Boeckella palustris is a species of copepod that lives in South America. It inhabits shallow pools, including the highest body of water ever to have yielded a crustacean, at an altitude of {{convert|5930|m|abbr=on}} in the Andes. It was described independently by two scientists in 1955, using material brought back by different European expeditions to the same region.

Description

Males of B. palustris are {{convert|1.5|-|2.3|mm}} long, and females {{convert|1.9|-|2.8|mm|abbr=on}}.[2] The antennules are relatively short.[2] B. palustris can be distinguished from other members of the genus Boeckella by the form of the fifth leg in males.[2]

Distribution and ecology

Boeckella palustris has a Páramo–Punan distribution,[2] being found in southern Peru, and close to the border between Bolivia and Chile.[2] It lives in "small, shallow bodies of water", a habitat it shares with Boeckella calcaris.[2]Boeckella palustris shares the record for the crustacean living at the highest altitude with the fairy shrimp Branchinecta brushi; both were found on December 13, 1988 in the same pool at an altitude of {{convert|5930|m}} near the summit of the stratovolcano Cerro Paniri ({{coord|22.08|S|68.25|W|type:landmark}}) in the Antofagasta Region of Chile.[3] The only higher record, which claimed that Branchinecta paludosa occurred at {{convert|97000|ft}} is "almost certainly a typographical error".[3]

Taxonomy

{{Portal|Crustaceans|Arthropods}}Boeckella palustris was originally described as Pseudoboeckella palustris by John Philip Harding in 1955, using material gathered by the Percy Sladen Trust Expedition to Lake Titicaca in 1937.[4] The genus Pseudoboeckella was subsumed into Boeckella in 1992 by Ian A. E. Bayly of Monash University, Australia, as no reliable character could be found to distinguish the two.[5] The species was independently described as Pseudoboeckella peruviensis in 1955 by Heinz Löffler using material from a 1953–1954 expedition to the Andes under Hans Kinzl,[6] but Harding's description has priority, having been published on July 29, 1955, eleven weeks before Löffler's paper was read, on October 13, 1955.[5]

The species epithet palustris is Latin for "of the marsh" and indicates its common habitat.[7]
