Species of the genus Moina Baird (Cladocera: Moinidae) often dominate freshwater
crustacean communities in temporary water bodies. Several species of Moina are used as …

Background Genetically divergent cryptic species are frequently detected by molecular
methods. These discoveries are often a byproduct of molecular barcoding studies in which …

The eastern Palaearctic is a centre of diversity for freshwater cladocerans (Crustacea), but
little is known about the evolution and taxonomy of this diversity. Daphnia curvirostris is a …

The biodiversity and the biogeography are still poorly understood for freshwater
invertebrates. The crustacean Chydorus sphaericus-brevilabris complex (Cladocera …

We studied the cladocerans from 15 different freshwater bodies in south-east of the Korean
Peninsula. Twenty species are first records for Korea, viz. 1. Sida ortiva Korovchinsky, 1979; …

Approximately 199 cladoceran species, 5 marine and 194 freshwater and continental
saltwater species, live in China. Of these, 89 species are discussed in this paper. They …

We examined Daphnia pulex in Japan to clarify if they were representative of indigenous
populations or colonized recently. Phylogenetic analysis of mtDNA suggests that Japanese …

The idea that hybridization promotes range expansion has received recent attention, but
support from field studies is limited. We hypothesized that in the cladoceran waterflea genus …

Recent studies of the distribution and diversity of freshwater zooplankton have indicated that
the previously understudied Eastern Palearctic region is an important biogeographic …

Pond-dwelling cyclic parthenogens are often proposed to be highly vagile. However, the
Holarctic biogeography of parthenogens has been hampered by very limited sampling in the …
