Editing Mysida (section)

==Distribution==
Mysids have a [[cosmopolitan distribution]] and are found in both marine and freshwater environments, the deep sea, estuaries, shallow coastal waters, lakes, rivers and underground waters. They are primarily marine and fewer than ten percent are found in freshwater. There are about 72 freshwater species in total, being predominantly found in the [[Palearctic realm|Palearctic]] and [[Neotropical realm]]s. These non-marine mysids occur in four distinct types of habitats; some are estuarine species; some were isolated in the [[Ponto-Caspian Basin]] where ''[[Paramysis]]'' has since radiated enormously (23 species); some are glacial [[Relict (biology)|relicts]] and some are subterranean [[Tethys Ocean|Tethyan]] relicts.<ref>{{cite journal |author1=Porter, Megan L. |author2=Meland, Kenneth |author3=Price, Wayne |year=2008 |title=Global diversity of mysids (Crustacea-Mysida) in freshwater |journal=Developments in Hydrobiology |volume=198 |pages=213–218 |doi=10.1007/978-1-4020-8259-7_23 |isbn=978-1-4020-8258-0 }}</ref>
