Fossil Cladoceran References

NOTE: For many of these references, I have pdfs. This list includes all known papers on the fossil record of cladocerans (i.e. water fleas). Some of the 'subfossil cladoceran' literature is included, but I have not made an exhaustive survey of this area. If you think I am missing something, please let me know!
