Early Miocene Amber Inclusions from Mexico Reveal Antiquity Of
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Early Miocene amber inclusions from Mexico reveal antiquity of mangrove-associated copepods Received: 29 March 2016 Rony Huys1, Eduardo Suárez-Morales2, María de Lourdes Serrano-Sánchez3, Accepted: 16 September 2016 Elena Centeno-García4 & Francisco J. Vega4 Published: 12 October 2016 Copepods are aquatic microcrustaceans and represent the most abundant metazoans on Earth, outnumbering insects and nematode worms. Their position of numerical world predominance can be attributed to three principal radiation events, i.e. their major habitat shift into the marine plankton, the colonization of freshwater and semiterrestrial environments, and the evolution of parasitism. Their variety of life strategies has generated an incredible morphological plasticity and disparity in body form and shape that are arguably unrivalled among the Crustacea. Although their chitinous exoskeleton is largely resistant to chemical degradation copepods are exceedingly scarce in the geological record with limited body fossil evidence being available for only three of the eight currently recognized orders. The preservation of aquatic arthropods in amber is unusual but offers a unique insight into ancient subtropical and tropical ecosystems. Here we report the first discovery of amber-preserved harpacticoid copepods, represented by ten putative species belonging to five families, based on Early Miocene (22.8 million years ago) samples from Chiapas, southeast Mexico. Their close resemblance to Recent mangrove-associated copepods highlights the antiquity of the specialized harpacticoid fauna living in this habitat. With the taxa reported herein, the Mexican amber holds the greatest diversity of fossil copepods worldwide. Copepods are among the most speciose and morphologically diverse groups of crustaceans, encompassing 236 families and roughly 13,970 described species. -

Annls Limnol. 33 (4) 1997 : 245-253 Two new copepod species (Crustacea : Copepoda) from the Ohrid Lake .i T.K. Petkovski1 T. Karanovic2'3 Keywords: taxonomy, Copepoda, Diacyclops, Bryocamptus, Ohrid Lake. Two new copepod species are described from Lake Ohrid (Balkan peninsula). Diacyclops ichnusoides n.sp. (Cyclopoida, Cyclopidae) collected from interstitial waters on the lake coast, and it belongs to the "languidoides"-group. Bryocamptus (R.) minis n.sp. (Harpacticoida, Canthocamptidae) lives in deep water and belongs to the "zschokkei"-group. With this investigation, the copepod list in Lake Ohrid increases to 36 species, of which 6 are endemic.

He separated new genus from the genus Cantkocamptus, and at that time genus Elaphoidella counted twenty-five species and subspecies. In the next few decades genus Elaphoidella rapidly enlarges, mostly because of the great number of subterranean species. Up to 1948, fifty-three species were known, and LANG (1948) classified them into ten groups, mainly on the basis of the shape of the bizarre transformed spines on male's Exp3P4. PETKOVSKI and BRANCELJ (1988) added one new (eleventh) group. The only problem with classification into groups is necessity of both sexes, while many species are described and known just as one sex (mostly female). One unsuccessful attempt of revision of the genus Elaphoidella was made by APOSTOLOV (1985). Maybe the most detailed critical annotation of that revision is given by REID (1990). -

Observing Copepods Through a Genomic Lens James E Bron1*, Dagmar Frisch2, Erica Goetze3, Stewart C Johnson4, Carol Eunmi Lee5 and Grace a Wyngaard6
Bron et al. Frontiers in Zoology 2011, 8:22 http://www.frontiersinzoology.com/content/8/1/22 DEBATE Open Access Observing copepods through a genomic lens James E Bron1*, Dagmar Frisch2, Erica Goetze3, Stewart C Johnson4, Carol Eunmi Lee5 and Grace A Wyngaard6 Abstract Background: Copepods outnumber every other multicellular animal group. They are critical components of the world’s freshwater and marine ecosystems, sensitive indicators of local and global climate change, key ecosystem service providers, parasites and predators of economically important aquatic animals and potential vectors of waterborne disease. Copepods sustain the world fisheries that nourish and support human populations. Although genomic tools have transformed many areas of biological and biomedical research, their power to elucidate aspects of the biology, behavior and ecology of copepods has only recently begun to be exploited. Discussion: The extraordinary biological and ecological diversity of the subclass Copepoda provides both unique advantages for addressing key problems in aquatic systems and formidable challenges for developing a focused genomics strategy. This article provides an overview of genomic studies of copepods and discusses strategies for using genomics tools to address key questions at levels extending from individuals to ecosystems. Genomics can, for instance, help to decipher patterns of genome evolution such as those that occur during transitions from free living to symbiotic and parasitic lifestyles and can assist in the identification of genetic mechanisms and accompanying physiological changes associated with adaptation to new or physiologically challenging environments. The adaptive significance of the diversity in genome size and unique mechanisms of genome reorganization during development could similarly be explored. -

