A new species of freshwater shrimp of the genus Micratya (Decapoda: Atyidae: Caridea) from Puerto Rico

Abstract: The atyid genus Micratya Bouvier, 1913 was previously considered to be monotypic. The area in which the genus is dis-tributed is limited to the islands of the Antilles and Central America, with the type locality of Micratya poeyi being in Cuba. A recent molecular phylogenetic analysis of atyid shrimps from the Caribbean indicated the probable existence of a second species of Micratya from samples collected in Puerto Rico. Here it is described as the new species Micratya cooki sp. nov., differing from its conge… Show more

“…In addition, Typhlatya kakuki, from the Bahamas was described by Alvarez et al (2005) (which closely resembles species from Cuba). Other taxa of freshwater shrimps from the region include Micratya cooki from Puerto Rico (Karge et al 2013), and a potential new species of Potimirim sp. from Puerto Rico that is currently being described (F. L. Mantelatto pers.…”

“…Progress with identification of the decapod species diversity in Caribbean fresh waters (e.g. Karge, Page & Klotz, ; Pérez‐Reyes et al ., ) has stimulated more ecological research now that investigators can study the dispersal (Kikkert, Crowl & Covich, ) and evolution of co‐occurring species (Page et al ., ; Bauer, ). Understanding of the primary controls on growth rates (Bright, ; Yam & Dudgeon, ; Vogt, ) and predator–prey dynamics (e.g.…”

“…O Barrois (1893), αφού μελέτησε δείγματα από τη Μέση Ανατολή (A. orientalis), πρώτος επισημαίνει τις φυλετικές διαφορές που εμφανίζονται στο τρίτο και τέταρτο ζεύγος περαιοποδίων, οι οποίες επιβεβαιώθηκαν και από τους Annandale & Kemp (1913). Στη συγκεκριμένη μελέτη επιβεβαιώνεται η παρουσία των πολυάριθμων ακανθών που έχουν τη μορφή αγκίστρων στο αρσενικά, όπως έχει παρατηρηθεί να υπάρχουν και σε άλλα είδη της οικογένειας Atyidae (Karge et al, 2013). Η φυλετική διαφοροποίηση του τρίτου και τέταρτου περαιοποδίου έχει παρατηρηθεί ευρέως στα Atyidae (π.χ.…”
