Les Ostracodes des Sédiments envasants du récif de la Carrière Beauchâteau, à Senzeilles (partie supérieure de Frasnien, Bassin de Dinant) [PDF]

, 1988
This study indicates that the red marble reef of the Beauchâteau quarry (Dinant Basin, Belgium) was formed in a shallow marine environment. The enclosing sediments probably overlap the Favulella lecomptei / Svantovites lethiersi Interval Zone and the S ...

On a new species of the genus Cyprinotus (Crustacea, Ostracoda) from a temporary wetland in New Caledonia (Pacific Ocean), with a reappraisal of the genus [PDF]

, 2019
The New Caledonia archipelago is known for its high level of endemism in both faunal and floral groups. Thus far, only 12 species of non-marine ostracods have been reported.

The moulting arthropod: a complete genetic toolkit review

Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 6, Page 2338-2375, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Exoskeletons are a defining character of all arthropods that provide physical support for their segmented bodies and appendages as well as protection from the environment and predation. This ubiquitous yet evolutionarily variable feature has been instrumental in facilitating the adoption of a variety of lifestyles and the exploitation of ...

Use of eDNA and conventional sampling methods to survey rock pool (gnamma) biodiversity on granite inselbergs

Austral Ecology, Volume 49, Issue 8, August 2024.
Environmental DNA sampling coupled with high‐throughput sequencing is increasingly recognized as a useful method for assessing biodiversity with potential applications in terrestrial environments. Rock pools on granite inselbergs support diverse aquatic communities, yet the application of eDNA to document their biodiversity is lacking.

Testing the deep‐sea glacial disturbance hypothesis as a cause of low, present‐day Norwegian Sea diversity and resulting steep latitudinal diversity gradient, using fossil records

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 33, Issue 7, July 2024.
Abstract Aim Within the intensively‐studied, well‐documented latitudinal diversity gradient, the deep‐sea biodiversity of the present‐day Norwegian Sea stands out with its notably low diversity, constituting a steep latitudinal diversity gradient in the North Atlantic. The reason behind this has long been a topic of debate and speculation.

A new thalassocypridine genus (Crusacea, Ostracoda) from brackish waters in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, with the description of a new species [PDF]

, 1998
Mangalocypria, a new genus of the tribe Thalassocypridini, is described, with a new species, and two previously described species, from Papua New Guinea, the Comoros and Indonesia. The new genus has a remarkable set of characters separating it from other

Invertebrates from naturally brackish areas are less impacted by road salt and alternative deicers

Invertebrate Biology, Volume 143, Issue 2, June 2024.
Abstract Road salt (NaCl) is the most common deicer used to melt snow and ice from roadways in cold climates, but its use results in runoff of sodium and chloride ions into sewers and into soil and freshwater ecosystems. Road salt causes harmful effects on wetland habitats, which host an abundance of macroinvertebrate species. Alternatives to road salt,

Fecundity, egg Volume, and reproductive output of Xestoleberis rotunda (Podocopida: Ostracoda) from the Red Sea, Egypt

Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Research
In this work, we evaluated the sex ratio, fecundity, egg volume, and reproductive output of the marine ostracod species Xestoleberis rotunda in the Red Sea, Egypt. The sex ratio was biased towards females (2.2: 1). The ovigerous and non-ovigerous females

Contribution to the knowledge of continental ostracod from Chile [PDF]

, 2013
Our knowledge of continental ostracods in South America is still in its infancy with a total of only 260 species (MARTENS & BEHEN, 1994). Particularly in Chile, it is still scarce and scattered, with large voids in the taxonomy and distribution.

Marine sediment infauna‐based environmental assessment using metabarcoding identifies potential impact indicator species

Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 3, May–June 2024.
Intertidal infaunal community data are obtained via: (1) morphological identification of macroinvertebrates from sediment cores, (2) cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) DNA metabarcoding of the same pooled macroinvertebrate specimens, and (3) 18S ribosomal RNA (18S) DNA metabarcoding of benthic meiofauna from small volume sediment surface scrapes.
