Stygobiotic crustacean species richness: a question of numbers, a matter of scale (2010, background): “The Crustacea are mostly represented in fresh water by the Copepoda, with approximately 2,800 species (Boxshall & Defaye, 2008), the Ostracoda, with about 2,000 species (Martens et al., 2008), and the Amphipoda, with some 1,800 species (Väinölä et al., 2008).”
Diversity, ecology and evolution of groundwater copepods (2009, background): “Copepoda with 2814 described species (Boxshall & Defaye, 2008), Ostracoda with about 1936 species (Martens et al., 2008) and Amphipoda with some 1870 species (Väinölä et al., 2008) are by far the most species-rich crustacean groups.”
DNA barcodes for Cladocera and Copepoda from Mexico and Guatemala, highlights and new discoveries (2008, background): “However, most prior barcode studies on crustaceans have focused on marine species such as decapods and euphasiids (Bucklin et al. 2007; Costa et al. 2007). Among the few studies on copepods, Bucklin et al. (1999) did show the efficacy of COI divergences in separating three species of marine calanoid”
