On time and place of origin of continental calanoid families: a hypothesis
Abstract Several independent methods: molecular-genetic, biogeographical, and morphological analyses — were applied to explain the origin of the continental calanoid fauna and the distribution of their recent genera. The theory of Continental Drift and the evolution of the Tethys Sea were also used...
