On the origin and evolution of Antarctic Peracarida (Crustacea, Malacostraca)
The early separation of Gondwana and the subsequent isolation of Antarctica caused a long evolutionary history of its fauna. Both, long environmental stability over millions of years and habitat heterogeneity, due to an abundance of sessile suspension ...

Phylogenetic Position of Arctotanais in the Suborder Tanaidomorpha (Peracarida: Tanaidacea) [PDF]
Lack of an ischium on pereiopods 1-6 was previously considered a synapomorphy for the tanaidacean superfamily Tanaoidea, although descriptions of Arctotanais alascensis (Richardson, 1899), the sole species in Arctotanais, indicated presence or absence of the ischium. To resolve this ambiguity, we examined newly collected specimens of A.

Longitudinal distributional patterns of Peracarida (Crustacea, Malacostraca) in the River Danube [PDF]
The River Danube plays a central role in the spread of Ponto-Caspian species as a part of the so-called southern invasion corridor (Danube-Main-Rhine system); therefore, changes in its peracarid fauna (comprising the bulk of invasives) merit special attention.
