Accepted 23 / 6 /2013 ) ABSTRACT The samples of Crustaceans (Malacostraca) were collected in the fresh water, from different regions of Al-Assi valley (the river, Katenah lake, the reservoirs such as Al- Zaafaranh, Al-Sindianh and from Al-teen spring), between August 2010 and August 2011. The samples were preserved in alcohol (70 %). After accurate inspection of the collected samples, there were 4 species classified, two species of freshwater belonging to true crabs were recognized by depending on the masculine organs as following: Potamon potamois and Potamon setiger from the Potamidae family, one species of shrimps Atyaephyrra dessmarestii-orintalis from Atyidae family, and only one species of amphipods which was Grammars lacustris of Gammaridae family. All examined species were described morphologically, explaining the most important classified features that distinguish these species presented with clarifying paintings and with the pictures for these features.

  • RELATIVE GROWTH ANDPOPULATION STRUCTURE OFTHE FRESHWATER CRAB, POTAMON POTAMIOS Palestinensls, in the DEAD SEA AREA
    ISRAELJOURNALOF ZOOLOGY. Vol. 36.1989. pp. 133-145 RELATIVE GROWTH AND POPULATION STRUCTURE OF THE FRESHWATER CRAB, POTAMON POTAMIOS PALESTINENSlS, iJ;< IN THE DEAD SEA AREA (ISRAEL) F'RANCESCA GHERARDI AND FIORENZA MICHEU Department of Animal Biology and Genetics, University of Florence, V.Romana 17, 50125 Florence, Italy ABSlRACf Morphological and ecological studies have been carried out on three populations of the crabPotamonpotamiospalestinensis inhabiting freshwater springs in the Dead Sea area of Israel. To a certain extent, relative growth-patterns followed those already described for other Brachyura. In the males, the chelipeds showed a positive allometry with respect to carapace length. which was probably related to their function in intra- and/or inter- sexual competition. Righthandedness has been associated with the distribution of scars and mutilations over the body. The wider abdomen is a female sexual character, the allometric growth of which decreases after the puberty moult. Males were on the average bigger than females; it is advantageous for them to grow faster to the size at which they are more likely to copulate successfully. On the contrary, the optimal size of females seems to be conditioned by energetic expenditure for reproduction. INTRODUCI10N Potamonpotamios (Olivier, 1804) is a freshwater crab occurring in Anatolia, in several southern islands of the Aegean Sea, in Syria, northern Iran, Lebanon and Israel (Pretzmann, 1961, 1983a,b, 1984; Bon, 1967). In Israel, the subspecies P. potamios palestinensis (Bott, 1967) is widely represented in aquatic habitats throughout most of the country, including the arid Negev, and its distribution extends as far as the north- ernmost comer of Sinai (Flower, 1931).

In total, 23 taxon were found: 11 Amphipoda, 6 Decapoda, 4 Isopoda, and 2 Mysidacea. Limnomysis benedeni is the first time in Turkish Mysidacea fauna. In this work at the first time recorded group are Gammarus pulex pulex, Gammarus aequicauda, Gammarus uludagi, Gammarus komareki, Gammarus longipedis, Gammarus balcanicus, Echinogammarus ischnus, Orchestia stephenseni Paramysis kosswigi, Idotea baltica basteri, Idotea hectica, Sphaeroma serratum, Palaemon adspersus, Crangon crangon, Potamon ibericum tauricum and Carcinus aestuarii in the studied area. Potamon ibericum tauricum is the most encountered and widespread species. Key words: Freshwater, brackish water, Malacostraca, Sinop, Samsun, Turkey Introduction The Malacostraca is the largest subgroup of crustaceans and includes the decapods such as crabs, mole crabs, lobsters, true shrimps and the stomatopods or mantis shrimps. There are more than 22,000 taxa in this group representing two third of all crustacean species and contains all the larger forms. *Corresponding author: [email protected] 47 Malacostracans play an important role in aquatic ecosystems and therefore their conservation is important.

  • Molecular Data Suggest Multiple Origins and Diversification Times Of
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Molecular data suggest multiple origins and diversifcation times of freshwater gammarids on the Aegean archipelago Kamil Hupało1,3*, Ioannis Karaouzas2, Tomasz Mamos1,4 & Michał Grabowski1 Our main aim was to investigate the diversity, origin and biogeographical afliations of freshwater gammarids inhabiting the Aegean Islands by analysing their mtDNA and nDNA polymorphism, thereby providing the frst insight into the phylogeography of the Aegean freshwater gammarid fauna. The study material was collected from Samothraki, Lesbos, Skyros, Evia, Andros, Tinos and Serifos islands as well as from mainland Greece. The DNA extracted was used for amplifcation of two mitochondrial (COI and 16S) and two nuclear markers (28S and EF1-alpha). The multimarker time- calibrated phylogeny supports multiple origins and diferent diversifcation times for the studied taxa. Three of the sampled insular populations most probably represent new, distinct species as supported by all the delimitation methods used in our study. Our results show that the evolution of freshwater taxa is associated with the geological history of the Aegean Basin. The biogeographic afliations of the studied insular taxa indicate its continental origin, as well as the importance of the land fragmentation and the historical land connections of the islands. Based on the fndings, we highlight the importance of studying insular freshwater biota to better understand diversifcation mechanisms in fresh waters as well as the origin of studied Aegean freshwater taxa. Te Mediterranean islands are considered natural laboratories of evolution, exhibiting high levels of diversity and endemism, making them a vital part of one of the globally most precious biodiversity hotspots and a model system for studies of biogeography and evolution1–4.

