Summary 1. The spatial patterns of groundwater biodiversity in Europe remain poorly known, yet their knowledge is essential to understand local variation assemblages and develop sound conservation policies. We explore here the broad‐scale distribution across Europe, focussing on obligate subterranean species. 2. compiled published distributional data aquatic taxa for six European countries (Belgium, France, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia Spain), conducted a detailed biological survey regions (one...
Summary 1. Using species distribution data from 111 aquifers distributed in nine European regions, we examined the pairwise relationships between local richness (LSR), dissimilarity composition among localities, and regional (RSR). In addition, quantified relative contribution of three nested spatial units – aquifers, catchments regions to overall groundwater crustaceans. 2. The average number karst porous (LSR) varied significantly was dependent upon pool LSR–RSR differed habitats: karstic...
A new species of the genus Pacificabathynella Schminke and Noodt, 1988 is described from groundwaters Alaska (USA). This first record Bathynellacea Chappuis, 1915 far north America. has hitherto been known only states California (one species) Montana (three species). Paradoxibathynella Serban, 2000 are genera that show sexual dimorphism in thoracopod VI. yupik sp. nov. several unique features within genus: antenna eight-segmented; antennule slightly longer than antenna; setal formula maxilla...
Abstract Transition to novel environments, such as groundwater colonization by surface organisms, provides an excellent research ground study phenotypic evolution. However, interspecific comparative studies on evolution life are few because of the challenge in assembling large ecological and molecular resources for species‐rich taxa comprised subterranean species. Here, we make available scientific community operational set working tools Asellidae, a family freshwater isopods containing...
This study describes Morimotobathynellakoreana sp. nov., the first new species of Bathynellidae family reported in East Asia since 2000, and it presents molecular analysis using CO1 18S gene sequences. Morphological reveals that previously known Morimotobathynella uniquely share key characteristics male female thoracopods VIII. However, presence or absence median seta on antenna exopod, along with length differences between four spines furca, distinguish from M.miurai, 2000. A phylogenetic...
ABSTRACT In the last decade, peanut allergy has increased substantially. Significant differences in prevalence among different countries are attributed to type of thermal processing. spite high and severe reaction induced by peanuts, there is no immunotherapy available. The aim this work was evaluate potential application poly(anhydride) nanoparticles (NPs) as immunoadjuvants for oral immunotherapy. NPs loaded with raw or roasted proteins were prepared a solvent displacement method dried...
Morphological studies of small invertebrates often involve the preparation slides to observe minute body parts under a compound microscope. Preparation should facilitate observation, through traditional optical microscopy, surface structures on different planes, like pores, spines and setae. Various methods techniques, using mounting media that specialists have adopted preserve crustaceans, their advantages disadvantages. Within order Bathynellacea, specimens in family Bathynellidae are...
The Hexabathynella genus is the only of family Parabathynellidae that has supposedly a worldwide distribution. Currently, there are 23 species described from five continents. In Australia, two have been named eastern coast, however, few taxa collected Western Australia during stygofauna sampling as part research studies and legislated compliance-based Environmental Impact Assessments. One these areas includes Rottnest Island (Wadjemup), located offshore Perth in Australia. Unpublished data...
The epikarstic waters of a restricted sector the Ojo Guareña cave (north Iberian Peninsula) were investigated to characterize physico-chemical variation in an annual cycle, improve scarce knowledge aquatic fauna on Peninsula, look for distribution patterns species per habitat along and search environmental basis (either physico- or hydro-geochemical) that could explain epikarst. habitats studied included all puddles gours present selected making total 51 chemical 42 biological samples entire...
An annotated list of the 256 species and subspecies Syncarida known to occur in world is presented, including synonymies, information on habitat type (caves, springs, wells, etc.), locality, other localities where taxa have been found, an abbreviated reference original description important taxonomic references when available. Critical remarks about validity some are included. A summary genera per continent a map distribution presented. The work includes comprehensive syncarid literature.
La biodiversidad de la fauna las aguas subterráneas sigue siendo poco conocida. Los estudios diversidad biológica se ven negativamente afectados por inaccesibilidad del hábitat y crisis taxonómica. El objetivo este trabajo es estudiar los niveles divergencia genética poblaciones Bathynellacea, un pequeño grupo crustáceos que viven exclusivamente en subterráneas, para evaluar extensión especiación críptica clados morfológicamente constreñidos. Las secuencias parciales citocromo oxidasa I...
The number of subterranean taxa discovered in the north Western Australia has substantially increased due to requirements for environmental surveys related mining development. Challenges estimating biodiversity and distributions are lack knowledge with convergent morphological characters a largely unobservable ecosystem setting. An integrated approach is warranted understand such complexity. Bathynellidae occur most Australian aquifers, but only one species been described so far, group lacks...
Bathynella natans Vejdovsky, 1882, the first described Bathynellidae species, was found in a well Prague. Its original description short and incomplete, holotype already damaged 1899. The lack of type material resulted poor genus morphologically very homogeneous family. This troubled beginning is basis taxonomic problem that has led to assignment many species Europe other continents Bathynella. As currently understood, cosmopolitan, with more than 50 subspecies, most them insufficiently...
One new species of Racovitzaibathynella Serban and Coineau, 1994 one Cteniobathynella Schminke, 1973 the order Bathynellacea Chappuis, 1915 (family Parabathynellidae Noodt, 1065) are described from Benin in West Africa. These represent first records following a broad sampling throughout country. Two genus known South Africa is Chad Israel. Specimens beninensis Camacho Lagnika sp. n. boutini have unique combination morphological characters several shared generic features. has six-segmented...
