Collecting and Preserving Marine and Freshwater Isopoda (Crustacea: Peracarida)
نویسنده
چکیده
BACKGROUND 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. NEW INFORMATION This is a short "how to" guide focusing on the free-living marine and freshwater isopods: where they live and how to collect and preserve them. The tools and techniques described here are simple, but invaluable in accessing the natural history of these remarkable creatures.

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite markers from the marine isopods Serolis paradoxa and Septemserolis septemcarinata (Crustacea: Peracarida).
This study reports the successful isolation of highly informative microsatellite marker sets for two marine serolid isopod species. For Serolis paradoxa (Fabricius, 1775), 13, and for Septemserolis septemcarinata (Miers, 1875), eight polymorphic microsatellite markers were isolated using the reporter genome enrichment protocol. The number of alleles per locus (N(A) ) and the observed heterozygo...

متن کاملTaxonomic Review of the Orders Mysida and Stygiomysida (Crustacea, Peracarida)
The order Mysida (2 families, 178 genera, 1132 species) contains species across a broad range of habitats, such as subterranean, fresh, brackish, coastal, and surface to deep-sea habitats. The Stygiomysida (2 families, 2 genera, 16 species), however, are found primarily in subterranean waters, but always in waters with a marine influence. The Mysida and Stygiomysida body is divided into three m...

-Records of shallow-water marine isopods from Colombia, Tobago, and Dominica are listed. These are derived from recent collections as well as from published records. Several new species are described: Joeropsis tobagoensis, Munna caprinsula, Anopsilana sinu, Paraimene charlesae (the second known species in the genus), Pseudocerceis latistylis (the first record of the genus in the Atlantic), Sph...
متن کاملDiversity of Tanaidacea (Crustacea: Peracarida) in the World's Oceans – How Far Have We Come?
Tanaidaceans are small peracarid crustaceans which occur in all marine habitats, over the full range of depths, and rarely into fresh waters. Yet they have no obligate dispersive phase in their life-cycle. Populations are thus inevitably isolated, and allopatric speciation and high regional diversity are inevitable; cosmopolitan distributions are considered to be unlikely or non-existent. Optio...
