A total of 21 taxa of Cladocera was recorded. Of these, nine belong to the family Chydoridae, three are from the Macrothricidae, two each from the families Bosminidae, Daphniidae, Moinidae, and Sididae, and one species from the family Ilyocryptidae. The primary species of these three areas were Moinodaphnia macleayi, Diaphanosoma excisum,and Bosminopsis deitersi, and these were also the most frequently found taxa. The dominant species changed throughout a crop cycle: during the seedling stage, B. deitersi (27.91%); during the growing period, Macrothrix triserialis (30.05%); and in the harvesting period, D. excisum (35.40%). Nitrogen, nitrite, and phosphate were shown to play a major role in establishing the distribution of the cladoceran community over a crop cycle. RÉSUMÉ Une étude de la communauté des Cladocères dans trois rizières à Nakhon Si Thammarat a été menée de juin à septembre 2007. Au total, 21 taxons de Cladocères ont été identifié. Parmi ceux-ci, neuf appartiennent à la famille des Chydoridae, trois à la famille des Macrothricidae, deux à chacune des familles Bosminidae, Daphniidae, Moinidae et Sididae et une espèce à la famille des Ilyocryptidae. Les espèces typiques de ces trois régions sont Moinodaphnia macleayi, Diaphanosoma excisum et Bosminopsis deitersi, et ce sont aussi les taxons les plus fréquemment trouvés. Les espèces dominantes changeaient au cours d’un cycle de récolte : au cours du repiquage, l’espèce dominante était B. deitersi (27,91%); pendant la phase de croissance, Macrothrix triserialis (30,05%) ; et dans la période de récolte D. excisum (35,40%). L’azote, les nitrites et les phosphates sont démontrés comme jouant un rôle majeur en déterminant la répartition de la communauté des Cladocères au cours du cycle de culture. 3) Corresponding author; e-mail: [email protected] © Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, 2010 Crustaceana 83 (12): 1469-1482 Also available online: www.brill.nl/cr DOI:10.1163/001121610X539489 1470 S. MAIPHAE ET AL. INTRODUCTION Rice is one of Thailand’s most important agricultural crops. Its habitat is usually a temporary aquatic environment that is subjected to large variations in insolation, temperature, pH, O2 concentration, and nutrient status (Roger, 1996). Therefore, a specialized rice field fauna and community structure might be expected to result. However, previous studies of the fauna that inhabit rice field ecosystems were mainly concerned with agronomic aspects and only a few have paid attention to biodiversity at species level. In Thailand, most research that reported on species richness is the result of surveys of samples from various types of habitats (Heckman, 1979; Pholpunthin, 1997; Sanoamuang, 1998; Kotov & Dumont, 2000; Pipatcharoenchai, 2001; Saeng-aroon, 2001; Sa-ardrit, 2002; Kotov & Sanoamuang, 2004a, b; Kotov et al., 2005a, b; Maiphae, 2005; Maiphae et al., 2005, 2008; Sa-ardrit & Beamish, 2005; Sanoamuang & Faitakum 2005; Sinev et al., 2007). There have been only a few reported studies on zooplankton diversity and composition (Chittapun et al., 2009; Maiphae & Janpriang, 2009). The present study aimed to study the changes of the species diversity of Cladocera and to determine their abundance in representative rice fields in the province of Nakhon Si Thammarat, southern Thailand, during a full crop cycle. MATERIAL AND METHODS Study sites The study was carried out at three rice fields in the Chienyai district, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province. These have all been established as paddy rice fields for about 15 years. The water comes from a natural canal nearby, and from rain. Sampling periods Sampling was carried out six times during June-September 2007, covering all four stages of a crop cycle: first soil preparation, and next the seedling, growth, and harvesting stages. Plankton sampling Fifty-four samples were collected from three rice fields, on 9 and 23 June, 12 and 25 August, and 8 and 22 September 2007. Species richness was based on samples qualitatively collected with a tow net, 30 cm in diameter and fitted with a 60 μm mesh net. Tows were made obliquely with an approximate linear distance of 5 m in open water, and also dragged through the stem brushes, in order to catch.

