Clam shrimps are one of the most common and representative invertebrates in continental strata and are endowed with important biostratigraphic and paleoecological values. The genus is one of the most common clam shrimp taxa that has been recorded in the latest Paleozoic and the Mesozoic around the world. A list of all the species assigned to , recorded from the Devonian to the Cretaceous across all seven continents as of September 2024, is provided. The list may serve as a valuable resource, potentially useful for the biostratigraphic division and long-range correlations of continental strata. In addition, the taxonomic issues of the genus are briefly introduced and examined herein. The study aims to provide a simple lead-in for all the researchers who have an interest in clam shrimp and the genus .

Divergent impacts of animal bioturbation on methane and nitrous oxide emissions from mariculture ponds.

Water Res

State Key Laboratory of Soil and Sustainable Agriculture, Institute of Soil Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nanjing 210008, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Aquaculture systems contribute significantly to atmospheric methane (CH) and nitrous oxide (NO) emissions, but the specific role of different aquatic animals in these emissions is not fully understood.
  • The study found that the presence of clams, shrimp, and crabs in mesocosm trials increased CH fluxes substantially, with crabs increasing emissions the most at 138%; however, they also reduced NO emissions due to lower dissolved oxygen levels affecting nitrification.
  • Clams increased NO emissions by 181% through their filter-feeding behavior, which enhances nitrogen cycles, suggesting that climate mitigation strategies in aquaculture should consider the varying effects of animal bioturbation on gas emissions.

Distribution of Po in the trophic levels of a brackish lagoon in Uruguay.

Environ Sci Pollut Res Int

November 2024

Grupo Física Nuclear Aplicada, Universidad de Sevilla, 41012, Seville, Spain.

An extensive study on Po was conducted at Castillos Lagoon, a shallow brackish lagoon on the east coast of Uruguay, aiming to determine the activity concentrations of Po in various compartments and to derive the activity fluxes among them. The activity concentration of Po was determined in water, sediments, six different species of fishes, crabs, shrimps, phytoplankton, and zooplankton. Po was determined using alpha spectrometry, performing radiochemical separation and self-deposition on silver disc.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the W chromosome of Eulimnadia texana, a crustacean with a unique breeding system, to understand the evolution of early sex chromosomes and their characteristics.
  • Researchers mapped sex-linked markers and identified transposable elements (TEs) on the W chromosome, finding a region with higher TE accumulation and low gene density or GC content.
  • The findings indicate that E. texana's W chromosome has a localized area of crossover suppression, suggesting it is an early stage in the development of sex chromosomes, making it a valuable model for future research.

Dispersal of Late Triassic clam shrimps across Pangea linking northwestern Gondwana and central Pangea rift basins.

Sci Rep

July 2024

Clam shrimps are a group of freshwater crustaceans who prospered during the Late Triassic. They were abundant in lacustrine sedimentary records of continental basins distributed throughout Pangea during this time. However, they show significant taxonomic differences between the clamp shrimp faunas from the rift basins of central Pangea and the southern Gondwanan basins.
