Lakes and ponds are scattered on Earth's surface as islands in the ocean. The organisms
inhabiting these ecosystems have thus developed strategies to pass the barrier represented …

In this checklist, we number the named anostracan fauna of the world at 258 species and
seven subspecies organized in 21 genera. The list contains all species described through …

Many invertebrates inhabiting insular aquatic habitats rely on external agents or vectors to
disperse. Besides water connections and wind, waterfowl and amphibians are known to …

Abstract The 'Large Branchiopod'fauna of Europe consists of 72 species and sub-species:
50 anostracans, 8 notostracans, 12 spinicaudatans, and 2 laevicaudatans. Their …

Several human activities, such as actions for nature conservation, research and recreational
activities, are closely associated with inland aquatic habitats that are usually considered as …

The Spinicaudata (spiny clam shrimp) are a large group of freshwater, bivalved branchiopod
crustaceans in need of taxonomic revision. Herein, the extant Spinicaudata families and …

Branchiopod crustaceans are represented by fairy, tadpole, and clam shrimps (Anostraca,
Notostraca, Laevicaudata, Spinicaudata), which typically inhabit temporary freshwater …

The extant genera of the spinicaudatan clam shrimp family Limnadiidae are revised using
morphological criteria built on previously published molecular analyses. The combined …

Crustaceans are a morphologically, physiologically, and ecologically highly diverse animal
group and correspondingly diverse are their reproductive characteristics. They have evolved …

Trade-offs play a crucial role in the evolution of life-history strategies of extant organisms by
shaping traits such as growth pattern, reproductive investment, and lifespan. One important …
