Rotifera fauna of Uzbekistan (Central Asia). Munis Entomology & Zoology, 16 (1): 388-393] ABSTRACT: Own and literary data on the composition of fauna of Rotifera of Uzbekistan have been summarized. In total, Uzbekistan has 157 species of rotifers, belonging to 42 genera 21 families 5 orders of subclass Monogononta and 2 species from understudied in Central Asia subclass Bdelloidea. KEY WORDS: Rotifers, taxonomy, fauna composition, history of study, Uzbekistan Rotifera is a phylum of scolecids playing a significant role in continental aquatic ecosystems. The rotifers are one of the most diverse and complex groups to study in communities of aquatic ecosystems. Their diversity and abundance depend on the type of waterbody, climatic conditions of the area, the whole range of environmental conditions and vary depending on a number of abiotic and biotic factors (Anufrieva, 2005). At present, there is no doubt on active participation of the rotifers in many biological processes, especially those related to the productivity of the waterbodies (Kutikova, 1970). The rotifers are one of the main links in the food chain of reservoirs and belong to the direct consumers of primary production (Erman, 1962). Most mass planktonic rotifers use small diatoms, protococcous, golden and cryptophytic algae. Larger algae are captured by detritovorous rotifers after they die off and are processed by bacteria. The rotifers itself serves as food for many invertebrates: protozoa, turbellaria, nematodes, cladocers, copepods, insect larvae. The rotifers are essential in the nutrition of young fish. Intensification of fish farming raises the question of obtaining natural feed for young fish on a production scale. Experience has shown that a number of species of rotifers can be cultivated in large quantities (Kokova, 1982; Hagiwara et al., 2017). This raises the question of finding species of rotifers whose biology would not only facilitate receiving high production at any time of the year, but which would be fully consistent with the food selectivity of consumers and would not have a negative impact on the larvae of farmed fish species (Kutikova, 1970). Habitats of the rotifers are extremely diverse: plankton, benthos, perithyton, neuston, interstitial, sphagnum. They live in both freshwater and brackish and salt waterbodies, at different levels of pollution. Undoubtedly, the role of rotifers in the natural self-cleaning of waterbodies is significant. Due to the voraciousness and mass of the rotifers populations, these phyto-, bacterio-, detrito- and polyphagous hydrobionts are effective indicators of contaminated water. Most rotifers have a method of nutrition (sedimentation) in which bacterial flora is absorbed, which provides a natural process of self- cleaning of the lake water. Some coastal predatory rotifers (Asplanchna, Munis Entomology & Zoology Mun. Ent. Zool. https://www.munisentzool.org/ (January, 2021) 389 ISSN 1306-3022 © MRG ___________________________________________________________ Asplanchnopus, etc.) devour the larval stages of parasitic worms, thus reducing the degree of invasion, and therefore parasitic diseases in fish and birds (Kutikova, Foliyan, 1996]. Some of the rotifers are very sensitive to a number of physical and chemical parameters of the environment and serve as indicator organisms of salinity, acidity and contamination. It is known that plankton rotifers can serve as one of the most sensitive and valuable indicators of water pollution (Gutkowska et al., 2013). There have been attempts to use rotifers for the purpose of biotesting of natural and sewage. Problems are caused by the species identification of the rotifers - most of the hydrobiological works of the region are based on the capital, but already largely outdated monograph of L.A. Kutikova (Kutikova, 1970). At the same time, a lot of work has been done in recent years on the taxonomy of the rotifers, especially at the species level (Segers, 1995; Nogrady & Segers, 2002; Jersabek & Leitner, 2018; etc.), that allowed to prepare and publish a modern guide of Uzbekistan's fauna of Rotifera, useful also for researchers of neighboring countries (Mirabdullayev & Saparov, 2020). The scientific study of hydrobionts in the region, including the rotifers began with the Russian study of the Aral Sea in the 19th century. The most significant stage in the study of the Aral Sea and its population was an expedition led by L. S. Berg in 1900-1902. Research on other waterbodies began in the 1920s. The first was probably S. D. Muraveisky, who explored the Syr Darya River and its floodplain lakes (Muraveisky, 1925). The zooplankton and, including the rotifers of the Syr Darya lakes and rice fields, were studied by N. A. Keiser (1937) and V. F. Gurvich (1939), who noted 43 species of Rotifera. Data on the rotifers of the region's waterbodies are provided by N. A. Akatova and other researchers. Since the 1950s, professor A. Mukhamediev began to conduct regular studies of zooplankton in Uzbekistan. Although his main scientific interest was Cladocera, but in the course of his research he inevitably turned to the rotifers. He summarized his more than 15 years of research in a monograph devoted to hydrobiology of various waterbodies in the Fergana Valley. The author gives a list of 34 species, mainly loricate rotifers (Mukhamediev, 1967). Later (from the 2nd half of the 1960s to the 2nd half of the 1980s) a significant material was collected on zooplankton by M. A. Mukhamediev and his numerous students such as H. G. Gulyamov, I. Ibragimov, D. M. Mirzaaliev, A. A. Negmatov, D. S. Niyazov, D. A. Aripov, O. U. Umarov, E. M. Muhitdinov, T. A. Tashpulatov and other. During these years, zooplankton (including naturally rotifers) of waterbodies of the republic were investigated by other hydrobiologists, such as A. K. Daribayev, N. V. Pridatkina, S. Kazakhbayev, L. I. Afanasieva, and other. Since the end of the 1980s, I. M. Mirabdullayev and his students and collaborators have been studying the rotifers. Not only are the rotifers more carefully defined and counted, but their variability is also being investigated. Thus, a new for the fauna of Uzbekistan and the former Soviet Union tropical species Keratella procurva has been recorded (Mirabdullayev & Zahidova, 1987) and a new form f K. procurva f. monospina, described a new for science Lophocharis turanica, L. kutikovae (Mirabdullaev, 1992). The study of the diversity of Uzbekistan's rotifers was given attention by also N. A. Rayimberdiyeva, K. A. Saparov, A. D. Saparov, and other. Munis Entomology & Zoology Mun. Ent.

