Handbook of Ostracod taxonomy

The freshwater ostracod (Crustacea) genus Notodromas Lilljeborg, 1853 (Notodromadidae) from Japan; taxonomy, ecology and lifestyle.

Although Notodromas monacha (O. F.

The Japanese specimens are described as a new species, Notodromas trulla n. sp., herein. This species differs from Notodromas monacha by the morphology of the male fifth limbs an...

Simultaneous fieldmeasurements of ostracod swimming behavior and background flow

Zooplankton swimming near the substratum experience boundary layer flow that is characterized by steep velocity gradients and turbulence. How do small swimming organisms navigate flows at this interface to forage and interact with mates? To address this question, we collected field measurements of the swimming behavior of the marine ostracod Paravargula trifax near complex living substrata, whi...

Brood care in a Silurian ostracod.

An exceptionally preserved new ostracod crustacean from the Silurian of Herefordshire, England, preserves eggs and possible juveniles within its carapace, providing an unequivocal and unique view of parental brood care in the invertebrate fossil record. The female fossil is assigned to a new family and superfamily of myodocopids based on its soft-part anatomy. It demonstrates a remarkably conse...
