The Freshwater Animal variety evaluate provides a state-of-the-art overview of the range and distribution of Metazoa within the continental waters of the realm. The undertaking offers with all significant animal teams plus the macrophytes, and encompasses the entire array of terrestrial aquatic ecosystems. it's the so much accomplished research of species- and genus-level variety and chorology of the worldwide freshwater fauna to this point, and is the 1st to offer similar facts at the diverse faunal teams involved. The venture attracts from the accrued services of various world-renowned taxonomic specialists that experience bundled efforts to provide this notable quantity. the result's worthy to all scientists, managers and conservationists attracted to non-marine aquatic animals.

2003) found that for 79 of 87 comparisons, divergence times were far too recent (\30 Mya) to implicate continental drift as a major determinant of these discontinuous distributions. 5 Mya for comparisons of specimens from North America, Asia and Australia, indicating recent dispersal rather than a paleodistribution amongst these continents. In an analysis of aquatic macrophyte species and subspecies endemic to Europe and portions of North Africa bordering the Mediterranean, Cook (1983) considered that c.
