“…Such phenomenon is becoming increasingly important in the Western Palaearctic region, where the records of allochthonous calanoid copepods are increasing at a fast pace (e.g., Ferrari et al 1991;Rossetti et al 1996;Alfonso and Belmonte 2008;Brandorff 2011;Alfonso et al 2014).…”

Background: To date, only scarce information is available about the diaptomid copepods of the Middle East despite the ecological and biogeographical importance of the family Diaptomidae in the inland waters of the Holarctic region. Moreover, the taxonomic status of some of the taxa occurring in the area is in need of revision. We studied crustaceans collected from temporary and permanent lentic water bodies in Israel with the aim of providing an updated census of the diaptomid copepods occurring in the country. Furthermore, we morphologically and genetically analysed samples of Arctodiaptomus similis s.l. to shed light on its taxonomy. Results: Five diaptomid taxa were collected during this survey. Among these, Phyllodiaptomus blanci is new for the country and the whole circum-Mediterranean area and might be an allochthonous species of eastern origin. Within the collected samples, we singled out two parapatric groups of populations within A. similis s.l.; these consistently differ both based on morphology (chaetotaxy of the left male antennule) and molecular data (divergence over 17% at the mitochondrial gene for the cytochrome b). We thus attribute the full species rank to Arctodiaptomus irregularis Dimentman & Por, 1985 stat. rev., originally described as a subspecies of the widespread species Arctodiaptomus similis (Baird, 1859). Conclusions:We critically evaluated all species hitherto reported for Israeli inland waters. Considering both the confirmed literature data and the new findings, Israeli diaptomid fauna is composed of at least seven species. However, the need for further surveys in the Middle East and for detailed systematic revisions of some controversial taxa is stressed. Our results on the systematics of A. similis s.l. illustrate the importance of implementing molecular analyses when investigating diversity patterns of groups which are difficult to resolve based on morphology alone.

“…Among Calanoida (Crustacea Copepoda), two nonindigenous extra-continental species have been reported in European inland waters to date. Boeckella triarticulata (Thomson, 1883) was reported for the first time in Europe in Northern Italy, where it arrived from the Australasian area most likely with live fish for aquaculture (Ferrari et al, 1991;Ferrari and Rossetti, 2006). The species then spread in the southern part of the Italian peninsula, especially in the newly built man-made reservoirs (Alfonso and Belmonte, 2008).…”

“…Most documented freshwater Zooplankton invasions have been within or between continents in the Northern Hemisphere, e.g., the invasion of the North American Great Lakes by Ponto-Caspian species (Ricciardi & Maclsaac 2000). Instances of crosshemisphere invasions are rare, but a few examples are known, including the invasion of northern Italian lakes by the Australian copepod Boeckella triarticulata (Ferrari et al 1991). Such invaders usually enter geographic realms in which they are taxonomically and morphologically distinct, so their impacts might be expected to be more marked than in instances of intra-hemisphere invasions (e.g., Ricciardi & Atkinson 2004).…”
