Francisco Amat

TL;DR: The distribution pattern of radioactivity from [U– 14 C ]22:6n−3 in the fatty acids of the nauplii demonstrates that Artemia are capable of retroconverting 22:6N−3 to 20:5 n−3, and indicates the mobilisation of fatty acids from triacylglycerols for use in catabolism and in the formation of biomembrane lipids.

TL;DR: The present study showed that fingerlings of the European sea bass are relatively resistant to in vivo acute dichlorvos exposure to concentrations between 0.125 and 1 mg/L, being able to tolerate high percentages of head ChE inhibition (37% and 76%) without lethal effects.

TL;DR: It is found that large numbers of viable eggs of A. franciscana and native Artemia parthenogenetica were dispersed by Redshank Tringa totanus, Blacktailed Godwit Limosa limosa, and other shorebirds migrating through the Iberian Peninsula, the most extensive field demonstration to date that invertebrates can disperse readily via gut passage through birds.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the native species can be rapidly replaced by the exotic species, and suggest that these exotic A. franciscana populations originate as intentional or non-intentional inoculations through aquacultural (hatchery effluents) or pet market activities.

TL;DR: The results show extensive regional endemism and indicate an early Pleistocene expansion of A. salina in the Mediterranean Basin and large genetic divergences between Mediterranean and South African A.salina suggest that the latter deserves species status.
