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

As the RNA interference mechanism was discovered, researchers have made huge strides
in unravelling biological mechanisms at the gene level in a wide range of organisms. RNA i …

Artemia franciscana embryos enter diapause as encysted gastrulae, a physiological state of
metabolic dormancy and enhanced stress resistance. The objective of this study was to use …

Water loss either by desiccation or freezing causes multiple forms of cellular damage. The
encysted embryos (cysts) of the crustacean Artemia franciscana have several molecular …

The effects of the decline in ocean pH, termed as ocean acidification due to the elevated
carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, on calcifying organisms such as marine crustacean are …

Embryos of the crustacean, Artemia franciscana, may undergo oviparous development,
forming encysted embryos (cysts) that are released from females and enter diapause, a state …

Females of the crustacean Artemia franciscana produce either motile nauplii or gastrula
stage embryos enclosed in a shell impermeable to nonvolatile compounds and known as …

Encysted embryos of A rtemia franciscana cease development and enter diapause, a state
of metabolic suppression and enhanced stress tolerance. The development of diapause …

Background As a response to harsh environments, the crustacean artemia produces
diapause gastrula embryos (cysts), in which cell division and embryonic development are …

Regulation of the cell cycle is complex but critical for proper development, reproduction and
stress resistance. To survive unfavourable environmental conditions, the crustacean Artemia …
