Several authors have pointed out that the Andean high altitude waters constitute a very interesting hotspot of biodiversity. Studies these water bodies could significantly increase number Neotropical endemics among Cladocera. One above mentioned taxa is described here as Alonella hampelae sp. nov. (Crustacea: Cladocera: Chydoridae). This new species belongs to “excisaclathratula” group, characterized by carapace strongly reticulated and bearing fine striae within cells reticulation, but...
Species of the genus Ceriodaphnia Dana, 1853 (Crustacea: Cladocera: Daphniidae) are present in plankton many freshwater bodies all around World. However, taxonomy is still poorly developed. Most species have been described nineteenth century and data on their morphology distribution should be revised according to current standards. Currently, due lack reliable morphological genetic data, almost nominal considered as groups rather than separate biological species, complicating detection...

Alpinalona gen. nov. is described for two species found in high altitude localities of continental North America and South America: Alona manueli (Sinev & Zawisza, 2013) from the Neovolcanic Mexican Axis cajasi et sp. nov El Cajas National Park (Ecuador). The new genus separated Hexalona allies by absence limb VI filter plate V; Anthalona, Coronatella elegans-group having seven setae on exopodite III, presence a well-developed seta 1 IDL III; s. str. (quadrangularis-group) Ovalona, main head...
A new species of Moina Baird, 1850 (Cladocera: Moinidae) is described based on material collected from Thailand (South-East Asia). In tropical Asia, siamensis sp. nov. could be confused easily with M. weismanni Ishikawa, 1896, because morphological similarities in parthenogenetic females and males both species. The outstanding difference between these two taxa concerns the structure ephippium gamogenetic females, which highly visible under light scanning electron microscopes. mature strongly...
Summary The tropical Andes has a high density of glacial lakes that are situated in the high‐altitude páramo (3500–4500 m). Ecological information about such is scant despite fact these an important source water for drinking, irrigation and electricity generation feed several major tributaries Amazon. In this study, we provide data on survey 31 Cajas National Park (Ecuador). Two were monitored monthly during one year. situ nutrient addition experiments carried out three lakes. Seasonal...
Understanding the effects of ecological disturbances in coastal habitats is crucial and timely as these are anticipated to increase intensity frequency future due increasing human pressure. In this study we used directed kelp trawling a scientific tool quantify impacts broad-scale disturbance on community structure function. We tested ecosystem-wide BACI design using two 15 km 2 areas. The had substantial impact forests study, removing 2986 tons causing 26% loss total canopy at trawled...
Abstract The number, size, and shape of lakes are key determinants the ecological functionality a lake district. area scaling relationships with number volume enable upscaling biogeochemical processes spatially considering organisms' metapopulation dynamics. These vary regionally depending on geomorphological context, particularly in range <1 km 2 mountainous regions. Cajas Massif (Southern Ecuador) holds tropical mountain district 5955 water bodies. deviates from power law relationship...
Alonso M. & Garcia-de-Lomas J. 2009. — Systematics and ecology of Linderiella baetica n. sp. (Crustacea, Branchiopoda, Anostraca, Chirocephalidae), a new species from southern Spain. Zoosystema 31 (4): 807-827.Linderiella (Anostraca, is described temperate Mediterranean climate, episodic temporary fresh water body in Puerto Real (Cádiz, South Spain). characterized by the display shape basomedial outgrowth on male second antenna, margin structure praepipods, medial endopod, penis basal...
An account on the non-malacostracan crustacean fauna from inland waters of Crete, Greece, with synonymization Arctodiaptomus piliger Brehm, 1955 alpinus (Imhof, 1885)The Mediterranean bioregion is widely recognised as a biodiversity hotspot and its are among species richest ecosystems northern hemisphere.However, extent such has not been totally unravelled, especially in islands.Here we present first crustaceans inhabiting 21 permanent temporary ponds largest Greek islands fifth island...
This paper presents a very complete inventory of the branchiopods and copepods that inhabit salt lakes (salinity >3‰) Mongolia. The was based on samples collected from 108 over course seven limnological expeditions in most Mongolian territory between 2005 2009. salinity ranged 3.4 to 76‰ S. A total 43 taxa were identifi ed: 7 Anostraca, 1 Spinicaudata, Notostraca, Leptodoridae, Ctenopoda, 15 Anomopoda 17 Copepoda. Thirteen are limited Asiatic portion rest known throughout Palearctic region....
ABSTRACT Alonaiberica, new species, belongs to the A. karua complex and differs from an Australian population previous descriptions of (King) G. O. Sars, 1888, in having: (1) posterodorsal comer carapace higher, (2) preanal angle postabdomen (3) postanal portion longer, (4) PP/IP ratio greater, (5) tip labrum rounded, (6) ridges on more prominent. Alona iberica inhabits temporary weakly mineralized waters over sandy or rocky substrates semiarid regions. This species is endemic western part...
A new species of Phallocryptus Biraben 1951 (Branchiopoda, Anostraca) from Mongolia is described. tserensodnomi sp. nov. close to P. spinosa (Milne-Edwards 1840), but both morphological and molecular analyses (Cytochrome Oxidase I, COI) indicate that they represent separate species. Most relevant differential features the include: (1) frontal appendage provided with small ventral conical outgrowths; (2) second antennamere evenly curved, sickle-shaped; (3) distal fleshy process on labrum...
Two new species of genus Alona Baird, 1843 were found in regions along the south-east border Asian Russia. irinae sp. nov. was a lake plain Zeya River, north tributary Amur and steppe region West coast Baikal. floessneri inhabits saline Uvs-Nuur on Russia Mongolia, several other lakes Mongolia. Both share numerous affinities with each Iberian salina Alonso, 1996, but differ shape armament postabdomen, sculpture carapace, size. Detailed morphology salina, including that juveniles, studied for...
An annotated checklist of recorded species Cladocera (Crustacea: Branchiopoda) from inland aquatic habitats in Ecuador (including the Galápagos) is provided.We revised all published records, evaluated validity each taxon and provided short taxonomic biogeographical remarks for taxon.A total 34 valid grouped into 23 genera was found.Presently, attempts to analyze distributional patterns cladocerans are premature due scarcity adequate information.Current achievements inventory cladocerans,...
