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 ...

Paleolimnology and resurrection ecology: The future of reconstructing the past
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

Uncovering ultrastructural defences in Daphnia magna--an interdisciplinary approach to assess the predator-induced fortification of the carapace. [PDF]
The development of structural defences, such as the fortification of shells or exoskeletons, is a widespread strategy to reduce predator attack efficiency. In unpredictable environments these defences may be more pronounced in the presence of a predator.

Temporary ponds are the most peculiar and representative water bodies in the arid and semi-arid regions of the world, where they often represent diversity hotspots that greatly contribute to the regional biodiversity.

HotSHOT Extraction Is a Fast, Economical, and Efficient Method for Obtaining Tardigrade gDNA
Among the main problems in obtaining genomic DNA (gDNA) from small invertebrates such as tardigrades are the low amount of gDNA obtained per specimen, as well as the complexity of steps and number of reagents used for gDNA extraction. For example, the extraction method with chelating resin is the most used as an alternative to commercial kits for ...

Discriminating between the effects of founding events and reproductive mode on the genetic structure of Triops populations (Branchiopoda: Notostraca). [PDF]
Crustaceans that initially colonize a freshwater temporary pond can strongly bias the subsequent genetic composition of the population, causing nearby populations to be genetically distinct.

Large branchiopods are one of the most iconic species groups in temporary pools. Due to their specific biology and massive habitat degradation, they are one of the most threatened freshwater species groups.
