The zoogeographic distributions of the 2,814 species of copepods reported from freshwater
are analysed. Faunal diversity is compared between zoogeographic regions: the Palaearctic …

The distribution of organisms can be regulated by local environmental factors and regional
processes such as dispersal. Here, we review recent work on the role of dispersal for …

Copepods have invaded an astonishing variety of aquatic and humid continental
environments and microhabitats. The historical process of discovery and investigation of …

Invasions of aquatic habitats by non-indigenous species (NIS), including zooplankton, are
occurring at an alarming rate and are causing global concern. Although hundreds of such …

Most ships entering the Great Lakes carry cargo and declare “no-ballast-on board”(NOBOB)
status. Approximately 250 of these vessels annually load Great Lakes' ballast water when …

ABSTRACT Tropical Amphi-Pacific and trans-Pacific disjunctions are among the most
controversial distribution patterns in biogeography. A disjunct distribution pattern between …

The frequency of dispersal of invertebrates among lakes depends upon perspective and
spatial scale. Effective passive dispersal requires both the transport of propagules and the …

Cyclopid copepods from samples of fauna associated with aquatic macrophytes and
plancton obtained in lotic and lentic environments were obtained from the upper Paraná …

As part of a multi-year field study to investigate plankton dynamics in the Lower Columbia
River Estuary (LCRE), we conducted monthly sampling of the mesozooplankton (> 73 μm) at …

Longitudinal changes in composition, abundance, and distribution of copepods were
studied at the transition zone of Paranapanema River-Jurumirim Reservoir (SP, Brazil). The …
