Cladocera is a primarily-freshwater monophyletic group, an important component of the microcrustacean zooplankton. They inhabit most types of continental fresh and saline water habitats, occurring more abundantly in both temporary and permanent stagnant waters. Cladocera is an ancient group of Palaeozoic origin. About 620 species are currently known, but we estimate that the real number of species is 2–4 times higher. A number of currently-recognised widespread species can be expected to…

Freshwater Cladocera (Crustacea, Branchiopoda) in Lake Tonle Sap and its adjacent waters in Cambodia
TLDR
The present cladoceran fauna is characterized by having rich epiphytic and benthic forms and can be associated with the shallow and vegetation-rich habitats of the study sites.
New Records of Cladocera (Crustacea: Anomopoda) from Laguna Navío Quebrado, La Guajira Department, Colombia
TLDR
This paper reports seventeen species of the Cladocera from Laguna de Navio Quebrado, all of them new records for La Guajira Department, Colombia, and serves as the first compilation of the data on the ClAdocera of this region.
Checklist of the freshwater Cladocera (Crustacea: Branchiopoda) of South Korea
TLDR
An annotated checklist of the taxa of Cladocera (Crustacea: Branchiopoda) from inland aquatic habitats of South Korea is presented, which contains 85 valid species grouped into three orders, nine families, and 36 genera.
Diversity of freshwater Cladoceran species (Crustacea: Branchiopoda) in South Korea
TLDR
Investigation of cladoceran fauna from 71 study areas in South Korea found coexistence of cladOCeran species in northern and southern areas was observed, implying possible faunistic complexes ofcladocera in various areas of South Korea.
Cladoceran Diversity, Distribution and Ecological Significance
TLDR
Cladocerans invariably constitute a dominant component of limnological and zooplankton systems and constitute one of the major natural food sources for the fishes, especially fry and fingerlings.
An annotated checklist of the Cladocera (Crustacea: Branchiopoda) from India.
TLDR
An updated checklist, with taxonomical updates and comments for all taxa recorded since the start of research of this group in the country since 1860, lists a total of 137 valid taxa, of which most records belong to species groups that need revision worldwide.
Cladocerans (Crustacea, Anomopoda and Ctenopoda) from Cerrado of Central Brazil: Inventory of phytophilous community in natural wetlands
The aim of this study was to inventory the cladoceran fauna in wetlands located in two large areas that protect fragments of Cerrado. Located in the Brasilia National Park-DF and Campo de Instrucao…
Diversity and Abundance of Cladoceran Zooplankton in Wular Lake, Kashmir Himalaya
TLDR
Investigations revealed that Chydoridae was numerically dominant, being represented by nine species, followed by Daphnidae with seven species, Bosminidae, Moinidae and Sididae with two species each and Macrothricidae with only one species.
New finding of Mesozoic ephippia of the Anomopoda (Crustacea: Cladocera)
TLDR
The finding of anomopod ephippia of three different types in the locality Khutel‐Khara, Mongolia demonstrates once more that the idea of rarity of cladocerans in Mesozoic fossils was motivated by insufficient attention of carcinologists to such fossils.
New records of two cladoceran species (Branchiopoda: Anomopoda) from Northeastern Brazil: the importance of studies in temporary ponds
TLDR
During a faunistic survey in temporary ponds under the influence of riparian vegetation, in the Camucim Forest Protected Area, Pernambuco Endemism Center, Brazil, the cladocerans Moina dumonti Kotov, Elias-Gutierrez and Granado-Ramirez, 2005 and Chydorus nitidulus were found, their first records in the Oriental Northeast Atlantic hydrographic region.

How many species of Cladocera are there?
TLDR
The largest number of valid species is known from Europe, North America, Australia and South America, and the smallest number from Africa, while presence of large number of vague species of Cladocera negatively affects faunistic, zoogeographic, and ecological studies of continental waters.
Invasion of the exotic cladoceran Daphnia lumholtzi into North American reservoirs
TLDR
Analysis of quantitative zooplankton samples from two reservoirs over a 7-year period indicated that D. lumholtzi first reached detectable densities in 1990 and persisted during 1991–1993, and appears to be capable of colonizing most reservoirs in the southern regions of North America.
The Cladocera (Crustacea: Branchiopoda) as a relict group
TLDR
The extant Cladocera is revealed as a relict group, whose taxa were widely distributed in the past and resulted in mass extinction of their biotas while the warm temperate – subtropical regions remained comparatively unchanged.
Morphology and the classification of the so-called Cladocera
The validity as a monophyletic taxon of the group of branchiopod crustaceans long regarded as constituting the Cladocera is questioned. This seems in fact to be a heterogeneous assemblage whose…
Phylogeny, evolution and classification of the Branchiopoda (Crustacea)
TLDR
A cladistic analysis of all branchiopod groups, using a total of 42 morphological characters, shows that the circumtropical Cyclesteria hislopi is the sole representative of a new conchostracan order, the Cyclestherida.
Mesozoic Anomopoda (Crustacea) from Mongolia
TLDR
Material from the Early Cretaceous age collected 6 km west of the Hotont Somon (Mongolia) includes numerous impressions of Anomopoda that demonstrate that the prochydorid-type of organization is geologically ancient.
The evolutionary history of the Chydoridae (Crustacea: Cladocera)
TLDR
This study examines the phylogenetic history of 37 chydorid species using sequence variation in two mitochondrial genes, COI and 16S r DNA, and one nuclear gene, 18S rDNA to suggest that they originated somewhere in the mid-Palaeozoic.
Evolutionary and ecological consequences of interspecific hybridization in cladocerans
The evolutionary process of interspecific hybridization in cladocerans is reviewed based on ecological and population genetic data. The evolutionary consequences of hybridization, biogeographic…
How many branchiopod crustacean species are there? Quantifying the components of underestimation
TLDR
A proper understanding of species boundaries in nature is key in accurately estimating species richness for invertebrate groups, and it is suggested that while many species remain to be described, numbers of presently described species are still useful for macroevolutionary studies of diversification when interpreted with caution.
The systematics of Holarctic bosminids and a revision that reconciles molecular and morphological evolution
TLDR
The nuclear and mitochondrial genetic results revealed a robust phylogeny and were congruent with morphological changes that provide an evolutionary framework with diagnostic genetic and morphologic characters for studies of bosminid paleolimnology and paleogenetics.
