Os Diplostraca (diplostracos) ou Cladocera (cladóceros[2]), xeralmente chamados pulgas de auga[2], son unha superorde de pequenos crustáceos que se alimentan de partículas diminutas de materia orgánica (hai tamén algunhas formas predadoras).[1] .[3] The part of the head which projects in front of the first antennae is known as the rostrum or "beak".[3]

The mouthparts are small, and consist of an unpaired labrum, a pair of mandibles, a pair of maxillae, and an unpaired labium.[3] They are used to eat "organic detritus of all kinds" and bacteria.[3]

The thorax bears five or six pairs of lobed, leaf-like appendages, each with numerous hairs or setae.[3] Carbon dioxide is lost, and oxygen taken up, through the body surface.[3]

Lifecycle

With the exception of a few purely asexual species, the lifecycle of diplostracans is dominated by asexual reproduction, with occasional periods of sexual reproduction; this is known as cyclical parthenogenesis.[4] When conditions are favourable, reproduction occurs by parthenogenesis for several generations, producing only female clones. As the conditions deteriorate, males are produced, and sexual reproduction occurs. This results in the production of long-lasting dormant eggs. These ephippial eggs can be transported over land by wind, and hatch when they reach favourable conditions, allowing many species to have very wide – even cosmopolitandistributions.[3]

Evolutionary history

Diplostraca are nested within the clam shrimp, being most closely related to the order Cyclestherida, the only living genus of which is Cyclestheria. Though several fossils from the Paleozoic have been claimed to represent fossils of diplostracans, none of these records can be confirmed. The oldest confirmed records of diplostracans are from the Early Jurassic of Asia. Fossils from the Jurassic are assignable to modern as well as extinct groups, indicating that the intiial radiation of the group occurred prior to the beginning of the Jurassic, likely during the late Paleozoic.[5]

Ecology

Most diplostracan species live in fresh water and other inland water bodies, with only eight species being truly oceanic.[6] The marine species are all in the family Podonidae, except for the genus Penilia.[6] Some diplostracans inhabit leaf litter.[7] -->

Taxonomía

 
Daphnia magna

Segundo o World Registry of Marine Species (WORMS), Cladocera é sinónimo do superorde Diplostraca, que está incluído na clase Branchiopoda. Ámbolos nomes están actualmente en uso. O superorde forma un grupo monofilético de 7 ordes, unhas 24 familias e máis de 11.000 especies (crese que moitas máis están aínda sen describir).[1][8] Só o xénero Daphnia xa contén máis de 150 especies.[4]

As seguintes familias están recoñecidas:[1]
