  • The Biodiverse Rotifers (Rotifera: Eurotatoria) of the Floodplain Wetlands of Barak Valley of Assam, Northeast India
    Opusc. Zool. Budapest, 2019, 50(1): 03–15 The biodiverse rotifers (Rotifera: Eurotatoria) of the floodplain wetlands of Barak valley of Assam, Northeast India B.K. SHARMA*, S. SHARMA Bhushan Kumar Sharma & Sumita Sharma Department of Zoology, North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong - 793 022, Meghalaya, India; *[email protected] (corresponding author) Abstract. The present analysis of alpha diversity of Rotifera of the floodplain wetlands of Barak valley, south Assam, northeast India (NEI) reveals 170 species, belonging to 39 genera and 19 families, with three species new to the Indian sub-region and two species new to Assam state. The rich and diverse rotifer assemblages comprise ~70%, ~57% and ~39% of total species of the Phylum known till date from Assam, NEI and India, respectively and thus affirm habitat and ecological heterogeneity of the Barak River floodplain wetlands. The elements of global biogeographic importance include one Australasian, eight Oriental, 10 Paleotropical, one Indo-Chinese, one cosmo (sub) tropical and four other species, and ~37% species merit regional distribution interest for India with ~13% exclusively reported from NEI. Lecanidae (~30%) and Brachionidae ≈ Lepadellidae (~32%) largely contribute to the rotifer richness; Trichocercidae > Testudinellidae are notable (~15%), and Notommatidae, Euchlanidae, Mytilinidae, Trichotriidae and Trochosphaeridae collectively form 16.5%. Lecane is the most speciose genus; Lepadella > Brachionus = Trichocerca include ~32% species, while Testudinella > Keratella deserve mention. Rotifera of the Barak floodplains exhibit the littoral-periphytonic nature, several small sized species and tropical character. Keywords. Barak River, biodiversity, composition, important taxa, richness, south Assam. INTRODUCTION river basin of south Assam (known as Barak valley) which is yet practically unexplored with otifera or Rotatoria, an integral component of regards to rotifer fauna (Sharma & Sharma R aquatic metazoans, have been recorded from 2014a).

During the last eight decades, fewer than 80 publications have dealt specifically with sessile rotifers, while more than 7600 articles have focused on rotifers in general. In this work research on the sessile rotifers with emphasis on the Mexican fauna has been reviewed and some additional information on the new records has been included. Difficulties involved in collection and maintenance of sessile rotifers, as well as problems of identification and quantification have been considered. Published data on the ecology and taxonomy of this group has also been reviewed. There are 35 species of sessile rotifers from three families Atrochidae, Collothecidae, and Flosculariidae, but to that four more species in the planktonic family Conochilidae may be added, as recent molecular research indicates that this family lies within Flosculariidae.

E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] 2Freshwater Laboratory, Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Vautierstraat 29, 1000 Brussels, Belgium. E-mail: [email protected] 3Corresponding author Abstract In response to a clear gap in knowledge on the biodiversity of sessile Gnesiotrocha rotifers at both global as well as re- gional Southeast Asian scales, we performed a study of free-living colonial and epiphytic rotifers attached to fifteen aquat- ic plant species in Thale Noi Lake, the first Ramsar site in Thailand. We identified 44 different taxa of sessile rotifers, including thirty-nine fixosessile species and three planktonic colonial species. This corresponds with about 40 % of the global sessile rotifer diversity, and is the highest alpha-diversity of the group ever recorded from a single lake. The record further includes a new genus, Lacinularoides n. gen., containing a single species L. coloniensis (Colledge, 1918) n. comb., which is redescribed, and several possibly new species, one of which, Ptygura thalenoiensis n. spec. is formally described here. Ptygura noodti (Koste, 1972) n. comb. is relocated from Floscularia, based on observations of living specimens of this species, formerly known only from preserved, contracted specimens from the Amazon region.

Mihuc (faculty) Lake Champlain Research Institute, SUNY Plattsburgh, Plattsburgh, NY 12901 ABSTRACT This key was developed by undergraduate research students working on a project with NYDEC and the Lake Champlain Monitoring program to develop long-term data sets for Lake Champlain plankton. Funding for development of this key was provided by, the Lake Champlain Basin Program and the New York Department of Environmental Conservation (NYDEC). The key contains couplet keys for the major taxa in Cladocera and Copepoda and Rotifer plankton in Lake Champlain. Illustrations are by Erin Hayes-Pontius and Ian Ater. Many thanks to the employees of the Lake Champlain Research Institute for hours of excellent work in the field and in the lab: especially Casey Bingelli, Heather Bradley, Amanda Groves and Carrianne Pershyn. Keywords: Lake Champlain; zooplankton; identification; key INTRODUCTION Lake Champlain is one of the largest freshwater bodies in the United States. The Lake Champlain drainage basin is bordered by the Adirondack Mountains of New York to the west and the Green Mountains of Vermont to the east. This unique ecosystem has a surface area of 1130 km2, a length of 200 km and a mean depth of 19.4 m. The lake shoreline extends from Quebec in the north, 200 km south to Whitehall, New York, where it connects to the Hudson-Champlain canal. Islands and man-made transport causeways divide the lake into several distinct parts: Main Lake, South Lake, and Northeast Arm including Missisquoi Bay, and Malletts Bay.

