Branchiopoda, Laevicaudata, Lynceidae) in France
FIRST RECORD OF LYNCEUS BRACHYURUS MÜLLER, 1776 (BRANCHIOPODA, LAEVICAUDATA, LYNCEIDAE) IN FRANCE BY NICOLAS RABET1,3), JEAN-FRANÇOIS CART2), DAVID MONTERO1) and HABIB BOULEKBACHE1) 1) Laboratoire de Biologie du Développement, Université Paris 7- Denis Diderot, case 7077, 2 Place Jussieu, F-75251 Paris cedex 5, France 2) 15, avenue du Général de Gaulle, F-10400 Nogent-sur-Seine, France ABSTRACT Lynceus brachyurus (Branchiopoda, Laevicaudata, Lynceidae) has been found in France for the first time. This species lives in various types of temporary ponds that depend on the ground water level. We provide some ecological, biogeographical, and morphological information about Lynceus brachyurus and indicate the occurrence of remarkable sympatric organisms, such as the endemic fairy shrimp Chirocephalus spinicaudatus (Branchiopoda, Anostraca). Those species confined to a restricted area are considered as seriously threatened because of the severe degradation of their biotope. RÉSUMÉ Lynceus brachyurus (Branchiopoda, Laevicaudata, Lynceidae) a été signalé pour la première fois en France. Cette espèce est présente dans différentes mares temporaires dépendant du niveau d’eau souterrain. Nous présentons des informations écologiques, biogéographiques et morphologiques sur cette espèce et signalons la présence de remarquables espèces sympatriques comme l’endémique Chirocephalus spinicaudatus (Branchiopoda, Anostraca). Ces espèces restreintes à une zone limitée sont sérieusement menacées en raison d’une rapide dégradation du biotope. INTRODUCTION In Europe, the order Laevicaudata is represented by only two species of Lynceus: L. andronachensis Botnariuc, 1947, an endemic of the Bucarest region (Romania) and L. brachyurus Müller, 1776, a Holarctic species.

Keys to the Australian clam shrimps Introduction Australia has a diverse clam shrimp fauna with about 78 species in nine genera recognised in 2017 (Rogers et al., 2012; Timms, 2012, 2013; Schwentner et al., 2012a,b, 2013a,b, 2015b,a; Timms & Schwentner, 2017; Tippelt & Schwent- ner, 2018) . This is an explosion from 26 species in 2008 (Richter & Timms, 2005; Brendonck et al., 2008) when Australia‘s proportion of the world fauna was about 15%; now it is about 30%. It is anticipated another five species will be described before 2020.

Ocampo Q., Mónica Botero A. and Luis Fernando Restrepo Antioquia University Colombia 1. Introduction In nature, zooplankton is the main nutritional source of poslarvae and young fish. The natural food offers essential nutrients to guarantee the survival and the growth of fish during their first development stages (Furuya et al. 1999). The description of feed value of living food, has been made by Watanabeetet al., (1998); Kraul, (2006). Living food has a vital job on seed production in fish farms. Without this living food, it is not possible to overcome an adequate survival rate, in species exclusively dependent (Kubitza, 1997; Lahnsteiner et al., 2009). Micro crustaceans are highly important in aquaculture, mainly the freshwater genera Moina and Daphnia spp, these two are found in diverse natural environments (FAO, 1996).Daphnia genera includes D. magna, D. pulex, D. longispina among others. In crops of freshwater spices, poslarvae are fed with 2 or 3 organisms during the beginning of their first hexogen feeding, during their first 10 to 30 days (Lubzens & Zmora, (2003), as cited in Stottrup & Mc Evoy, 2003; Botero, 2004; Prieto, 2006). -

Bull. Southern Califorma Acad. Set. 92(2), 1993, pp. n-»i O Southern California Academy of Sciences, 1993 The Spinicaudatan Clam Shrimp Genus Leptestheria Sars, 1898 (Crustacea, Branchiopoda) in California Joel W. Martin and Cora E. Cash-Clark Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, 900 Exposition Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90007 Abstract.—The spinicaudatan clam shrimp genus Leptestheria, the only genus of the family Leptestheriidae known from North America, is reported for the first time from California. Leptestheria compleximanus (Packard, 1877), which earlier had been erroneously reported from California (based on specimens collected in Baja California, Mexico), was found in two locations in the western Mojave Desert of California, where it occurs sympatrically with notostracans and anostracans. Some brief notes on natural history of the species, and a taxonomic synonymy, are provided. The branchiopod crustacean orders Spinicaudata and Laevicaudata (formerly united as the order Conchostraca; see Fryer 1987; Martin and Balk 1988; Martin 1992) currently include five extant families commonly called clam shrimp. The Laevicaudata contains only the family Lynceidae, with three known genera, two of which are known from North America (see Martin and Belk 1988). The Spin icaudata contains four families (Cyclestheriidae, Cyzicidae, Leptestheriidae, and Limnadiidae), all of which contain at least some species known from North /\riid*ic3.. In California, only two spinicaudatan families have previously been reported. The Limnadiidae is represented by several species in the diverse genus Eulimnadia (Belk 1989; Sassaman 1989). The taxonomically confusing family CyEicidae is also relatively common (Mattox 1957a; Wootton and Mattox 1958), although species and genera in this family are badly in need of systematic reevaluation (e.g., see Straskraba 1965). -

Although more than 70 species have been reported for Asia and Indonesia, only six native taxa and one introduced species are known from SE Asia. The majority of records are from Thailand, with fewer than three records each from Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Singapore. Eleven genera reported from adjacent regions may potentially occur in SE Asia. Spinicaudatan clam shrimp have been collected from Thailand and Cambodia, but have not been identified beyond genus. Four of the five native fairy shrimp species are endemic to SE Asia. The limited distributions of these few taxa suggest that this region has a distinct branchiopod fauna. In addition, we present new species and records of clam shrimp from Thailand. -

Here the extant Laevicaudata are defined and diagnosed according to modern standards, and synapomorphies are listed, discussed, and illustrated. A catalogue of the Laevicaudata is presented with synonyms and some taxa are partially revised. One hundred and three recent laevicaudatan taxa are presented, of which 39 are considered valid species. Chresonyms are provided for taxa redescribed according to modern standards.

During this period several studies dealing with freshwater large branchiopods (FLB) were carried out, resulting in scientific publications and project reports. The distribution of FLB in Portugal was presented in 2 international scientific meetings, but apart from a first paper by Vianna-Fernandes in 1951 and an update done by ourselves in 1999 concerning the southwest Portugal, no other information has been published. Therefore, this work intends to bring up to date the known distribution of this faunal group in freshwater temporary systems. This is pertinent because of the recent revision of the taxon Triops cancriformis on the basis of genetic analyses.
