1. Aquaculture.- The growth rate and growth efficiency of Streptocephalus macrourus (Crustacea, Anostraca) cultured on microalgae.- Culturing artemia (Tuticorin strain) in organic and agricultural wastes at different salinities.- A rapid, non-stressing technique for measuring growth in Anostraca and other delicate, medium-sized aquatic invertebrates.- Observations on temperature optimum, cyst production, and survival of Streptocephalus proboscideus (Frauenfeld, 1873) (Crustacea: Anostraca), fed different diets.- A model for growth of Artemia franciscana cultures based on food ration-dependent gross growth efficiencies.- 2. Ecology.- Some aspects of Artemia biology affected by cestode parasitism.- Life history and interspecies relationships of Chirocephalus diaphanus Prévost and Tanymastix stagnalis (L.), (Crustacea, Anostraca) inhabiting a group of mountain ponds in Latium, Italy.- Influence of temperature on hatching of eggs of Lepidurus couesii (Crustacea, Notostraca).- Indirect effects of the fairy shrimp, Branchipus schaefferi and two ostracod species on Bacillus thuringiensis var Israelensis-induced mortality in mosquito larvae.- The biology of Tanymastix stagnalis (L.) and its survival in large and small temporary water bodies in Ireland.- Why only one of two common Central Texas Anostraca atop Enchanced Rock?.- Natural growth and reproduction in Triops granarius (Lucas) (Crustacea: Notostraca).- Physical and chemical characteristics and phyllopod fauna of temporary pools in north-eastern Natal, Republic of South Africa.- Life history adaptations of phyllopods in response to predators, vegetation, and habitat duration in north-eastern Natal.- Multispecies coexistence of branchiopods (Anostraca, Notostraca & Spinicaudata) in temporary ponds of Chaouia plain(western Morocco): sympatry or syntopy between usually allopatric species.- Factors affecting contributions of the tadpole shrimp, Lepidurus packardi, to its oversummering egg reserves.- Uptake of lead, cadmium and zinc by the fairy shrimp, Branchinecta longiantenna (Crustacea: Anostraca).- 3. Genetics.- Genetic characterization and intra-generic relationships of Artemia monica Verrill and A. urmiana Günther.- Sex ratio variation in female-biased populations of Notostracans.- Characterizing bisexual Artemia populations by isoelectric focusing.- 4. Morphology.- The filtration apparatus of Anostraca (Crustacea): species-specific setulation in the genus Streptocephalus.- Structural differences between the cyst walls of Streptocephalus dichotomus (Baird), S. torvicornis (Waga), and Thamnocephalus platyurus (Packard) (Crustacea: Anostraca), and a comparison with other genera and species.- 5. Taxonomy and geographic distribution.- Distribution and morphological variation ofStreptocephalus torvicornis (Waga, 1842) in Northern Africa.- Distribution of species of Anostraca, Notostraca, Spinicaudata, and Laevicaudata in Mexico.- Branchipus cortesi n.sp.: a new anostracan from western Spain (Crustacea: Branchiopoda).- A note on the genus Artemia in Algeria.- The geographical distribution of Triops australiensis (Crustacea: Notostraca) in Australia: a biogeoclimatic analysis.- Branchiopods (non-cladocerans) of the Maltese Islands (central Mediterranean).- Resting eggs of Anostraca, Notostraca and Spinicaudata (Crustacea, Branchiopoda) occurring in France: identification and taxonomical value.- The fairy shrimp Chirocephalus brevipalpis (Orghidan, 1953), (Crustacea: Anostraca) in Yugoslavia.- On the Anostraca (Crustacea) of Yugoslavia.- A review of the Conchostraca (Crustacea) ofYugoslavia.
