“…Their body size is a product of morphological radiation in the Branchiopoda which apparently preceded adaptation to the environment of continental water bodies of "recent" type. Continental water bodies in the Palaeozoic had an appearance which was absolutely different from recent ones (Ponomarenko, 2012;Van Damme, Kotov, 2016). Subsequently, small size -a cladoceran trait since the Palaeozoic stage of their evolution -became to be very helpful for adaptation in the zone of macro-phytes, which was formed in its recent appearance only in the Caenozoic, and for survival in the plankton under a strong pressure of smallsized planktivorous fishes which were absent in Palaeozoic and earlier Mesozoic (Van Damme, .…”

“…Currently the issue remains unresolved, and its resolution will have to take into account Frey's [ 6 , 7 ] paradigm of the cladoceran biogeography, morphological stasis during the last millions of year, up to ten-fold differences in evolutionary rates between sister clades [ 104 ], as well as the possibility of decreasing mutation rates as a function of time [ 105 , 106 ]. In the end, it seems that the question can only be resolved with appropriate palaeontological records, which are, unfortunately, still far too rare for pre-Pleistocene cladocerans [ 107 ].…”

“…longispina , which at present compose the core of clade A, are the remains of the ancient fauna which were survived in some refugia during the glacial cycles. Taking into account the great age of the Cladocera [ 105 ], we could assume that several species of the D . longispina complex were widespread across whole the territory of Eurasia in pre-Pleistocene epochs.…”
