Canthocamptidae
Canthocamptidae is a family (biology), family of copepods. Most of the 700 species are confined to fresh water, although there are also marine species. It contains the following genera: *''Afrocamptus'' Chappuis, 1932 *''Antarctobiotus'' Chappuis, 1930 *''Antrocamptus'' Chappuis, 1956 *''Arcticocamptus'' Chappuis, 1928 *''Attheyella'' Brady, 1880 *''Australocamptus'' Karanovic, 2004 *''Boreolimella'' Huys & Thistle, 1989 *''Bryocamptus'' Chappuis, 1928 *''Canthocamptus'' Westwood, 1836 *''Ceuthonectes'' Chappuis, 1923 *''Cletocamptus'' Schmankevitsch 1875 *''Delachauxiella'' Brehn & Lunz, 1926 *''Echinocamptus'' Chappuis, 1929 *''Elaphoidella'' Chappuis, 1928 *''Elaphoidellopsis'' Apostolov, 1985 *''Epactophanoides'' Borutzky, 1966 *''Ferroniera'' Labbe, 1924 *''Fibulacamptus'' Hamond, 1988 *''Glaciella'' Kikuchi, 1994 *''Gulcamptus'' Miura, 1969 *''Hemimesochra'' G.

Copepod
Copepods (; meaning 'oar-feet') are a group of small crustaceans found in nearly every freshwater and saltwater habitat (ecology), habitat. Some species are planktonic (living in the water column), some are benthos, benthic (living on the sediments), several species have Parasitism, parasitic phases, and some continental species may live in limnoterrestrial habitats and other wet terrestrial places, such as swamps, under leaf fall in wet forests, bogs, springs, ephemeral ponds, puddles, damp moss, or water-filled recesses of plants (phytotelmata) such as bromeliads and pitcher plants. Many live underground in marine and freshwater caves, sinkholes, or stream beds. Copepods are sometimes used as Ecological indicator, biodiversity indicators. As with other crustaceans, copepods have a larval form. For copepods, the egg hatches into a Crustacean larvae#Nauplius, nauplius form, with a head and a tail but no true thorax or abdomen. The larva molts several times until it resembles the a ...

Cosmopolitan Distribution
In biogeography, a cosmopolitan distribution is the range of a taxon that extends across most or all of the surface of the Earth, in appropriate habitats; most cosmopolitan species are known to be highly adaptable to a range of climatic and environmental conditions, though this is not always so. Killer whales ( orcas) are among the most well-known cosmopolitan species on the planet, as they maintain several different resident and transient (migratory) populations in every major oceanic body on Earth, from the Arctic Circle to Antarctica and every coastal and open-water region in-between. Such a taxon (usually a species) is said to have a ''cosmopolitan'' distribution, or exhibit cosmopolitanism, as a species; another example, the rock dove (commonly referred to as a ' pigeon'), in addition to having been bred domestically for centuries, now occurs in most urban areas around the world. The extreme opposite of a cosmopolitan species is an endemic (native) species, or one foun ...

Harpacticoida
Harpacticoida is an Order (biology), order of copepods, in the subphylum Crustacean, Crustacea. This order comprises 463 genus, genera and about 3,000 species; its members are benthic copepods found throughout the world in the marine environment (most families) and in fresh water (essentially the Ameiridae, Parastenocarididae and the Canthocamptidae). A few of them are planktonic or live in association with other organisms. Harpacticoida represents the second-largest meiofaunal group in marine sediments, after nematodes. In Arctic and Antarctic seas, Harpacticoida are common inhabitants of sea ice. The name Harpacticoida comes from the Greek noun ''harpacticon'' (rapacious predator) and the suffix ''-oid'' (akin to) and means ''reminiscent of a predator'' . Harpacticoids are distinguished from other copepods by the presence of only a very short pair of first antenna (biology), antennae. The second pair of antennae are biramous, and the major joint within the body is located betwee ...
