Diversity of Tanaidacea (Crustacea: Peracarida) in the World’s Oceans – How Far Have We Come? Magdalena Blazewicz-Paszkowycz1*, Roger Bamber2, Gary Anderson3 1 Department of Polar Biology and Oceanobiology, University of Ło´dz´,Ło´dz´, Poland, 2 Artoo Marine Biology Consultants, Ocean Quay Marina, Southampton, Hants, United Kingdom, 3 Department of Biological Sciences, University of Southern Mississippi, Hattiesburg, Mississippi, United States of America Abstract Tanaidaceans are small peracarid crustaceans which occur in all marine habitats, over the full range of depths, and rarely into fresh waters. Yet they have no obligate dispersive phase in their life-cycle. Populations are thus inevitably isolated, and allopatric speciation and high regional diversity are inevitable; cosmopolitan distributions are considered to be unlikely or non-existent.
