title: Salinity as a Factor Limiting the Crustacean Potential Taxonomic Richness in the World’s Hypersaline Water Ecosystems: a Review
abstract: Crustaceans are one of the biosphere’s most diverse and successful groups, also inhabiting various extreme habitats. Summing up our data and 203 literary sources, we analyzed how the degree of environmental extremeness can limit the potential taxonomic richness of crustaceans using the example of hypersaline waters. An analysis showed that, with an increase in salinity, the number of classes and orders of the Crustacea subtype decreased linearly, while the number of genera and species decreased
