Triops cancriformis is the second most common species raised by hobbyists next to Triops longicaudatus. They are particularly valued for their lower hatching temperature and somewhat longer lifespan as well as potentially larger size.

2022年5月23日 · Scientists used to consider one Triops species, Triops cancriformis, as being the same animal seen in 250 million-year-old fossils. That would mean Triops cancriformis had survived to the...

The Tadpole Shrimp (Triops cancriformis) is native, and the only species of Tadpole Shrimp found in the UK. It is actually the oldest known animal species in the world and is at least 220 million years old!

The oldest extant species known is the tadpole shrimp, Triops cancriformis, a small freshwater crustacean found in temporary pools in arid regions of Eurasia and north Africa that is indistinguishable from 180-million-year-old fossils bearing the same name.

Triops cancriformis "Beni-Kabuto Ebi Albino" showing translucent carapace. As the animal grows the carapace will become more opaque but will never take on the color pattern normally associated with T. cancriformis .

Triops can be translated as 3-eyed – two compound eyes and a central primitive light sensing organ (their third eye). Tadpole shrimp are a specialist of temporary ponds. Not only are they capable of surviving long drought periods, they actually needs ponds to dry out in between years in order to trigger hatching.

2021年5月21日 · The tadpole shrimp Triops cancriformis (Bosc, 1801) inhabits temporary ponds from Europe, North and South Africa, Japan and South Asia.

The Eurasian tadpole shrimp Triops cancriformis (Crustacea: Branchiopoda: Notostraca) has a mixed reproductive strategy which includes hermaphroditism, androdioecy (consisting of hermaphrodites and a small proportion of males) and bisexuality [11,12], the latter being considered to be the ancestral condition .

Here we develop a new molecular diagnostic method to detect viable egg banks of T. cancriformis, and compare its performance to two conventional monitoring methods involving diapausing egg hatching.
