Thomas A. Hegna, Ph.D<p>This seems like an easy case for uniformitarianism. Modern clam shrimp live in ephemeral freshwater bodies, ergo fossil clam shrimp indicate ephemeral bodies of freshwater.

Thomas A. Hegna, Ph.D<p>On the 24nd day of <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/Crustmas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Crustmas</span></a> my true love gave to me the tadpole shrimp, Triops cancriformis Bosc, 1801. I've been saving this lovely critter for Xmas Eve. . . <br>Many of you may know T. cancriformis (or the North American, T. longicaudatus) from little kits sold as souvenirs--where you can raise your very own 'Triassic Triops.' No, those eggs did not time travel from the Triassic.<br><a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/crustacea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>crustacea</span></a> <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/arthropoda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>arthropoda</span></a> <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/branchiopoda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>branchiopoda</span></a><br>1/7</p>
Thomas A. Hegna, Ph.D<p>On the 11th day of <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/Crustmas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Crustmas</span></a> my true love gave to me Ilyocryptus cuneatus Štifter, 1988. Picture from Kotov &amp; Elías-Gutiérrez 2009. I. cuneatus is a small anomopod cladoceran. The genus Ilyocryptus is a relatively common benthic cladoceran genus, but few people look for benthic cladocerans, so Daphnia gets all the love. <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/crustacea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>crustacea</span></a> <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/arthropoda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>arthropoda</span></a> <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/branchiopoda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>branchiopoda</span></a> <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/cladocera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cladocera</span></a><br>1/4</p>
