In this paper we have tried to reconstruct the evolution of this historic institute’s activities, analyzing how theoretical and applied limnology have coexisted as the interests of researchers and funding agencies have changed. Theoretical developments of great ecological interest and effective models for the management of inland waters have emerged from this coexistence. Our aim is to trace the co-development of theoretical and applied limnology through the institute’s scientific output and to indicate the future direction of limnological research.

  • The Aquatic Glacial Relict Fauna of Norway – an Update of Distribution and Conservation Status
    Fauna norvegica 2016 Vol. 36: 51-65. The aquatic glacial relict fauna of Norway – an update of distribution and conservation status Ingvar Spikkeland1, Björn Kinsten2, Gösta Kjellberg3, Jens Petter Nilssen4 and Risto Väinölä5 Spikkeland I, Kinsten B, Kjellberg G, Nilssen JP, Väinölä R. 2016. The aquatic glacial relict fauna of Norway – an update of distribution and conservation status. Fauna norvegica 36: 51-65. The aquatic “glacial relict” fauna in Norway comprises a group of predominantly cold-water animals, mainly crustaceans, which immigrated during or immediately after the deglaciation when some of the territory was still inundated by water. Their distribution is mainly confined to lakes in the SE corner of the country, east of the Glomma River in the counties of Akershus, Østfold and Hedmark. We review the history and current status of the knowledge on this assemblage and of two further similarly distributed copepod species, adding new observations from the last decades, and notes on taxonomical changes and conservation status. By now records of original populations of these taxa have been made in 42 Norwegian lakes. Seven different species are known from Lake Store Le/Foxen on the Swedish border, whereas six species inhabit lakes Femsjøen, Øymarksjøen and Rødenessjøen, and five are found in Aspern, Aremarksjøen and in the largest Norwegian lake, Mjøsa. From half of the localities only one of the species is known. The most common species are Mysis relicta (s.str.), Pallaseopsis quadrispinosa and Limnocalanus macrurus. Some populations may have become extirpated recently due to eutrophi- cation, acidification or increased fish predation. Apart from the main SE Norwegian distribution, some lakes of Jæren, SW Norway, also harbour relict crustaceans, which is puzzling.

    — ; SYNOPSIS OF THE CALANOID CRUSTACEANS, EXCLU- SIVE OF THE DIAPTOMIDAE, FOUND IN FRESH AND BRACKISH WATERS, CHIEFLY OF NORTH AMERICA By C. DwiGHT Marsh ^ Honorary Custodian of Fresh-water Copepods, Division of Marine Inverte- brates, United States National Museum The term Calanoida for a suborder of Copepoda is used herein as defined by G. O. Sars. The calanoid species found in North and South America are in the families Centropagidae, Diaptomidae. Pseudodiaptomidae, Senecellidae, and Temoridae. Though this paper is intended specifically to cover the forms of North America, the discussion of species is not limited to those of that continent, but in some cases includes those of the world. Among the Centropagidae of North America are found the genera Limnocalamis and Osfhranticum. The Temoridae of North America include the genera Eurytemiora^ Heteroco'pe^ and Eyischv/ra. The family Pseudodiaptomidae includes the genera Psevdodia'ptornus and SchrtuLckeria. The new family Senecellidae has only one genus, Senecella. KETsr TO the; geneea of the fresh-watee calanoida 1.

    Vol. 353: 157–164, 2008 MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published January 17 doi: 10.3354/meps07185 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Time-series measurements of oxygen consumption of copepod nauplii Marion Köster1,*, Christian Krause2, Gustav-Adolf Paffenhöfer3 1Institut für Ökologie der Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-Universität Greifswald, Schwedenhagen 6, 18565 Kloster/Hiddensee, Germany 2Presens Precision Sensing GmbH, Josef-Engert-Str. 11, 93053 Regensburg, Germany 3Skidaway Institute of Oceanography, 10 Ocean Science Circle, Savannah, Georgia 31411, USA ABSTRACT: The goal of this study was to determine over time with high temporal resolution the oxy- gen consumption rates of nauplii of marine planktonic copepods while feeding on phytoplankton at environmental concentrations. The determination of the nauplii’s oxygen consumption was achieved by applying a fluorescence-based non-invasive technology. The hourly oxygen consumption at 21°C –1 –1 ranged from near 18 nl O2 Nauplius IV to about 33 nl O2 Nauplius VI of the calanoid Eucalanus pileatus. The nauplii’s feeding activity was reflected by an average reduction of food concentration of about 50% of the initial abundance and a production of 2.2 pellets nauplius–1 h–1. The nauplii’s aver- age food consumption, at a rate equal to 17.7% of body weight d–1, did not cover their metabolic expenses of 29.7% of body weight d–1. Their feeding performance could have been to some extent limited by the size of the experimental vessels. Microscopic observations showed that the motion of late nauplii of E. pileatus was continuous (i.e. as previously observed) in vessels of 250 ml and larger.
