The seasonal abundance and hatching success of calanoid benthic eggs were examined during the coexistence of Acartia tonsa and Eurytemora americana in the Bahía Blanca Estuary (BBE). The dormancy behaviour of eggs extracted ...

Resting egg production is a survival mechanism in zooplankton species against adverse environmental conditions. Egg accumulation in the upper layer of the bottom sediments is fundamental to the resurgence of the populations ...

We assessed the short-term viability and recovery of zooplankton communities after exposure to glyphosate (active ingredient—a.i.). We conducted a hatching experiment in two steps: Step 1—natural lake sediments containing ...

Seasonal variation in the morphology of Eurytemora americana eggs and its relationship with reproductive strategy were studied in the Bahía Blanca Estuary. Eggs from field females were analysed morphologically by optical ...

Hatching rhythms of eggs banks are important processes because they favor species co-existence and promote resilience of ecosystems after natural disturbances. Anthropogenic stressors can disrupt such natural hatching ...

Here, we describe the abundance and composition of the dormant-stage banks of cladocerans and rotifers at two locations in a tropical reservoir (Furnas Reservoir, Minas Gerais, Brazil) that are subject to different ...

Production of diapausing eggs in many zooplankton species occurs after partial switching from parthenogenesis to sexual reproduction. Storage effect theory predicts the stable long-term coexistence of competitors ...

O objetivo deste estudo foi conhecer a distribuição de Cladocera na zona litorânea de lagoas marginais, abrangendo a comunidade de forma completa, incluindo suas formas ativa e dormente, encontradas nos habitats que compõem ...

The study of the structure and dynamics of cladoceran egg banks in South America began only 15 years ago and the amount of knowledge, in addition to being scarce, is widely spread over partially national journals, theses, ...
