Recent Bairdiinae (Crustacea, Ostracoda) from the Solomon Islands

Three new species of the genus Loxoconcha (Crustacea, Ostracoda, Podocopida) from the Okinawa Islands, southern Japan.

Three new species of Ostracoda, Loxoconcha noharai sp. nov., L. santosi sp. nov. and L. sesokoensis sp. nov., are described from the Okinawa Islands, southern Japan. The two species Loxoconcha noharai sp. nov. and L. santosi sp. nov. live in estuaries, whereas the species L. sesokoensis sp. nov. lives in coral reefs.

An annotated checklist of the Recent non-marine ostracods (Ostracoda: Crustacea) from Italy.

We present an updated checklist of non-marine ostracods from Italy. Data were obtained from the published literature up to April 2013 and new collections carried out in 18 out of 20 Italian regions. Altogether, 1665 ostracod samples were collected from 1241 new sites visited between 1981 and 2013. Sites were selected to encompass the most widespread types of freshwater aquatic habitats (i.e., p...

Extant freshwater ostracodes (Crustacea: Ostracoda) from Lago Petén Itzá, Guatemala.

Ostracode taxonomy has been of great interest because of their possible use as indicator species in climate and ecosystem changes. In Central and South America, few studies have been carried out and this study includes a contribution to the group. Eleven ostracode species were collected in Lago Petén Itzá (approximately 100km2), the second largest lowland lake in Guatemala, and from its inflow ...