  • Cladocera: Anomopoda: Daphniidae) from the Lower Cretaceous of Australia
    Palaeontologia Electronica palaeo-electronica.org Ephippia belonging to Ceriodaphnia Dana, 1853 (Cladocera: Anomopoda: Daphniidae) from the Lower Cretaceous of Australia Thomas A. Hegna and Alexey A. Kotov ABSTRACT The first fossil ephippia (cladoceran exuvia containing resting eggs) belonging to the extant genus Ceriodaphnia (Anomopoda: Daphniidae) are reported from the Lower Cretaceous (Aptian) freshwater Koonwarra Fossil Bed (Strzelecki Group), South Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. They represent only the second record of (pre-Quater- nary) fossil cladoceran ephippia from Australia (Ceriodaphnia and Simocephalus, both being from Koonwarra). The occurrence of both of these genera is roughly coincident with the first occurrence of these genera elsewhere (i.e., Mongolia). This suggests that the early radiation of daphniid anomopods predates the breakup of Pangaea. In addi- tion, some putative cladoceran body fossils from the same locality are reviewed; though they are consistent with the size and shape of cladocerans, they possess no cladoceran-specific synapomorphies. They are thus regarded as indeterminate diplostracans. Thomas A. Hegna. Department of Geology, Western Illinois University, Macomb, IL 61455, USA. ta- [email protected] Alexey A. Kotov. A.N.

The rarity of Water fleas (Crustacea: Cladocera) are small, the cladoceran fossils is probably an artifact, a soft-bodied branchiopod crustaceans and are a result of insufficient efforts to find them in known diverse and ubiquitous component of inland and new palaeontological collections (Kotov, aquatic communities (Dumont and Negrea, 2002).

Most sites were surveyed in both winter and summer, although some contained water only one occasion. Altogether 57 waterbird species were recorded, with 29 292 waterbirds of 25 species on Lake MacLeod in October 1994. River pools were shown to be relatively important for waterbirds, while many freshwater claypans were little used. At least 492 species of aquatic invertebrate were collected. The invertebrate fauna was characterized by the low frequency with which taxa occurred: a third of the species were collected at a single site on only one occasion.

    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.

Ballast water discharged from transoceanic ships is commonly believed to be the dominant pathway for species introduction and is therefore increasingly subject to domestic and international regulation. However, compared to species introductions from ballast, translocation by biofouling of ships’ exposed surfaces has been poorly quantified. We report translocation of species by a transoceanic bulk carrier intercepted in the North American Great Lakes in fall 2001. We collected 944 individuals of at least 74 distinct freshwater and marine taxa. Eight of 29 taxa identified to species have never been observed in the Great Lakes. Employing five different statistical techniques, we estimated that the biofouling community of this ship comprised from 100 to 200 species. These findings adjust upward by an order of magnitude the number of species collected from a single ship.

Breve definición del grupo y principales caracteres diagnósticos El orden Ctenopoda es un pequeño grupo de crustáceos branquiópodos con más de 50 especies a nivel mundial presentes especialmente en aguas continentales, excepto dos géneros (Penilia Dana, 1852 y Pseudopenilia Sergeeva, 2004) que habitan en aguas marinas. Se caracterizan por su pequeño tamaño, por una tagmosis poco aparente, diferenciando una región cefálica y una región postcefálica (ésta recu- bierta por un caparazón bivalvo), por sus toracópodos (o apéndices torácicos) homónomos (o sea, sin una diferenciación marcada entre ellos), y por no presentar efipio para proteger los huevos gametogenéticos (al contrario que los Anomopoda; véase Sala et al., 2015). Al igual que los Anomopoda, los primeros restos fósiles inequívocos de Ctenopoda pertenecen al Mesozoico (Kotov & Korovchinsky, 2006). 1.1. Morfología En general, el cuerpo de los Ctenopoda es corto, con una forma más o menos elipsoidal o ovalada, y comprimido lateralmente. La cabeza suele ser grande, no está recubierta por un escudo o yelmo cefálico (en contraposición con los Anomopoda), y concede protección a los órganos internos, principalmente el ojo compuesto, el ojo naupliar (no presente en todas las especies), y parte del sistema nervioso.