The biodiverse Rotifera of northeast India (NEI) revealed 303 species belonging to 53 genera and 24 families; ~96% of these species examined from seven states of NEI affirm the rotifer heterogeneity of our plankton and semi-plank- ton collections. This study documents the record number of species of global and regional biogeographic interest, high- lights affinity with Southeast Asian and Australian faunas, and indicates notable heterogeneity in richness and composition amongst the seven northeastern states. The speciose rotifers of small lentic biotopes of Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Manipur and Tripura, the floodplain lakes beels( ) and small wetlands (dobas and dubies) of the Brahmaputra and the Barak floodplains of Assam, and the floodplain lakes (pats) of Manipur are noteworthy. Deepor Beel and Loktak Lake (two Ramsar sites) are the globally rich rotifer `hotspots’. Interesting assemblages per sample of 80+ species in certain beels and pats, and up to 50 species in dobas and dubies depict the `Rotifera paradox’.

  • About the Book the Format Acknowledgments
    About the Book For more than ten years I have been working on a book on bryophyte ecology and was joined by Heinjo During, who has been very helpful in critiquing multiple versions of the chapters. But as the book progressed, the field of bryophyte ecology progressed faster. No chapter ever seemed to stay finished, hence the decision to publish online. Furthermore, rather than being a textbook, it is evolving into an encyclopedia that would be at least three volumes. Having reached the age when I could retire whenever I wanted to, I no longer needed be so concerned with the publish or perish paradigm. In keeping with the sharing nature of bryologists, and the need to educate the non-bryologists about the nature and role of bryophytes in the ecosystem, it seemed my personal goals could best be accomplished by publishing online. This has several advantages for me. I can choose the format I want, I can include lots of color images, and I can post chapters or parts of chapters as I complete them and update later if I find it important. Throughout the book I have posed questions. I have even attempt to offer hypotheses for many of these. It is my hope that these questions and hypotheses will inspire students of all ages to attempt to answer these. Some are simple and could even be done by elementary school children. Others are suitable for undergraduate projects. And some will take lifelong work or a large team of researchers around the world. Have fun with them! The Format The decision to publish Bryophyte Ecology as an ebook occurred after I had a publisher, and I am sure I have not thought of all the complexities of publishing as I complete things, rather than in the order of the planned organization.

    Journal26 of Species Research 6(Special Edition):26-37,JOURNAL 2017 OF SPECIES RESEARCH Vol. 6, Special Edition New records of 13 rotifers including Bryceella perpusilla Wilts et al., 2010 and Philodina lepta Wulfert, 1951 from Korea Min Ok Song* Department of Biology, Gangneung-Wonju National University, Gangwon-do 25457, Republic of Korea *Correspondent: [email protected], [email protected] Rotifers collected from various terrestrial and aquatic habitats such as mosses on trees or rocks, tree barks, wet mosses and wet leaf litter at streams, and dry leaf litter at four different locations in Korea, were investigated. Thirteen species belonging to nine genera in five families of monogonont and bdelloid rotifers were identified: Bryceella perpusilla Wilts, Martinez Arbizu and Ahlrichs, 2010, Collotheca ornata (Ehrenberg, 1830), Habrotrocha flava Bryce, 1915, H. pusilla (Bryce, 1893), Macrotrachela aculeata Milne, 1886, M. plicata (Bryce, 1892), Mniobia montium Murray, 1911, M. tentans Donner, 1949, Notommata cyrtopus Gosse, 1886, Philodina lepta Wulfert, 1951, P. tranquilla Wulfert, 1942, Pleuretra hystrix Bartoš, 1950 and Proalinopsis caudatus (Collins, 1873). All these rotifers are new to Korea, and B. perpusilla, H. flava, M. montium, P. caudatus, P. hystrix and P. lepta are new to Asia as well. Of interest, the present study is the first to record B. perpusilla outside its type locality. In addition, P. lepta has previously been recorded from only three European countries.

  • The Rotifers of Spanish Reservoirs: Ecological, Systematical and Zoogeographical Remarks
    91 THE ROTIFERS OF SPANISH RESERVOIRS: ECOLOGICAL, SYSTEMATICAL AND ZOOGEOGRAPHICAL REMARKS Jordi de Manuel Barrabin Departament d'Ecologia, Universitat de Barcelona. Avd. Diagonal 645,08028 Barcelona. Spain,[email protected] ABSTRACT This article covers the rotifer data from a 1987/1988 survey of one hundred Spanish reservoirs. From each species brief infor- mation is given, focused mainly on ecology, morphology, zoogeography and distribution both in Spain and within reservoirs. New autoecological information on each species is also established giving conductivity ranges, alkalinity, pH and temperature for each. Original drawings and photographs obtained on both optical and electronic microscopy are shown of the majority of the species found. In total one hundred and ten taxa were identified, belonging to 101 species, representing 20 families: Epiphanidae (1): Brachionidae (23); Euchlanidae (1); Mytilinidae (1 ): Trichotriidae (3): Colurellidae (8); Lecanidae (1 5); Proalidae (2); Lindiidae (1); Notommatidae (5); Trichocercidae (7); Gastropodidae (5); Synchaetidae (1 1); Asplanchnidae (3); Testudinellidae (3); Conochiliidae (5):Hexarthridae (2); Filiniidae (3); Collothecidae (2); Philodinidae (Bdelloidea) (I). Thirteen species were new records for the Iberian rotifer fauna: Kerutella ticinensis (Ehrenberg); Lepadella (X.) ustucico- la Hauer; Lecane (M.) copeis Harring & Myers; Lecane tenuiseta Harring: Lecane (M.) tethis Harring & Myers; Proales fal- laciosa Wulfert; Lindia annecta Harring & Myers; Notommatu cerberus Hudson & Gosse; Notommata copeus Ehrenberg: Resticula nyssu Harring & Myers; Trichocerca vernalis Hauer; Gustropus hyptopus Ehrenberg: Collothecu mutabilis Hudson.
