Life history and DNA barcode of Oxyurella longicaudis(Birgei 1910) (Cladocera Anomopoda Chydoridae)

摘要

Background: Cladocera is an important group of freshwater zooplankton, and the speciesplays an important role in energy transfer and in aquatic food webs. is a Chydoridae species that has been recorded in North and SouthAmerica. The aim of this study is to investigate the life cycle aspects of parthenogeneticfemales of cultured in laboratory under controlledconditions: temperature (23°C ± 05°C), photoperiod (12 h light/12 h dark), food supply,and reconstituted water.
