Biodiversity of microcrustaceans (Cladocera, Copepoda) in a lowland river ecosystem

Trends in freshwater microcrustaceans studies in Brazil between 1990 and 2014.

This study presents a review of scientiometric data about freshwater microcrustaceans (Copepoda, Ostracoda, Branchiopoda: Cladocera, Anostraca, Notostraca and Conchostraca) in Brazil from 1990-2014. This review is based on 179 papers published across four databases, using the following keywords in the search: microcrustaceans, Copepoda, Cyclopoida, Calanoida, Harpacticoida, Ergasilidae, Daphnii...

The first data on the freshwater microcrustaceans of Shokalsky Island (Russian Arctic)

BACKGROUND Information on freshwater invertebrates of the Russian Arctic is very scarce, especially concerning insular biota. The species composition of microcrustaceans (Cladocera, Copepoda) of many arctic islands is still unknown and have never been explored. Here we report the results of the first investigation of the zooplankton of the Shokalsky Island (Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Russi...

ecosystem diversity of cladocera (crustacea: branchiopoda) of the floodplain lakes of majuli river island, the brahmaputra river basin, northeast india

plankton and semi-plankton samples collected from twelve floodplain lakes (beels) of majuli river island of the brahmaputra river basin, upper assam reveal rich cladocera assemblage of 48 species belonging to 32 genera and 7 families. this report assumes biodiversity value as ~65.0% and ~37.0% of the species, and ~78.0% and ~72.0 of genera of the taxon known from assam state of northeast india ...

Subsurface flow in lowland river gravel bars

Geomorphic and hydraulic processes, which form gravel bars in large lowland rivers, have distinctive characteristics that control the magnitude and spatial patterns of infiltration and exfiltration between rivers and their immediate subsurface environments. We present a bedform-infiltration relation together with a set of field measurements along two reaches of the San Joaquin River, CA to illu...
