Branchiopods (non-cladocerans) of the Maltese Islands (central Mediterranean)

Four branchiopod species occur on the Maltese Islands, viz. Branchipus schaefferi, B. visnyai, Cyzicus tetracerus and Triops cancriformis. All four live in freshwater pools, but it is noteworthy that, beside B. schaefferi, T. cancriformis was recorded from a mesohaline, coast-fringing habitat.     

Microornamentation of Lioestheria, Mimoleaia, and Echinolimnadia (conchostraca) from the terminal Permian of Siberia

Previously unknown minute ornamentation patterns of conchostracans are described based on SEM investigation of several collections from the terminal Permian volcanic deposits of the Tunguska Syneclise. Lioestheria (Lioestheriidae) shows ovally elongated cells arranged in rows along the growth bands, Mimoleaia (Leaiidae) has large polygonal cells with double walls, and Echinolimnaia (Echinolimnadiidae fam. nov.) displays a pattern with small polygonal cells bearing small spines along their walls. Diagnoses of genera and species are refined. New data about their distribution are presented.     

热河生物群凌源东方叶肢介的软体构造及其分类意义

东方叶肢介（Eosestheria）是著名热河生物群中最为常见的一类甲壳动物,关于它的形态、壳瓣结构及微细纹饰特征的研究已相当详尽,但一直没有关于其软体构造的报道。本文描述的凌源东方叶肢介（Eosestheria lingyuanensis）采自辽宁北票市尖山沟村,产于下白垩统义县组的尖山沟夹层。这些软体构造包括：头部...

Notes on the life history of the clam shrimp,Eulimnadia texana

Several life history measures (growth rate, egg production, molt frequency, age at maturity and lifespan) were measured on several clam shrimp hermaphrodites (Eulimnadia texana Packard) grown in a laboratory setting under optimal growth conditions. Growth rates were high early in life, and then dropped dramatically when egg production began (day 5–6). Early egg production was low, and increased until approximately day 7, after which production leveled off for several days. Reproductive senescence was noted after day 17, with clutch sizes continuously dropping until death. Average molts per day was approximately 1.1, and molting seemed to be more closely associated with egg production than with growth. Growth and egg production were negatively correlated, indicating a possible trade-off between these two traits. No other trade-offs were detected. These shrimp show typical early-colonist life history traits, displaying high initial growth, early reproduction at a high rate, and then early senescence and death. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Larval development of Lynceus brachyurus (Crustacea, Branchiopoda, Laevicaudata): redescription of unusual crustacean nauplii, with special attention to the molt between last nauplius and first juvenile

The larval development of "conchostracans" has received only scattered attention. Here I present the results of a study on the larval (naupliar) development and the metamorphosis of Lynceus brachyurus, a member of the bivalved branchiopod order the Laevicaudata. Lynceus brachyurus is the only species of the "Conchostraca" in Denmark. The phylogenetic position of the Laevicaudata has traditionally been a source of controversy, and this study does not solve the question completely. This work focuses on features potentially important for phylogeny. The general appearance of the larvae of L. brachyurus has been known for more than a century and a half, and some of its unique features include a large, larval dorsal shield; a huge, plate-like labrum; and a pair of immovable, horn-like antennules. However, many details relating to limb morphology, potentially important for phylogeny, have not been studied previously. Based on size categories, five or six larval stages can be recognized. The larvae approximately double their length and width during development (length: 230-520 microm). Most morphological features stay largely unchanged during development, but the antennal coxal masticatory spines are significant exceptions: they become bifid after one of the first molts. In all larval stages only the antennae and the mandibles actively move. In late naupliar stages the trunk limbs become visible as rows of laterally placed, undeveloped, and still immovable lobes. Swimming is performed by the antennae, whereas the mandibles appear to be involved mainly in feeding, as in other branchiopod larvae. The last naupliar stage undergoes a small metamorphosis to the first juvenile stage, the details of which in part were studied by following the premolt juvenile condition through the cuticle of the last stage nauplius. Among other changes there is a characteristic change in the shape and morphology of the univalved dorsal naupliar shield to a bivalved juvenile carapace. The general morphologies of the antennae and the mandibles are very similar to those of other branchiopod larvae and fall well within the "branchiopod naupliar feeding apparatus" recognized as a branchiopod synapomorphy by Olesen (2003), but some specific features shared with the larvae of other "conchostracans" are also identified. These special "conchostracan" features include: 1) a similar antennular setation; 2) a similar comb-like setulation of the bifid antennal coxal processes; and 3) mandibular palpsetae with setules condensed. In light of recent suggestions concerning branchiopod phylogeny (Cyclestheria as a sister group to the Cladocera), these similarities probably do not support a monophyletic "Conchostraca" but rather are symplesiomorphies of this taxon. A final decision must await a phylogenetic analysis of a more complete set of characters.
