“…One of the most recent was the set of databases generated from projects supported by the Mexican National Commission for Biodiversity (CONABIO) and made available through their website (Herrera‐Silveira, ; Maeda‐Martínez, ; Álvarez and Villalobos Hiriart, ; Vásquez‐Yeomans et al ., ; Elías‐Gutiérrez, ; Batllori‐Sampedro et al ., ). Local listings and species distributions were also compiled and analysed from a number of publications (Iliffe, ; Suárez‐Morales and Elías‐Gutiérrez, ; Suárez‐Morales and Reid, ; Maeda‐Martínez et al ., ; Álvarez and Iliffe, ; López‐Mejía, ; Rocha et al ., ; Villalobos‐Hiriart and Álvarez, ) of which all records of inland aquatic crustaceans distributed in the YP and Tabasco were selected. Overall, the database contains 212 species that were assigned to six groups as follows: Branchiopoda, 63; Ostracoda, 2; Copepoda, 61; Peracarida, 24; Decapoda, 60; and Remipedia, 2, totalling 1165 regional records.…”

1. The Yucatan Peninsula (YP), Mexico, is a large karstic Neotropical system hosting a highly diverse crustacean fauna related to epigean and subterranean aquatic habitats. There are more than 40 hypogean endemic species, thus qualifying as a subterranean biodiversity hotspot.2. In view of the relevance of both the YP karstic aquifer and its related crustacean fauna, the spatial distribution of 212 species from 1165 geo-referenced records of the inland aquatic crustaceans were analysed in relation to the geographic coverage of protected natural areas (PNAs) of the YP. The data analysed were obtained from sources including the authors' own observations, published literature, and institutional and government databases.3. The YP is an area with a high biodiversity of continental crustaceans and is also an important area of endemism worldwide. However, most of the crustacean fauna is at risk. Only 18.5% of the crustacean species recorded in the YP and only 3.2% of the endemic forms are distributed within the limits of a protected area. In addition, only five of the 48 endemic species are listed in the Mexican Official Standard (NOM-059-2010) and none of them occurs in a protected area.4. The groups with the highest endemism are the Remipedia and Ostracoda, each with two known YP endemic species. Peracarids are also highly endemic in the YP (62%), followed by Copepoda (27%), Decapoda (18%), and Branchiopoda (1.5%).5. Currently, the areas of most concern, owing to high tourist pressures, are the 'Corridor Tulum -Puerto Morelos' and the 'Ring of Cenotes', both having significant numbers of endemic forms. A revision of the PNAs' management programmes to incorporate aquatic ecosystems and biota, the expansion of selected PNAs to provide protection to critical unprotected areas, and increased research activities focused on the aquatic fauna are recommended actions.

“…During this phase, Mexican researchers continued with descriptions of new large branchiopods, either in collaboration with foreign colleagues or alone. Maeda-Martínez et al [21][22][23] published a review of the knowledge of these groups. The brine shrimp Artemia has been recorded in 11 Mexican states [21].…”

“…The rest of the population remains as Artemia sp. due to the lack of proper systematic characterization [21]. Based on mitogenomic analyses, Sainz-Escudero et al [193] reported a relatively significant divergence between Artemia populations from Mexico and San Francisco Bay, USA (the type locality of A. franciscana).…”

“…The large branchiopods, i.e., fairy and brine shrimps of the order Anostraca, tadpole shrimps of the order Notostraca, and clam shrimps of the orders Cychlestherida, Laevicaudata, and Spinicaudata, live mostly in ephemeral freshwater bodies with extreme physical and chemical conditions. The Anostraca is represented in Mexico by species of four families [21] (Supplementary Table S1). The brine shrimp Artemia is limited to brine water habitats (TDS > 35 g L).…”

In this review, we include rotifers, copepods, and cladocerans, including other groups not usually deemed as zooplankters: i.e., protists, acari, and large branchiopods. The objectives of this study were to integrate the dispersed literature on the taxonomy and diversity of these freshwater zooplankton groups and to explain (1) how these contributions can be arranged in distinct historical periods and (2) how this knowledge has allowed the detection of exotic and threatened species. We divided the freshwater zooplankton studies in Mexico into three historical periods: the first one comprised the 1840s to the 1940s when foreign researchers carried out most studies during several expeditions. Spanish researchers promoted surveys on different zooplankton taxa at the end of this first period. The second period, from the early 1950s to the end of the 1990s of the XX century, showed a remarkably increased research activity in its last ten years only (that is, during the 1990s to 2000), represented by contributions of a new generation of Mexican zooplanktologists. This period yielded more complete zooplankton listings and detailed morphological descriptions of rotifers, cladocerans, copepods, and large branchiopods. The third period started from the year 2000 to date. During this time, listings and online faunistic baselines based on integrative taxonomy have been the primary trend. An account of exotic zooplankters and conservation issues of several native species are discussed. The results of this review show that the knowledge of the freshwater zooplankton of this country has increased significantly over the last 40 years, with at least 408 first records of species for Mexico. Currently, the knowledge of Mexican freshwater zooplankton is among the most complete in the world. However, it is estimated that only a small fraction of the true diversity has been documented.
