Description
In
this monograph of Iberian Fauna a revision of the class Branchiopoda
in the Iberian-Balearic range is presented. In accordance
with the latest trends in the classification of Crustacea,
the class Branchiopoda includes six orders: Anostraca, Spini-caudata
(as a part of the previously considered Conchostraca), Clenopoda,
Anomopoda and Onychopoda (all three called Cladocera in the
past), and Notostraca. The work was based on the study of
more than 2.000 samples for all over the Iberian Balearic
area and includes identification keys, very complete original
descriptions of native populaitons profusely ilustrated (15
photomicrographies and 181 plates with more than 1500 illustrations)
and information on the biology and distribution of 111 species
under consideration. As a complement, keys to remains are
given wich will useful for wildlife, toxicological and paleolimnological
studies. Finally, a careful revision of the scientific nomenclature
is included.
