Description


This is the first volume that FAUNA IBÉRICA dedicates exclusively to the revision of the class Copepoda in the Iberian-Balearic region. The monograph opens with an introduction on the changes suffered by the systematics of these crustaceans over the past, and then discusses the orders, superfamilies and families that are currently accepted. It continues by considering the general features of the external morphology and anatomy of the adult, the natural history of marine copepods, and collection, conservation and analysis procedures before addressing the work’s main focus, the systematics of the order Calanoida. Included are the order’s 33 families, with diagnoses and descriptions of its 111 genera and most significant morphological characteristics of the 520 species it comprises with the corresponding figures. After establishing its world distribution and that corresponding to the Iberian-Balearic region, the issue closes with comments on the order’s biology. Provided are identification keys for its families, genera and species, along with a meticulous review of the scientific nomenclature (list of synonyms and current combinations) and the updated bibliography used in this monograph.
