Distribution map of Haloptilus longicornis by geographical zones
Species Haloptilus longicornis - Distribution map 4issued from : H.B. Owre & M. Foyo in Fauna Caribaea, 1, Crustacea, 1: Copepoda. Copepods of the Florida Current. 1967. [p.81, Table 37].
Vertical distribution of H. longicornis at the ''40-Mile station in the Florida Current (± 25°35'N, 79°27'W.
SL 53 : 18 V 1958; SL 55: 21 VII 1958; A = day; B = night.

Nota: Roehr & Moore (1965) diagrammed its average noon and midnight distribution in the upper 350 m in the Florida Straits and gave its 30 p.cent level at 175 m at midday and 184 m at night. They interpreted this as showing a downward movement at night, i.e, a reverse migration.

Collection sites for population included in the sudy of gene flow in the species Haloptilus longicornis.
Samples with n > 25 individuals (closed symbols) are included in all analyses. Samples with n < 25 individuals (open symbols) in the tropical Atlantic were included only in statistical parsimony analyses (fig.2). Collection sites are numbered as in Table 1. Hashed region indicates the apporoximate global biogeographic distribution of H. longicornis. A question mark indicated ocean region in which the species has been reported to occur, but considered uncertain.
In this study was investigated genetic connectivity among populations of this mesopelagic copepod, using the mitochondrial marker, cytochrome oxidase subunit II (mtCOII, 43 locations, N = 1059), highly significant genetic structure was detected among ocean basins, with the exception of a lack between South Atlantic and Indian Ocean populations.
Genetic breaks were also detected among subtropical gyre populations within the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans in this species.
The results indicate that the equatorial region may be poor quality habitat for this species and serve as a biophysical dispersal barrier to migrants traveling among subtropical gyre habitats.
In order to better understand contemporary dispersal patterns and the mechanism underlying this dispersal barrier in the Atlantic Ocean, the author simulated particle dispersal for 30 years using the Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA) model coupled with a particle-tracking scheme.
The results suggest that the dispersal barrier' across the equatorial region must be biophysical in nature, and that it likely prevents contemporary dispersal among subtropical gyre populations. Therefore, populations of H. longicornis in the subtropical gyres of the northern and southern Atlantic are demographically as well as genetically isolated, and may evolve independently in response to local selective pressures.

Mean cephalothorax lengths and numbers measured of females.
See in Pleuromamma abdominalis for yhe mean surface temperature and Chlorophyll a of the month preceding each measurement at Station 'S' (SE of Bermuda).
Correlation coefficients for mean length with the temperature and chlorophyll of the preceding month were calculated. No correlation was found between the lengths and either the temperature or the chlorophyll. The variations in length noted are not related to the total phytoplankton cycle or to seasonal temperature changes.

Rem.: epi-bathypelagic. Offshore.
Known to occur from the surface to below 1000 m, though the deepest records may refer to the related species. Sampling depth (Antarct.): 2000 m. Between 100-250 m at Kaikoura (New Zealand). Sargasso Sea: 0-1000 m (Deevey & Brooks, 1977, Station "S"); In vertical tow 4000-3000 m (Harding, 1974, Rem.: possible contaminant species from higher up the water column). 0-3010 m at Station T-1 (E Tori Is., E middle Japan).
Owre & Foyo (1967) report that this species shows an inverse diel migration pattern.
According to Bradford-Grieve (1999 b, p.61) the species is closely related to H. longicirrus, H. setuliger, and H. paralongicirrus. These species may be separated by their size and the shape of the anterior head and genital somite. They also appear to live at different preferred depths. For Park (1970, p.535) the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico samples contained three forms of females of Haloptilus, which having long A1, are closely related to one an other. They are separable mainly by the body size, the shape of the forehead, and the genital segment.
Timonin (1971, p.282) considers the trophic interrelations in the equatorial and tropical Indian Ocean, and divides the plankters into 6 trophic groups from the litterature and the results of studies of mouth-parts structure and intestine content. This species is a piercing and suchingg carnivorous.
Noted by Dvoretsky & Dvoretsky (2010, p.997: Table 2) in the barents Sea as rare.
After Benedetti & al. (2018, p.1, Fig.2) this species belonging to the functional group 6 corresponding to small ambush feeding omnivorous.
