 Introduction to Maxillopoda   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
If this hypothesis is correct, it would explain the small size, shortened body plan and reduced number of appendages typically found in Maxillopoda.
Ostracods, copepods and barnacles are the most abundant and diverse groups within the Maxillopoda.
As are many groups, the classification of the Maxillopoda is controversial so here we give a generally accepted phylogeny that is subject to change as the groups are studied further.

The brine shrimp, closely related to the freshwater fairy shrimp, has reinvaded high salinity habitats in inland areas, but does not normally inhabit marine waters (except in some isolated areas where fish predators are absent).
The Maxillopoda is a large and diverse group of Crustaceans, and contains many familiar forms, as well as many other less familiar but ecologically important groups.
Although its difficult to generalize about such a diverse group, most Maxillopods are relatively small organisms, with the barnacles having the largest individuals.

 Taxonomy
This new approach was developed in 2001 but already is very popular.
It can be argued that Maxillopoda should actually be dissolved into its four subclasses, Copepoda, Thecostraca, Tantulocarida and Mystacocarida, to make nine classes of crustaceans, but it is generally kept as a whole.
It is then broken down slightly differently, changing the number of orders to 42 and families to 849.

 Kim's Kelp Bed
Pollicipes polymerus is often referred to as the gooseneck barnacle or leaf barnacle.
In Maxillopoda, members of this class feed by means of their maxillae (rather than filter feeding using thoracic appendages to move water); barnacles, however, are an exception.
Barnacles feed with thoracic appendages, but in a way that is unique among crustaceans.

 paleolab10crustaceans
A feature of the Crustaceans is the adaptation of body segmentation and appendage specialization to every conceivable aquatic environment (besides inhabiting all nonmarine aquatic environments, crustaceans hold the record for living in the highest water temperatures known for metazoans, and also inhabit deep aquifers and the cold abyssal depths of the ocean).
Because soft parts are not commonly fossilized, the shells are typically the only record we have of crustacean populations.
This is particularly the case with barnacles and ostracodes (both of class Maxillopoda).

 Welcome to Adobe GoLive 6
There are, depending on which classification you follow, approximately six major lineages or classes of extant crustaceans generally recognized, although there is considerable debate about the composition and monophyly of these lineages.
The six classes -- Branchiopoda, Cephalocarida, Maxillopoda, Remipedia, Ostracoda, and Malacostraca -- differ greatly as to the diversity within each; some classes (e.g.
Identification to class depends on the number of body somites, and their appendages, tagmatization, larval types, etc.
