  • Distribution and habitat preferences of species within the genus Elaphoidella Chappuis, 1929 (Crustacea: Copopeda: Harpacticoia) in Slovenia
    Mori, Nataša, 1974- ; Brancelj, Anton
    Twelve species of the harpacticoid genus Elophoidella, most of them exclusively groundwater species, have been recorded in Slovenia (SE Europe). Their distribution and ecology are reviewed with the ... aim of evaluating distribution patterns, species preferences for groundwater habitats, ecological preferences and interactions with other copepod species at regionalscale. Data on Eluphoidellcr species were obtained partly from the existing literature and partly from the author's (AB) own sampling campaigns carried out together with his co-workers. During the rich history of collecting copepods in Slovenia (from the 1920s to present), Elaphoidella species were recorded at 78 sampling sites altogether. The majority of collecting was conducted in the southern (Dinaric region) and north-western (Alpine region) Slovenia. The most intensively sampled habitats were porous aquifers of alluvial plains, springs in the karstic unsaturated zone and percolation water in caves. The highest species richness of Elaphoidella was recorded in the southern Slovenia, where 10 species were found. The strictly "Dinaric" species are E. clzaron, E. franci, E. karsticu, E. stammeri, E. sp. 1 and E. sp. 2, while E. phreatica and E. bidens were found exclusively in thenorth-western Slovenia. From the latest data on the copepod distributions (2002-2004), where the environmental characteristics of sampling sites were also measured, the relationship between selected environmental characteristicsof the habitats and the presence of Elaphoidella species was analysed. The distribution of Elaphoidella species in Slovenia was found to berelated with the region, habitat type, altitude, conductivity and pH of the water.
