{"pk":39804,"title":"An updated checklist and biogeography of the Sardinian large branchiopods, with a focus on Spinicaudata (Crustacea, Branchiopoda)","subtitle":null,"abstract":"The large branchiopod fauna of Sardinia is reviewed based both on literature and newly collected data. Based on the available evidence, 13 taxa are present on the island (8 Anostraca, 2 Notostraca, and 3 Spinicaudata). Among them, the finding of the spinicaudatan \nLeptestheria dahalacensis\n is new for Sardinia, while the spinicaudatans \nCyzicus bucheti \nand \nEulimnadia \nsp. were overlooked in the most recent synopses on the fauna of the island due to misidentifications. Conversely, \nCyzicus tetracerus\n and \nLimnadia lenticularis\n, previously erroneously reported based on misidentifications, must be excluded from the fauna of Sardinia. The finding of \nEulimnadia\n sp. is the first record in Europe and the northernmost record of the genus. The occurrence of \nLeptestheria dahalacensis\n in Sardinia is rather unexpected and probably due to its accidental introduction linked with rice cultures. At least four of the 13 Sardinian large branchiopod species are absent from the Italian mainland and Sicily, stressing the uniqueness of its fauna and its significant contribution to the Mediterranean inland water crustacean diversity.","language":"en","license":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0","short_name":"CC BY 4.0","text":"Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.
