  • Ostracode Endemism in Bear Lake, Utah and Idaho
    The Geological Society of America Special Paper 450 2009 Ostracode endemism in Bear Lake, Utah and Idaho Jordon Bright Department of Geology, Box 4099, Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, Arizona 86011, USA ABSTRACT Bear Lake, Utah and Idaho, is one of only a few lakes worldwide with endemic ostracode species. In most lakes, ostracode species distributions vary systemati- cally with depth, but in Bear Lake, there is a distinct boundary in the abundances of cosmopolitan and endemic valves in surface sediments at ~7 m water depth. This boundary seems to coincide with the depth distribution of endemic fi sh, indicating a biological rather than environmental control on ostracode species distributions. The cosmopolitan versus endemic ostracode species distribution persisted through time in Bear Lake and in a neighboring wetland. The endemic ostracode fauna in Bear Lake implies a complex ecosystem that evolved in a hydrologically stable, but not invariant, environmental setting that was long lived. Long-lived (geologic time scale) hydrologic stability implies the lake persisted for hundreds of thousands of years despite climate variability that likely involved times when effective moisture and lake levels were lower than today. The hydrologic budget of the lake is dominated by snowpack meltwater, as it likely was during past climates. The fractured and karstic bedrock in the Bear Lake catchment sustains local stream fl ow through the dry summer and sustains stream and ground- water fl ow to the lake during dry years, buffering the lake hydrology from climate variability and providing a stable environment for the evolution of endemic species. INTRODUCTION also contains four endemic fi sh species (Sigler and Sigler, 1996), which, excluding the Great Lakes basin (Smith, 1981; Smith and Bear Lake, Utah and Idaho, is an interesting lake for sev- Todd, 1984; Reed et al., 1998), is the largest number of endemic eral reasons.

Alkalaj; e-mail: [email protected] (Received 20 February 2018; accepted 25 February 2019) ABSTRACT Ostracods in Icelandic freshwaters have seldom been researched, with the most comprehen- sive record from the 1930s. There is a need to update our knowledge of the distribution of ostracods in Iceland as they are an important link in these ecosystems as well as good can- didates for biomonitoring. We analysed 25,005 ostracods from 44 lakes, 14 springs, and 10 cave pools. A total of 16 taxa were found, of which seven are new to Iceland. Candona candida (Müller, 1776) is the most widespread species, whereas Cytherissa lacustris (Sars, 1863) and Cypria ophtalmica (Jurine, 1820) are the most abundant, showing great numbers in lakes. Potamocypris fulva (Brady, 1868) is the dominant species in springs. While the fauna of lakes and springs are relatively distinct from each other, cave pools host species that are common in both lakes and springs.

Samples from parthenogenetic populations of C. lacustris showed a complete lack of electrophoretically detectable variability at four enzyme-encoding loci, two of which are highly variable in mainland populations. However, morphological variation in the carapace length and nodation was no less than in the mainland populations.
