With about 500 known species worldwide, the large brachiopods are a relatively small group
of primitive crustaceans. With few exceptions they live in temporary aquatic systems that are …

In this review, we include rotifers, copepods, and cladocerans, including other groups not
usually deemed as zooplankters: ie, protists, acari, and large branchiopods. The objectives …

We review the current knowledge surrounding the Triops granarius morphological species
group globally, and present a revision of the southern African T. granarius forms based on …

Tadpole shrimp (Crustacea, Notostraca) are iconic inhabitants of temporary aquatic habitats
worldwide. Often cited as prime examples of evolutionary stasis, surviving representatives …

We investigated the phylogenetic relationships among the three presently recognized
subspecies of the tadpole shrimp, Triops cancriformis, using mitochondrial 16S and 12S …

In Australia's arid and semi-arid zone, most aquatic habitats are nonpermanent. Although
approximately 70% of its land surface belongs to these zones, very little is known of the …

Background Sexual system is a key factor affecting the genetic diversity, population
structure, genome structure and the evolutionary potential of species. The sexual system …

We used three ribosomal DNA markers to investigate the genetic divergence of Triops
granarius (Lucas, 1864) populations from Tunisia, Namibia and Japan. The comparison of …
