  2. Copepod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copepod

    Free-living copepods of the orders Calanoida, Cyclopoida, and Harpacticoida typically have a short, cylindrical body, with a rounded or beaked head, although considerable variation exists in this pattern. The head is fused with the first one or two thoracic segments, while the remainder of the thorax has three to five segments, each with limbs.

  4. Ergasilidae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergasilidae

    Immature instars and mature males of Ergasilidae are fairly typical free-living planktonic copepods. The mature females also can swim competently and at least one species, Ergasilus chautauquaensis, is not known to be parasitic at all. [3]

  5. Ergasilus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergasilus

    Ergasilus is a genus of copepod crustaceans occurring in both the ocean and fresh water, often called gill lice. The females are parasitic upon the gills of fishes. Being copepods, gill lice have a single median eye on their head. The second antennae are modified into prehensile pincers. Male gill lice are free-living. [2] Species include: [1]

  6. Tigriopus brevicornis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tigriopus_brevicornis

    Tigriopus brevicornis is a coastal marine copepod. [1] They are a dominant member of shallow supra tidal rock pools along the North Western European coastline. A broad range of studies have been carried out on this species, including: its ecology, physiology, phylogeography, metapopulation genetics, development and reproductive behaviour.

  7. Tigriopus californicus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tigriopus_californicus

    It is observed that the Southern California populations are able to handle higher temperatures than those living further north. [6] This pattern of higher thermal tolerance in southern populations mirrors the temperature variation seen in copepod pools of southern populations experiencing more extreme high temperatures (over 40 °C or 104 °F ...

  8. Mesocyclops longisetus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesocyclops_longisetus

    Like other copepods in the order Cyclopoida, these are small, planktonic, free-living animals.They are distinguished from closely related groups by having the first antenna shorter than the combined length of the head and thorax, the second antenna being unbranched. [3]

  9. Monstrillidae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monstrillidae

    Monstrilloida is an order of copepods with a cosmopolitan distribution in the world's oceans. The order contains a single family, Monstrillidae. [2] The name of the first ever described genus Monstrilla is derived from Latin, meaning "tiny monster", because the lack of usual diagnostic features of copepods puzzled early taxonomists.
