“…The Central-Apennines hotspot was mainly driven by the Canthocamptidae (5 genera, 14 species) with a good representativeness of the Ameiridae (2 genera, 11 species), followed by the Parastenocarididae (5 genera, 8 species), the Ectinosomatidae (1 genus, 3 species) and the Phyllognathopodidae, with the sole stygobitic species of the genus Phyllognathopus known worldwide so far, P. inexspectatus (Galassi et al 2011). This hotspot hosted a relatively low species richness if compared to the other ones, along with high endemicity score (10 spot endemics), the highest taxonomic distinctness at the family level, high phylogenetic rarity (e.g.…”

Biodiversity hotspots are routinely identified by grid‐based analyses, despite grids encompassing different habitats, thus hindering the potential to assess which habitat type accounts for the conservation priority assigned to a grid. In this study, we aimed at identifying the main hotspots for the conservation of the European stygobitic Crustacea Copepoda Harpacticoida at the groundwater habitat scale. A multi‐metric approach was used, based on six biodiversity indicators: species richness, endemicity, evolutionary origin, phylogenetic rarity, taxonomic distinctness, habitat specificity. The Hot Spot Analysis, based on the statistics Getis‐Ord Gi*, was used to compare the local to the global average values of each indicator to identify hotspots of conservation. The operational units used to perform the analyses were the groundwater habitat types, in order to gather all the possible patterns of spatial occupancy in terms of habitat variability. Eight biodiversity hotspots of stygobitic Crustacea Harpacticoida were highlighted: 1) the Pyrenees (Spain and France), 2) the Jura Massif (France), 3) the Alpine arc (France, Switzerland and Italy) embracing southward the River Po alluvial plain and the Slovenian External Dinarides, 4) the Central Apennines (Italy), 5) the Carpathian and Balkan mountains in Romania and at the boundary between western Bulgaria and north‐west Macedonia, 6) the Dinaric Alps (from Croatia to Albania), 7) the Sardinia Island, 8) an area in central‐northern Europe embracing Denmark, the Netherlands and Germany. The hotspots showed a clear spatial distribution in southern Europe where they were distributed predominantly south to the 45th parallel, in line to what reiteratively observed in previous studies. Many hotspots embraced more than one habitat type. The adoption of discrete groundwater habitat types as working spatial units rather than grids provided a higher resolution of where the stygobitic harpacticoid species effectively live, with the possibility of intervening more precisely to preserve them and their habitats.

“…Some copepod species in the study, D. languidoides, E. serrulatus, M. viridis, T. prasinus, P. chiltoni, T. prasinus, A. crassa, N. stammeri, and P. viguieri are reported by various researchers to live in a wide range of habitats such as caves, wells, groundwater systems, spring waters, ponds, rivers, backwaters, benthic zone of lakes, marshes and swamps (Morton & Bayly, 1977;Pesce & Maggi, 1981;Berzins & Bertilsson, 1990;Lehman & Reid, 1992;Karaytuğ, 1999;Dussart & Defaye, 2006;Lee & Chang, 2007;Tang & Knott, 2008;Galassi et al, 2011;Iepure et al, 2014;Bruno & Cottarelli, 2015;Iepure et al, 2016;Bozkurt, 2017). T. dybowskii, one of the copepod species recorded in the study, which was not reported from groundwater and wells, is in perennial ponds, coastal waters (occasional), pelagic zone of ponds and lakes, lives in small water bodies (Maier, 1990).…”

A total of 27 taxons, 12 from Rotifera, 1 from Cladocera, and 14 from Copepoda, were determined in the study, which was conducted by sampling 4 times from 29 water wells. A total of 3 families were detected from Rotifera and Lecanidae was the richest family with 8 species. Among the 6 families of Copepoda, Cyclopoidae had 8 species. The rotifer species with the largest distribution areas were Lecane closterocerca (found in 15 wells), Pleuroxus aduncus, the only species from Cladocera, was found in 21 wells and Kinnecaris xanthi had the widest distribution area (found in 27 wells). In terms of total zooplankton species, it was determined that wells 3, 12, and 18 were the richest with 14 species. While Rotifera was found in limited quantities in all water wells, Pleuroxus aduncus from Cladocera, Diacyclops longuioides, Megacyclops viridis, Monchenkocyclops mehmetadami and Thermocyclops dybowski from Copepoda were found in very large quantities. In addition, the genus Ectinosoma is reported for the first time from inland waters of Türkiye with this study.

“…Calanoids are predominantly planktonic, and cyclopoids can either be planktonic (also in subterranean lakes and pools) or reside in interstitial habitats, however preferring mediumcoarse sediments. Harpacticoids are almost exclusively benthic organisms, either inhabiting the minute voids among the sediment particles or living as epiphytic in the benthos (e.g., in mosses or macrophytes, swimming or gliding on the leaf surfaces in proximity of the benthic surface) or as hyperbenthic, swimming in the few millimeters above the sediment surface or alternatively in phytotelmata (Reid 2001;Galassi et al 2011). In groundwater, they are exclusively linked to benthic habitats (Galassi et al 2009a).…”

Widespread pollution from agriculture is one of the major causes of the poor freshwater quality currently observed across Europe. Several studies have addressed the direct impact of agricultural pollutants on freshwater biota by means of laboratory bioassays; however, as far as copepod crustaceans are concerned, the ecotoxicological research is scarce for freshwater species and almost nonexistent for the hypogean ones. In this study, we conducted a comparative analysis of the available literature data on the sensitivity of freshwater copepods to agricultural pollutants. We also assessed the acute and chronic sensitivity of a hypogean and an epigean species, both belonging to the Crustacea Copepoda Cyclopoida Cyclopidae, to two N-fertilizers (urea and ammonium nitrate) and two herbicides (ARIANE TM II from Dow AgroSciences LLC, and Imazamox), widely used for cereal agriculture in Europe. According to the literature review, freshwater copepods are sensitive to a range of pesticides and N-fertilizers. Ecotoxicological studies on hypogean species of copepods account only one study. There are no standardized protocols available for acute and chronic toxicity tests for freshwater copepods, making comparisons about sensitivity difficult. From our experiments, ionized ammonia proved to be more toxic than the herbicide Imazamox, in both short and chronic bioassays. Urea was the less toxic chemical for both species. The hypogean species was more sensitive than the epigean one to all chemicals. For both species and for all tested chemicals, acute lethality and chronic lethality were induced at concentrations higher than the law limits of good water body quality in Europe, except for ionized ammonia, which provoked the chronic lethality of the hypogean species at a lower concentration. The hazardous concentration (HC) of unionized ammonia for 5 % of freshwater copepods, obtained by a species sensitivity distribution, was 92 μg l −1 , significantly lower than the HC computed for traditional test species from freshwater environments.
