Distribution map of Mecynocera clausi by geographical zones

Probability of occurrence of Mecynocera clausi in different environments.
T: Tropical waters (above 36.00 p.1000 salinity and above 20°C temperature); SST: Surface subtropical waters (salinity around 36 p.1000 and temperature 18°C or less); DST: Deeper shelf waters (salinity between 34 and 36, temperature under 20°C p.1000); SS: Surface shelf waters (same salinity and temperature above 20°C);
C: coastal waters with low salinity and variable temperature.
In each column no shading means no probability of finding the species in the samples from this environment; horizontal shading indicates the probability of finding the sepecies in percentages less than one in samples from this environment; cross shading indicates the probability of finding it in percentages higher than one and black shading represents the probability of finding it in the largest percentages of the total number of copepods.
For Björnberg (1963, p.24) this species was present in nearly all samples of the most saline and warm waters off Brazil; it is a surface copepod, because it did not occur in the samples collected in deep layers and its environmental optimum lies in cooler temperatures between 18 and 10°C. |

Epipelagic, (2000 m: off Malta). Sargasso Sea: 0-500 m.
Sampling depth (sub-Antarct.) : 0-600 m.
The male would be described correctly for the first time by Corral Estrada (1970) and Andronov (1970, 1973). The drawings of male by Chen & Zhang (1965, Pl.8, figs.7-8) are very doubtful.
For Andronov (1970, p.985) a comparison of the 5th copepodite stage of males M. clausi with males and females Dolichocera tenuis (= Calocalanus tenuis) suggests that these two species are synonyms. An advisability of the genus Calocalanus division into three genera and their isolation as an independant family is doubtful. It is suggested to include into the family Paracalanidae the genera Calocalanus and Mecynocera. In 1973, the author erected the monotypic family Mecynoceridae based on the presence of the dorsal cephalic hump on the cephalothorax of the male, the reduced setation of both rami of legs P2 to P4, and the location of the male genital aperture on the right side.
For Bradford-Grieve (2008, pp.59-63) this species is transferred to the Paracalnidae on the basis of the form of the exopod of the male A2 and Mxp; details of the setation of the mouthparts and swimming legs and segmentation of the female urosome.
After Lapernat & Razouls (2002, p.19) the Itoh's index value = 746.2 (number of teeth: 11) on the right Md, and 799.6 on the left Md (number of teeth: 10).
After Ehrhardt (1967, p.888, 893) the species is found in the southwest Tyrrhenian Sea in water salinity between 37.21-38.23 p.1000 (mainly between 37.77- 37.91) and for the Oxygen between 3.44-6.00 cm3/l (mainly between 4.84-5.55).
After Moraitou-Apostolopoulou (1985 p.315), this species which is abundant throught the Mediterranean Sea, is found in restricted numbers in the north basin of the Aegean Sea.
After Benedetti & al. (2018, p.1, Fig.2) this species belonging to the functional group 7 corresponding to small filter feeding herbivorous.
