Arctodiaptomus kamtschaticus is a species of crustacean in the family Diaptomidae. It is endemic to lakes in Kamchatka, eastern Russia, and is listed as a vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List. [1]
Diaptomus is a genus of copepods with a single eye spot. It is superficially similar in size and appearance to Cyclops. However it has characteristically very long first antennae that exceed the body length. In addition, the females carry the eggs in a single sac rather than the twin sacs seen in Cyclops. It is a copepod of larger freshwater ponds, lakes and still waters.
Arctodiaptomus is a genus of copepods in the family Diaptomidae.
Calamoecia is a genus of copepods in the family Centropagidae confined to Australasia. It is thought to have evolved since the separation of the Australian continent from Antarctica. Three of the Australian endemic species are listed as vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List. The genus contains the following species:
Dussartius baeticus is a species of crustacean in the family Diaptomidae. It is endemic to the Iberian Peninsula, having been found in south-eastern Spain, and in the waters of the Tagus estuary, the Caniçada reservoir, and four reservoirs in the Mondego system in Portugal.
Epischurella baikalensis is a species of copepod in family Temoridae. It is endemic to Lake Baikal, being the dominant zooplankton species there: 80%–90% of total biomass. It measures 1.5–2 mm (0.06–0.08 in).
Epischura is a genus of copepods in the family Temoridae.
Epischura massachusettsensis is a species of copepod in the family Temoridae, endemic to Massachusetts. It is listed as Data Deficient on the IUCN Red List. Adult males are around 3 mm (0.12 in) long.
Erebonectes is a genus of crustacean in family Epacteriscidae, containing two troglobitic species. E. nasioticus was discovered in Bermuda and described in 1985; it is listed as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List. E. macrochaetus was found on Middle Caicos and described in 1994.
Heliodiaptomus kolleruensis is a species of copepod in the family Diaptomidae. It was described in 1981 from specimens collected in the Krishna River, Lake Kolleru and bodies of water in Guntur district, Andhra Pradesh, India. It is listed as a vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List.
Hemiboeckella powellensis, is a zooplankton copepod of which only four of its kind have ever been observed. "Hemiboeckella" refers to this genus being a subvariant of Boeckella, whilst “powellensis” refers to Lake Powell in Western Australia, the region it is endemic to. Its existence was initially recorded in May and June of 1977, and has not been observed since.
Hesperodiaptomus is a genus of copepods in the family Diaptomidae, containing 18 species. Two species – Hesperodiaptomus augustaensis and Hesperodiaptomus californiensis – are endemic to the United States and listed as vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List.
Leptocaris is a genus of copepods in the family Darcythompsoniidae. One species, the Mexican endemic L. stromatolicolus, is included on the IUCN Red List as a vulnerable species. The genus contains the following species:
Nitocrella is a genus of copepod. Although most other genera in the family Ameiridae are marine, species of Nitocrella are almost exclusively found in subterranean fresh water or brackish water. More than 80 species are included in the genus, including two which are listed as vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List:
Notodiaptomus is a genus of copepods in the family Diaptomidae. It is the most widely distributed, most abundant and most species-rich genus of freshwater calanoid copepods in the Neotropics. The genus was erected in 1936 by Friedrich Kiefer for eleven species formerly placed in a wider Diaptomus. Notodiaptomus deitersi was chosen to be the type species by Raúl Adolfo Ringuelet in 1958.
Skistodiaptomus is a genus of freshwater copepods in the family Diaptomidae, found across North America. The genus contains eight species, three of which are endemic to the United States and are listed on the IUCN Red List as vulnerable species (VU) or Data Deficient (DD).
Tropodiaptomus is a genus of copepods in the family Diaptomidae. It includes the following species, many of which are narrow endemics and are included on the IUCN Red List :
Diaptomidae is a family of freshwater pelagic copepods. It includes around 50 genera:
Sinodiaptomus is a genus of freshwater copepods in the family Diaptomidae, found in Asia and Palaearctic regions. The Japanese Sinodiaptomus valkanovi has established non-indigenous populations in California, Bulgaria and New Zealand, although only the New Zealand population persists due to destruction of the habitat in California and Bulgaria. The genus was originally described as a subgenus of Diaptomus, containing only Sinodiaptomus chaffanjoni, but now contains five species:
Platycopiidae is a family of copepods. Until the description of Nanocopia in 1988, it contained the single genus Platycopia. It now contains four genera, three of which are monotypic; the exception is Platycopia, with 8 species.
Mildred Stratton Wilson was an American zoologist, whose work on copepods was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1955.