Aquatic subterranean species often exhibit disjunct distributions, with high level of endemism and small range, shaped by vicariance, limited dispersal, and evolutionary rates. We studied the disjunct biogeographic patterns of an endangered blind cave shrimp, Typhlocaris, and identified the geological and evolutionary processes that have shaped its divergence pattern. Methods. We collected Typlocaris specimens of three species (T. galilea, T. ayyaloni, and T. salentina), originating from subterranean groundwater caves by the Mediterranean Sea, and used three mitochondrial genes (12S, 16S, COI) and four nuclear genes (18S, 28S, ITS, H3) to infer their phylogenetic relationships.

  • Crustacea: Brachyura: Potamidae) from Socotra Island and Description of Socotrapotamon N
    FAUNA OF ARABIA 18: 133-144 Date of publication: 30.11.2000 A new species of freshwater crab (Crustacea: Brachyura: Potamidae) from Socotra Island and description of Socotrapotamon n. gen. Michael Apel and Dirk Brandis Abstract: Socotra Island has been separated from the mainland of the Arabian Peninsula since the late Tertiary and hosts a highly endemic flora and fauna. To date, only a single species of freshwater crab, usually referred to as Potamon socotrensis (Hilgendorf, 1883), has been recorded from the island. Here, the taxonomic position of this species is reconsidered, a lectotype is designated and a new genus, Socotrapotamon, proposed for it. From material collected on Socotra Island in spring 1999, a second species of freshwater crab, Socotrapotamon nojidensis n. sp., is described. It differs from S. socotrensis mainly in the shape of the first gonopod's terminal joint, the distinctly elongated and strongly curved terminal tube of the second gonopod and the conspicuously longer and more slender walking legs. The sys­ tematic position of the new genus is discussed, primarily on the basis of the morphology of the male copulatory system. Socotra­ potamon clearly belongs to the family Potamidae and appears to be most closely related to the Asian genus Potamiscus Alcock, 1909. It is very distinct from the African freshwater crabs of the family Potamonautidae. Zoogeographically Socotrapotamon ap­ pears to be a relic of a group of Potamidae related to Potamiscus, which most likely inhabited south-western Arabia, Iran and northern Pakistan during the Miocene and invaded Socotra during this period.

(2018). Distribution and Diversity of Freshwater Crabs (Decapoda: Brachyura: Potamidae, Gec- arcinucidae) in Iranian Inland Waters. Aquatic Sciences and Engineering, 33(4): 110-116. ABSTRACT This article reviews the current knowledge of primary freshwater crabs (Decapoda, Brachyura) in Iranian inland waters, with the purpose of classifying the exact number of species, the threat sta- tus, and their distribution and diversity. Previous studies have reported that Iranian inland waters have eight freshwater crab species and there was no accurate information on the distribution of freshwater crab species in Iran. This review article describes that an additional six freshwater crab species, Potamon gedrosianum, P. magnum, P. mesopotamicum, P. ilam, Sodhiana blanfordi, and S. iranica, are also present in Iran. Therefore, there are 14 freshwater crab species currently known in Iran, which belong to two families (Gecarcinucidae and Potamidae). The genus Potamon is rep- resented by 11 species, and the genus Sodhiana is represented by 3 species (found in south and south east of Iran). In addition, this review presents a distribution map and the possible threats for each species. Keywords: Brachyura, decapoda, freshwater crabs, distribution, Iran INTRODUCTION ter swamps, stagnant ponds and rice fields, and even in tree hollows and leaf axils (Yeo et al., Primary freshwater crabs (Yeo et al., 2008, 2012) 2008; Cumberlidge et al., 2009).

  • An Unusual New Record of Typhlocaris Salentina (Caroli, 1923) (Decapoda: Typhlocarididae) from Subterranean Water of Apulia (Southern Italy)
    Atti Soc. it. Sci. nat. Museo civ. Stor. nat. Milano, 142/2001 (I): 103-108, Novembre 2001 Carlo Froglia* & Nicola Ungaro An unusual new record of Typhlocaris salentina (Caroli, 1923) (Decapoda: Typhlocarididae) from subterranean water of Apulia (Southern Italy) Abstract - In December 1995, three large females of Typhlocaris salentina were collected in an artificial well located in the basement of a building in downtown Bari, when the well was dried out for maintenance works. The present finding extends the known range of T. salentina northwards and definitively proves the prawn is not restricted to the Salento subterranean water system, but is also present in the lower Murge karst system. Key words: Typhlocaris salentina, Decapoda, Typhlocarididae, troglobious fauna, Italy. Riassunto. - Nuova ed insolita segnalazione di Typhlocaris salentina (Caroli, 1923) (Decapoda: Typhlocarididae) nelle acque sotterranee della Puglia (Italia meridionale). Si segnala la cattura di tre esemplari adulti di Typhlocaris salentina in un pozzo ubicato nello scantinato di un edificio nella citta di Bari. Si conferma quindi la presenza di questa specie troglobia, endemica della Puglia, anche nel sistema carsico delle Murgie, oltre che nel sistema carsico del Salento. Sulla superficie della cuticola di tutti e tre gli esemplari sono state osservate loriche di Foliculinidi, una famiglia di Ciliati mai segnalata in precedenza in Decapodi troglobi. Parole chiave: Typhlocaris salentina, Decapoda, Typhlocarididae, fauna troglobia, Italia. Introduction The palaemonoid genus Typhlocaris Caiman, 1909 includes 3 troglobitic ' freshwater species restricted to the Mediterranean area (Holthuis, 1986). Two species are known from their type localities only: T. galilea Caiman, 1909 from a pool fed by a mineral spring at Tabgha, Northern shore of the Lake i Tiberias (Israel) and T.
