A new species of Peltidium Philippi, 1839 (Crustacea, Copepoda, Harpacticoida) from the Pacific coast of Mexico
During the analysis of phytal meiobenthic samples collected from a rocky-sandy beach in the state of Nayarit, in the Mexican Pacific, several specimens of harpacticoid copepods were obtained and taxonomically examined. These specimens were found to represent an undescribed species of the peltidiid genus Peltidium Philippi, 1839. The new species, Peltidium nayarit sp. n. is described herein. It ...
متن کاملEffects of copepod foraging behavior on predation risk: An experimental study of the predatory copepod Pareuchaeta nowegica feeding on Acartia clausi and A. tonsa (Copepoda)
The effect of foraging behavior on predation risk was studied by exposing the two small Calanoid copepods Acartia clausi and Acartia tonsa to 0 or 1 ppm (1,500 cells ml-l) of the diatom Thalassiosira weissfogii and to presence of the predator Pureuchaeta norvegica. In filtered water, predation rate was the same on the two species. In algal suspension, predation rate on A. clausi was half that i...
متن کاملEffects of food on bacterial community composition associated with the copepod Acartia tonsa Dana.
The estuarine copepod Acartia tonsa naturally carried diverse strains of bacteria on its body. The bacterial community composition (BCC) remained very conservative even when the copepod was fed different axenic algal species, indicating that the food per se did not much affect BCC associated with the copepod. In xenic algal treatments, however, copepod-associated BCC differed with each alga fed...

متن کاملDiversity of the Monstrilloida (Crustacea: Copepoda)
Monstrilloid copepods are protelean parasites of different groups of marine benthic invertebrates. Only their first naupliar, preadult, and adult phases are planktonic. Monstrilloids are currently represented by more than 115 nominal species contained in four genera. Its taxonomic knowledge has been hampered by nomenclatural and descriptive problems derived from their peculiar ontogeny and poor...
