Ecology and distribution of large branchiopods (Crustacea, Branchiopoda, Anostraca, Notostraca, Laevicaudata, Spinicaudata) of the Eastern Cape Karoo, South Africa
A survey of the large branchiopod fauna of the Eastern Cape Karoo region of South Africa was undertaken to provide baseline biodiversity information in light of impending shale gas development activities in the region. Twenty-two waterbodies, including nine dams and thirteen natural depression wetlands, were sampled during November 2014 and April 2015. A total of 13 species belonging to four or...
متن کاملToxicity of Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis on the Nontarget Organisms Triops cancriformis, Branchipus schaefferi, Leptestheria dahalacensis (Crustacea: Branchiopoda: Notostraca, Anostraca, Spinicaudata)
In a blind and randomised study, early postlarval stages of the tadpole shrimp Triops cancriformis, the fairy shrimp Branchipus schaefferi, and the clam shrimp Leptestheria dahalacensis were exposed to different concentrations of a commonly available Bti suspension, equivalent to 0, 4.5 (recommended treatment concentration), 45, 450, and 4500 AA/l. No statistically significant correlations were...
متن کاملPhylogeny of Branchiopoda (Crustacea) – Character Evolution and Contribution of Uniquely Preserved Fossils
> Abstract Phylogeny of Branchiopoda (Crustacea) has received intensive attention the last decade and a widely accepted full resolution of the relationships between the major branchiopod taxa is close. Various well-preserved fossil branchiopods (e.g., Castracollis, Lepidocaris, Kazacharthra, Leptodorosida) combine characters from major recent taxa and are therefore necessary for a full understa...
متن کاملFlying with the birds? Recent large-area dispersal of four Australian Limnadopsis species (Crustacea: Branchiopoda: Spinicaudata)
Temporary water bodies are important freshwater habitats in the arid zone of Australia. They harbor a distinct fauna and provide important feeding and breeding grounds for water birds. This paper assesses, on the basis of haplotype networks, analyses of molecular variation and relaxed molecular clock divergence time estimates, the phylogeographic history, and population structure of four common...
متن کاملA nomenclatorial confusion in Tanymastigidae (Crustacea: Branchiopoda: Anostraca).
Brtek (1972) established the subfamily Tanymastiginae into Branchipodidae for the genus Tanymastix Simon, 1886 and his new genus Tanymastigites. Although the author did not explicitly designate a type genus, he created the subfamily name on the stem of the older genus that he included in his new subfamily. The name Tanymastix (in genitive singular, Tanymastigis: stem Tanymastigand desinence -is...
