==Classification==

Early work indicated that Ostracoda may not be [[monophyly|monophyletic]],<ref>{{cite book |author1=Richard A. Fortey  |author2=Richard H. Thomas  |name-list-style=amp |title=Arthropod Relationships |year=1998 |isbn=978-0-412-75420-3 |publisher=[[Chapman & Hall]]}}</ref> and early [[molecular phylogeny]] was ambiguous on this front.<ref>{{cite journal |author1=S.
