Die am weitesten verbreitete Art ist Asellus ( Asellus) aquaticus (L., 175 8); sie ist ein sibirisches Faunenelement, das sich postglazial nach Westen hin ausgebreitet hat (BrRSTEIN 1951; WILLIAMS 1962). Weitaus weniger häufig tritt die zweite Art, Proasellus coxalis (Dollfus, 1892), auf; diese im übrigen circummediterran verbreitete Art ist in Mittel­ europa mit der Unterart septentrionalis (Herbst, 1956) vertreten, die vermutlich erst in jüngster Zeit eingeschleppt worden ist (HERHAUS 1977). Am seltensten ist auf deutschem Boden die dritte Art, Proasellus meridianus (Racovitza, 1919). P. meridianus ist eine autochthon west­ europä,isch-atlantische Form (GRUNER 1965); in Deutschland wurde sie von STAMMER (1932) am linken Niederrhein nachgewiesen. Für die sichere Bestimmung der drei Arten ist die Untersuchung der Pleopoden II unter dem Binokular unerläßlich.

  • Asellota, Asellidae)
    The Freshwater lsopods of the Genus Lirceus (Asellota, Asellidae) LESLIE HUBRICHT and J. G. MACKIN V Reprinted from "THE AMERICAN MIDLAND NATURALIST" Vol. 42, No. 2, pp. 334-349, September, 1949 Notre Dame, Ind. The Freshwater lsopods of the Genus Lirceus (Asellota, Asellidae) Leslie Hubricht 912 Main St., Danville, Virginia J. G. Mackin Texas A & M Research Foundation, Grande Isle, Louisiana In the genus Asellus we have, in the first and second pleopoda of the male, characters which can be relied upon to distinguish the species, but in Lirceus these appendages are so similar in different species that they are, with one exception, useless as a means of separation. This is not because the species of Lirceus are less distinct than Asellus, but requires that the animal as a whole be studied rather than a single appendage. To an experienced observer the various species are easily distinguished in the field by those subtile differences in form and color which are almost impossible to describe. Difficulties begin when one brings specimens into the laboratory and attempts to define the dif- ferences. The commonest cause of difficulty is depauperate specimens. Under adverse conditions the animals are stunted, the gnathopoda do not develop their processes, and the uropoda remain in juvenile form. When this depau- perization is extreme the collection cannot be determined, but must be as- sumed to belong to the species in the range of which it was found. The isopods discussed herein have, in the past, been treated under the generic name Mancasellus Harger, rather than the prior Lirceus of Rafinesque.

  • Isopoda, Asellota) with Some Phylogenetic Considerations Concerning Asellota
    Crustaceana 48 (2) 1985, E. J. Brill, Leiden A CONTRIBUTION TO THE GENERAL MORPHOLOGY OF PROTOJANIRIDAE (ISOPODA, ASELLOTA) WITH SOME PHYLOGENETIC CONSIDERATIONS CONCERNING ASELLOTA BY B. SKET Institut za biologijo, Univerza E. Kardelja v Ljubljani, p.p. 141, YU 61001 Ljubljana, Yugoslavia Since most representatives of the superfamily Gnathostenetroidoidea have been described only for "microtaxonomical" purposes, some important features and even peculiarities of the species and probably of the entire group have been overlooked. I took advantage of possessing a good sample of the comparatively very large representative, viz., Enckella lucei major Sket, 1982 (as well as some other species of the family Protojaniridae) to demonstrate some such features. Unfortunately, of the family Gnathostenetroididae I could study only specimens of an undescribed species from the Bahamas, while comparison with other representatives was possible only through illustrations. I abstained from comparing Enckella with the numerous and diverse Janiroidea, leaving this to a more versed student of that special group. I also abstained from discussing the remarkable idea about possible Asellotan nature of Microcerberidae (WageJe, J 980) which is anyway of little importance for the present subject. Cephalothorax ("head"). — With the exception of having two pairs of antennae, the Enckella's head bears greater resemblance to a prognathous in­ sect head than to an Asellid. The cephalic capsula is closed to a great extent, incorporating completely the first thoracomere. The capsula is closed and slightly sclerotised also behind the insertions of the maxillipeds, uniting them with the set of other mouth appendages. The clypeolabrum protrudes for­ wards, its inclination downwards is much less expressed than in most other groups of Isopoda.

