Year: 2023

Abstract Crustaceans (Crustacea) are one of the most diverse and successful groups in the biosphere, having also mastered different extreme habitats (in addition to freshwater and marine). Based on our own data and &gt;200 literary sources, the way in which the degree of environmental extremeness can limit a potential taxonomic richness of crustaceans has been analyzed using the example of hypersaline waters. It is demonstrated that, with an increase in salinity, the number of classes and orders
