“…Nevertheless, this new score is yet low in comparison with Brazil (approximately 169 species) (Elmoor-Loureiro et al 2023) and Argentina (about 170 species) (José de Paggi et al 2023). On the other hand, the richness observed in Colombia is superior to values in Paraguay (Villalba Duré et al 2023), Uruguay (Caraballo et al 2023), and Venezuela (González-Rivas et al 2023.…”

Thirty-five cladocerans species are recorded from La Española lagoon in the Orinoquia region of Colombia; all are new records for Meta Department and 10 for Colombia. With the addition of these new reports, the total number of cladocerans for Colombia and the Meta department is increased by 124 and 38 species, respectively. The cladoceran fauna from the surveyed area is represented mainly by widespread species, commonly found in the Neotropical regions, but local morphological data are scarce in the regional literature. Brief diagnostic description of 18 species of cladoceran fauna recorded of the Meta department-Colombia are provided together with illustrations of taxonomically significant appendages, morphological remarks, notes on the variability of some species, and their distribution.

“…Moreover, analysis of the exon-intron organization in fed3 and fed4 further supported these were likely instances of HGT. The A. steineri fed3 is intronless, characteristic of horizontally transferred genes by RNA retrotransposition [88][89][90] likely from kinetoplastids that are often prevalent in the freshwater habitats occupied by bdelloid rotifers [91][92][93][94]. Unlike fed3, fed4 contains introns suggesting a relatively more complex mechanism by which fed4 has been transferred into the A. steineri genome, combining RNA retrotransposition as described for fed3 and/or further intron gain likely occurring via the intron-generating transposons called 'introners' [95,96].…”

Previous data revealed the unexpected presence of genes encoding for long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LC-PUFA) biosynthetic enzymes in transcriptomes from freshwater gammarids but not in marine species, even though closely related species were compared. This study aimed to clarify the origin and occurrence of selected LC-PUFA biosynthesis gene markers across all published gammarid transcriptomes. Through systematic searches, we confirmed the widespread occurrence of sequences from seven elongases and desaturases involved in LC-PUFA biosynthesis, in transcriptomes from freshwater gammarids but not marine species, and clarified that such occurrence is independent from the gammarid species and geographical origin. The phylogenetic analysis established that the retrieved elongase and desaturase sequences were closely related to bdelloid rotifers, confirming that multiple transcriptomes from freshwater gammarids contain contaminating rotifers' genetic material. Using the Adineta steineri genome, we investigated the genomic location and exon–intron organization of the elongase and desaturase genes, establishing they are all genome-anchored and, importantly, identifying instances of horizontal gene transfer. Finally, we provide compelling evidence demonstrating Bdelloidea desaturases and elongases enable these organisms to perform all the reactions for de novo biosynthesis of PUFA and, from them, LC-PUFA, an advantageous trait when considering the low abundance of these essential nutrients in freshwater environments.
