Ephemeral Pools of Moab ~ The Nature & Creatures of Water Potholes

Did you know the heavy summer rains in Moab have caused tiny creatures to hatch out on the bare rock literally within seconds of a downpour? How do they survive?
Check out Moab Area Travel Council's new short film on the Ephemeral Pools of Moab: The Nature and Creatures of Water Potholes with retired USGS Biological Research Scientist Tim Graham. The latest video in our Moab Science Series takes a macro look at the survival strategies of tadpole shrimp (AKA triops,) fairy shrimp, clam shrimp and more.

[@DrLobotamy]

Holy cow, props to the camera man! These animals are NOT easy to film at such magnifications, and I seriously appreciate the effort that went into capturing them.

[@finleyholiday]

Thank you. That was the biggest challenge - figuring out how to film them. A lot of hours kneeling on the rock. As you noted, trying to track and manually focus on a fast moving shrimp an 1/8” of an inch long with a depth of field of a 1/4” underwater is tough. And the, being ephemeral added a whole layer of difficulty even finding them in a clear pool.

[@DrLobotamy]

@finleyholiday The tracking did not slip past me, seriously good job. Did you have to use a specialty lens to get under such a shallow pool of water?

[@finleyholiday]

Yes, I used the Laowa 24 mm probe lens. It was the only way to get the angles and be able to see, track and focus. Couldn’t have made this film without it. I rented one first and ruined it by getting it too deep in the water and then bought one, having learned my lesson.

​@@finleyholiday, The Learn Your Land channel has a video episode about "fairy" shrimp ( the channel is primarily oriented towards learning the trees, fungi and edible plants around you). By the way, on a trip to Acadia Maine we visited the Schoodic peninsula and found that there were potholes in the bedrock along the shore, maybe 100-150 feet from the open Atlantic ocean at most, which had fresh water and tadpoles in them! A gray seal was cruising up-and-down along the shore feeding on schools of fish that it had chased up into the shallows.

​@@finleyholidayI have seen tadpole shrimp on regular dirt. I was in the west desert of Utah (west of what's now Eagle Mountain). It was about 43 years ago. Someone had dug a large whole in the dirt with what was most likely a backhoe. Presumably rained a had accumulated to around round 6 inches. Tadpole shrimp were swimming around. The wind likely blows their eggs all over the desert . They are just waiting for rain.

And if they get out during a heavy rain, they'll be part of life in other pools and rivers.

Whoa. I live in a place near polar circle, and all those little crustacean guys or their distant relatives appear in local water holes around last 10 days of May and first 10 days of June. Similarity between those and these is mind-blowing.

[@ryanpenrod1859]

Well it's sort of the same type of environmental stress--pools that are only inhabitable for a short period of time, with long periods of harsh survival between. Yours just happens to be cold vs. hot. :)

[@swayback7375]

They may well be actual fairy shrimp, there’s various species all over the world, many live in temperate forests

[@finleyholiday]

Even in Moab, there is one species of shrimp, that hatches out in summer, and a different species that hatches out in cooler fall and winter temps. The tryouts only like warmer water temperatures, above 70° before they hatch.

I have a special place for little creeks and streams in my heart, people dismiss them but they play a role in the environment regardless.

[@jonlobello7151]

We have vernal ponds in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan which only last a couple of months at best. Usually they have lots of cyclops and daphnia in them, but if you get lucky you can also find fairy shrimp in them. Looking at those temporary ponds in Moab, reminds me of one other set of critters that lives in seasonal ponds in Africa and South America and that would be the annual killifishes (Nothobranchius in Africa, and Cynolebias in South America). Their eggs go through a diapause (arrested development) which enables them to re-emerge when the ponds fill back up in the rainy season.

[@drakekoefoed1642]

i wonder if annual fishes could reduce mosquito populations

[@jonlobello7151]

They sure can. And so do mosquito fish which is a live bearer similar to guppies, which have been used for mosquito control in the Southwest. But, then you would be introducing an invasive species to the system.@@drakekoefoed1642

[@jonlobello7151]

I thought I might have mentioned something about mosquito fish to you which have been used in the SW US for that purpose.@@drakekoefoed1642

We have mosquito fish in North America, as well.

[@jonlobello7151]

Are you telling me this? Yeah, Gambusia affinis, range from southern Indiana and Illinois to the gulf of Mexico, the Southeast US and the Northern states of mexico. They are related to guppies, but they are not annual Killifish and will die when the temporary ponds dry up.

if the oceans were to evaporate, the earth will be beyond supporting life anymore. all that water has weight. if it evaporates, that means that weight is now air pressure. water vapor is also a greenhouse gas, so the greenhouse effect would get completely out of control and "run away." eventually, earth would be a twin for venus again.
