The Carcinological Collection of División Zoología Invertebrados, Museo de La Plata (FCNyM-UNLP) includes 110 type lots 42 species. A list types the crustacean orders Anostraca (8 species), Diplostraca (5 Arguloida (3 Cyclopoida (1 Poecilostomatoida Siphonostomatoida (2 Podocopida (4 Amphipoda Isopoda Mysida species) and Decapoda is presented. Species names are listed in systematical order, including locality, collection number, current taxonomic status original bibliographic reference. For...
Context Freshwater ecosystems can experience significant disturbance from the introduction of non-native species. The sewage snail (SWGS), Physa acuta, has invaded numerous countries globally; however, a comprehensive assessment its impacts is still lacking. Aims Our objective was to qualitatively and quantitatively assess SWGS on ecosystem services. Methods this invasive were synthesised 135 references retrieved literature. frequency positive negative effects services compared using...
BackgroundCell-cell interactions are a basic principle for the organization of tissues and organs allowing them to perform integrated functions organize themselves spatially temporally. Peptidic molecules secreted by neurons epithelial cells play fundamental roles in cell-cell interactions, acting as local neuromodulators, neurohormones, well endocrine paracrine messengers. Allatotropin (AT) is neuropeptide originally described regulator Juvenile Hormone synthesis, which plays multiple...
We report for the first time occurrence of Obama marmorata in Iberian Peninsula as an introduced species from Neotropical Region. The is also reported Argentina. identification was made on basis morphological evidence. divergence levels a fragment mitochondrial cytochromec oxidaseI gene Argentinean and samples were studied. morphology two regions same matched original description species. A DNA barcoding matrix constructed using new sequences O. related taken GenBank. Among Geoplanidae,...
Abstract Obama nungara Carbayo, Álvarez‐Presas, Jones, & Riutort, 2016 is a land planarian (Platyhelminthes: Geoplanidae) native to southern South America, which has recently dispersed towards several countries of the European continent, thus becoming threat soil fauna. Its dispersion would be favoured by its wide food habit and tendency live linked humans, being plant trade most plausible vector dispersion. Here, we explored potential distribution O. on global scale using MaxEnt...
The golden mussel Limnoperna fortunei was introduced into Argentina in 1991 and has since been spreading through the Plata Guaíba basins at a rate of 240 km.year−1. To assess their ability to invade Andean tributaries Basin (Pilcomayo, Bermejo Salado del Norte rivers), current range assessed related abiotic parameters sites where they were present absent. These data then compared with known tolerances identify possible barriers invasion. Outputs suggested that three environmental are...
Corbicula fluminea is an aggressive invasive species of bivalve that arrived into the Río de la Plata River between late 60's and early 70's, dispersed widely throughout Neotropical region, evidencing a great adaptive flexibility to different environmental conditions. This functional hermaphrodite with larval incubation inside inner demibranch. Despite its widespread distribution, there are no previous studies complete gonadal histology reproductive cycle for this in region. In study,...
Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker, 1857), during its invasion process in South America, has caused severe impacts both on natural environments altering native biodiversity, ecosystem structure and function-, man-made structures causing economic looses. Twenty-one samples were taken from the right bank of Uruguay River, tributaries Paraná Rivers, drainage Esteros del Ibera Wetland. Based this fieldwork, presence larvae adults L. was determined. Also, through comparison environmental characteristic...
Based on published records and original data derived from our research, we have generated a checklist of symbiotic temnocephalan fauna 57 taxa freshwater invertebrate vertebrate hosts 16 families included in four classes the Neotropics. The contains 38 nominal species 3 genera belonging to Temnocephalida Diceratocephalidae, Didymorchidae Temnocephalidae. All (35) genus Temnocephala are endemic Neotropics 14 (40%) considered microendemic (i.e. only one record each single locality). While...
Limnoperna fortunei is an aggressive freshwater invader species recorded for the first time in 1991 at Balneario Bagliardi, Río de la Plata Estuary, Argentina. Since then it has spread rapidly within South America. We tested hypothesis that invasive need a span development of reproductive pattern once settled new environment. analyzed cycle population L. from Guaiba Lake (29°55′S; Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil) and compared with previous studies Bagliardi (34°52′S). studied 834 specimens Guaiba,...
High Andean wetlands are fragile systems, vulnerable to human activity and climate change. In the Arequipa region (Peru), there high lotic lentic systems currently affected by livestock raising, fish farming, dams. The aim of study was evaluate aquatic invertebrate community in Callalli-Oscollo possible impact activities. Samples were taken from November 2017 October 2018 at 4 sampling stations environments 2 environments. Macroinvertebrates identified family level. following determined...
