Species Range
The vernal pool fairy shrimp was identified relatively recently, in 1990, and there is little information on the historical range of the species. However, the vernal pool fairy shrimp is currently known to occur in a wide range of vernal pool habitats in the southern and Central Valley areas of California, and in two vernal pool habitats within the "Agate Desert" area of Jackson County, Oregon.
