Two new species of the genus Metacyclops Kiefer, 1927 are described from subterranean waters of Western Australia, one from the Kimberley region and the other from the Pilbara region, which has a clear Eastern Gondwana connection and the centre of diversity in Australia.
New insights into polyphyly of the harpacticoid genus Delavalia (Crustacea, Copepoda) through morphological and molecular study of an unprecedented diversity of sympatric species in a small South…

Three new genera, each supported by molecular data and a number of morphological synapomorphies, were erected to accommodate the newly discovered species and some previously described members of Delavalia: Wellstenhelia gen. nov., Itostenheliinae gen.Nov.
A Cladistic Analysis and Taxonomic Revision of Australian Metacyclops and Goniocyclops , with Description of Four New Species and Three New Genera (Copepoda, Cyclopoida)

- Biology
- 2011
Four new small subterranean cyclopid species are described from Australia in a newly erected genus Anzcyclops, which has a number of unique features, including dorsoventrally compressed habitus, reticulated integument of prosomites, and a characterstic shape of the fifth leg.
Third genus of Parastenocaridid Copepods from Australia supported by molecular evidence (Copepoda, Harpacticoida)
- T. Karanovic, S. Cooper
- Biology
- 6 October 2011
The first ever case of two sympatric parastenocaridids in Australia, which are a rare group on this continent, is reported on, and a very strong seasonal dynamics in this subterranean community was observed, and this is a novel concept for these ecosystems globally.

- Biology, Environmental Science
- 2005
Two new species of the genus Parastenocaris Kessler, 1913 are described from Australian subterranean waters, both based upon males and females, and the present state of systematics within the family Parastsenocarididae is briefly discussed.
Cryptic Species or Inadequate Taxonomy? Implementation of 2D Geometric Morphometrics Based on Integumental Organs as Landmarks for Delimitation and Description of Copepod Taxa.

- 1 March 2016
This study investigates a subterranean species complex belonging to the harpacticoid genus Schizopera Sars, 1905 using both the barcoding mitochondrial COI gene and landmark-based two-dimensional geometric morphometrics and argues that many supposedly cryptic species might not be cryptic if researchers focus on analyzing morphological structures with multivariate tools that explicitly take into account geometry of the phenotype.
A new species of Parastenocaris from Korea, with a redescription of the closely related P. biwae from Japan (Copepoda: Harpacticoida: Parastenocarididae)

It is speculated that the present distribution of the brevipes group may be a combination of ancient vicariance and subsequent dispersal, with a possible origin in the Gondwanaland, in the rift valley between Australia and India.
