Identification of ancient Cladocera-like fossils requires homologies: The Jurassic Kuqaia is not a Waterflea
Original language description
Fossils require a rigorous process of taxonomical assignment, including a detailed examination of homologies and (syn)apomorphies. However, not all fossils can be identified and forcing enigmatic fossils into an unrelated lineage leads to confusion. A well-founded identification of fossils based on homologies is vital to improve our knowledge of key evolutionary events in the Cladocera (Crustacea: Branchiopoda), and it is important for calibrating molecular clocks in phylogenies. A recent revision of the scant fossil record of this group indicated that several early fossils cannot be attributed to waterfleas (Cladocera).
