15 International Symposium on Ostracoda Berliner paläobiologische Abhandlungen 1-160 6 Berlin 2005 15th International Symposium on Ostracoda In Memory of Friedrich-Franz Helmdach (1935-1994) Freie Universität Berlin September 12-15, 2005 Abstract Volume (edited by Rolf Kohring and Benjamin Sames) 2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Preface The 15th International Symposium on Ostracoda takes place in Berlin in September 2005, hosted by the Institute of Geological Sciences of the Freie Universität Berlin. This is the second time that the International Symposium on Ostracoda has been held in Germany, following the 5th International Symposium in Hamburg in 1974. The relative importance of Ostracodology - the science that studies Ostracoda - in Germany is further highlighted by well-known names such as G.W. Müller, Klie, Triebel and Helmdach, and others who stand for the long tradition of research on Ostracoda in Germany. During our symposium in Berlin more than 150 participants from 36 countries will meet to discuss all aspects of living and fossil Ostracoda. We hope that the scientific communities working on the biology and palaeontology of Ostracoda will benefit from interesting talks and inspiring discussions - in accordance with the symposium's theme: Ostracodology - linking bio- and geosciences We wish every participant a successful symposium and a pleasant stay in Berlin Berlin, July 27th 2005 Michael Schudack and Steffen Mischke CONTENT Schudack, M. and Mischke, S.: Preface 2 Content 2 Acknowledgements 3 Program of ISO 15 4 Abstracts 9 Mischke, S.: Mid-Symposium excursion: Metropolitan ostracods from the Spree river 135 Participants and Index 143 Campus Map 160 3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12 07:00-09:15 Registration 09:15-10:00 Opening Session 10:00-11:00 Session “Evolution and Systematics 1” 11:00-11:30 Coffee Break 11:30-12:45 Session “Evolution and Systematics 2” 12:45-13:15 Congress Photo 13.15-14:30 Lunch 14:30-16:00 Session “Biogeography 1” 16:00-16:30 Coffee Break 16:30-17:45 Session “Biogeography 2” 18:00-19:00 Workshop 1 19:00 Congress party at the Conference Site TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13 08:30-10:00 Session “Methods and Applications 1” 10:00-10:30 Coffee Break 10:30-11:00 Session “Methods and Applications 2” 11:15-12:15 Session “Ecology of Freshwater Ostracods 1” 12:15-14:00 Lunch 14:00-15:30 Session “Ecology of Freshwater Ostracods 2” 15:30-16:00 Coffee Break 16:00-18:30 Workshop 2 19:00-20:00 Plenary Session of the IRGO WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14 08:30-10:15 Session “Ecology of Saline and Brackish Water Ostracods” 10:15-12:00 Poster Session (incl.

    Berlin - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin Coordinates: 52°30′26″N 13°8′45″E Berlin From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Berlin (/bɜːrˈlɪn, ˌbɜːr-/, German: [bɛɐ̯ˈliːn]) is the capital and the largest city of Germany as well as one of its 16 Berlin constituent states, Berlin-Brandenburg. With a State of Germany population of approximately 3.7 million,[4] Berlin is the most populous city proper in the European Union and the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Located in northeastern Germany on the banks of the rivers Spree and Havel, it is the centre of the Berlin- Brandenburg Metropolitan Region, which has roughly 6 million residents from more than 180 nations[6][7][8][9], making it the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Due to its location in the European Plain, Berlin is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. Around one- third of the city's area is composed of forests, parks, gardens, rivers, canals and lakes.[10] First documented in the 13th century and situated at the crossing of two important historic trade routes,[11] Berlin became the capital of the Margraviate of Brandenburg (1417–1701), the Kingdom of Prussia (1701–1918), the German Empire (1871–1918), the Weimar Republic (1919–1933) and the Third Reich (1933–1945).[12] Berlin in the 1920s was the third largest municipality in the world.[13] After World War II and its subsequent occupation by the victorious countries, the city was divided; East Berlin was declared capital of East Germany, while West Berlin became a de facto West German exclave, surrounded by the Berlin Wall [14] (1961–1989) and East German territory.

