Collecting and Preserving Marine and Freshwater Isopoda (Crustacea: Peracarida) [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2015
Isopoda are the most diverse Crustacea. In order to encourage the study of isopod crustaceans and their use in biodiversity studies, systematics, ecology, physiology and more, one needs to know who the isopods are and where to find them. This is a short “how to” guide focusing on the free-living marine and freshwater isopods: where they live ...

Assessing the Complex Effects of the Invasive Amphipod Dikerogammarus villosus on Leaf Litter Breakdown in Rivers

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Allochthonous organic matter is an essential resource of aquatic food webs, and freshwater amphipods, particularly species of the genus Gammarus, play a significant role in leaf litter decomposition. However, this important ecological function may be affected by the invasion of alien amphipods such as Dikerogammarus villosus, which has been ...

A New Species of Cyphocaris Boeck, 1871 (Amphipoda: Lysianassoidea: Cyphocarididae): Found off the Rocas Atoll, Northeastern Brazil

Taxonomy, 2021
A new species of the genus Cyphocaris Boeck, 1871, is described. The material examined was collected during the “Acoustics along the Brazilian Coast” (Abraços 1) project, by micronektonic trawls at a targeted depth of 525 m, off the Rocas Atoll, Rio ...

Marked Variability in Distance‐Decay Patterns Suggests Contrasting Dispersal Ability in Abyssal Taxa

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim We assess the role of spatial distance and depth difference in shaping beta diversity patterns across abyssal seascape regions. We measured the decrease of faunistic similarity across the northeast Pacific seafloor, to test whether species turnover rates differ between deep and shallow‐abyssal biogeographical provinces and whether these ...

Faunal Composition of the Sumisu Caldera Hydrothermal Vent Field as a Key Baseline for Conservation in Light of Deep‐Sea Mining

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 34, Issue 11, November 2024.
ABSTRACT Hydrothermal vents are biodiversity hotspots on the deep seafloor powered by chemosynthetic primary production, inhabited by a specially adapted fauna whose composition varies between regions. Sumisu Caldera, located approximately 500 km south of Tokyo, hosts a hot vent with an unusual species composition among the Izu–Ogasawara Arc sites and ...

A checklist of isopods (Crustacea: Isopoda) in Slovenia

Natura Sloveniae, 2023
Isopods are a diverse peracarid crustacean group with marine, freshwater and terrestrial representatives. Isopod species lists were typically prepared according to different habitats, which was true also for Slovenia. Here, we prepared the first unified

A beautifully preserved comma shrimp (Pancrustacea: Peracarida) from the Plio‐Pleistocene of Japan and the fossil record of crown Cumacea

Invertebrate Biology, Volume 143, Issue 3, September 2024.
Abstract Comma shrimp, or cumaceans, are diverse benthic crustaceans, yet they are one of the groups with the poorest fossil record, hindering our understanding of the evolution of the group in deep time. Here, we describe a new species of fossil comma shrimp, Makrokylindrus itoi sp. nov., from the Plio‐Pleistocene of Japan.
