Methods for selection of Daphnia resting eggs: the influence of manual decapsulation and sodium hypoclorite solution on hatching rates

Abstract: Cladocerans are able to produce resting eggs inside a protective resistant capsule, the ephippium, that difficults the visualization of the resting eggs, because of the dark pigmentation. Therefore, before hatching experiments, methods to verify viable resting eggs in ephippia must be considered. This study aimed to evaluate the number of eggs per ephippium of Daphnia from two tropical aquatic ecosystems and the efficiency of some methods for decapsulating resting eggs. To evaluate the influence of methods on … Show more

“…Consistent with Davison (), our high rates of hatching demonstrate the efficacy of UV light on activating Daphnia diapausing embryos. The hatching rate in our experiment is much higher than the rates reported in previous work (e.g., Paes et al, ) where white light is commonly used. In our own experiments, we also found that UV light performed better than white light in stimulating the hatching of diapausing embryos of AroMoose and had similar performance as white light in DBIV‐2.…”

“…Several previous studies (Davison, ; Paes, Rietzler, & Maia‐Barbosa, ; Pancella & Stross, ; Radzikowski et al, ; Schwartz & Hebert, ; Vandekerkhove et al, ) investigated the environmental conditions conducive for diapausing embryo hatching in Daphnia , providing insight into how to hatch these embryos in a laboratory setting (Table ). The set of suitable conditions, which largely simulate the seasonal environmental changes in spring, is reflected in the common practice seen in recent literature (e.g., Heier & Dudycha, ; Innes & Hebert, ).…”

“…De forma similar, Paes et al (2016) destacaram que a descapsulação dos efípios foi fundamental para aumentar as taxas de eclosão, e o uso de cloro atuou como um facilitador no processo, como também observado neste trabalho.…”

“…Differences in male numbers used and in the duration of ephippia production were explained by the fact that many ephippia from the OP x CP cross were empty (i.e., did not contain any viable embryos) and because we wanted to ensure that we would be able to obtain a sufficient number of hatchlings for linkage analysis in each of the two crosses. Hatching was induced by bathing ephippia in a solution of pure water for two hours, followed by eight minutes of bleach solution and abundant rinsing with osmotic water (Retnaningdyah and Ebert 2012;Paes et al 2016). The ephippia were then exposed to high light for 24h and then placed to standard laboratory conditions.…”
