FAUNISTIC COMPLEXES OF CLADOCERA (CRUSTACEA, BRANCHIOPODA) FROM EASTERN SIBERIA AND THE RUSSIAN FAR EAST

摘要

Faunistic complexes for 155 species of Cladocera from the territory of Eastern Siberia and the Russian Far East are described. Eight faunistic complexes were found as follows: non-revised widespread species (51 species), pan-Eurasian complex (34), circum-Arctic complex (4), East Asian-American ("Beringian") complex (8), endemic East Asian complex (19), southern worm-preferring complex (12), mountain endemic complex (3), and Baikalian endemic complex (8 species). This article mainly determines directions of further studies. Modern faunistic studies in Eastern Eurasia should be carried out by experts-taxonomists in close collaboration with specialists on local faunas.
