High lability of sexual system over 250 million years of evolution in morphologically conservative tadpole shrimps [PDF]
Background Sexual system is a key factor affecting the genetic diversity, population structure, genome structure and the evolutionary potential of species.

Multiple global radiations in tadpole shrimps challenge the concept of ‘living fossils’ [PDF]
‘Living fossils’, a phrase first coined by Darwin, are defined as species with limited recent diversification and high morphological stasis over long periods of evolutionary time.

Molecular phylogeny of the Notostraca [PDF]
We used a combined analysis of one nuclear (28S rDNA) and three mitochondrial markers (COI, 12S rDNA, 16S rDNA) to infer the molecular phylogeny of the Notostraca, represented by samples from the six continents that are inhabited by this group of ...

First complete mitochondrial genome from family Moinidae, Moina macrocopa (Straus, 1820) (Cladocera; Moinidae) [PDF]
We sequenced and annotated the complete mitochondrial genome for the freshwater water flea Moina macrocopa (Straus, 1820). This is the first mitogenome for the family Moinidae. The complete mitogenome of M.

Exploring mitogenome evolution in Branchiopoda (Crustacea) lineages reveals gene order rearrangements in Cladocera [PDF]
The class Branchiopoda, whose origin dates back to Cambrian, includes ~ 1200 species which mainly occupy freshwater habitats. The phylogeny and systematics of the class have been debated for long time, until recent phylogenomic analyses allowed to better

A new molecular diagnostic tool for surveying and monitoring Triops cancriformis populations [PDF]
The tadpole shrimp, Triops cancriformis, is a freshwater crustacean listed as endangered in the UK and Europe living in ephemeral pools. Populations are threatened by habitat destruction due to land development for agriculture and increased urbanisation.

Fauna of Anostraca, Notostraca and Conchostraca of the Kharkiv region
The species composition of the fauna of Anostraca, Notostraca and Conchostraca was studied in the Kharkiv region. Streptocephalus torvicornis (Waga, 1842) was found in the Kharkiv Region for the first time and Chirocephalus shadini (Smirnov, 1928) was ...

A new calmanostracan crustacean species from the Cretaceous Yixian Formation and a simple approach for differentiating fossil tadpole shrimps and their relatives [PDF]
Background Calmanostraca is a group of branchiopod eucrustaceans, with Triops cancriformis and Lepidurus apus as most prominent representatives. Both are regularly addressed with the inaccurate tag “living fossil”, suggesting that the morphology has ...
