Calcium balance and moulting in the Crustacea
Greenaway, 1985. Biological Reviews 60(3): 425-454.
This record is a claim boundary, not a quality badge. Evidence class and species relationship describe what was studied. They do not make the result universal, complete or automatically applicable to a home aquarium.

What was studied
Study shape: Published work on calcium storage, loss, uptake and exoskeleton calcification was synthesized across crustacean taxa.
Experimental unit: Published source, not a new Neocaridina experiment
Endpoints: calcium storage, environmental calcium uptake, hemolymph calcium, exoskeleton calcification.
Claim boundary
What it can support: Calcium handling and calcification change across the crustacean molt cycle, and freshwater taxa have evolved calcium-uptake strategies.
What it cannot support: A broad crustacean review does not establish a Neocaridina GH optimum, diagnose a failed molt or show that adding a calcium product corrects an observed problem.
Publication status audit
Canonical DOI outside query result
The record has a canonical DOI but did not appear in the broad Neocaridina query. It requires DOI-specific or alternative-registry status review before any no-update statement.

Correction impact
If this source boundary changes, these are the known downstream consumers. The list distinguishes scientific re-review from generated parity and historical follow-up.
Editorial review required (5)
This curated wording or synthesis must be reconsidered when the source boundary changes. A passing generator test cannot decide the new scientific meaning.

How this record is classified
Review or synthesis: A source assembled findings and gaps across studies. It is useful for scope, but is not a new direct species experiment.
Adjacent biological evidence: The source studied another organism or a broad biological group. The inference to Neocaridina must remain explicit.
Topics: Molting, Water parameters
Critically appraise this source without a score
These questions fit this record's review or synthesis role. They are prompts, not automatic judgments. Open the original source to answer them.
- Identity and provenance: How were the organism, population, stock and life stage identified and sourced? A published name or seller label can hide a taxonomic, population or life-stage transfer.
- Independent unit: What unit was independently assigned or sampled, and how many units support each comparison? Animal counts do not create independent replication when animals share a vessel, site, family or treatment history.
- Comparison and context: What was the actual comparator, allocation process, environment, duration and material condition? A result has meaning only against the comparison and conditions that produced it.
- Endpoint and measurement: Which endpoint was measured, with what method, unit, timing, resolution and decision rule? One endpoint cannot silently become survival, welfare, diagnosis, reproduction or long-term population performance.
- Denominators and missingness: Are starting counts, exclusions, losses, missing observations and analysis denominators reconciled? Unreported or changing denominators can alter the apparent direction, precision and applicability of a result.
- Transfer boundary: What is the nearest tempting aquarium claim that this source design cannot establish? Direct evidence can still be narrow, and adjacent evidence can be useful only while the inference remains visible.
- Search and selection: Were search sources, dates, queries, eligibility decisions and excluded material reported? An unsystematic source set can omit contrary or newer evidence.
- Source roles: Are primary experiments, field studies, reviews and expert assertions kept distinguishable? Repeated citation through reviews does not create new independent evidence.
- Included-study appraisal: Were the units, methods, limitations and conflicts of included sources critically appraised? A synthesis inherits limitations when it only counts or repeats conclusions.
- Currency: What was the search end date, and could later taxonomy, corrections or studies change the synthesis? A well-conducted review can become stale without becoming fraudulent.