To date, 402 species of rotifers have been recorded from Mexico, besides a few infraspecific taxa such as subspecies and varieties. The rotifers from Mexico represent 27 families and 75 genera. Molecular analysis showed about 20 cryptic taxa from species complexes. The genera Lecane, Trichocerca, Brachionus, Lepadella, Cephalodella, Keratella, Ptygura, and Notommata accounted for more than 50% of all species recorded from the Mexican territory. The diversity of rotifers from the different states of Mexico was highly heterogeneous. Only five federal entities (the State of Mexico, Michoacán, Veracruz, Mexico City, Aguascalientes, and Quintana Roo) had more than 100 species. Extrapolation of rotifer species recorded from Mexico indicated the possible occurrence of more than 600 species in Mexican water bodies, hence more sampling effort is needed. In the current review, we also comment on the importance of seasonal sampling in enhancing the species richness and detecting exotic rotifer taxa in Mexico.

    Opusc. Zool. Budapest, 2010, 41(1): 3–18 Unraveling some Kinki worms (Annelida: Oligochaeta: Megadrili: Moniligastridae) - Part I 1 2 R. J. BLAKEMORE and E. K. KUPRIYANOVA Abstract. A new species, Drawida eda Blakemore, is proposed for an earthworm from rice paddy near Lake Biwa in central Japan. It is compared with both Drawida barwelli (Beddard, 1886) – the cosmopolitan type of the genus – and with sympatric D. japonica (Michaelsen, 1892) for which a new synonym, D. propatula Gates, 1935, is added. Parasitic origin theory of diagnostic ‘genital markings’ in D. japonica is extended to other taxa and their conspecificity is mooted. Definitive resolution of the taxonomic complexities within Drawida via DNA analysis is pending, although the COI barcode for the type of D. eda is initially provided, the first time for a new earthworm species. Polygiceriate similarity of Oriental ‘exquisiticlitellate’ Drawida to megascolecid genera like Nexogaster Blakemore, 1997 (type Nexogaster sexies Blakemore, 1997) is briefly noted. Using this opportunity, replacement names are given for two preoccupied Tasmanian Lake Pedder taxa as a normal part of taxonomic ‘housekeeping’, viz. Anisogogaster for Anisogaster Blakemore, 2000 (non Deyrolle, 1862, nec Looss, 1901) and Perionchella variegogata for Perionchella variegata Blakemore, 2000 (non Michaelsen, 1907). INTRODUCTION viz. Drawida hattamimizu Hatai, 1930, which was dealt with by Blakemore et al.

