Paracalanidae
Paracalanidae is a family (biology), family of calanoid copepods, consisting of the following genera: *''Acrocalanus'' Giesbrecht, 1888 *''Calocalanus'' Giesbrecht, 1888 *''Bestiolina'' Andronov, 1991 *''Delibus'' Vives & Shmelava, 2007 *''Paracalanus'' Boeck, 1865 *''Parvocalanus'' Andronov, 1970 *''Pseudoparacalanus'' Robinson, 1948 ''Parvocalanus'' is one of the smallest of the calanoid genera, and ''P. crassirostris'' is thought to be the smallest described calanoid (male prosome = 0.7 mm). Two species, ''P. crassirostris'' and ''P. brevispinis'', are common. The former is a widely distributed subtropical species that feeds largely on small flagellate phytoplankton. Although a subtropical species might be expected to flourish in summer, external factors such as predation can produce anomalous patterns of abundance. For example, in Long Island Sound the species does not reach its peak of abundance until October, when the disappearance of ctenophores relieves predation p ...

Calanoida
Calanoida is an order of copepods, a group of arthropods commonly found as zooplankton. The order includes around 46 families with about 1800 species of both marine and freshwater copepods between them. Description Calanoids can be distinguished from other planktonic copepods by having first antennae at least half the length of the body and biramous second antennae. However, their most distinctive anatomical trait is the presence of a joint between the fifth and sixth body segments. The largest specimens reach long, but most do not exceed long. Classification The order Calanoida contains the following families: * Acartiidae * Aetideidae * Arctokonstantinidae * Arietellidae * Augaptilidae * Bathypontiidae * Calanidae * Candaciidae * Centropagidae * Clausocalanidae * Diaixidae * Diaptomidae * Discoidae * Epacteriscidae * Eucalanidae * Euchaetidae * Fosshageniidae * Heterorhabdidae * Hyperbionycidae * Kyphocalanidae * Lucicutiidae * Megacalanidae * Me ...
