Vertical migration is a geographically and taxonomically widespread behaviour among
zooplankton that spans across diel and seasonal timescales. The shorter‐term diel vertical …

Insect diapause is a dynamic process consisting of several successive phases. The
conception and naming of the phases is unsettled and, sometimes, ambiguous in the …

In spite of being one of the most relevant components of the biosphere, the plankton-
benthos network is still poorly studied as such. This is partly due to the irregular occurrence …

A long‐lived bank of propagules consisting of eggs, seeds and spores is one mechanism
that allows aquatic communities to survive drought. A drying (drought) event is, for aquatic …

For a short-lived organism, such as a freshwater zooplankter, the ways of co** with years
of local recruitment failure are either to disperse between habitats and recolonise or to …

In 1702, Van Leeuwenhoek was the first to describe the phenomenon of anhydrobiosis in a
species of bdelloid rotifer, Philodina roseola. It is the purpose of this review to examine what …

To survive exposure to space conditions, organisms should have certain characteristics
including a high tolerance for freezing, radiation and desiccation. The organisms with the …

At some stage in their life cycle, most zooplankton in temporary waters produce dormant
eggs that assemble in a persistent egg bank to cope with unfavourable conditions. As part of …

Abstract High Rate Algal Ponds (HRAPs) can provide economical and efficient near tertiary-
level wastewater (WW) treatment, with the nutrients recovered as algal biomass. HRAP …

Extreme habitats give rise to strong stressors that lead organisms to die or to possess
specific adaptations to those stressors. One of the most widespread adaptations is …