  • And Community Structure
    studet reasol food , and ir comp fauna and S the re and I classr other unde paras Th simp SpeciesInteractions this r inter and CommunityStructure short from Ti Questions concerning the nature and importance of species interac- vari< tions have become increasingly controversial. In the mid-1960sit was tive thought that interspecific competition was the major organizing factor ond in many communities. Through the pioneering work of the late Robert and MacArthur and his students,many aspectsof the structure and dynam- com ics of bird communities seemedbest explained by competitive interac- ied r tions, which could be describedin a generalway by the Lotka-Volterra spec competition equations. This work, or at least its generality, has been ofn challengedon three levels. First, there is the question of how important species interactions are in general and whether the interactions are competitive, parasitic, predatory, or mutualistic. For example, Connell whi (1975)noted that a significantfraction of, but by no means all, commu- nities are physically rather than biotically controlled. In addition, there As has been a tendency in the last few years to concentrate on single- dyn species demography. While interactions between species can still be the considered in the guise of age-specificfecundity and mortality effects, (va the emphasisis away from a coevolutionary perspective and toward a hos individualistic concept of communities. the Second, the question of which type of interaction is most important sor in structuring a particular community is very much open. Many ecol- tha ogists have pointed out that the birds studied by MacArthur and his wit SPECIESINTERACTIONS 97 studentswere at or near the top of the food chain.

Additional samples from artificial substrates (1992–2003) and other techniques (various periods) were analysed. The combined data provide a global and dynamic view on the Peracarida community of the River Meuse, with the focus on the Amphipoda. Among the recent exotic species found, Crangonyx pseudogracilis is regressing, Dikerogammarus haemobaphes is restricted to the Condroz course of the river, Gammarus tigrinus is restricted to the lowlands and seems to regress, Jaera istri is restricted to the ‘tidal’ Meuse, Chelicorophium curvispinum is still migrating upstream into the Lorraine course without any strong impact on the other amphipod species.

  • Appendix 6 Plots of Absolute Diversification Age Estimates (Ma
    Morvan et al. Timetree of Aselloidea reveals species diversification dynamics in groundwater Appendix 6 Appendix 6 Plots of absolute diversification age estimates (Ma) for different Bayesian relaxed molecular clock models. Left and right panels correspond to data sets inferred by the GMYC method and thresh- old method, respectively. Age estimates along the X-axis are from the uncorrelated lognormal model (BEAST), whereas dating estimates along the Y-axis in the upper and lower panels are from the uncor- related exponential model (BEAST) and the correlated lognormal model (Multidivtime), respectively. Solid lines show linear regressions between age estimations for the different models, and dotted lines in- dicate 1:1 equivalence relationships. Error bars represent 95% posterior density (HPD) intervals for each node. Dating estimates were plotted for 20 benchmark clades spanning Aselloidea diversity: Aselloidea crown group diversification, Asellidae crown group diversification, Stenasellidae crown group diversifica- tion, Bragasellus/Synasellus/Lirceolus/Gallasellus/Caecidotea/Remasellus crown group diversification, Proasellus crown group diversification, divergence between Mexistenasellus coahuila and Stenasellus gal- hanoe, divergence between Proasellus coxalis lineage and Proasellus Alpine/Ibero-aquitanian lineages, divergence between Proasellus Alpine lineage and Proasellus Ibero-aquitanian lineage, divergence be- tween Stenasellus virei/Stenasellus buili clade and other Stenasellus species, Proasellus coxalis lineage crown group diversification, Lirceolus/Gallasellus/Caecidotea/Remasellus crown group diversification, Proasellus Alpine lineage crown group diversification, Spanish Bragasellus crown group diversification, Proasellus Ibero-aquitanian lineage crown group diversification, Proasellus slavus lineage crown group diversification, Asellus crown group diversification, divergence between Proasellus coiffaiti and Proasel- lus slovenicus, Synasellus crown group diversification, and divergence between Proasellus beroni and Proasellus ligusticus.

  • Crustacea: Isopoda: Asellidae)
    Int. J. Speleol. 7 (1975) pp. 339-356. Three New Trogldbitic Asellids from Western North America (Crustacea: Isopoda: Asellidae) by Thomas E. BOWMAN* "Vlajto -- ^. ^ Troglobitic isopods of the family Asellidae, comprising about 42 species (Fleming, 1973), are widespread in the eastern United States, mostly in non-glaciated areas, but extending into some glaciated parts of Illinois and Indiana. To the west, tro- globitic asellids range to central Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. West of this area, if we exclude the 4 Mexican species of Mexistenasellus (Cole and Minckley, 1972; Magniez, 1972; Argano, 1973) which belong to a separate family, Stenasellidae (Henry and Magniez, 1968, 1970), only 2 troglobitic asellids are known from North America: Asellus californicus Miller (1933) from northern California and Conasellus pasquinii Argano (1972) from Veracruz state, Mexico. The 3 new species of western troglobitic asellids described herein extend the records of blind asellids in North America south to Chiapas state, Mexico, and north to central Alberta, Canada (ca. 53''N), and add a second species from Califor­ nia. The new species from Chiapas is very similar to Conasellus pasquinii Argano (1972); the new asellids from Alberta and California show no close affinities with known species. The generic status of North American species of Asellus is still unsettled. Henry and Magniez (1970) divided tlie species between Conasellus Stammer (1932) and ,- Pseudobaicalasellus Henry and Magniez (1968) except A. tomalensis Harford and ... A. californicus Miller, which they believed to be closely related to far-eastern forms belonging to Aseltus (Asellus) and Nipponasellus Matsumoto (1962). I have indi- " cated that this is unlikely for A.
