Abstract

The somatic growth, longevity, and reproduction of two Moroccan anostracan populations from different climatic areas were studied under standardized laboratory conditions. Both populations were subjected to allozyme analyses covering four loci, and molecular analyses of the variable regions, the Internal Transcribed Spacers (ITS1 & ITS2) intervening the nuclear ribosomal genes (18S, 5.8S, 28S rDNA). The ecological characteristics of the life cycle of each population are presented, together with their genetic differences and phylogenetic relationships.
