Crustacean larva stop after a single copepodid stage. Once the gonads develop, there are no further moults. Chalimus (plural chalimi) is a stage of development of a copepod parasite of fish, such as the salmon louse ("Lepeophtheirus salmonis"). "Chalimus" Burmeister, 1834 is also a synonym for "Lepeophtheirus" Nordmann, 1832. The single genus in the Facetotecta, "Hansenocaris", is only known from its larvae. They were first described by Christian Andreas Victor Hensen in 1887, and named "y-nauplia" by Hans Jacob Hansen, assuming them to be the larvae of barnacles. The adults are presumed to be parasites of other animals. Crustacean larva Crustaceans may
Branta thessaliensis Mammal Neogene stage MN12, 7.5-6.8 million years ago) deposit at Perivolaki in Thessaly, after which region the species was named. Both near-shore freshwater bodies and open grassland habitat were found in the Perivolaki area during MN12. The species provides further support for the distinctness of "Branta" from the "Anser" grey geese by that time. It also suggests that the present biogeography of Eurasian "Branta" - breeding at Arctic and wintering at Mediterranean latitudes - is a product of post-Miocene times, possibly due to range shifts during the ice age era. In this aspect it is notable that such a breeding-wintering
