The objectives of this volume are to present an up-to-date (literature survey up to 2001)
account of the biology of Artemia focusing particularly upon the major advances in …

Abstract 'Artemia is widely distributed on the five continents in many salt lakes, coastal
lagoons, and solar saltworks'—this, or a variation on the same theme, is the standard …

Explaining cases of long-term persistence of parthenogenesis has proven an arduous task
for evolutionary biologists. Interpreting sexual–asexual interactions though has recently …

Even a cursory glance at the previous chapters on diverse aspects of Artemia will have
convinced you of the astonishing convergence of unique features in this one organism …

In this study, we report on the existence of a new bisexual Artemia species, found in the high
plateaus of Tibet (PR China). Different disciplines have been used to characterize this new …

Artemia has probably been known and used within its natural distribution areas for
centuries. However, its fame elsewhere only began to rise in the 1930s when some …

Field surveys were conducted in order to collect information on the occurrence of wild
Artemia populations in hypersaline environments such as salt lakes, lagoons and salty …

Artemia urmiana cysts were collected from seven sites in Urmia Lake, Iran. Biometrical
analysis revealed that the mean values for the untreated cysts ranged from 262.7 to 286.6 …

The brine shrimp Artemia consists of a number of bisexual species and a large number of
parthenogenetic forms, which collectively, inhabit a wide range of hypersaline habitats. A …

Parthenogenesis is an asexual reproduction mode characterized by the development of a
female oocyte without fertilization. From an evolutionary perspective, parthenogenesis …
