  • Cladocera (Crustacea, Branchiopoda) of Central Yakutia: 1. Some Representatives of the Families Sididae, Daphniidae, and Ophryoxidae
    Biology Bulletin, 2017
    Co-Authors: A. I. Klimovsky, N. M. Korovchinsky, E. I. Bekker, A. A. Kotov
    Abstract:

    This series of communications is aimed to report on a study of the water fleas (Crustacea, Cladocera) of Central Yakutia. This first communication provides brief descriptions of the representatives of the families Sididae, Daphniidae, and Ophryoxidae, namely Sida crystallina (O.F. Müller 1776), Diaphanosoma orghidani orghidani Negrea 1982, Diaphanosoma amurensis Korovchinsky et Sheveleva 2009, Diaphanosoma brachyurum (Liévin 1848), Scapholeberis mucronata (O.F. Müller 1776), Scapholeberis rammneri Dumont et Pensaert 1983, Megafenestra cf. nasuta (Birge 1879), Simocephalus cf. serrulatus (Koch 1841), and Ophryoxus kolymensis Smirnov 1992. Remarks are given on the occurrence of these taxa in Northern Eurasia.

  • Diaphanosoma Fischer, 1850 (Crustacea: Cladocera: Sididae) of Lake Turkana (East Africa), with the description of a new species of the genus.
    Zootaxa, 2017
    Co-Authors: N. M. Korovchinsky, Elizabeth J. Walsh, Radoslav Smolak
    Abstract:

    Diaphanosoma turkanae sp. nov. is described from Lake Turkana (Kenya, East Africa). This species is the second Afrotropical endemic in the order Ctenopoda. It is characterized by a distinctive feature, the presence of an unusually small number of setae on the upper two-segmented antennal branch (exopodite); the proximal segment of the branch always bears three setae while the distal segment bears either six or seven setae. Morphologically the new species is most similar to D. orghidani Negrea , also occurring in Africa and presumably sharing an evolutionary affinity. D. turkanae sp. nov. co-occurs with two other species of the genus, D. lacustris Kořinek and D. excisum Sars, which are briefly described here. Temperate-subtropical species of the genus Diaphanosoma penetrate far south along the Nile River system up to the equatorial and Ethiopian lakes and further southwards, often forming multi-species assemblages.

  • A new species of Diaphanosoma Fischer, 1850 (Crustacea: Branchiopoda: Sididae) inhabits lakes of the western United States
    Journal of Limnology, 2015
    Co-Authors: N. M. Korovchinsky
    Abstract:

    Diaphanosoma edmondsoni sp. nov.  is described from material from several lakes in Washington, California, and Montana. It differs from all other known species of the genus in having a specific combination of traits: a head with conspicuously protruding dorsal part, comparatively small eye shifted ventrally, specific armament of postero-ventral valve margin, lack of thorn(s) near posterior valve margin, comparatively long distal basal spine of postabdominal claws of slightly variable shape, and occasional presence of additional large spines on the claws. This is the first endemic species of the genus (and also of the family Sididae and order Ctenopoda) recorded in the western part of North America, which along with some other cladocerans form a group of taxa highlighting this region as one of the regional centers of endemic aquatic fauna.

  • Redescription of Limnosida frontosa Sars, 1862 (Crustacea: Cladocera: Sididae), with evidence of possible incipient species differentiation.
    Zootaxa, 2014
    Co-Authors: N. M. Korovchinsky
    Abstract:

    Limnosida frontosa Sars, 1862 is redescribed based on the material from over its entire range, from Norway and Finland in the west to Yakutia in eastern Siberia and the Lower Amur River basin (Far East of Russia) in the east. Morphological analysis of the species has revealed a combination of advanced and evolutionary primitive features, latter characterizing Limnosida as the most primitive member of the order Ctenopoda. Investigation of intra- and interpopulational morphological variability, in particular of the post abdominal claws, led to a tentative separation of the species into two main forms, occurring regionally in the north-west and east of Northern Eurasia. Their taxonomic status as yet remains unclear. Some overlap in geographical distribution of these forms and the presence of populations with intermediate morphological features probably reflects irregularity of the diversification process in L. frontosa s.l. within its range. This diversification may be the result of both geographic disjunction and adaptation to waters of different trophic status. The low level of intraspecies differentiation and comparatively limited geographic distribution of this species imply its young age while the genus Limnosida itself is presumed ancient.
