Abstract Lake Urmia (or Ormiyeh) is one of the largest hypersaline lakes in the world and the
habitat of a unique bisexual Artemia species (A. urmiana). Despite this, and several other …

The brine shrimp Artemia is a micro-crustacean, well adapted to the harsh conditions that
severely hypersaline environments impose on survival and reproduction. Adaptation to …

Diapause entails molecular, physiological and morphological remodeling of living animals,
culminating in a dormant state characterized by enhanced stress tolerance. Molecular …

Life cycle delays are beneficial for opportunistic species encountering suboptimal
environments. Many animals display a programmed arrest of development (diapause) at …

Formation of highly resistant dormant forms is a well-known feature that allows inhabitants of
unstable water bodies to survive periods of adverse conditions. The resistance of dormant …

In the present study, it has been evaluated how 10 µm of polyethylene microspheres can be
ingested by Artemia salina (Linnaeus, 1758) larvae within the first 7 days of the life cycle …

NaCl-saturated brines such as saltern crystalliser ponds, inland salt lakes, deep-sea brines
and liquids-of-deliquescence on halite are commonly regarded as a paradigm for the limit of …

Current studies on abiotic impacts on Artemia, a crustacean which is widely used in
aquaculture, and ecotoxicology, often focus on endpoint analysis (eg, hatching rates …

Extremophilic microbes show a unique metabolism due to the adaptations they display to
deal with extreme environmental parameters characterizing the extreme ecosystems that …

Oviparously developing embryos of the brine shrimp, Artemia, arrest at gastrulation and are
released from females as cysts before entering diapause, a state of dormancy and stress …
