First evidence of underwater sounds emitted by the living fossils Lepidurus lubbocki and Triops cancriformis (Branchiopoda: Notostraca)

open access: yes, 2021
Sound is the most effective means of communication in marine and freshwater ecosystems. However, no data about acoustic emissions from non-malacostracan crustaceans are currently available, so their ability to produce sounds is unknown.

Raman spectroscopic analysis of the composition of the clam-shrimp carapace (Branchiopoda: Laevicaudata, Spinicaudata, Cyclestherida): a dual calcium phosphate-calcium carbonate composition

open access: yesJournal of Crustacean Biology, 2020
Clam shrimps constitute a paraphyletic group of bivalved branchiopod crustaceans that includes orders Laevicaudata, Spinicaudata, and Cyclestherida. The unique mineral content of the carapace, formed by molt retention in Spinicaudata and Cyclestherida,

Fairy Shrimp (Branchiopoda: Anostraca) of Chile [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Crustacean Biology, 2008
Abstract Portions of Chile were surveyed for Anostraca. Including the two species of Artemia previously reported from Chile, we found 5 new localities and range extensions for 5 species of Branchinecta. Previous studies on Chilean Anostraca have focused on Artemia, and although Branchinecta was previously reported in Antarctica close to Chilean Air ...

SEM morphological analysis of fertilized cysts in the genus Branchipus (Branchiopoda, Anostraca): Can cyst morphology be used as a reliable taxonomic criterion? [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Biological Sciences, 2009
In order to illuminate taxonomic significance of cyst variability (as a part of total morphological variability) in the genus Branchipus, cysts (fertilized eggs) originating from southern parts of the Pannonian Plain are described on the basis of ...

Rediscovery of Branchipus schaefferi (Branchiopoda: Anostraca) in Belgium - notes on habitat requirements and conservation management

open access: yesBelgian Journal of Zoology
Fairy shrimps (Crustacea, Anostraca) are specialized inhabitants of inland water bodies that periodically dry or freeze over. Here we report the first observation since 1997 of a member of this basal crustacean order in Belgium and the first sighting of
