A new genus, Thaicypris gen. nov., in the tribe Herpetocypridini Kaufmann, 1900 of subfamily Herpetocypridinae is established to accommodate a species from Thailand. The present contribution deals with description genus and species, panhai et sp. which mainly characterized by distinctive raised, inwardly displaced selvage at postero-ventral part right valve (RV) that not parallel margin, absenc...

Urbanization is one of the major causes destruction natural habitats in world. Cities are urban heat islands and can thus significantly influence populations plants animals. The research project SPEEDY investigated effects urbanization northern Belgium with a nested sampling design at local landscape scales for variety organisms. Here, we tested on non-marine ostracod communities, 81 small pool...

During the Neogene, Betic Strait was one of gateways that connected Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. In this paper, we have analyzed ostracod faunas samples collected from sediments crossed by a long borehole in southwestern Spain. These were deposited strait just before Messinian Salinity Crisis. middle (6.8-6.0 Ma), scarce low diversified assemblages (Krithe, Parakrithe, Henryhowella) ar...

We present the geological map of north-eastern margin Fucino Basin, which is mainly characterized by Plio-Quaternary continental deposits that show transition from deeper-water lacustrine environment, marginal system, and fluvial facies. These unconformably overlie upper Messinian Lago-Mare sediments pre-orogenic carbonate succession. The occurrence Caspiocypris tiberina in sediments, coupled w...

Sampling of rice fields in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, yielded an undescribed species the non-marine ostracod genus Sarscypridopsis McKenzie, 1977. Small marginal denticles on left valve give this its name: denticulata n. sp. Most are restricted to Africa, and based morphological characters, closest congener new is native Botswana. We therefore conclude that probably not it joins six other or p...

Degradation of coastal environments is an issue that many areas in Europe are facing. In the present work, ancient lake wetland investigated, so-called Lake Lerna NE Peloponnese, Greece. The area hosted early agricultural populations modern Greece started modifying their environment as early–middle Neolithic. Two drill cores were analysed to establish sedimentological succession and depositiona...
