Notholca caudata (Rotatoria, Brachionidae)

http://cfb.unh.edu

  • Occur also in Sweden and Canada

(Кутикова, 1994). Notholca spp. do not usually inhabit regions below 58° N latitude (Кутикова, 1998); Notholca spp. are cold stenotherms, living only within a limited range of cold temperatures. These rotifers are planktonic but also may be littoral. Probably N. caudata is a glacial relict (Bayanov, 2003).

  • N. caudata eat phytoplankton such as

Asterionella and Melosira.

Mysis relicta (Mysidacea, Mysidae)

  • Mysis is a omnivorous

filter feeder. Algae, detritus, and different zooplankton are all consumed.

  • M. relicta is a glacial

relict (Bayanov, 2003).

Central Michigan University, Zooplankton of the Great Lakes

  • Inhabit waters of basin of Arctic Ocean, Baltic Sea & Great Lakes.

These areas include lakes in Sweden, Norway, British Columbia, Montana and California (Фильчаков, 1995 et al.).

Pallasea quadrispinosa (Amphipoda, Pallaseidae)

  • Freshwater lakes & rivers
  • f Scandinavia, north

Germany, Poland & Russia, saltish sites of White & Baltic Sea. Finding of this species known from Siberia (Тахтеев, 2000).

  • Probably P. quadrispinosa

is a glacial-frehswater relict (Тахтеев, 2000; Bayanov, 2003).

Mesofauna of karst landscapes

A.N. Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution (Moscow)

  • A.B. Babenko (2008) & O.L. Makarova (2006, 2007, 2009)
  • Investigation of mesofauna from cold karstogenic habitats of Pinega Nature

Reserve, such as Maseev, Severnyi & Tarakanyi Ravines, rocky outcrop and some sinkholes were studied.

  • Organic matter (tree waste, dust of rotten wood) from some caves was

examined too.

  • Findings of investigation show, that epigeous karst habitats

have specific set of collembolan and mite species.

  • Cave habitats had negative temperatures, organic matter

wasn’t invade with arthropods.

Our knowleges about insects in Pinega caves is very poor. There is only fragmentary data in speleological materials

Thank you for your attention!

Spesial thanks to D.A. Sidorov (BSI FEB RAS, Vladivostok) for remark about crustacean taxonomy and O.L. Makarova (IEE RAS, Moscow) for help in finding material.
