Abstract
The morphological characters and biology of the copepod genus Nordodiaptomus Wilson from temporary waterbodies lying in the northern part of the middle taiga belt of the Komi Republic, European Russia, are described. Specimens of the population under study are shown to demonstrate characteristics of two species common in Siberia: Nordodiaptomus skabitschewskyi (Klebanowsky) and N. siberiensis (Wilson). This seems to be due to our still insufficient knowledge of the systematics and intrapopulation ecological variability of the genus. The one-year dynamics of the Nordodiaptomus population structure are described.
