摘要

Supawadee Chullasorn, Hans-Uwe Dahms, Kyun-Woo Lee, Jang-Seu Ki, Nikolaos Schizas, Pawana Kangtia, Heum Gi Park, and Jae-Seong Lee (2011) Description of Tisbe alaskensis sp. nov. (Crustacea: Copepoda) combining structural and molecular information. Zoological Studies 50(1): 103-117. The purpose of this paper is to provide a species description of Tisbe alaskensis sp. nov. that combines a visual description with molecular identification that allows a meaningful characterization. Morphological details of this species are described from laboratory stocks raised from individuals collected in the harbor at Juneau, Alaska. The description revealed the following morphological autapomorphic characters: the spiniform outer seta of P1 endopod-3 bears short but stiff spinules along the outer border and an oblique spinule row at the outer corner; the middle spiniform seta carries a tuft of spinules at the outer tip; and there are some spinules scattered on the anterior surface of the female P5 exopod, but no ornamentation on the male P5 exopod. In addition, we determined the 18S ribosomal DNA sequence of T. alaskensis sp. nov. and compared it against publicly available sequences. http://zoolstud.sinica.edu.tw/Journals/50.1/103.Pdf
