Distribution and status of the large Branchiopoda (Crustacea) in Corsica, France (original) (raw)

2006 First International Symposium on Environment Identities and Mediterranean Area, 2006

Abstract

ABSTRACT Knowledge of the Branchiopoda of Corsica is limited. Their distribution is updated, on the basis of eight years of investigations on 20 ponds. To date, three species of Anostraca and one species of Notostraca have been reported (Tanymastix stagnalis, Chirocephalus salinus, Branchipus schaefferi and Triops cancriformis cancriformis). B. schaefferi (recorded for the first time in Corsica) occurs in a single locality, C. salinus and T. cancriformis cancriformis are limited to restricted distributions, while T. stagnalis is common in temporary ponds of Corsica. Their status is assessed according to IUCN Red List criteria. Temporary habitats are endangered by human activities and require a proper conservation management.
