“…The cysts (resting eggs) of Branchiopoda are able to tolerate environmental stresses for long periods (Amarouayache et al, ; Amarouayache and Derbal, ; Brendonck et al, ; Plodsomboon et al, ). This physiological adaptation is the main reason that branchiopods can be dispersed to new habitats via water birds and wind (Brendonck and Riddoch, ; Figuerola and Green, ; Green and Figuerola, ; Green et al, ).…”

The cysts of nine Chinese populations of parthenogenetic Artemia were studied by scanning electron microscope. In the 270 cysts examined, 15 different morphological patterns were recognized with most of them not recorded in previous studies and the "tubercled shell surface" being the most common pattern. Results also displayed high intrapopulation variability, with the maximum of 11 patterns (in 30 cysts) recorded from the Barkol population. No positive correlation between the diversity of cyst shell patterns and ploidy compositions was found. Principal components analysis suggests higher similarity among coastal populations than among inland populations, which may be attributed to the identity of physicochemical conditions among coastal salterns and dissimilarity among inland saline lakes.
