Cladocera: Anomopoda: Daphniidae) from the Lower Cretaceous of Australia
Palaeontologia Electronica palaeo-electronica.org Ephippia belonging to Ceriodaphnia Dana, 1853 (Cladocera: Anomopoda: Daphniidae) from the Lower Cretaceous of Australia Thomas A. Hegna and Alexey A. Kotov ABSTRACT The first fossil ephippia (cladoceran exuvia containing resting eggs) belonging to the extant genus Ceriodaphnia (Anomopoda: Daphniidae) are reported from the Lower Cretaceous (Aptian) freshwater Koonwarra Fossil Bed (Strzelecki Group), South Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. They represent only the second record of (pre-Quater- nary) fossil cladoceran ephippia from Australia (Ceriodaphnia and Simocephalus, both being from Koonwarra). The occurrence of both of these genera is roughly coincident with the first occurrence of these genera elsewhere (i.e., Mongolia). This suggests that the early radiation of daphniid anomopods predates the breakup of Pangaea. In addi- tion, some putative cladoceran body fossils from the same locality are reviewed; though they are consistent with the size and shape of cladocerans, they possess no cladoceran-specific synapomorphies. They are thus regarded as indeterminate diplostracans. Thomas A. Hegna. Department of Geology, Western Illinois University, Macomb, IL 61455, USA. ta- [email protected] Alexey A. Kotov. A.N.

The rarity of Water fleas (Crustacea: Cladocera) are small, the cladoceran fossils is probably an artifact, a soft-bodied branchiopod crustaceans and are a result of insufficient efforts to find them in known diverse and ubiquitous component of inland and new palaeontological collections (Kotov, aquatic communities (Dumont and Negrea, 2002). -

Phyllopods of the genera Triops, Lepidums, and Branchinecta are common inhabitants of many ephemeral lakes in the American West. Tadpole shrimp (Triops spp. and Lepidums spp.) are known to have been a food source in Mexico, and fairy shrimp fBranchinecta spp.) were eaten by the aborigi nal occupants of the Great Basin. Where found, these crustaceans generally occur in numbers large enough to supply abundant calories and nutrients to humans. Several ephemeral lakes studied in the Mojave Desert arul northern Great Basin currently sustain large seasonal populations of these crusta ceans and also are surrounded by numerous small prehistoric camp sites that typically contain small artifactual assemblages consisting largely of milling implements. -

This study examined the trophic dynamic plasticity of round goby along a depth gradient based on laboratory and field observations to determine prey species consumed and mussel prey size selection. Prey size selection in the laboratory was assessed by presenting individual round goby with quagga mussels ( Dreissena rostriformis bugensis) of various class sizes (i.e., 6.0– 9.9 mm, 10.0– 12.9 mm, 13.0– 15.9 mm, and 16.0– 18.9 mm in length). -

These organisms, in particular the genusDaphnia , have been widely used model organisms in studies ranging from biomedical sciences to ecology. Here, we present an overview of the contribution of studies with cladocerans to understanding the consequences at different levels of biological organization of stress induced by environmental factors. We discuss how some characteristics of cladocerans (e.g., small body size, short life cycles, cyclic parthenogenesis) make them convenient models for such studies, with a particular comparison with other major zooplanktonic taxa. -
Regulation of Bosmina Longirostris by Leptodora Kindtii
Limnol. Oceanogr., 36(3), 199 1, 483-495 0 199 1, by the American Society of Limnology and Oceanography, Inc Invertebrate predation in Lake Michigan: Regulation of Bosmina longirostris by Leptodora kindtii Donn K. Branstrator and John T. Lehman Department of Biology, Natural Science Building, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor 48 109 Abstract The density of Bosmina longirostris (0. F. Mueller) declined loo-fold between 25 June and 20 August 1985 in Lake Michigan; a similar pattern of changing abundances was observed in 1986 but not in 1987 or 1988. Bosmina collected from periods before and during the decline in 1985 and 1986 were examined for size at maturity and clutch size. Population size-frequency distributions suggest that some animals began to mature at smaller sizes during the decline in 1985. In some cases, the average clutch size for Bosmina of similar body lengths was significantly reduced during the decline in 1985 and 1986. These data suggest that food limitation was a factor in the species decline in both years. Gut content analyses indicate that of seven potential predators, Leptodora kindtii (Focke) was probably most responsible for Bosmina mortality. There is ample evidence that Leptodora does not consume strictly fluid from its prey: juvenile Leptodoru ate mainly smaller prey that included Bosmina and the rotifer Conochilus; adults ate a broader size range of prey that included mainly Bosmina, Daphnia, and copepods. In 1987 and 1988, Bythotrephes cederstroemii Schoedler was abundant in Lake Michigan and was contemporaneous with collapse ofthe Leptodora population and concurrent increase of the Bosmina population in August and September. -

Keywords gnammas, freshwater, crustaceans, morphology Figure 1: Limnadopsis birchii – Worlds largest clam shrimp. Keys to the Australian clam shrimps Introduction Australia has a diverse clam shrimp fauna with about 78 species in nine genera recognised in 2017 (Rogers et al., 2012; Timms, 2012, 2013; Schwentner et al., 2012a,b, 2013a,b, 2015b,a; Timms & Schwentner, 2017; Tippelt & Schwent- ner, 2018) . This is an explosion from 26 species in 2008 (Richter & Timms, 2005; Brendonck et al., 2008) when Australia‘s proportion of the world fauna was about 15%; now it is about 30%. It is anticipated another five species will be described before 2020.
