A new species of Centropages (Copepoda: Calanoida: Centropagidae) from the central Red Sea based on morphological and molecular evidence.
Centropages mohamedi sp. nov. (Copepoda: Calanoida) is described from specimens collected in zooplankton samples off Obhur Creek on the Saudi Arabian coast of the central Red Sea. The new species is most closely related to C. orsinii Giesbrecht, 1889, a species described from the Red Sea and widely distributed in the neritic waters of the Indo-West Pacific region. The new species is mainly dist...
متن کاملThe evolutionary diversification of the Centropagidae (Crustacea, Calanoida): A history of habitat shifts.
The copepod family Centropagidae is widely distributed and occurs in marine, estuarine, freshwater, and inland saline settings. Molecular phylogenies based upon the 16S and 28S genes demonstrate a complex biogeographic history, involving at least five independent invasions of continental waters from the sea. The first colonization was ancient, likely into part of Gondwanaland, and resulted in a...
متن کاملMorphological and Molecular Characteristics of Sarcocystis aucheniae Isolated from Meat of Guanaco (Lama guanicoe)
Background: Sarcocystosis in South American camelids (SAC) is an important parasitic disease which results in economical loss due to carcass condemnation. Meat products from camelids are significant source of animal protein in several American countries. Sarcocystis spp. producing macroscopical cysts in these animals have been nominated as S. aucheniae, S. tilopodi, and S. guanicoecanis. The ai...
متن کاملSystematics of Aspergillus species of subgenus Nidulantes in Iran
Aspergillus subgenus Nidulantes accommodates species of industrial and medical importance. Thirty isolates morphologically assigned to subgenus Nidulantes were studied, 25 isolated from cereals in the north and northwestern provinces and the rest from other substrates in Iran. Based on morphological and molecular data (sequences of the ITS rDNA and β-tubulin), nine species were identified belon...
متن کاملA new species of Acartia (Copepoda, Calanoida) from the Yellow Sea
A new species (Acartia hongi) of Acartia (family Acartiidae) predominating in the Korean coastal waters of the Yellow Sea is described. This species closely resembles Acartia bifilosa, from which it can be easily distinguished by the co-occurrence of the following morphological characters: the absence of rostral filaments in both genders; the terminal spine on the female fifth leg toothed only ...
