Bryocyclops
''Bryocyclops'' is a genus of freshwater-dwelling cyclopoid copepods. The epithet ''Bryo-'' for Bryophyta (Mosses) refers to the fact that the first few species were described from mosses. Distribution Species belonging to this genus are distributed in all major biogeographic realms except Antarctica, although there are only a handful of species from the Nearctic (''B. muscicola'') and Neotropical realm (''B. campaneri'' and ''B. rochi)'.'' Researchers suspect that with increasing sampling efforts, more species will be discovered from these regions. Apart from continental habitats, some species occur on the oceanic islands of Guam, Fiji Fiji ( , ,; fj, Viti, ; Fiji Hindi: फ़िजी, ''Fijī''), officially the Republic of Fiji, is an island country in Melanesia, part of Oceania in the South Pacific Ocean. It lies about north-northeast of New Zealand. Fiji consists ..., Tonga, Samoa and Christmas Island. In recent years, five new species have been descri ...

Cyclops (genus)
''Cyclops'' is one of the most common genera of freshwater copepods, comprising over 400 species. Together with other similar-sized non-copepod fresh-water crustaceans, especially cladocera, they are commonly called ''water fleas''. The name ''Cyclops'' comes from the Cyclops of Greek mythology, as they have a single large eye; in ''Cyclops'', the eye may be either red or black. Anatomy ''Cyclops'' individuals may range from ½–5 mm long and are clearly divided into two sections. The broadly oval front section comprises the head and the first five thoracic segments. The hind part is considerably slimmer and is made up of the sixth thoracic segment and the four legless pleonic segments. Two caudal appendages project from the rear. Although they may be difficult to observe, ''Cyclops'' has 5 pairs of legs. The long first antennae, 2 in number, are used by the males for gripping the females during mating. Afterwards, the female carries the eggs in two small sacs ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cyclops Bicuspidatus
''Cyclops bicuspidatus'' is a planktonic species of copepod found throughout the world, except Australia, and characteristic of the Great Lakes of North America. It is a deep water species found throughout the year with peak abundance occurring in May or June. Males grow up to long, while females are larger at . Distribution and classification ''C. bicuspidatus'' has a cosmopolitan distribution, although several of its subspecies are more restricted, possibly representing cryptic species. For example, most specimens from North America can be ascribed to ''C. b. thomasi'' (= ''Diacyclops thomasi''), while ''C. b. limnoria'' is restricted to Lake Constance. Taxonomy within the group is uncertain, and some subspecies may even belong to different genera. Ecology In the Great Lakes, ''C. bicuspidatus'' is herbivorous until the fourth instar and omnivorous thereafter. Its prey includes ciliates, rotifers, small cladocera, young copepods and fish larvae. In turn, ''C. bicuspidatus ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cyclopoida
The Cyclopoida are an order of small crustaceans from the subclass Copepoda. Like many other copepods, members of Cyclopoida are small, planktonic animals living both in the sea and in freshwater habitats. They are capable of rapid movement. Their larval development is metamorphic, and the embryos are carried in paired or single sacs attached to first abdominal somite. Distinguishing features Cyclopoids are distinguished from other copepods by having first antennae shorter than the length of the head and thorax, and uniramous second antennae. The main joint lies between the fourth and fifth segments of the body. Taxonomy Cyclopoida contains 30 families: * Archinotodelphyidae Lang, 1949 * Ascidicolidae Thorell, 1859 * Botryllophilidae Sars G.O., 1921 * Buproridae Thorell, 1859 * Chitonophilidae Avdeev & Sirenko, 1991 * Chordeumiidae Boxshall, 1988 * Corallovexiidae Stock, 1975 * Cucumaricolidae Bouligand & Delamare-Deboutteville, 1959 * Cyclopettidae Martínez Arbiz ...
