Journal ArticleDOI

The magnitude of global marine species diversity

Ward Appeltans, +125 more
- 04 Dec 2012 - 
TL;DR: The first register of the marine species of the world is compiled and it is estimated that between one-third and two-thirds of marine species may be undescribed, and previous estimates of there being well over one million marine species appear highly unlikely.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global diversity of copepods (Crustacea: Copepoda) in freshwater

TL;DR: Faunal diversity is compared between zoogeographic regions: the Palaearctic region has more than double the species richness of the next most diverse region, the Neotropical, and the greatest faunal connectivity is between PalAearctic and Nearctic regions, and identifies the Holarctic taxa.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Salmon Louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Copepoda: Caligidae) Life Cycle Has Only Two Chalimus Stages

TL;DR: It is proved that the accepted life cycle of the salmon louse is wrong: there are only two chalimus instars, and the Salmon louse life cycle has only six post-nauplius instars as in other genera of caligid sea lice and copepods in general.
Journal ArticleDOI

The evolution of arthropod limbs

TL;DR: Limb morphology across the arthropods is reviewed using external morphological and internal anatomical data from both recent and fossil arthropod data, but no major new phylogenetic inferences are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global coordination and standardisation in marine biodiversity through the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) and related databases.

TL;DR: The scale of the problems with species names, synonyms, and their classification is illustrated, and how WoRMS publishes online quality assured information on marine species is described to show increased taxonomic efficiency and quality control in marine biodiversity research and management.
