We're besotted by #Bosmina! So this Microscope Monday 🔬 we're enjoying getting up close with #Cladocera, aka the #WaterFlea!

If you're curious to find out more about these enthusiastic eco-engineers check out British Freshwater Cladocera by Scourfield & Harding in the FBA shop!

These included an amphipod used in water toxicity assessments, and a ctenopod (waterflea), which can indicate the pH level of the water. Bea’s work provides a crucial baseline for monitoring the health of the reservoir and will help ensure the community has access to safe water. 4/5 #cladocera

New FWB paper shows ducks often disperse aquatic crustacean eggs >100 km, but species with larger eggs are moved over greater distances #cladocera @WileyEcolEvol @ebdonana @freshwaterbio @BenthosNews @AIL_limnologia @sibecol @BES_AquaEco @Rheophillic

Lough Feeagh #zooplankton from July 2016 is FULL of PREDATORS...big fat Bythotrephes longimanus and also lots of Leptodora kindtii, feeding on all the Diaphanosoma brachyurum that bloom in summer. #BurrishooleLTER @MarineInst #cladocera #minibeasts
