Diversity of the cladocerans (Crustacea, Branchiopoda) in the Republic of Tyva, Russian Federation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The cladoceran fauna is well studied across the Palaearctic, but remains poorly known in the Republic of Tyva, Russia. Our database represents the results of the faunistic survey of the cladocerans in this region performed during almost 30 years (1993-2022). A total of 902 sites were investigated, most of them being located in mountain areas (49°45' - 53°46' North latitude and 88°49' - 98°56' East longitude). The dataset includes the cladocerans sampled from permanent and temporary waterbodies with varying depths, altitudes and salinity levels. Sampling was conducted using plankton nets and then samples were transported to the Tuvinian Institute for Exploration of Natural Resources of the Siberian Branch of RAS for identification and further examined at the A.N. Severtso
