The Crustacean Fauna (Branchiopoda, Copepoda) of Shallow Freshwater Bodies in Iceland

A survey of shallow freshwaters of Iceland was conducted in June and July 1996. The 34 stations prospected were rainpools, ditches, wetlands. The composition of their crustacean communities, investigated by qualitative net samples, is discussed in relation to water characteristics. One notostracan,...

The 34 stations prospected were rainpools, ditches, wetlands. The composition of their crustacean communities, investigated by qualitative net samples, is discussed in relation to water characteristics. One notostracan, Lepidurus arcticus (Pallas, 1793), 17 cladoceran species (5 Daphniidae, 10 Chydoridae, 1 Macrothricidae, 1 Polyphemidae), and 12 copepods (2 Diaptomidae, 7 Cyclopidae, 3 Canthocamptidae) were identified. Two species are reported for the first time from Iceland: the diaptomid Diaptomus (Chaetodiaptomus) rostripes Herbst, 1955 and the chydorid Alona rustica Scott, 1895. Taxonomical comments about different species are added, and their ecological pecularities are given. The species richness as well as the biogeographical features of the freshwater zooplankton of Iceland are discussed in relation to neighbouring Greenland and Northern Europe. Обследование мелких пресных водоемов Исландии проведено в июне-июле 1996 г. Материал собирался в дождевых и талых лужах, канавах, болотах. Среди 30 обнаруженных видов отмечены 1 вид щитней Lepidurus arcticus (Pallas, 1793), 17 видов ветвистоусых ракообразных (5 представителей сем. Daphnidae, 10 Chydoridae, 1 Macrothricidae, 1 Polyphemidae), 12 видов веслоногих ракобразных (2 вида сем. Diaptomidae, 7 Cyclopidae, 3 Canthocamptidae). Два вида указаны впервые для фауны Исландии: Diaptomus (Chaetodiatomus) rostripes Herbst, 1955 и Alona rustica Scott, 1895. Состав ракообразных в водоемах обсуждается в связи с экологической характеристикой последних. Для отдельных видов представлены краткие таксономические и экологические замечания. Обсуждаются видовое разнообразие и биогеографические особенности Исландии в связи с фаунистическими контактами с Гренландией и северной Европой.
