A new Central European species of the Daphnia curvirostris complex, Daphnia hrbaceki sp. nov. (Cladocera, Anomopoda, Daphniidae)

Abstract: Although systematics of the cladoceran genus Daphnia (Cladocera: Daphniidae) has been intensively investigated for decades using both morphological and genetic approaches, new lineages are being discovered on all continents, including in well-studied regions. Among Holarctic daphnids, Daphnia curvirostris Eylmann, 1887 held an interesting position, sharing some morphological characters of both the D. pulex and D. longispina groups. Recently, additional species of the D. curvirostris complex have been discovere… Show more

“…Secondly, the expression of morphological defences may reduce predation losses as these morphological changes may interfere with the catching and/or feeding process of the predator or may prevent an attack. However, despite a sometimes high genetic variation of traits (e.g., [39][40][41]), freshwater zooplankton prey show a variety of inducible defences in different traits, between species and between clones. The reasons for this variance may be manifold.…”

“…In contrast, D. sinensis is widely distributed in China, ranging from low elevations in inland China to highaltitude mountain lakes in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. The species is present across much of the Old World (Popova et al 2016), being known from Ethiopia, Europe, Mongolia, and Russia (e.g., Gu et al 2013;Popova et al 2016;Xu et al 2018); suggesting a broad but noncosmopolitan distributions such as is often observed in cladocerans (e.g., Juracka et al 2010;Kotov and Taylor 2010).…”

“…Unfortunately, no identification based on ephippia of this group exists, moreover, the taxonomy of this group is confused 24 . A single exception to this rule is D.(D.) curvirostris Eylmann, 1887, also belonging to this group, but differing from other species in presence of small-sized spinules on its dorsal margin (but not so strong and dense as in other species of the Daphnia (Daphnia) group, such as D. pulex Leydig, 1860) 25,26 . Such ephippia are also found in our sample ( Fig.…”
