Abstract
A new copepod species Metadiaptomus aliensis sp. nov., collected from lakes in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, is described. M. aliensis sp. nov. is differentiated by total length of both sexes, the fifth leg of both sexes, and the right antennule of the male, compared with the similar species M. asiaticus Ul'yanin, 1875 and M. chevreuxi Guerne & Richard, 1894. The low temperature species M. aliensis sp. nov. survives in a wide salinity range from fresh to polyhaline water, and a wide alkalinity range from 6.12 to 40.39 mmol/L. The first generic record of M. aliensis sp. nov. in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau contributes to our understanding of the global biogeography of the subfamily Paradiaptominae.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity (previous title was Journal of Korean Nature) is an official journal of National Science Museum of Korea (NSMK) and Korea National Arboretum (KNA). The scope of journal is wide and multidisciplinary that publishes original research papers, review articles, as well as conceptual, technical and methodological papers on all aspects of biological diversity-its description, analysis and conservation, and its application by humankind. This wide and multidisciplinary journal aims to provide both scientists and practitioners in conservation theory, policy and management with comprehensive and applicable information. However, papers should not be submitted that deal with microorganisms, except in invited paper. Articles that are focused on the social and economical aspects of biodiversity will be normally not accepted.
