Monstrilloid Copepods: the Best of Three Worlds
Monstrilloids are one of the most intriguing groups of copepods. Their complex life cycle represents the successful evolutionary outcome of dealing with three distinct kinds of habitat, viz., planktonic, benthic, and ... -
Phylogenetic Study of Dioecious and Parthenogenetic Populations of Canthocamptus staphylinus (Crustacea, Copepoda, Harpacticoida)
The phylogenetic relationships of four dioecious populations and one parthenogenetic population of the harpacticoid Canthocamptus staphylinus Jurine were studied. Analysis of the mtCOI gene revealed two main clades as a ... -
Planktonic Phases of Symbiotic Copepods: a Review
In symbiotic copepods, most naupliar stages are typically planktonic, playing a primary role in dispersal, while the first copepodid usually represents the infective stage. Later copepodid stages, including adults, are ... -
Some Observations of Morphology and Behavior of a Hyperbenthic Misophrioid Copepod
The locomotion, feeding, excretion, and oviposition of a member of the copepod family Misophriidae were observed based on a live specimen collected from a sandy bottom at a depth of 52 m off Nagannu Island, Okinawa, Japan. ... -
The Evolution of the Thermal Niche Across Locally Adapted Populations of the Copepod Tigriopus californicus
Local adaptation to different thermal environments is often expected to result in trade-offs in other measures of performance, thermal or otherwise. Populations of the copepod Tigriopus californicus found along the Pacific ...
