Molecular phylogenetics and asexuality in the brine shrimp Artemia.
Explaining cases of long-term persistence of parthenogenesis has proven an arduous task for evolutionary biologists. Interpreting sexual-asexual interactions though has recently advanced owing to methodological design, increased taxon sampling and choice of model organisms. We inferred the phylogeny of Artemia, a halophilic branchiopod genus of sexual and parthenogenetic forms with cosmopolitan...
متن کاملToxicity Effect of Silver Nanoparticles in Brine Shrimp Artemia
The present study revealed the toxic effect of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in Artemia nauplii and evaluated the mortality rate, hatching percentage, and genotoxic effect in Artemia nauplii/cysts. The AgNPs were commercially purchased and characterized using field emission scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Nanoparticles were spherical in nature and with siz...
متن کاملThe Brine Shrimp Artemia: Adapted to Critical Life Conditions
The brine shrimp Artemia is a micro-crustacean, well adapted to the harsh conditions that severely hypersaline environments impose on survival and reproduction. Adaptation to these conditions has taken place at different functional levels or domains, from the individual (molecular-cellular-physiological) to the population level. Such conditions are experienced by very few equivalent macro-plank...
متن کاملA gynandromorph of the brine shrimp, Artemia salina.
S EXUAL mosaics have been reported in three genera of Crustacea. A bilateral mosaic of Carcinus was found to have a testis on one side and a mixed gonad on the other (VEILLET 1945). Gynandromorphs with a testis and ovary have been reported in Homarus (see review by CHACE and MOORE 1959) and in the cladoceran, Simocephalus (BANTA, WOOD, BROWN and INGLE 1939). No intersex or mosaic of Artemia has...
متن کاملThe Detection and Quantification of Cyanobacterial Toxins in Water Using the Brine Shrimp (Artemia salina) Assay
The cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) are an ancient and ubiquitous group of prokaryotes that form dense growths or blooms in eutrophic water bodies. The blooms are of interest to aquaculturists and water management authorities due to their production of taste and odour compounds and/or potent natural toxins. The study focused on method development for toxin extraction and detection in cyanobact...
