“…Trading of living fish for sport and professional fishing can be also responsible for the accidental introductions of (micro)organisms and a huge number of nonindigenous species are reported as ''invaders'' in freshwater ecosystems at a high frequency (Ruiz & Carlton, 2003;Havens & Beaver, 2014). Two calanoid copepods of Eastern origin, Boeckella triarticulata and Neodiaptomus schmackeri, were recently recorded in the Mediterranean area and their presence has been related to fish farming (Ferrari & Rossetti, 2006;Alfonso & Belmonte, 2008;Alfonso et al, 2014). Further examples of accidental introductions are those of Pediastrum biwae, an endemic microalga of Lake Biwa (Japan), now a well-established species in the phytoplankton assemblage of Lake Arancio, Sicily (Naselli-Flores & Barone, 2005), and Isoëtes malinverniana, a quillwort known from the Piedmont region of north-western Italy which is considered a species of Asian origin, transported along with rice seed to Italian rice fields (Hoot et al, 2006; but contrasting results can be found in Gentili et al, 2010).…”

“…''Sicily.'' Neodiaptomus schmackeri (Poppe & Richard, 1892), Phyllodiaptomus blanci (Guerne & Richard, 1896), and Skistodiaptomus pallidus (Herrick, 1879) although occurring in the study area were not included in the occurrence matrix because they are considered as alien species in the Western Palearctic (see Brandorff, 2011;Alfonso et al, 2014;Marrone et al, 2014, respectively). Sinodiaptomus valkanovi reported to occur in Bulgaria (Kiefer, 1938(Kiefer, , 1978, sometimes as Sinodiaptomus sarsi, which is in fact a different species, is here considered non-native in the whole study area (cf.…”

Diversity patterns and biogeography of Diaptomidae (Copepoda, Calanoida) in the Western Palearctic

Diaptomid copepods are an important component of biodiversity in inland aquatic ecosystems worldwide but to date little is known about the historical and ecological factors that determined their current distribution. In the present paper, a critical review of the available literature on diaptomid species distribution in the Western Palearctic was performed, and a biogeographical analysis was carried out on the roles that spatial, current environmental, and historical (paleoclimatic) factors played on their actual distribution in this large area. The results show a clear pattern of colonization which is only partially overlapping what has been recently proposed for other terrestrial and aquatic taxa. Disentangling beta diversity into its turnover and nestedness components, we hypothesized a complex post-glacial pattern of recolonization of the higher latitudes, encompassing the importance of extra-Mediterranean refugia in the West (due to mountain chains which represent effective barriers for recolonization coming from the Italian and Iberian peninsulas) and a more typical pattern of postglacial recolonization from southern refugia in the East, where mountain chains are north-south oriented and therefore less effective as barriers.

“…The second group (blue circles in Figure 4) comprised low-altitude karst waterbodies that were located in the Dumre area (Figure 1; elevation 239.9 ± 86.2 m, mean ± 1SE), where they are subjected to several anthropogenic pressures, including agricultural and urban pollution, eutrophication, and the introduction of non-indigenous fish species [87]. Accordingly, the group is characterized by the occurrence of Neodiaptomus schmackeri, an Australasian species of Chinese origin that was recently introduced in Albanian lentic habitats through fish stocking [88] and the copepod Ergasilus sp., whose adult females are ectoparasites of fish [89].…”

Resolving the contribution to biodiversity patterns of regional-scale environmental drivers is, to date, essential in the implementation of effective conservation strategies. Here, we assessed the species richness S and taxonomic distinctness Δ+ (used a proxy of phylogenetic diversity) of crustacean zooplankton assemblages from 40 ponds and small lakes located in Albania and North Macedonia and tested whether they could be predicted by waterbodies’ landscape characteristics (area, perimeter, and altitude), together with local bioclimatic conditions that were derived from Wordclim and MODIS databases. The results showed that a minimum adequate model, including the positive effects of non-arboreal vegetation cover and temperature seasonality, together with the negative influence of the mean temperature of the wettest quarter, effectively predicted assemblages’ variation in species richness. In contrast, taxonomic distinctness did not predictably respond to landscape or bioclimatic factors. Noticeably, waterbodies’ area showed a generally low prediction power for both S and Δ+. Additionally, an in-depth analysis of assemblages’ species composition indicated the occurrence of two distinct groups of waterbodies characterized by different species and different precipitation and temperature regimes. Our findings indicated that the classical species-area relationship hypothesis is inadequate in explaining the diversity of crustacean zooplankton assemblages characterizing the waterbodies under analysis. In contrast, local bioclimatic factors might affect the species richness and composition, but not their phylogenetic diversity, the latter likely to be influenced by long-term adaptation mechanisms.
