There are close to 2,000 subjective species and about 200 genera of Recent non-marine Ostracoda. Together, Cyprididae (1,000 spp.) and Candonidae (c. 550 spp.) represent more than 75% of the extant specific diversity; the remaining 11 families comprise the other 25% of the species. The Palaearctic region has the highest absolute non-marine ostracod diversity, followed by the Afrotropical. The Australian region has the highest relative endemicity. About 90% of the species and 60% of the genera… Expand

A subjective global checklist of the extant non-marine Ostracoda (Crustacea)
We present an updated, subjective list of the extant, non-marine ostracod genera and species of the world, with their distributions in the major zoogeographical regions, as well as a list of the… Expand
Distribution, Diversity and Ecological Characteristics of Freshwater Ostracoda (Crustacea) in Shallow Aquatic Bodies of the Ankara Region, Turkey
TLDR
Results clearly showed that these habitats can harbor diverse ostracod communities that warrant conservation and suitability of habitats appears to drive ostracode distribution and diversity in these wetland sites. Expand
Diversity of marine planktonic ostracods in South China Sea: a DNA taxonomy approach
TLDR
By analysing the mitochondrial COI gene, this work explores the taxa across the SCA using molecular tools for the first time and shows that sequence divergence among species varies within a large range, from 12.93% to 35.82%. Expand
Biodiversity of non-marine ostracods (Crustacea, Ostracoda) in the alluvial valley of the upper Paraná River, Brazil.
TLDR
There is a large homogeneity within and between systems, as exemplified by the low beta-diversity levels, which can to some extend be explained by the putative effects of flood pulse on benthic communities. Expand
The ecology of ostracodes (Ostracoda, Crustacea) in western Mongolia
TLDR
The authors' data indicated that the ostracode fauna of western Mongolia shows a high response to calcium content, alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and altitude, and species composition and diversity seem to be determined by solute evolution dominated by Ca-depletion. Expand
An annotated checklist of the Recent non-marine ostracods (Ostracoda: Crustacea) from Italy.
TLDR
After synonymising several species and removing invalid taxa reported in the literature, the updated checklist now includes 152 species and 5 taxa identified at supraspecific level, belonging to 57 genera and 12 families. Expand
Recent species of the Family Candonidae (Ostracoda, Crustacea) from the ancient Lake Biwa, Central Japan
Sampling of Lake Biwa between November 1997 and February 2007 has revealed a diverse Candonidae fauna consisting of 18 species. Eleven are previously undescribed species, belonging to the genera… Expand
Overview of Neotropical-Caribbean freshwater ostracode fauna (Crustacea, Ostracoda): identifying areas of endemism and assessing biogeographical affinities
Freshwater ostracodes from the Neotropical-Caribbean region are potentially excellent tools for evolutionary and paleoenvironmental studies but their use is limited, because integrated data in… Expand
Distribution and ecology of non-marine ostracods (Crustacea, Ostracoda) from Friuli Venezia Giulia (NE Italy)
TLDR
The results of this study indicate that Friuli Venezia Giulia hosts a very diverse ostracod fauna, representing a significant proportion of all ostracOD taxa known thus far from Italy. Expand
Extant freshwater ostracodes (Crustacea: Ostracoda) from Lago Petén Itzá, Guatemala.
TLDR
Eleven ostracode species were collected in Lago Petén Itzá, the second largest lowland lake in Guatemala, and from its inflow tributary, Río Ixlú in November 2005 and February 2008 for taxonomy, size, ecology, biology and geographic distribution. Expand

A biogeographical model similar to the dispersal one which foccus on the ecological processes occurring at local and/or regional scales is proposed which aims to better understand the modes of ostracod dispersal across a range of spatial scales. Expand

TLDR
The hypothesis that Cuba and Hispaniola have been part of a proto-Antillean arc, which has been connected with Yucatan is strengthened, as no hypogean species were found in the Lesser Antilles, strengthening the hypothesis that these islands have emerged above the sea level independently of the Proto-Antilles and much later in time.

Persistence of asexuality through mixed reproduction in Eucypris virens (Crustacea, Ostracoda)
TLDR
It is argued that data from the nuclear ITS1 and mitochondrial COI regions can only provide a lower limit on the number of origins of asexual reproduction, and an upper limit on asexual lineages, and can provide support for the inference of long-term apomictic reproduction. Expand
