Description and meristic analysis of eleven species of Microcyclops recorded in America were performed based on the examination of type specimens and fresh material. Microscopic analysis of oral appendages, such as the shape and armature of the distal coxal endite of the maxilla, the ornamentation on the caudal surface of the antenna, and the intercoxal sclerites and armament of the inner basis...

Corbicula has often been reported as one of the most invasive freshwater species in world. It plays an important role food chains brackish water zones Korea, where it is predominant. However, detailed information on diet still lacking. The purpose this study was to identify potential prey fluminea Seomjin River using a DNA metabarcoding approach, very little known about its feeding selectivity ...

The study aimed to assess the relationship between surface water quality and diversity of planktonic communities in An Giang province, Vietnam. national technical regulations on quality, index (WQI), Shannon-Wiener (H') were applied evaluate quality. considerable influence parameters dominant plankton was determined by canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) similarity percentage (SIMPER). resu...

Cyclopid copepods from samples of fauna associated with aquatic macrophytes and plancton obtained in lotic and lentic environments were obtained from the upper Paraná River floodplain (in the states of Paraná and Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil). Macrophytes were collected in homogeneous stands and washed. Plankton samples, taken from the water column surface and bottom, were obtained using a motor ...

Longitudinal changes in composition, abundance, and distribution of copepods were studied at the transition zone of Paranapanema River-Jurumirim Reservoir (SP, Brazil). The interchange of biotic material between marginal lakes and the river system was also examined. Water samples were obtained from 6 stations along a stretch of 13 km of the Paranapanema River, from an upstream reach with high w...
