picture info	Branchiopod Branchiopoda, from Ancient Greek βράγχια (''bránkhia''), meaning "gill", and πούς (''poús''), meaning "foot", is a class of crustaceans. It comprises fairy shrimp, clam shrimp, Diplostraca (or Cladocera), Notostraca, the Devonian ''Lepidocaris'' and possibly the Cambrian '' Rehbachiella''. They are mostly small, freshwater animals that feed on plankton and detritus. Description Members of the Branchiopoda are unified by the presence of gills on many of the animals' appendages, including some of the mouthparts. This is also responsible for the name of the group (from the , gills, akin to , windpipe; , foot). They generally possess compound eyes and a carapace, which may be a shell of two valves enclosing the trunk (as in most Cladocera), broad and shallow (as in the Notostraca), or entirely absent (as in the Anostraca). In the groups where the carapace prevents the use of the trunk limbs for swimming (Cladocera and clam shrimp), the antennae are used for locomoti ...

	Limnadiidae Limnadiidae is a family of crustaceans in the order Spinicaudata that live in seasonal wetlands, inland saline pools and lakes. They are found on all the world's continents except Antarctica Antarctica () is Earth's southernmost and least-populated continent. Situated almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle and surrounded by the Southern Ocean (also known as the Antarctic Ocean), it contains the geographic South Pole. ..., and are distinguished from other families in the same order by the fact that the cephalic fornicies do not extend forwards. The family contains eight extant genera: '' Afrolimnadia'' Rogers ''et al.'', 2012 '' Calalimnadia'' Rabet & Rogers, 2012 '' Eulimnadia'' Packard, 1874 '' Imnadia'' Hertzog, 1935 '' Limnadia'' Brongniart, 1820 '' Limnadopsis'' Spencer & Hall, 1896 '' Metalimnadia'' Mattox, 1952 '' Paralimnadia'' Sars, 1896 References Spinicaudata Crustacean families {{branchiopoda-stub ...

	Spinicaudata Clam shrimp are a group of bivalved branchiopod crustaceans that resemble the unrelated bivalved molluscs. They are extant and also known from the fossil record, from at least the Devonian period and perhaps before. They were originally classified in the former order Conchostraca, which later proved to be paraphyletic, because water fleas are nested within clam shrimps. Clam shrimp are now divided into three orders, Cyclestherida, Laevicaudata, and Spinicaudata, in addition to the fossil family Leaiidae. Characteristics Both valves of the shell are held together by a strong closing muscle. The animals react to danger by contracting the muscle, so that the valves close tightly and the crustacean, as if dead, lies motionlessly at the bottom of the pool. In most species the head is dorsoventrally compressed. The sessile compound eyes are close together and located on the forehead; in the genus ''Cyclestheria'' they are truly fused. In front of them is a simple naupliar eye. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
