释义

Phyllopoda


Phyl`lop´o`da


n. pl.1.(Zool.) An order of Entomostraca including a large number of species, most of which live in fresh water. They have flattened or leaflike legs, often very numerous, which they use in swimming. Called also Branchiopoda.

Phyllopoda


Phyllopoda

 

an order of the subclass Branchiopoda, comprising the most primitive of the modern crustaceans. In contrast to branchiopods of the order Anostraca, phyllopods have a carapace or a bivalve shell that has formed from it. The compound eyes are sessile, not stalked as in the Anostraca. The Phyllopoda, like the Anostraca, comprise three suborders: the Notostraca, Conchostraca, and Cladocera. There are more than 600 widely distributed species, dwelling primarily in fresh waters. Only the Cladocera include some sea species; the Notostraca and Conchostraca inhabit spring ponds and other temporary bodies of water. Some zoologists combine the Notostraca and Conchostraca into the separate order Euphylloda and treat the Cladocera as a special order.
