“…Another possible explanation for the species common to Africa and Taiwan could be the existence of water links between the Pacific and Adriatic regions through the Paratethys millions of years ago [33]. This is indicated by the repeatedly noted faunistic commonality of both existing and extinct species of mollusks, trematodes, planarians and copepods common to these faunas [34][35][36]. To fully address the issue of the ways of formation of the nematode fauna of Taiwan, it is necessary to conduct comparative molecular studies of these species from Africa and Taiwan.…”

Invertebrates in tropical ecosystems are generally considered to have little or no need for a dormant phase due to the stability of the habitat. However, resting stages of aquatic organisms are occasionally found here as well. This fact increases the possibility of transport of tropical organisms by ships’ ballast water, which is the main vector for the spread of alien aquatic organisms between continents. During a study of resting stages in the bottom sediments of the island of Taiwan in 2006–2007, nine species of invertebrates were found, invasive or new to the fauna of the island, with some of them forming large banks of resting stages in sediments.
