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.

  • Soft Body Morphology, Dissection and Slide-Preparation of Ostracoda: a Primer
    Joannea Geol. Paläont. 11: 327-343 (2011) Soft body morphology, dissection and slide-preparation of Ostracoda: a primer Tadeusz NAMIOTKO, Dan L. DANIELOPOL & Angel BALTANÁS Abstract: Most commonly used techniques for treating ostracod soft body for taxonomi- cal purposes with optical microscopy are described with emphasis on the order Podo- copida. A variety of procedures for pre-treatment, storage, recovery of dried specimens, dissection, temporary and permanent mounting, and staining methods are presented and evaluated. General morphology and terminology of the ostracod appendages are also summarised. Key Words: Ostracoda; Dissection; Mounting; Staining; Appendages; Morphology. 1. Introduction One of best diagnostic and most conspicuous trait of Ostracoda is a bivalved carapace that may completely envelop the whole animal body with limbs. Ostracodologists usu- ally refer to calcified valves as “hard parts”, whereas to the appendages and other in- ternal organs as „soft parts”. The classification of Recent ostracods is based mainly on differences in the soft part morphology which is ordinarily of little use by palaeontolo- gists. However, considering the close functional relationship often existing between the soft and hard parts, each expressing to a considerable extent the morphology of the other, even basic knowledge on the appendages without doubt should help palaeonto- logists to better understand and interpret various features displayed in the valves of the fossil ostracods. Examining living material collected from modern habitats enables pa- laeontologists also to become familiar with intraspecific variability or ecology, which could greatly facilitate both taxonomical and palaeoenvironmental studies. Therefore the morphology and terminology of the soft parts of ostracods is outlined (focusing on limbs) in this primer prior to the description of various laboratory techniques involved in the appendage preparation for optical microscopy.

Breve definición del grupo y principales caracteres diagnósticos Según el criterio más extendido actualmente, y que aquí seguiremos, se considera a los ostrácodos como una clase (Cl. Ostracoda) del Subphylum Crustacea, perteneciente al Phylum Arthropoda. No obstante, existen autores que defienden su pertenencia, como subclase, a la clase Maxillopoda (que incluiría tam- bién a branquiuros, tantulocáridos, copépodos y cirrípedos, entre otros). Más allá de esta circunstancia, los ostrácodos pueden describirse como crustáceos de tamaño mediano a pequeño (desde los 0,2 a los 5 mm; con casos excepcionales que alcanzan los 3 cm), que poseen un ojo naupliar medial, con la segmen- tación corporal severamente reducida, entre cinco y ocho pares de apéndices y, como elemento más significativo, la presencia de un caparazón bivalvo. Aunque el caparazón contiene en sí mismo rasgos diagnósticos (tamaño, forma, ornamentación...) que ayudan a la correcta asignación taxonómica de los ostrácodos, su presencia—que obstaculiza la observación in vivo de muchos detalles diagnósticos del animal— y el pequeño tamaño de estos organismos obligan con frecuencia a la disección de los ejempla- res para su identificación, especialmente para la identificación a nivel específico.

  • Exceptionally Preserved Ostracods from a Middle Miocene Palaeolake
    Exceptionally preserved ostracods from a Middle Miocene palaeolake, California, USA I.P. WILKINSON1, P.R. WILBY1, M. WILLIAMS2, D.J. SIVETER2, A.A. PAGE3, L. LEGGITT4 & D.A. RILEY2 1British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham NG12 5GG, UK (e-mail: [email protected]) 2Department of Geology, University of Leicester, Leicester LE1 7RH, UK 3Department of Earth Sciences, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3EQ, UK 4 Department of Earth and Biological Sciences, Loma Linda University, Loma Linda, CA 92350, USA Abstract. Exceptionally well-preserved specimens of a new cypridid ostracod (Crustacea), Raepula ira sp. nov., are described from palaeolake sediments of the Middle Miocene Barstow Formation of the Mud Hills, southern California. This is only the second occurrence of exceptionally preserved ostracods from the Miocene. Based on ages obtained from associated volcanic tuffs the palaeolake sediments were deposited between 16.3 and 15.8 Ma. The ostracods form one element of a diverse lake community dominated by fairy shrimps, copepods, diatoms, larvae of diving beetles, flies and mosquitoes, and body fossils and ephippia of branchiopods and anomopods. The ostracods are preserved three-dimensionally with their soft anatomy replicated in microcrystalline silica. Sub-micron scale details such as sensory setae are preserved, surpassing the resolution of most other ostracod- bearing lagerstätten and allowing their biology to be compared with extant taxa. Key words: Ostracoda, Miocene, morphology, taphonomy, California Supplementary material: Red-blue anaglyphs of the exceptionally preserved ostracods are available at http://www.geolsoc.org.uk/SUP00000. 1 Of the estimated 30,000 species of fossil ostracods only about 20 species are known from their soft anatomy.
