Annotated Zoogeography of non-marine Tardigrada. Part IV: Africa
Zootaxa, 2017Co-Authors: Sandra J. Mcinnes, Łukasz Michalczyk, Łukasz KaczmarekAbstract:This paper is the fourth monograph in a series that describes the global records of limno-terrestrial water bears (Tardigrada). Here, we provide a comprehensive list of non-marine tardigrades recorded from Africa, providing an updated and revised taxonomy accompanied by geographic co-ordinates, habitat, and biogeographic comments. It is hoped this work will serve as a reference point and background for further zoogeographical and taxonomical studies.

The Zoogeography of Marine Tardigrada
Zootaxa, 2015Co-Authors: Łukasz Kaczmarek, Paul J. Bartels, Milena Roszkowska, Diane R. NelsonAbstract:This monograph describes the global records of marine water bears (Phylum Tardigrada). We provide a comprehensive list of marine tardigrades recorded from around the world, providing an up-to-date taxonomy and a complete bibliography accompanied by geographic co-ordinates, habitat, substrate and biogeographic comments. A link is provided to an on-line interactive map where all occurrences for each species are shown. In total we list 197 taxa and their 2240 records from 39 oceans and seas and 18 Major Fishing Areas (FAO). It is hoped this work will serve as a reference point and background for further zoogeographic and taxonomic studies on marine tardigrades.

Annotated Zoogeography of non-marine Tardigrada. Part I: Central America.
Zootaxa, 2014Co-Authors: Łukasz Kaczmarek, Łukasz Michalczyk, Sandra J. McinnesAbstract:Dividing the world into nine regions, this first paper describes literature records of the limno-terrestrial tardigrades (Tardigrada) reported from Central America. Updating previously published species lists we have revised the taxonomy and provided additional habitat, geographic co-ordinates, and biogeographic comments. It is hoped this work will serve as a reference point and background for further zoogeographic studies.

Zoogeography and biodiversity of the freshwater fishes of Southeast Asia
Hydrobiologia, 1994Co-Authors: Mohd. Zakaria-ismailAbstract:The ichthyofauna of the freshwater system of Southeast Asia is extremely diverse. A recent estimate of about 1000 species is probably an understatement. More than 10 new species are being added to the list annually. The distribution pattern of the Southeast Asian freshwater fishes can be divided into five zoogeographic regions. The first one is the Salween basin in Burma, with fishes mainly of the Indian subcontinent origin such as Amblypharyngodon atkinsoni, Bangana almorae and Brachydanio jayarami . The second zoogeographic area is the Mekong, Chao Phraya and Mae Khlong drainages which harbour fishes typical of the mainland of Southeast Asia such as Acanthorhodeus deignani, Barbichthys nitidus and Cirrhinus siamensis . The Malay Peninsula is the third region whose species composition is heavily influenced by the Siamese (such as Homaloptera smithi, Tuberoschistura baenzigeri and Botia beauforti ) and Indonesian (such as Botia hymenophysa, Luciocephalus pulcher and Parosphromenus deissneri ) elements. The islands of Sumatra, Borneo and Java are the fourth zoogeographic area of fish distribution. These islands show a high degree of endemism, especially in fishes of the family Belontiidae. Finally, the freshwater system of the Philippines is the last zoogeographic region of Southeast Asia. The area is characterized by the presence of closely related species of the cyprinids especially in Lake Lanao. Currently, high diversity of these freshwater fishes is being threatened by land development, such as deforestation, road construction and land expansion for plantation. Recent studies in the Gombak River basin show the extermination of 41 per cent of native fish species from 1969 to 1990. This is probably due to the construction of highways, logging, as well as land clearing for agriculture.

Snapping shrimps of the genus Alpheus (Caridea: Alpheidae) from Brazil: range extensions and filling distribution gaps
2018Co-Authors: Andressa Maria Cunha, Guidomar Oliveira Soledade, Harry Boos, Alexandre Oliveira AlmeidaAbstract:ABSTRACTThe objective of this study is to report new occurrences of five species of snapping shrimps of the genus AlpheusFabricius, 1798 in Brazil and, thus, contribute to the knowledge of their Zoogeography. The southern limit of distribution of A. formosus Gibbes, 1850 and A. peasei (Armstrong, 1940) is extended from Paraná to Santa Catarina and from Bahia to Rio de Janeiro, respectively. The northern distribution limit of A. pouang Christoffersen, 1979 and A. verrilli (Schmitt, 1924) is substantially extended from São Paulo to Pará and from Bahia to Pará, respectively. Finally, A. rudolphi Almeida & Anker, 2011, previously known from Ceará and Alagoas, is recorded for the first time in Pernambuco, filling a gap in its known distribution.

snapping shrimps of the genus alpheus fabricius 1798 from brazil caridea alpheidae updated checklist and key for identification
Nauplius, 2013Co-Authors: Guidomar Oliveira Soledade, Alexandre Oliveira AlmeidaAbstract:We provide an updated checklist of the snapping shrimps of the genus Alpheus Fabricius, 1798 (Crustacea: Alpheidae) from the Brazilian coast, as well as a key for their identification. The checklist was based on an exhaustive analysis of the literature published up to now, supported by analysis of material of 24 of the 33 species presently recorded from Brazil. Illustrations of the main diagnostic characters are provided to facilitate the identification process, as well as color photographs of 16 species collected by the authors, to facilitate the identification of fresh specimens. For each species, we provide information on the distribution and a list of previous records for the Brazilian coast. Comments on dubious records or taxonomic remarks are provided when appropriate. Finally, the Zoogeography of the species is briefly discussed.
