The base map is provided by OpenTopoMap’s volunteer servers.

Orders are given in parentheses to eliminate any ambiguity or non-uniqueness that branchiopod common names may have.

The term Conchostraca, which is no longer a taxonomically valid order that includes all clam shrimp species, is used here as shorthand for the orders Spinicaudata, Laevicaudata, and Cyclestherida because I can’t tell them apart.
