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 -

On the origin and evolution of Antarctic Peracarida (Crustacea, Malacostraca)* ANGELIKA BRANDT Zoological Institute and Zoological Museum, Martin-Luther-King-Platz 3, D-20146 Hamburg, Germany Dedicated to Jürgen Sieg, who silently died in 1996. He inspired this research with his important account of the zoogeography of the Antarctic Tanaidacea. SUMMARY: The early separation of Gondwana and the subsequent isolation of Antarctica caused a long evolutionary his- tory of its fauna. Both, long environmental stability over millions of years and habitat heterogeneity, due to an abundance of sessile suspension feeders on the continental shelf, favoured evolutionary processes of “preadapted“ taxa, like for exam- ple the Peracarida. This taxon performs brood protection and this might be one of the most important reasons why it is very successful (i.e. abundant and diverse) in most terrestrial and aquatic environments, with some species even occupying deserts. The extinction of many decapod crustaceans in the Cenozoic might have allowed the Peracarida to find and use free ecological niches. Therefore the palaeogeographic, palaeoclimatologic, and palaeo-hydrographic changes since the Palaeocene (at least since about 60 Ma ago) and the evolutionary success of some peracarid taxa (e.g. Amphipoda, Isopo- da) led to the evolution of many endemic species in the Antarctic. Based on a phylogenetic analysis of the Antarctic Tanaidacea, Sieg (1988) demonstrated that the tanaid fauna of the Antarctic is mainly represented by phylogenetically younger taxa, and data from other crustacean taxa led Sieg (1988) to conclude that the recent Antarctic crustacean fauna must be comparatively young. -

On Homology of Arthropod Compound Eyes' "The Eye" Has Long Served As
INTEGR. CotoP. BIOL., 43:522-530 (2003) On Homology of Arthropod Compound Eyes' TODD H. OAKLEY 2 Ecology Evolutioni and Marine Biology, University of California-SantaBarbara, S'anzta Barbara, Califonzia 93106 SyNopsis. Eyes serve as models to understand the evolution of complex traits, with broad implications for the origins of evolutionary novelty. Discussions of eye evolution are relevant at miany taxonomic levels, especially within arthropods where compound eye distribution is perplexing. Either compound eyes were lost numerous times or very similar eyes evolved separately in multiple lineages. Arthropod compound eye homology is possible, especially; between crustaceans and hexapods, which have very similar eye facets and may be sister taxa. However, judging homology only on similarity requires subjective decisions. Regardless of whether compound eyes were present in a common ancestor of arthropods or crustaceans + hexapods, recent phylogenetic evidence suggests that the compound eyes, today present in myodocopid ostracods (Crus- tacea), may have been absent in ostracod ancestors. This pattern is inconsistent with phylogenetic homology. Multiple losses of ostracod eyes are an alternative hypothesis that is statistically improbable and without clear cause. One possible evolutionary process to explain the lack of phylogenetic'homology of ostracod compound eyes is that eyes may evolve by switchback evolution, where genes for lost structures remain dormant and are re-expressed much later in evolution. INTRODUCTION 'the recent evidence for and implications of a poten- "The eye" has long served as a canonical example tially non-homologous arthropod compound eye, un- of a complex trait.

Ostracod Assemblages in the Frasassi Caves and Adjacent Sulfidic Spring and Sentino River in the Northeastern Apennines of Italy
D.E. Peterson, K.L. Finger, S. Iepure, S. Mariani, A. Montanari, and T. Namiotko – Ostracod assemblages in the Frasassi Caves and adjacent sulfidic spring and Sentino River in the northeastern Apennines of Italy. Journal of Cave and Karst Studies, v. 75, no. 1, p. 11– 27. DOI: 10.4311/2011PA0230 OSTRACOD ASSEMBLAGES IN THE FRASASSI CAVES AND ADJACENT SULFIDIC SPRING AND SENTINO RIVER IN THE NORTHEASTERN APENNINES OF ITALY DAWN E. PETERSON1,KENNETH L. FINGER1*,SANDA IEPURE2,SANDRO MARIANI3, ALESSANDRO MONTANARI4, AND TADEUSZ NAMIOTKO5 Abstract: Rich, diverse assemblages comprising a total (live + dead) of twenty-one ostracod species belonging to fifteen genera were recovered from phreatic waters of the hypogenic Frasassi Cave system and the adjacent Frasassi sulfidic spring and Sentino River in the Marche region of the northeastern Apennines of Italy. Specimens were recovered from ten sites, eight of which were in the phreatic waters of the cave system and sampled at different times of the year over a period of five years. Approximately 6900 specimens were recovered, the vast majority of which were disarticulated valves; live ostracods were also collected. The most abundant species in the sulfidic spring and Sentino River were Prionocypris zenkeri, Herpetocypris chevreuxi,andCypridopsis vidua, while the phreatic waters of the cave system were dominated by two putatively new stygobitic species of Mixtacandona and Pseudolimnocythere and a species that was also abundant in the sulfidic spring, Fabaeformiscandona ex gr. F. fabaeformis. Pseudocandona ex gr. P. eremita, likely another new stygobitic species, is recorded for the first time in Italy. The relatively high diversity of the ostracod assemblages at Frasassi could be attributed to the heterogeneity of groundwater and associated habitats or to niche partitioning promoted by the creation of a chemoautotrophic ecosystem based on sulfur-oxidizing bacteria. -

A Gigantic Marine Ostracod (Crustacea: Myodocopa) Trapped in Mid-Cretaceous Burmese Amber Received: 16 November 2017 Lida Xing 1,2, Benjamin Sames 3,4, Ryan C
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A gigantic marine ostracod (Crustacea: Myodocopa) trapped in mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber Received: 16 November 2017 Lida Xing 1,2, Benjamin Sames 3,4, Ryan C. McKellar5,6, Dangpeng Xi1,2, Ming Bai7 & Accepted: 9 January 2018 Xiaoqiao Wan1,2 Published: xx xx xxxx The mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber (~99 Ma, Myanmar), widely known for exquisite preservation of theropods, also yields microfossils, which can provide important contextual information on paleoenvironment and amber formation. We report the frst Cretaceous ostracod in amber—the gigantic (12.9 mm) right valve of an exclusively marine group (Myodocopa: Myodocopida) preserved in Burmese amber. Ostracods are usually small (0.5–2 mm), with well-calcifed carapaces that provide an excellent fossil record extending to at least the Ordovician (~485 million years ago), but they are rarely encountered in amber. The new specimen efectively doubles the age of the ostracod amber record, ofering the frst representative of the Myodocopa, a weakly calcifed group with a poor fossil record. Its carapace morphology is atypical and likely plesiomorphic. The preserved valve appears to be either a moulted exuvium or a dead and disarticulated specimen, and subsequent resin fows contain forest foor inclusions with terrestrial arthropods, i.e., fragmentary remains of spiders, and insect frass. These features resolve an enigmatic taphonomic pathway, and support a marginal marine setting for resin production. Ostracods are aquatic microcrustaceans, with a calcareous, bivalved shell (carapace) that can enclose the whole body and all appendages. Few Mesozoic to Recent taxa exceed 3 mm in size and these are termed ‘gigantic’ ostra- cods, such as species of the living marine planktonic genus Gigantocypris (subclass Myodocopa, up to around 30 mm), or of the non-marine genus Megalocypris (subclass Podocopa, 5–8 mm in size).
