Evolutionary dynamics in ephemeral pools : inferences from genetic architecture of large branchiopodsZofkova, Magdalena January 2007 (has links)
[Truncated abstract] I have evaluated the effects of different types of ephemeral pools on the evolutionary dynamics of two large branchiopods in Australia, the clam shrimp Lynceus and the fairy shrimp Branchinella longirostris. Both shrimps are passive dispersers, relying on their sexually produced resting eggs for continuity of populations in time and space, although their actual dispersal ability remains speculative. The two currently recognised species of the genus Lynceus (L. tatei and L. macleyanus) are widespread across Australia, and they occupy a wide range of ephemeral fresh water habitats, while the fairy shrimp Branchinella longirostris is endemic to rock pools on granite outcrops in south-western Australia. Samples of populations were collected from a total of 96 ephemeral pools at 80 locations in New South Wales, Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia . . . This highlighted the contrast between the two species and their microhabitats, and implied that these microhabitats offered different opportunities for dispersal. These were identified as frequent disturbances of the clam shrimp’s egg-banks due to ‘wash-out’ effects during heavy rains and animal and human vectors attracted by the water stored in the deep pools. My comparative study shows that the difference in evolutionary dynamics observed between the two species was a consequence of their environmental interactions rather than of the microhabitats themselves. Similar to patterns detected in other passive dispersers with disjunct population distribution, evolutionary dynamics in Lynceus and B. longirostris seem to be a result of complex interactions among gene flow, population histories and ecology of their habitat. The results contribute to the emerging evidence that branchiopod crustaceans are poor dispersers and highlight the importance of local context in determining evolutionary processes within species.

Alimentação de Macrobrachium rosenbergii (De Man, 1879)(crustacea, palaemonidae) durante a fase larval : efeitos da densidade de náuplios de Artemia, do tamanho das partículas de ração, do tipo de alimento e do fotoperíodo /Barros, Helenice Pereira de. January 2001 (has links)
Orientador: Wagner Cotroni Valenti / Resumo: A freqüência de aceitação de alimento (FAA) por larvas de M. rosenbergii foi utilizada como medida para determinar o tamanho de partícula e o tipo de alimento mais adequados para cada estágio de desenvolvimento. Foram testados quatro classes de tamanho de partículas (250-425; 425-710; 710-1000 e 1000-1190 mm) de dois tipos de ração (seca e úmida). Verificou-se também a freqüência de aceitação das duas rações e de náuplios de Artemia em cada estágio larval. A freqüência de aceitação foi obtida pela avaliação qualitativa da ingestão de cada alimento pelas larvas por meio da observação do trato digestório das mesmas sob estereomicroscópio. Não houve relação significativa (P < 0,01) entre o tamanho das partículas na freqüência de aceitação das rações pelas larvas no decorrer do desenvolvimento. Náuplios de Artemia foram significativamente mais ingeridos por larvas entre os estágios II e VII; aceitação similar para a ração úmida e seca foi obtida a partir dos estágios VII e IX, respectivamente. Verificou-se que o alimento inerte foi capturado e ingerido por mais de 50% das larvas apenas a partir dos estágios VII (ração úmida) e VIII (ração seca). Nossos resultados indicam que a complementação da dieta com alimento inerte deve se iniciar a partir do estágio VII / The functional response (relationship between ingestion rate and food concentration) was determined for each larval stage of Macrobrachium rosenbergii. Artemia nauplii were supplied at six different densities: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 ind/mL. The nauplii were counted manually using a Pasteur pipette and placed in Petri dishes containing 40 mL of brackish water (12‰). A single Macrobrachium rosenbergii larvae was placed in each Petri dish and after 24 hours the leftover nauplii were counted. Daily average ingestion rate by larva was calculated for each zoeal stage. Consumption pattern was defined by the model I = Im(1-e-kP). Ingestion rate increased with food density in the medium. The best relationship between predator and prey seemed to occur during stages IV and V. The high values for maximum ingestion (Im) and the low values for constant k obtained in the last larval stages indicate the necessity of supplementary diet during the final stages of development / Doutor
