Abstract:
... Andesiops peruvianus is widely distributed in the Andean region and has been preliminarily used as a bioindicator of good water quality. Given the morphological variations that are reported for the species, this study aimed to address whether such morphological variability in nymphs captured in tributaries of the Upper Chinchiná River Basin, Caldas-Colombia, could be connected to genetic differenc ...

Abstract:
... In shallow freshwater ecosystems, submerged macrophytes and algae usually compete for nutrients, light and space. Previous studies mainly focused on the growth effects (biomass, growth rate, photosynthetic activities) of algae by submerged macrophytes. The present study found that submerged macrophytes could also have morphological influences on green algae. We used the green alga Chlorella vulgar ...

Abstract:
... Dormancy, the physiological start of rest, occurs in numerous animal species. Many crustaceans release various types of encased embryos in a state of dormancy (e.g., cysts, ephippia, etc.). These dormant propagules require specific combinations of abiotic environmental cues to terminate dormancy. Our goal was to determine if population-specific responses to varying levels of salinity and light (ph ...
