Abstract

The long history of cladoceran morphological andtaxonomic studies beginning in the second halfof the 17th century to nowadays is divided into sevensubsequent periods. Each of them is characterized bydomination of specific trends and a noticeableincrease of the number of taxa described. In spite ofthe multitude of studies the taxonomic diversity ofcladocerans, especially at species level, remain to beinsufficiently known. The history of hydrobiology isbriefly reviewed in order to reveal the causes ofthis insufficient knowledge among which historicalfactors and a long domination of an integral approachto studies of continental water bodies are thought tobe most important.
