The taxon Mesocletodes Sars, 1909 (Argestidae, Harpacticoida, Copepoda) in the South Atlantic. Are there geographic barriers for this taxon off the African coast?
During the Cruises DIVA 1 (2000) and DIVA 2 (2005) to the South Atlantic Ocean, 7 stations containing altogether 410 specimens of the taxon Mesocletodes Sars, 1909 were sampled. Although the Harpacticoida, which comprise amongst others the taxon Mesocletodes (Argestidae), are known as typical benthi...

| Summary: | During the Cruises DIVA 1 (2000) and DIVA 2 (2005) to the South Atlantic Ocean, 7 stations containing altogether 410 specimens of the taxon Mesocletodes Sars, 1909 were sampled. Although the Harpacticoida, which comprise amongst others the taxon Mesocletodes (Argestidae), are known as typical benthic habitants, the Walvis and Guinea ridge do not seem to be geographic barriers for most species. |
