  • 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

  • Distribution and Ecology of Non-Marine Ostracods (Crustacea, Ostracoda) from Friuli Venezia Giulia (NE Italy)
    J.

Usberti 33A, 43100 Parma, Italy 1)Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Freshwater Biology, Vautierstraat 29, 1000 Brussels, Belgium 2)Formerly Technical Secretariat for Protected Areas, Ministry for Environment, Territory Protection and Sea; present address: Via Sboccatore 3/27, 00069 Trevignano Romano, Roma, Italy *e-mail corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT From August 1981 to July 2007, 200 inland water bodies were sampled to gather information on the Recent ostracod fauna of Friuli Venezia Giulia (NE Italy). A total of 320 samples were collected from surface, interstitial and ground waters. Whenever possible, ostracod identification was performed at species level based on the morphology of both valves and limbs. Seventy-four taxa in 30 genera belonging to 9 different families (Darwinulidae, Candonidae, Ilyocyprididae, Notodromadidae, Cyprididae, Limnocytheridae, Cytheridae, Leptocytheridae and Xestoleberididae) were identified. The maximum number of taxa per site was seven. The most common species was Cypria ophthalmica (133 records), followed by Cyclocypris ovum (86 records), C. laevis (49 records), Cypridopsis vidua (40 records) and Notodromas persica (28 records). Of particular relevance is the occurrence of six species new to Italy: Microdarwinula zimmeri, Penthesilenula brasiliensis, Fabaeformiscandona wegelini, Pseudocandona semicognita, Candonopsis scourfieldi, and C. mediosetosa. Scanning electron microscopy images of valves are provided for most of the described taxa. Geographical distribution of ostracods and their occurrence in relation to environmental variables were examined.

  • New Records of Freshwater Ostracoda (Ccustacea) from the Canary Islands
    Bull. Soc. Nat. luxemb., 94 (1993) p. 219-232 New records of freshwater Ostracoda (Ccustacea) from the Canary Islands Angel BALTANÁS 1) and Javier GARCÍA-AVILÉS2) Abstract: Records of 10 ostracod species occunng in freshwater habitau in the isles of Fuerteventura, Tenerife and Gomera (Canq Islands) are here reported. Five of them (Ilyocypris gibba, Heterocypris incongruens, Potamocypris arcuata. Limnocythere inopinata and Cyprideis torosa) are new for the fauna of the archipelago. A description of a Herpetocypris species. tentatively ascxibed to H. helenae, is also included and its taxonomic position dixussed. Introduction The knowledge of the aquatic fauna inhabiting the Canary Islands inqreased signi- ficantly in the last years. Prof Dr J. H. Stock piayed a major role in this process as the leader of a research project on the origin of insular groundwater biotas in the Atlantic. Recently, Meisch & Broodbakker (1990, 1993) reported the presence of several ostracod pies in freshwater samples collected by Prof. Stock on the Canary and Cabo Vede islands fiom 1985 to 1988. Meisch & Broodbakker (1993) aiso provide a complete check-list of freshwater Ostracoda known to occur in the Macaronesian region. Those inhabiting the Canary islands are: Pseudocandona aibicans (Brady, 1864); Herpetocypris chevreui (Sars, 18%); Heterocypris salina (Brady, 1868); Cypretta seurati Gauthier, 1929; Cypridopsis vidu (O.F.MUller, 1776); Plesiocypridopsis newtoni (Brady & Robertson, 1870); Sarscypridopsis aculeata (Costa, 1847) and Sarscypridopsis lanzarotensis (Mailwitz, 1984). Although most of the samples were collected in wells, none of these species belonged to the stygobiont fauna. Apart from this, no additionai information exists on the ostracod fauna of the Canary islands except the description of four marine species in Hartmann (1959) and two anchialine species from a lava tunnel in Lanzarote, Danieiopolina wiikensi Hartmann, 1985 and Eusarsiella bedoyai Baltanás, 1992.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Patterns of morphological disparity are explored at different taxonomic levels within the ostracod superfamily Cypridoidea Baird, 1845. Valve outlines for 171 species in four families, fifteen subfa- milies and forty genera have been extracted from existing literature and analysed using elliptic Fourier analysis. Once ostracod shapes are characterized numerically, the cypridoidean (empirical) morphospace is described accordingly. The position of the ostracod species within the morphospace allows the computation and comparison of the morphological disparity in different groups, as well as their relative contribution (partial disparity) to overall morphological variation. The family Candonidae is the group with the highest diversity in valve shape and accounts for more than 50% of total disparity in the superfamily. Mixtacandona and Cypria, with their extreme shapes, are mainly responsible for that pattern. However, as compared to the Cyprididae, taxonomic diversity of cando- nids is low suggesting that morphological diversity might better reflect ecological processes (e.g. adaptation to extreme environments) than branching phylogenetic patterns. Key words: Morphometrics, disparity, non-marine ostracods, taxonomic diversity. Resumen Se exploran los patrones de disparidad morfológica en diferentes niveles taxonómicos dentro de la superfamilia de ostrácodos Cypridoidea Baird, 1845.

I must, of course, also thank my co-promotor Prof. Koen Martens for his guidance and providing me with much needed literature. I’m also very grateful to all of the wonderful people of the university’s palaeontology department, in particular Koen Verhoeven, who helped me find literature, explained the workings of the C2 software to me and in general was just always there if I had questions or needed something. Others that should be mentioned here are Mona Court-Picon (who has since left the Ghent University and at present works at the RBIN), Dirk Van Damme and Vanessa Gelorini, who have provided me with information on the workings of the GOA project and previous research in this context. I also want to thank Thijs Van der Meeren for helping me on my way in identifying ostracods and making sense of the obtained data.
