Ancient androdioecy in the freshwater crustacean Eulimnadia.
Among the variety of reproductive mechanisms exhibited by living systems, one permutation--androdioecy (mixtures of males and hermaphrodites)--is distinguished by its rarity. Models of mating system evolution predict that androdioecy should be a brief stage between hermaphroditism and dioecy (separate males and females), or vice versa. Herein we report evidence of widespread and ancient androdi...
متن کاملMaintenance of androdioecy in the freshwater shrimp, Eulimnadia texana: estimates of inbreeding depression in two populations.
Androdioecy is an uncommon form of reproduction in which males coexist with hermaphrodites. Androdioecy is thought to be difficult to evolve in species that regularly inbreed. The freshwater shrimp Eulimnadia texana has recently been described as both androdioecious and highly selfing and is thus anomalous. Inbreeding depression is one factor that may maintain males in these populations. Here w...

Branchipodia, specifically in the clam shrimp Eulimnadia texana Populations of these shrimps comprise males and selfcompatible hermaphrodites. Previous studies have suggested that the transition to androdioecy in the clam shrimp may have been a rather recent event. But, because of the ancient origins of the Branchiopodia, other have suggested a more ancient origin. In the new study, the team ha...
متن کاملDistribution pattern of crustacean ectoparasites of freshwater fish from Brazil.
The purpose of this study was to use the informations relating to parasite crustaceans species that was published over the course of one century (1913 to 2013), in order to search for infestation and distribution patterns among these ectoparasites in Brazilian freshwater fish species. This search was carried out on 445 samples of 119 host fish of 27 families within the orders Characiformes, Per...

exposed to a wide range of salinities. According to the salinity of the medium, they are submitted to osmotic water exchanges and diffusive ion movements between their hemolymph and the external medium. In order to maintain their hydromineral balance, euryhaline crustaceans are able to regulate their body fluid through a decrease in the tegument permeability and an active uptake or excretion of...
