  • 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).

  • Water Flea Daphnia Sp. ILLINOIS RANGE
    water flea Daphnia sp. Kingdom: Animalia FEATURES Phylum: Arthropoda Water fleas are compressed side to side. The body Class: Branchiopoda of these microscopic organisms is enclosed in a Order: Cladocera transparent shell that usually has a spine at the end. Four, five or six pairs of swimming legs are present. Family: Daphniidae One pair of antennae is modified for swimming and ILLINOIS STATUS helps to propel the organism through the water. The end of the female’s intestine is curled, while the end common, native of the male’s intestine is straight. Water fleas have a single, compound eye. BEHAVIORS Water fleas can be found throughout Illinois in almost any body of water. They prefer open water. These small arthropods migrate up in the water at night and down in the day, although a few live on the bottom. Water flea populations generally consist only of females in the spring and summer. Reproduction at these times is by parthenogenesis (males not required for eggs to develop). In the fall, males are produced, and they mate with the females. Fertilized eggs are deposited to “rest” on the bottom until hatching in the spring or even many years later. Water fleas eat bacteria and algae. They have a life span of several weeks.

  • Population Dynamics of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Moina Micrura
    Proc, Indian Acad. Sci. (Anim, Sci.), Vol. 98, No.3, May 1989, pp. 211-222. © Printed in India. Population dynamics of Moina micrurs Kurz (Cladocera: Moinidae) inhabiting a eutrophic pond of Madurai (south India)* N MURUGAN Department of Zoology, Madura College, Madurai 625011. India MS received 13 July 1988; revised 10 March 1989 Abstract. Population density, composition, age structure and fecundity of Moina micrura have been studied in a eutrophic pond. The average clutch size of this species ranged from 1-4-4 eggs. The relationship between mean brood size and body length has been established. The volume of parthenogenetic eggs of this cladoceran ranges between 0·2 and 0·9 millions JL J and the adaptive significance of this has been discussed. The mean instantaneous birth rate which preceded maximum density of population resulted in a value of more than one. Keywords. Moina micrura; population density; composition; age structure; fecundity; egg volume. l. Introduction Moina micrura, a member of the family Moinidae primarily inhabits astatic ponds and pools in tropical and subtropical regions. This species is highly adapted to survive frequent dry periods and propagate rapidly in newly formed ponds. The review of literature on zooplankton species of Moina shows that the information about the population dynamics of M. micrura from tropical Indian waters is far from complete. Hence, an attempt has been made to investigate its population density and composition, fecundity and age structure in natural habitats. 2. Study area The present study was carried out in a seasonal shallow pond (figure 1) located in the Madura College campus at Madurai (Long: 78'8' E; Lat: 9'56' N), south India.

Daphnia are already an established model species in toxicology. This freshwater crustacean is used commonly for environmental monitoring of pollutants around the globe and plays an important role in establishing regulatory criteria by government agencies (e.g., US EPA, Environment Canada organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, Environment Agency of Japan). Consequently, daphniids represent 8% of all experimental data for aquatic animals within the toxicological databases (Denslow et al., 2007). As such, their incorporation

Water samples were collected from different types of water bodies viz; village ponds, fish Associate Professor, Department of Zoology, Punjab Agricultural ponds and paddy fields of Ludhiana, Punjab (India). Identification of cladocerans was done on the basis University, Ludhiana, Punjab, of morphological features and their enumeration with the help of Sedgewick-Rafter counting chamber (S- India R cell). Out of the recorded nine species of cladocerans, six were found to belong to family Daphnidae, two to family Moinidae and only one to family Chydoridae. Average percent composition of cladocerans in village ponds showed the distribution pattern with predominance of Daphnidae (51.01%) > Moinidae (48.27%) > Chydoridae (0.68%). In fish ponds Moinidae family was found to be predominant (62.95%) > Daphnidae (34.61%) > chydoridae (1.29%). Paddy fields were represented by Moinidae family only.

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.
