediment records to understand historical lake and landscape development, timing and magnitude of environmental change at lake, watershed, regional and global scales, and as historical datasets to target watershed and lake management. Resurrection ecologists have long recognized lake sediments as sources of