Milne4, Nicholas S. Gladstone5, Annette S. Engel6, John B. Jensen7, Carlos D. Camp8, James C. Ozier9, and Alan Cressler10 Abstract We provide an annotated checklist of species recorded from caves and other subterranean habitats in the state of Georgia, USA. We report 281 species (228 invertebrates and 53 vertebrates), including 51 troglobionts (cave-obligate species), from more than 150 sites (caves, springs, and wells). Endemism is high; of the troglobionts, 17 (33 % of those known from the state) are endemic to Georgia and seven (14 %) are known from a single cave. We identified three biogeographic clusters of troglobionts. Two clusters are located in the northwestern part of the state, west of Lookout Mountain in Lookout Valley and east of Lookout Mountain in the Valley and Ridge. In addition, there is a group of tro- globionts found only in the southwestern corner of the state and associated with the Upper Floridan Aquifer. At least two dozen potentially undescribed species have been collected from caves; clarifying the taxonomic status of these organisms would improve our understanding of cave biodiversity in the state. -

(Copepoda, Harpacticoida, Canthocamptidae) from caves in Thailand. Subterranean Biology 37: 57–73. https://doi.org/10.3897/subtbiol.37.55376 Abstract During this sampling campaign, the canthocamptid Attheyella (Canthosella) thailandica sp. nov. was col- lected from various caves in Thailand. The new species is widely distributed in the country and favours habitats, such as phytotelmata and wet soil. Attheyella (Canthosella) thailandica sp. nov. is the second member of the genus to be found in Thailand, after Attheyella (Canthosella) vietnamica Borutzky (1967), which is most similar to it. Amongst Asian species, both A. (C.) thailandica sp. nov. and A. (C.) vietnamica have identical setal formulae, with a greater number of armatures on the distal endopods of legs 2–4. However, A. (C.) thailandica sp. nov. markedly differs from A. (C.) vietnamica in the insertion point of the dorsal seta and the presence of inner spinules on the caudal ramus. Additionally, the leg 4 endopod is two-segmented in A. -
A New Species of Cletocamptus (Copepoda: Harpacticoida) From
Journal of Natural History, 2007; 41(1–4): 39–60 A new species of Cletocamptus (Copepoda: Harpacticoida) from Chile and some notes on Cletocamptus axi Mielke, 2000 S. GO´ MEZ1, R. SCHEIHING2 & P.

Although the Chilean material was preliminarily identified as C. axi, after careful inspection, it was clearly a new Chilean Cletocamptus species, C. cecsurirensis. The new species was found to be similar to C. levis, C. sinaloensis, C. fourchensis, C. deborahdexterae, and C. axi in the combination of the armature formula of the mandibular palp, shape of the lateral spinulose element of the maxillulary arthrite, and armature formula of P1–P4. Cletocamptus cecsurirensis and C. levis can be distinguished from C. sinaloensis, C. fourchensis, and C. deborahdexterae by the P1 EXP:ENP length ratio. Cletocamptus cecsurirensis and C. levis can be separated by the P5 baseoendopod:EXP length ratio. Cletocamptus cecsurirensis shows the sexual dimorphism typical for the genus. The new species also shows sexual dimorphism in the rostrum, similar to that found for C. retrogressus, C. albuquerquensis, and C. levis.
