Bryofaunal gastrotrichs from the Cerrado: First report of Dendroichthydium cf. ibyrapora from a Neotropical Savanna
Abstract
Abstract We present here a new record of Dendroichthydium cf. ibyrapora from epiphytic moss in Brazilian Cerrado within the Reserva do Roncador IBGE Ecological Reserve. This new finding provides further morphological data under light and electron scanning microscopy, and genetic data from 18S and 28S ribosomal DNA. The Cerrado animals fit neatly to the diagnostic morphological characteristics of the original description from Brazil’s Atlantic Rainforest, but they are smaller and feature genetic distance across both biomes.Published
