This document is the result of collaborative work among colleagues from different institutions in Mexico (Universidad de Quintana Roo, Cozumel and El Colegio de la Frontera Sur, Chetumal) and the United States (University of Texcas, El Paso). This work presents the taxonomy, morphology and distribution of the free-living, freshwater copepods that inhabit ephemeral aquatic habitats in one binational reserve known as the Chihuahuan Desert. This desertic zone is part of the large North American biogeographic region called Altiplano Mexicano, which is shared by Mexico and the United States. A joing effort was made to synthesize findings about the diversity of the copepods than inhabit this peculiar geographic area, where aquatic systems are scarce and ephemeral. It includes a taxonomic and morphological assessment of 33 copepod species and contains over forty individual drawings, and 37 plates of photographs of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Inglés
