  • 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] 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.

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’.

    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect. All species names have been confirmed as valid species names, but it is not possible to confirm all species locations.

  • Rotifer Species Diversity in Mexico: an Updated Checklist

Nandini 1 1 Laboratory of Aquatic Zoology, FES Iztacala, National Autonomous University of Mexico, Av. de Los Barrios No. 1, Tlalnepantla 54090, Mexico; [email protected] 2 Posgrado en Ciencias del Mar y Limnología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Ciudad Universitaria, Mexico City 04510, Mexico; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +52-55-56231256 Abstract: A review of the Mexican rotifer species diversity is presented here. To date, 402 species of rotifers have been recorded from Mexico, besides a few infraspecific taxa such as subspecies and varieties. The rotifers from Mexico represent 27 families and 75 genera. Molecular analysis showed about 20 cryptic taxa from species complexes. The genera Lecane, Trichocerca, Brachionus, Lepadella, Cephalodella, Keratella, Ptygura, and Notommata accounted for more than 50% of all species recorded from the Mexican territory. The diversity of rotifers from the different states of Mexico was highly heterogeneous. Only five federal entities (the State of Mexico, Michoacán, Veracruz, Mexico City, Aguascalientes, and Quintana Roo) had more than 100 species. Extrapolation of rotifer species recorded from Mexico indicated the possible occurrence of more than 600 species in Mexican water bodies, hence more sampling effort is needed. In the current review, we also comment on the importance of seasonal sampling in enhancing the species richness and detecting exotic rotifer taxa in Mexico.

    1 Antarctic bdelloid rotifers: diversity, endemism and evolution 2 3 Introduction 4 5 Antarctica’s ecosystems are characterized by the challenges of extreme environmental 6 stresses, including low temperatures, desiccation and high levels of solar radiation, all of 7 which have led to the evolution and expression of well-developed stress tolerance features in 8 the native terrestrial biota (Convey, 1996; Peck et al., 2006). The availability of liquid water, 9 and its predictability, is considered to be the most important driver of biological and 10 biodiversity processes in the terrestrial environments of Antarctica (Block et al., 2009; 11 Convey et al., 2014). Antarctica’s extreme conditions and isolation combined with the over- 12 running of many, but importantly not all, terrestrial and freshwater habitats by ice during 13 glacial cycles, underlie the low overall levels of diversity that characterize the contemporary 14 faunal, floral and microbial communities of the continent (Convey, 2013). Nevertheless, in 15 recent years it has become increasingly clear that these communities contain many, if not a 16 majority, of species that have survived multiple glacial cycles over many millions of years 17 and undergone evolutionary radiation on the continent itself rather than recolonizing from 18 extra-continental refugia (Convey & Stevens, 2007; Convey et al., 2008; Fraser et al., 2014). 19 With this background, high levels of endemism characterize the majority of groups that 20 dominate the Antarctic terrestrial fauna, including in particular Acari, Collembola, Nematoda 21 and Tardigrada (Pugh & Convey, 2008; Convey et al., 2012). 22 The continent of Antarctica is ice-bound, and surrounded and isolated from the other 23 Southern Hemisphere landmasses by the vastness of the Southern Ocean.

Butut, E-mail: [email protected] Received: 17. February 2016 / Accepted: 01. June 2016 / Available online: 23. June 2016 / Printed: June 2017 Abstract. Rotifera species collected from Keban Dam Lake 65 km far away from Elazıg were surveyed taxonomically and fifteen taxa were identified. One of these taxa Keratella cochlearis hispida (Lauterborn, 1898), is new record for Turkish rotifer fauna. Key words: Rotifera, Keratella cochlearis hispida, Keratella cochlearis, diagnostic differences. The phylum Rotifera is mainly represented by freshwater Notholca squamula (Müller, 1786) species, widely distributed in all types of inland waters and Polyarthra dolicoptera Idelson, 1925 a by few marine species. Rotifera consists of approximately Sychaeta pectinata Ehrenberg, 1832 2030 described species Segers (2007). The Turkish rotifer is Trichocerca capucina (Wierzejski and Zacharias, 1893) relatively known (Dumont & De Ridder 1987, Emir 1991, In recent years many new rotifer taxa were observed in Segers et al. 1992, Altındağ & Yiğit 1999, Yiğit 2002, Ustaoğlu Turkish inland waters as; Dicranophorus epicharis, Lecane 2004, Yalım 2006, Kaya & Altındağ 2010, Ustaoğlu 2015) re- rhytida, Lecane obtusa and Testudinella parva (Altındağ et al. sulting in a total 417 taxa recorded from the country.
