“…This species is known from Sri Lanka, Java, Africa and South America while it is so far observed in this country from southern, central and western India. C. ventricosus is recently reported (Sharma & Sharma 2010) from northeastern India from Assam and this study extends its distribution to the state of Meghalaya. Interestingly, the stated aspects indicate that the occurrence of Alona guttata tuberculata, Camptocercus uncinatus and Chydorus ventricosus is restricted to northeastern India.…”

“…The former is known only from Europe, Columbia, and former USSR as against the nominate Alona guttata which apparently is a cosmopolitan species. A. guttata tuberculata is, however, recently documented from India from Meghalaya and Assam (Sharma & Sharma 2010). Simocephalus acutirostratus appears to occur in central India and southwards (Sharma 1991) while S. serrulatus is so far only known from southern India, Assam and Meghalaya.…”

Thirty-four species of Cladocera, belonging to 24 genera and seven families, documented from the Nokrek Biosphere Reserve of Meghalaya indicate fairly speciose and diverse taxocoenosis and comprise 57.7% of species known from this state. Coronatella anodonta is the first confirmed report from India and two species are new records from Meghalaya. Disperalona caudata is an interesting Australasian element and a number of species show regional distributional importance. The Cladocera of the Nokrek Biosphere Reserve show tropical characteristics with Cosmopolitan > Cosmotropical species, and are characterized by a distinct richness of the littoralperiphytonic members of the Chydoridae as well as a paucity of limnetic elements. The species richness of Cladocera in various localities ranges between 11-24 (15±3) species.

“…It is quite common in the Oriental zone (Sanoamuang, 1998;Maiphae et al, 2005;Tanaka and Ohtaka, 2010) while showing a cosmopolitan distribution. A. clathratula was apparently overlooked in studies in India, until its reports from Bihar (Sharma and Sharma, 2001), Assam (Sharma andSharma, 2008, 2010) and Meghalaya (Sharma, 2010). It is distributed in Assam, Bihar, Kerala, Manipur and Meghalaya within India.…”

“…The cladoceran fauna from floodplain lakes of American and European countries such as the Upper Paraná (Serafim-J unior et al, 2003;Lansac-Tôha et al, 2009), Danube (Kiss, 2004;Illyova and Nemethova, 2005;Kiss and Scholl, 2009) and Acthafalya river basins (Davidson et al, 2000) were well documented. However, the study from Indian floodplain lakes are limited only to the reports of Khan (1987), Sharma and Sharma (2010) and Sharma (2008). The cladoceran fauna from floodplain wetlands of the Brahmaputra river basin of Assam (Sharma and Sharma, 2007, 2012 are considered well documented, with 74 species being reported to date (Sharma and Sharma, 2014).…”

The plankton samples collected from the Subansiri floodplain wetlands revealed a rich Cladocera assemblage of 55 species belonging to 30 genera and 7 families. The species richness represents 42% and 75% of the total amount of fresh water species reported from India and Assam, respectively. Chydoridae was the most speciose family, with 31 species, while Ilyocryptidae was represented by a single species. Sididae, Daphniidae, Bosminidae, Moinidae and Macrothricidae were represented by four, five, three, two and four species, respectively. The faunal composition is represented by cosmopolitan, tropical and oriental elements. The documentation of Diaphanosoma dubium, Latonopsis australis, Simocephalus mixtus, Chydorus sphaericus, Chydorus parvus, Chydorus ovalis, Alonella clathratula, Pleuroxus cf. denticulatus, Picripleuroxus quasidenticulatus, Celsinotum macronyx, Coronatella anodonta and Kurzia (Rostrukurzia) brevilabris has biogeographic importance. We provide brief geographical distributional remarks about these 12 species from the collected samples. This was a preliminary study, as the fauna from the Indian subcontinent is poorly documented, and requires a taxonomic revision as a whole. The faunistic diversity of cladocerans comprises a clear representation of a tropical cladoceran assemblage.

“…[13][14][15][16][17] Contribution on biodiversity of Cladocera of North East Himalaya has also been made by Sharma and Sharma. [18][19][20][21][22] Few reports on the zooplankton of Western Himalaya are also available. [23][24][25][26][27][28][29] However, the scattered reports on the of lentic and lotic environments of Uttarakhand are available and no sincere attempt has been made so far on the comprehensive review the status of the biodiversity of freshwater zooplankton of Uttarakhand.…”

The present contribution is a comprehensive review of the status of biodiversity of freshwater zooplankton of Uttarakhand Himalaya. Uttarakhand harbours a wide diversity in freshwater habitats in terms of rapids, riffles, runs, cascades of falls and pools of rivers and streams and the shallow and swift water of springs and lentic waters of lakes, ponds and reservoirs with varied physico-chemical environmental variables. Freshwater zooplankton of Uttarakhand are composed of the taxa of Protozoa, Rotifera, Copepoda, Cladocera and Ostrocoda. Ritifera contributes maximum (40.50%) with thirty two species followed by Protozoa (22.78%) with eighteen species and Cladocera (22.78%) with eighteen species to the total zooplankton taxa of Uttarakhand. Copepoda contributes 8.86% with seven species, while minimum contribution (5.08%) with only four species is made by Ostracoda to the total zooplankton taxa of Uttarakhand. Seasonal variation in the abundance of zooplankton in addition to diurnal vertical migration in diverse freshwater habitats of Uttarakhand Himalayahas also been reported.
