New source processing - Borza Péter Magyarország felszíni vízi és félszárazföldi erszényes rákjainak (Crustacea - Peracarida) határozója
During the processing of the source "Borza Péter Magyarország felszíni vízi és félszárazföldi erszényes rákjainak (Crustacea - Peracarida) határozója", we expanded the Hungarian arthropod species list with new species.
Borza Péter's work 'Magyarország felszíni vízi és félszárazföldi erszényes rákjainak (Crustacea: Peracarida) határozója' has been published.
The publication is available online, free of charge. https://ecolres.hun-ren.hu/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Borza_Peracarida_elektronikus_2025.pdf
Author's recommendation: Peracarids - represented in Hungary by amphipods, isopods, and mysids - are not outstanding in terms of species number, but are often a dominant group in terms of biomass in the macroscopic invertebrate communities of Hungarian waters. Their ecological role is accordingly extremely significant in large rivers and lakes, as well as in streams and marshes. The number of known species in the group has increased significantly in recent decades, partly due to the appearance of new invasive species, and partly due to a more accurate understanding of previously present species. These changes made it necessary to create an identification guide that presents the group uniformly and up-to-date. The book is primarily intended to help the work of professionals who perform species-level identification in the framework of scientific research or biological water quality monitoring, but I also recommend it to nature enthusiasts, who can get to know this interesting and spectacular group of organisms with its help.
