Distribution and Attachment Characteristics of Sida Crystallina (O.F
Choi et al. Journal of Ecology and Environment (2016) 40:7 Journal of Ecology DOI 10.1186/s41610-016-0006-z and Environment RESEARCH Open Access Distribution and attachment characteristics of Sida crystallina (O.F. Müller, 1776) in lentic freshwater ecosystems of South Korea Jong-Yun Choi1*, Kwang-Seuk Jeong2,3, Seong-Ki Kim4, Se-Hwan Son1 and Gea-Jae Joo2 Abstract Background: Macrophytes are commonly utilised as habitat by epiphytic species; thus, complex macrophyte structures can support high diversities and abundances of epiphytic species. We tested the hypothesis that the presence of aquatic macrophytes is an important factor determining Sida crystallina (O.F. Müller, 1776) distribution. Results: An ecological survey was conducted in 147 lentic freshwater bodies. S. crystallina was frequently observed, and its density was strongly associated with macrophyte abundance. S. crystallina was found on emergent plant species such as Phragmites australis and Paspalum distichum, attached to the stem surfaces by adhesive substances secreted by the nuchal organ. Thus, S. crystallina was more strongly attached to macrophytes than to other epiphytic cladoceran species. We found higher densities of S. crystallina in filtered water with increased macrophyte shaking effort (i.e. 10, 20, 40, or 80 times). S. crystallina attachment was not related to fish predation. Stable isotope analysis showed that S. crystallina utilises epiphytic organic matter (EOM) on macrophytes as a food source. Conclusions: Consequently, S. crystallina seems to have a strong association with species-specific macrophyte biomass than with other cladoceran species, which may contribute to this species’ predominance in various freshwater ecosystems where macrophytes are abundant. -

Phytophilous cladocerans (Crustacea, Anomopoda and Ctenopoda) from Paranã River Valley, Goiás, Brazil Lourdes M. A. Elmoor-Loureiro Laboratório de Zoologia, Universidade Católica de Brasília. QS 7 lote 1, Bloco M, sala 331, 71966-700 Taguatinga, Distrito Federal, Brasil. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. A rapid assessment survey identified 39 phytophilous cladocerans species from littoral zones of rivers, permanent and temporary lagoons, and swamps of the Paranã River Valley, Goiás, Brazil, 22 are registered for the first time in Central Brazil. Aspects of the taxonomy of some of these species are discussed. Cluster analysis (UPGMA) revealed two phytophilous cladoceran assemblages, characterized by higher or lower richness and relative abundance of species of the families Daphniidae and Moinidae (filter feeders), in comparison with the dominant families Chydoridae and Macrothricidae (scraper feeders).

Diaphanosoma hamatum sp. nov. is described from material from claypans of a restricted area near Onslow in the north-west of Western Australia. It is characterized by some peculiar features, such as presence of well developed rostrum, small reduced eye, and large hooked spine on the apical end of upper two- segmented antennal branch, which distinguish it from other known species of the genus. The new species is probably closely related to the Australian D. unguiculatum and may be considered as the additional member of the Australian endemic fauna. The ecological signifi cance of morphological features of the species is discussed. Manuscript received 29 March 2010, accepted for publication 19 July 2011.

Unraveling the Origin of Cladocera by Identifying Heterochrony in the Developmental Sequences of Branchiopoda Fritsch Et Al

Frontiers in Zoology 2013, 10:35 http://www.frontiersinzoology.com/content/10/1/35 Fritsch et al. Frontiers in Zoology 2013, 10:35 http://www.frontiersinzoology.com/content/10/1/35 RESEARCH Open Access Unraveling the origin of Cladocera by identifying heterochrony in the developmental sequences of Branchiopoda Martin Fritsch1*, Olaf RP Bininda-Emonds2 and Stefan Richter1 Abstract Introduction: One of the most interesting riddles within crustaceans is the origin of Cladocera (water fleas). Cladocerans are morphologically diverse and in terms of size and body segmentation differ considerably from other branchiopod taxa (Anostraca, Notostraca, Laevicaudata, Spinicaudata and Cyclestherida). In 1876, the famous zoologist Carl Claus proposed with regard to their origin that cladocerans might have evolved from a precociously maturing larva of a clam shrimp-like ancestor which was able to reproduce at this early stage of development. In order to shed light on this shift in organogenesis and to identify (potential) changes in the chronology of development (heterochrony), we investigated the external and internal development of the ctenopod Penilia avirostris and compared it to development in representatives of Anostraca, Notostraca, Laevicaudata, Spinicaudata and Cyclestherida. The development of the nervous system was investigated using immunohistochemical labeling and confocal microscopy. External morphological development was followed using a scanning electron microscope and confocal microscopy to detect the autofluorescence of the external cuticle. Results: In Anostraca, Notostraca, Laevicaudata and Spinicaudata development is indirect and a free-swimming nauplius hatches from resting eggs. In contrast, development in Cyclestherida and Cladocera, in which non-swimming embryo-like larvae hatch from subitaneous eggs (without a resting phase) is defined herein as pseudo-direct and differs considerably from that of the other groups. -
Biotic and Abiotic Preferences of the Cladoceran Invader Limnosida Frontosa

Box 1027, Blindern, N-0316 Oslo, Norway 2Norwegian Institute for Water Research. P.O. Box 173, Kjelsås, N-0411 Oslo, Norway Key words: Limnosida frontosa, abiotic parameters, food spectrum, particle selection Abstract During the late 1980s and early 1990s, the cladoceran Limnosida frontosa invaded several lakes within its natural range in southeastern Norway. In this project, we wanted to study the types of lakes preferred by Limnosida.We also wanted to evaluate the potential competitive effects on other zooplankton species. In a survey of 65 Norwegian lakes, Limnosida showed preference for lakes of low Ca concentrations and low productivity. This is probably due to decreased competition from species with higher Ca requirements and a lower fish predation on zooplankton in these lakes compared to more productive lakes. Particle size preferences of Limnosida were studied and compared with those of the microfiltrator Daphnia magna, as there was no published information on the food preference of Limnosida. When fed monodisperse fluorescent latex beads (0.5, 1.0, 6.0 µm), Limnosida strongly selected the largest beads, while D. magna had a more nonselective feeding behaviour. Mesh sizes of Limnosida’s filtering appendages were 0.4–1.2 µm depending on the animal size, and the particle selection was correlated with the filter mesh sizes. -
