The study authors argue that the fossil supports the belief that branchiopod brains evolved from complex organisms into simpler ones. |
The two-part, hinged carapace encloses the entire body, similar to the branchiopod Conchostraca. |
The branchiopod brain consists of two connected parts with a third mass of tissue sitting behind the stomach. |
In short, she was a branchiopod, to be vulgarly precise, a water-flea. |
A number of algal species live epizootically on the branchiopod crustaceans found in temporary ponds. |
This occurs within the branchiopod order Anomopoda, as in Daphnia, in most isopods and amphipods, and in some decapods, including freshwater crabs and crayfish and some deep-sea and Arctic groups. |
