Description
Abstract
Se efectúa un estudio limnológico del río Ponuga (Provincia de Veraguas, República de Panamá), con el fin de determinar la calidad
biológica a través del análisis de los invertebrados recolectados en
sus aguas. Entre el conjunto de estos organismos se encontraron
algunas esponjas de agua dulce, sus gémulas y colonias de la misma. La observación de estas gémulas bajo el microscopio electrónico de barrido (SEM) permitió la identificación de la especie Radiospongilla cerebellata (Bowerbank, 1863). Se aporta la primera
cita de la especie para Panamá, siendo, a su vez, la segunda para
el Neotrópico. Se añade el análisis físico-químicos de las aguas
del río Ponuga como contribución al conocimiento de la especie.
Las sucesivas citas de la especie en los últimos años y en distintas
zonas biogeográficas nos indicaría una distribución más amplia.
A limnological study of the Ponuga River (Province of Veraguas, Republic of Panama) is carried out in order to determine the biological quality through the analysis of invertebrates collected in its waters. Among the group of these organisms were some freshwater sponges, their gemmules and their colonies. The observation of these gemmules under the scanning electron microscope (SEM) allowed the identification of the species Radiospongilla cerebellata (Bowerbank 1863). The first record of the species for Panama is provided, being, in turn, the second for the Neotropics. Physicochemical analysis of the waters of the Ponuga River is added as a contribution to the knowledge of the species. The successive records of the species in recent years and in different biogeographical areas would indicate that its distribution could be broader.
