  • 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).

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’.

  • Rotifera: Monogononta: Lecanidae) from China
    Biologia 65/3: 512—514, 2010 Section Zoology DOI: 10.2478/s11756-010-0048-0 Description of Lecane yatseni sp. n. (Rotifera: Monogononta: Lecanidae) from China Nan Wei & Runlin Xu* School of Life Science, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, Guangdong 510275, China; e-mail: xurunlin [email protected] Abstract: Lecane yatseni sp. n., collected from the littoral of an artificial lake on Qi’ao island of the Pearl River estuary, Guangdong province, south of China, is described and figured. It is closely related to one of the commonest species of the genus, Lecane luna, resembling Lecane papuana, but distinguished by the presence of inwardly curved aculeated antero- lateral spines and broad-based spine-formed projections close to the middle of the ventral head aperture margin. Key words: Rotifera; Qi’ao island; Lecane yatseni sp. n. Introduction The family’s single genus, Lecane Nitzsch, 1827, is one of the most species-rich genera of Rotifera. There are more than 200 species in the genus at present (Segers 2007). They live mainly in benthic periphytic and in- terstitial habitats, and most of them live in freshwater. About 40 of them have been found in saltwaters: 21 eu- ryhaline species, 13 haloxenous species, at least seven strictly haline species have been reported, occurring in inland saline and/or marine habitats (Fontaneto et al. 2008). More than 60 species of the genus were recorded in China up to 1997, and most of the named taxa are widely distributed or cosmopolitan, with only Lecane chinesensis (Zhuge et Koste, 1996) possibly restricted to China (Zhuge et al.

  • Distinct Difference of Littoral Rotifer Community Structure in Two Mangrove Wetlands of Qi'ao Island, Pearl River Estuary, China Nan Wei1 and Run-Lin Xu2*
    Wei and Xu Zoological Studies 2014, 53:30 http://www.zoologicalstudies.com/content/53/1/30 RESEARCH Open Access Distinct difference of littoral rotifer community structure in two mangrove wetlands of Qi'ao Island, Pearl River estuary, China Nan Wei1 and Run-Lin Xu2* Abstract Background: Less study was focused on the ecological community of littoral rotifers than on pelagic area worldwide. Moreover, rotifers were overlooked mostly due to the improper sampling methods and lack of experienced taxonomists for ecological researches, and the diversity and role of estuarine rotifers in ecological systems were underestimated severely. Results: A long-term investigation of the littoral rotifer in a shallow mangrove swamp (MS) and a tidal creek (TC) of Qi'ao Island, the Pearl River estuary of southern China, revealed significant differences of the community structure at different sites and in different seasons. Ninety-four monogonont rotifers were detected in total. The average abundance of rotifer at MS (97.0 individuals/L) was lower than that at TC (140.8 individuals/L), but all average diversity indexes at MS were higher than those at TC. The main species at MS were Colurella sp.1, Encentrum marinum, Colurella adriatica, Synchaeta cf. kitina, Synchaeta sp., and Cephalodella cf. innersi, whereas they were Synchaeta cf. kitina and Brachionus angularis at TC. The rotifer community was correlated with the salinity and total nitrogen group most at MS, while temperature contributed most at TC. Conclusions: This study revealed higher diversity and abundance of littoral rotifers at the two close mangrove wetlands of Qi'ao Island compared to other studies.

Shiel & Lor-wai Tan Executive summary Following the wettest year on record in the Murray-Darling Basin in 2010, exceptional floods into Sth Australia from the Murray and Darling Rivers inundated the Lower Lakes and Coorong Lagoons through 2011. These were the first significant inflows after a decade of drought, during which the Lower Lakes and Coorong were salinizing. DENR-sponsored studies of the zooplankton communities of the Lower Lakes (Lock, 2011) and the Coorong Nth Lagoon (Shiel & Aldridge 2011) during the floods established that a rotifer-dominated (riverine) assemblage replaced the microcrustacean-dominated (estuarine) assemblage in the Murray Mouth and North Lagoon sites, with 70% of the zooplankton taxa recorded above the barrages in Lake Alexandrina or the Goolwa Channel.

    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.
