Abstract


53 species of Calanoida and Cyclopoida are known on territory of the Ukrainian Carpathians from the 391 lenthic water bodies and 14 rivers according to the results of own studies and literature data. For the first time, wer investigated 341 of them. Acantho­cyclopsvernalis (Fischer, 1853), Eucyclopsserrulatus (Fischer, 1851) і Paracyclopsfimbriatus (Fischer, 1853) are the most common species in this region. Two first species were found over 1,900 m a.s.l. There are 3 species in alpine reservoirs (over 1,800 m a.s.l.) and 10 species – in subalpine reservoirs (1,500–1,800 m a.s.l.). The Macrocyclopsalbidus (Jurine, 1820), Macrocyclopsfuscus (Jurine, 1820) і Megacyclopsviridis (Jurine, 1820) were found in the majority mountains massifs and rivers basins. This species are counted as usually for the Ukrainian Carpathians. The fife species, Mixodiaptomustatricus (Wierzejski, 1883), Diacyclops cohabitatus Monchenko, 1980, Eucyclops subterraneus (Graeter 1907), Graeteriella unisetigera (Graeter 1908), Sinodiaptomus sarsi (Rylov, 1923), were found for the Ukraine only in the Carpathians mountains. The E. subterraneus, G. unisetigera and S. sarsi were found for the first time in Ukraine, and CyclopsinsignisClaus, 1857, Paracyclopsaffinis (SarsG.O., 1863) і Tropocyclopsprasinus (Fischer, 1860) – for the first time on the territory of the Ukrainian Carpathians. This mountain territory is a natural eastern area border for D. cohabitates, E. subterraneus, G. unisetigera and northern-eastern for M. tatricus. S. sarsi most likely is a new invasion species of the Ukrainian territory. Fauna of Copepoda was investigated for the biggest lakes and reservoirs; small part of ponds of the fish farms, a few beds and floodplains of the biggest rivers, lenthic water bodies some of the highlands massifs and water bodies some of the nature protected areas of the Ukrainian Carpathians during the latter 140 years. These are more less 20 % of all existing planktocoenoses numbers. The rivers hold 60 %, puddles 51 %, hypogenic waters (streams, wells, springs, moss, interstitials, caves) 45 %, other water biotopes – less 40 % each of known Calanoida and Cyclopoida species diversity in the Ukrainian Carpathians. We suggest that the noted species diversity is much higher than the real one.