The New Caledonia archipelago is known for its high level of endemism in both faunal and fl oral groups. Thus far, only 12 species of non-marine ostracods have been reported. After three expeditions to the main island of the archipelago (Grande Terre), about four times as many species were found, about half of which are probably new.

These species are frequently found in freshwater ecosystems and in sediment sequences, which makes them valuable tools for paleoenvironmental reconstructions. Knowledge of Mexican Candona species is limited, however, and scant information exists regarding their taxonomy and ecology. Here we describe Candona alchichica, a new ostracod species we suggest being endemic to Lake Alchichica, central Mexico.only The species belongs to the acuminata group of species, based on the presence of 5+1 setae on the second segment of the mandibular palp. It is closely related to C. patzcuaro, C. tahoensis and C. ohioensis, but differs from those species in that the females have an elongated genital field, wide at the base and narrow at the end.

The paper reports on the results of the pollen, plant macrofossil and geochemical analyses and the AMS 14C-based chronology of the «Rüdersdorf» outcrop situated east of Berlin in Brandenburg (Germany). The postglacial landscape changed from an open one to generally forested by ca. 14 cal. kyr BP. Woody plants (mainly birch and pine) contributed up to 85% to the pollen assemblages ca. 13.4–12.5 cal. kyr BP. The subsequent Younger Dryas (YD) interval is characterized by a decrease in arboreal pollen (AP) to 75% but led neither to substantial deforestation nor spread of tundra vegetation. This supports the concept that the YD cooling was mainly limited to the winter months, while summers remained comparably warm and allowed much broader (than initially believed) spread of cold-tolerant boreal trees. Further support for this theory comes from the fact that the relatively low AP values persisted until ca. 10.6 cal. kyr BP, when the «hazel phase» of the regional vegetation succession began.

  • Nonmarine Ostracoda (Crustacea) from Jeju Island, South Korea, Including Descriptions of Two New Species Robin James Smitha, Jimin Leeb and Cheon Young Changc*
    Journal of Natural History, 2015 Vol. 49, Nos. 1–2, 37–76, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00222933.2014.946110 Nonmarine Ostracoda (Crustacea) from Jeju Island, South Korea, including descriptions of two new species Robin James Smitha, Jimin Leeb and Cheon Young Changc* aLake Biwa Museum, Kusatsu, Shiga, Japan; bMarine Ecosystem Research Division, Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology, Ansan, Korea; cDepartment of Biological Science, College of Natural Sciences, Daegu University, Gyeongsan, Korea (Received 25 March 2014; accepted 15 July 2014; first published online 26 August 2014) Collections of brackish and freshwater ostracods on Jeju Island, South Korea, yielded 26 species, including two new species belonging to the genera Cyclocypris and Cypretta, and nine new records for the Korean fauna: Bradleytriebella tuberculata (Hartmann, 1964), Strandesia flavescens Klie, 1932, Potamocypris variegata (Brady & Norman, 1889), Heterocypris salina (Brady, 1868), Stenocypris hirutai Smith and Kamiya, 2006, Ishizakiella miurensis (Hanai, 1957), Terrestricythere ivanovae Schornikov, 1969, Limnocythere sp. and Tanycypris alfonsi Nagler, Geist and Matzke-Karasz, 2014. Tanycypris alfonsi is also known from Germany, where it is considered to be an alien species. The Limnocythere species belongs to the stationis group, which consists of another eight species, and is probably undescribed. A lack of males hinders its description, but its presence in Korea is significant; including the record herein, seven of the group inhabit North-East Asia, indicating the group may have originated in this region. http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:74FA8742-D301-4EC0-B058-021EE 1CDFCB0 Keywords: brackish; freshwater; Cyclocypris; Cypretta; ostracods; South Korea Introduction Jeju Island, the largest island in South Korea, lies approximately 80 km south of the Korean peninsula.
