Toward a global phylogeny of the "living fossil" crustacean order of the Notostraca. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Tadpole shrimp (Crustacea, Notostraca) are iconic inhabitants of temporary aquatic habitats worldwide. Often cited as prime examples of evolutionary stasis, surviving representatives closely resemble fossils older than 200 mya, suggestive of an ancient ...

Fauna of Anostraca, Notostraca and Conchostraca of the Kharkiv region
Vìsnik Dnìpropetrovsʹkogo Unìversitetu: Serìâ Bìologìâ, Ekologìâ, 2012 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 ...

First complete mitochondrial genome from family Moinidae, Moina macrocopa (Straus, 1820) (Cladocera; Moinidae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022 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]
Scientific Reports, 2022 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

The complete mitogenome of Leptestheria brevirostris Barnard, 1924, a rock pool clam shrimp (Branchiopoda: Spinicaudata) from Central District, Botswana [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021 Spinicaudatan clam shrimp are a widespread and diverse group of branchiopod crustaceans, yet few mitochondrial genomes have been published for this taxonomic group.

A new calmanostracan crustacean species from the Cretaceous Yixian Formation and a simple approach for differentiating fossil tadpole shrimps and their relatives [PDF]
Zoological Letters, 2019 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 ...

Climate-related drivers of nutrient inputs and food web structure in shallow Arctic lake ecosystems [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 In order to predict the effects of climate change on polar ecosystems, disentangling mechanisms of nutrient transfer in food webs is crucial. We investigated sources of nutrients in tundra lakes, tracing their transfer through the food web and relating ...

Multiple global radiations in tadpole shrimps challenge the concept of ‘living fossils’ [PDF]
PeerJ, 2013 ‘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.

EVOLUTION IN THE NOTOSTRACA [PDF]
Evolution; International Journal of Organic Evolution, 1955 The Notostraca are phyllopod Crustacea in which the carapace is shield-shaped and covers the anterior part of the body; together with other phyllopods, they are considered to be relatively unevolved Crustacea-there is a high, but irregular, number of appendages (forty to sixty pairs are usual) and the segmentation of the body is anameristic.
