... extreme high-temperature events. We tested the capacity of physiological engineering to influence the intra- and multi-generational upper thermal tolerance capacity of a model organism, Artemia , subjected to extreme high temperatures. Enhancement of specific physiological regulators during development...

... of zooplankton capture, digestion and release for a scleractinian coral, we performed detailed video analyses of Galaxea fascicularis feeding on Artemia nauplii. A highly dynamic process of prey capture, digestion and release was observed. A single G. fascicularis polyp ( N =3) captured 558±67 and released 383...

...Heather M. Robbins; Gilbert Van Stappen; Patrick Sorgeloos; Yeong Yik Sung; Thomas H. MacRae; Peter Bossier SUMMARY Encysted embryos (cysts) of the brine shrimp Artemia undergo diapause, a state of profound dormancy and enhanced stress tolerance. Upon exposure to the appropriate physical stimulus...

...Alexander G. McLennan SUMMARY Encysted embryos of the brine shrimp Artemia franciscana are able to survive prolonged periods of anoxia even when fully hydrated. During this time there is no metabolism, raising the question of how embryos tolerate spontaneous, hydrolytic DNA damage...

... Strongylocentrotus purpuratus Strongylocentrotus franciscanus Artemia Acartia tonsa The majority of marine invertebrates have a life cycle that involves a larval stage ( Thorson, 1950 ). Measurements of energy requirements during the larval stage have mostly been carried out using rates of oxygen...

...James S. Clegg; Susan A. Jackson ABSTRACT Among the many adaptations associated with the rigorous life history of the brine shrimp, Artemia , is the striking resistance of the encysted embryo (cyst) to oxygen lack (anoxia). Dutrieu and Chrestia-Blanchine (1966) reported that these cysts could...

...J. S. Glasheen; Steven C. Hand ABSTRACT Embryos (cysts) of the brine shrimp Artemia enter a profound, yet reversible, state of metabolic arrest in response to cellular dehydration. We have monitored metabolic activity during this transition in embryos from the Great Salt Lake population by using...
