Some Effects of Temperature and Oxygen Concentration on Phyllopod Ecology

Abstract: Seasonal distributional patterns of five phyllopods from southwest Texas are similar to those of the same species from more northern latitudes. At both latitudes a primary environmental cue controlling the appearance of phyllopods seems to be temperature. For instance, in Texas Branchinecta packardi was the only cold water species. In addition to the effects of temperature on phyllopod zoogeography, diurnal studies show that high temperatures contribute both directly and indirectly to oxygen depletion in tempo… Show more

“…Oxygen stayed at 4 mg 1-or above until the final stages of drying out. There are no lethal levels recorded for any Australian zooplankton but 4 mg 1-is far higher than LD50s recorded for a range of American pond invertebrates (Moore & Burne, 1968;Horne, 1971). The maintenance of these relatively high oxygen levels was due to photosynthesis by the dense concentrations of phytoplankton that occurred then (S. Briggs, pers.…”

“…Other studies have demonstrated that anostracan egg hatching is increased by favourable temperatures (Hall, 1961;Broch, 1965;Moore, 1967;Daborn, 1976;Modlin, 1982), suppressed by unfavourable temperatures (Hall, 1961;Nourisson, 1961;Broch, 1965;Moore, 1967; Mossin, 1986;Saiah and Perrin, 1990;Belk and Nelson, 1995), and that variation in annual appearance of co-occurring species is attributed to variation in favourable temperatures between species (Moore, 1963;Prophet 1963c;Horne, 1967Horne, , 1971. Moore (1967) noted in Streptocephalus sealii Ryder, 1879 populations from a pool in Louisiana, USA, that the optimal hatching temperature was 21°C, however hatching percentage increased if eggs were subjected to a temperature fluctuation from 19 to 23°C over a ten hour period every day.…”

“…This broadly distributed species is recorded from a range of endorheic temporary wetland habitat types from dryland regions, including: alkaline vernal pools, prairie potholes, and slightly saline pools and playas (Hartland-Rowe, 1965;Horne, 1967Horne, , 1971Belk, 1977bBelk, , 1983Eng et al, 1990;Gonzales et al, 1996;Eriksen and Belk, 1999;Maeda-Martinez et al, 2002). Horne (1967Horne ( , 1971 reported that B. lindahli is remarkably tolerant of a wide range of dissolved salts types and concentrations. This species is known from turbid and clear water habitats (Eng et al, 1990).…”

“…When the water was shallow, pans had very low values regardless of the time of day, but these were still above the lethal oxygen threshold of phyllopods (Horne, 1971) which are the most characteristic invertebrate inhabitants of pans (Rzoska,1961 ;Weir, 1969 ;Seaman & Kok 1987) .…”
