Branchiopoda (Ctenopoda and Anomopoda) and Copepoda from eastern Numidia, Algeria

A total of 33 sites (27 temporary pools, five dune slacks and one shallow lake) were sampled during January 1998. Forty two taxa (one ctenopoda, 19 anomopoda and 22 copepoda) are recorded. Data from the varied habitats types (temporary pools, dunary ponds, shallow lakes) are compared and biotic and...

Zusammenfassung:A total of 33 sites (27 temporary pools, five dune slacks and one shallow lake) were sampled during January 1998. Forty two taxa (one ctenopoda, 19 anomopoda and 22 copepoda) are recorded. Data from the varied habitats types (temporary pools, dunary ponds, shallow lakes) are compared and biotic and abiotic factors influencing the spatial and temporal distribution of local zooplankton are discussed. The paper concludes with comments why local conservation efforts need to be directed towards temporary pools and dune slacks, two much-neglected habitats.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
