Risk reduction strategies in Branchipus schaefferi (Crustacea: Anostraca: Branchiopoda) as adaptation to a variable environment [PDF]
Mud from a temporary pool in Morocco was sequentially inundated and dried at the laboratory to follow the life history of Branchipus schaefferi. Once adult, each female was coupled to a male in order to study their life history and reproduction.

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

Daphnia as a versatile model system in ecology and evolution
Water fleas of the genus Daphnia have been a model system for hundreds of years and is among the best studied ecological model organisms to date. Daphnia are planktonic crustaceans with a cyclic parthenogenetic life-cycle.

Molecular phylogenetic analyses support the monophyly of Hexapoda and suggest the paraphyly of Entognatha [PDF]
BackgroundMolecular phylogenetic analyses have revealed that Hexapoda and Crustacea form a common clade (the Pancrustacea), which is now widely accepted among zoologists; however, the origin of Hexapoda remains unresolved.
