Faunistical Overview of Calanoid Copepods (Crustacea) from Continental Waters of Ukraine

Abstract

Faunistical Overview of Calanoid Copepods (Crustacea) from Continental Waters of Ukraine Faunistic overview together with updated checklist, comprising 38 species and 2 subspecies of calanoid copepods inhabiting fresh and brackish Ukrainian waters classified in three families and twelve genera is provided. The only freshwater calanoid species endemic to Ukraine is Speodiaptomus birsteini Borutzky, 1962, a stygobiont found once in an underground lake in the Skels'ka Cave (Crimean Peninsula). Two species, Hemidiaptomus (Hemidiaptomus) rylovi Charin, 1928 and S. birsteini are included as a threatened species in the Red Book of Ukraine. Dubious records and distribution patterns of some calanoid taxa are discussed. The calanoid fauna of Ukraine is compared with those of adjacent countries.

Checklist and Distribution of Calanoida (Crustacea: Copepoda) in Kazakhstan (Central Asia)

“…The largest number of common species was found between the Calanoida fauna of Kazakhstan and Ukraine (23), Europe (23), Russia (20), and Romania (13). [14,28,[46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55].…”

“…Eudiaptomus gracilis (Sars G.O., 1863) Література: Wiśniowski (1888), Полищук, Гарасевич (1986), Парчук, Куц (1993), Kovalchuk N. (1999), Samchyshyna (2011).…”

“…З території Українських Карпат він описав новий для науки вид -Diacyclops cohabitatus Monchenko, 1980, а також новий підвид -Megacyclops viridis sp. oligotrichus Monchenko, 1980. Поширення прісноводних каланоїд в Україні загалом і на території Українських Карпат зокрема узагальнено у праці Л. Самчишиної [23]. Нові дані про поширення таксонів копепод на цій території знаходимо у працях Л. Гулейкової [4,5] і Б. Феся нова [2].…”