The most conspicuous character of this animal is the complex set of jaws, which resembles an even more intricate version of the trophi of Rotifera and the jaws of Gnathostomulida. Whereas the jaws of Limnognathia maerski previously have been subject to close examinations, the related musculature and other organ systems are far less studied. Here we provide a detailed study of the body and jaw musculature of Limnognathia maerski, employing confocal laser scanning microscopy of phalloidin stained musculature as well as transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Results: This study reveals a complex body wall musculature, comprising six pairs of main longitudinal muscles and 13 pairs of trunk dorso-ventral muscles. Most longitudinal muscles span the length of the body and some fibers even branch off and continue anteriorly into the head and posteriorly into the abdomen, forming a complex musculature. The musculature of the jaw apparatus shows several pairs of striated muscles largely related to the fibularium and the main jaws. The jaw articulation and function of major and minor muscle pairs are discussed.

Usberti 33A, 43100 Parma, Italy 2 Belgian Biodiversity Platform, Freshwater Laboratory, Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Vautierstraat 29, 1000 Brussels, Belgium * Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] SUMMARY - Monogonont rotifers (Rotifera: Monogononta) from Northern Apennine lakes: new and rare taxa for Italy - Thirteen new or rare taxa of monogonont rotifers for the Italian fauna were found in zooplankton samples collected in permanent Northern Apennine lakes (some of which are part of the LTER Network) during a limnological survey carried out in the open water season of 2007 and 2008. The water bodies, located at altitudes ranging between 1241 and 1731 m a.s.l., are all of glacial or glacial-tectonic origin and generally ice-covered from November to May. Ten of the hereby reported taxa are new for Italy, among them a putative new species of the genus Pleurata, whilst the remaining 3 taxa were previously recorded only occasionally. Four genera (Bryceella, Eothinia, Erignatha and Pleurata) have not been reported from Italy before. For each taxon, data on distribution and ecology derived from the literature are also given. Our results show that even biotic communities that have been extensively monitored can still provide interesting novelties, thus emphasizing the importance of detailed taxonomic studies that also take into account the microscopic components of biodiversity.

  • (Rotifera, Eurotatoria) of Loktak Lake, Manipur, North-Eastern India
    Tropical Ecology 50(2): 277-285, 2009 ISSN 0564-3295 © International Society for Tropical Ecology www.tropecol.com Diversity of rotifers (Rotifera, Eurotatoria) of Loktak lake, Manipur, North-eastern India B.K. SHARMA Department of Zoology, North-Eastern Hill University, Permanent Campus, Umshing, Shillong 793022, Meghalaya, India Abstract: The rotifer communities of Loktak lake (a Ramsar site), Manipur, N.E. India, contain 120 species belonging to 36 genera and 19 families and represent the richest biodiversity of Phylum Rotifera known from any aquatic ecosystem of the Indian subcontinent. Biogeographically interesting elements include one Australasian, three Oriental and seven Palaeotropical species. Cosmopolitan species (69.2%) show higher richness while Cosmotropical > Pantropical species are well represented. The rotifer fauna is characterized by notable richness of Lecanidae > Lepadellidae > Trichocercidae > Brachionidae, general ‘tropical character’, occurrence of several acidophilic species, and a paucity of Brachionus spp. The richness (47-79; mean + SD 57±10 species) follows multimodal pattern of monthly variations with a peak during winter. The rotifer communities have 52.3-80.6% temporal similarity, and show lack of seasonal periodicity of occurrence of different families. The Rotifera form an important quantitative component of zooplankton (45.8 ± 8.1%), and have higher species diversity, lower dominance and higher evenness. Richness and density are inversely correlated with water, temperature, rainfall, hardness, nitrate, chloride and total dissolved solids and positively correlated with dissolved oxygen. In addition, richness is inversely correlated with pH. Resumen: Las comunidades de rotíferos del lago Loktak (un sitio Ramsar), Manipur, NE de la India, contienen 120 especies pertenecientes a 36 géneros y 19 familias, y representan la biodiversidad más rica del Phylum Rotifera conocida de cualquier ecosistema acuático del subcontinente indio.
