Diplostraca - Wikipedia
The Diplostraca or Cladocera, commonly known as water fleas, is a superorder of small, mostly freshwater crustaceans, most of which feed on microscopic chunks of organic matter, though some forms are predatory.
Cladocera - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
The Cladocera are a group of microcrustaceans (Phylum Arthropoda), comprising four known Orders: the Anomopoda, Ctenopoda, Haplopoda and Onychopoda. Most species occupy a body size range of 0.2–6 mm.
Cladocera - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Cladocera are a diverse group of small crustaceans common in aquatic habitats, ranging from shallow temporary ponds to deep lakes and large rivers. Some groups (e.g., Podonidae) are widespread in the oceans.

Cladocera - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cladocera is an order of small crustaceans commonly called water fleas. Around 620 species have been recognised so far, with many more undescribed. [1] They are everywhere in inland aquatic habitats, but rare in the oceans. [2] Most are 0.2–6.0 mm (0.01–0.24 in) long, with a down-turned head, and a carapace covering the thorax and abdomen. [3]

2016年7月21日 · Cladocera is a group of planktonic, phythophilic, and benthic species. They form the plankton community as algae grazers (filtrators) and predators (raptors). They also live on the bottom sediments (as benthic species) or on the surface of …
Unraveling the origin of Cladocera by identifying heterochrony in …
One of the most interesting riddles within crustaceans is the origin of Cladocera (water fleas). Cladocerans are morphologically diverse and in terms of size and body segmentation differ considerably from other branchiopod taxa (Anostraca, Notostraca, Laevicaudata, Spinicaudata and Cyclestherida).
Introduction to Cladocera - Nobanis
Cladocerans have a large, sessile compound eye formed by the fusion of paired eyes. The eye is capable of rotating in different directions. Typical cladocerans have 5-6 pairs of "trunk" appendages, and their bodies are not divided into a separate thorax and abdomen.

Cladocera is an ancient group within Branchiopoda which occupies inland waters since the Palaeozoic (Kotov and Korovchinsky 2006, Van Damme and Kotov 2016), although a small number of extant species dwell in marine ecosystems (Van Damme et al. 2022).
