Size?

[edit]

The article only states the Mysidacea are small. I think it would be an improvement to mention length or weight. Pukkie (talk) 08:24, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly incorrect classification

[edit]

This is a morphological classification [ADD: i.e. Mysidacea] that has lost support. Molecularly they are no way related. It might be best to copy the content into the Mysida and Lophogastrida respectively (keeping this). --Squidonius (talk) 13:19, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. Lycaon (talk) 14:45, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Moved old Mysidacea to Mysida, to keep the extensive edit history. Mysidacea to be recreated.Mo5b (talk) 21:37, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I thought your suggestions a bit over specialised but I have added a couple more. There are not many on Commons. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:08, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • The lead doesn't appear to summarise the entire article, for example on description and "culture".
Expanded a bit. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:08, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • "are often used as a diagnostic feature of the group." Context could clarify this for the average reader. Diagnosis for classification?
Changed wording. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:08, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I have moved the sections around a bit. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:08, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Changed wording. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:08, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • "benthic and pelagic" Explain in parenthesis?
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:08, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • There are some other uncommon terms throughout that could benefit from this too, such as "ghonochoristic".
Removed that word and explained some others. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:08, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • with the adults preying on their young" Their own offspring?
I doubt they distinguish between their own offspring and that of others. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:08, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I have replaced one of the other images (which was of the same species) with that one. As for the name, we have Isopoda but Copepod and I am not bothered much either way and usually accept what I find. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:35, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, I'll pass! FunkMonk (talk) 09:00, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ecology

[edit]

Mysis relicta caused an unexpected massive change in the Flathead Lake Water System (Montana, USA). The released Opossum shrimps turned out to be a severe competitor to the lokal salmon species in the oligotrophic lake, both feeding on Zooplankton. This led to the extinction of the Salmon Population, the disappearance of salmon feeding eagles, Bears and others and finally to the collapse of tourism. Details in the publication: Craig N. Spencer, B. Riley McClelland, and Jack A. Stanford "Shrimp Stocking, Salmon Collapse and Eagle Displacement Cascading interactions in the food web of a large aquatic ecosystem" BioScience Vol. 41 No.1, 1991 https://doi.org/10.2307/1311531 Ahrfuchs (talk) 10:49, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
