The Ostracoda: Applications in Quaternary ResearchProvides an integrated approach to the Ostracoda and their applications in Quaternary environmental reconstruction suitable for both specialist and non-specialist from the fields of earth science, environmental science, aquatic ecology, and archaeology. Presents a comprehensive review of the biology, taxonomy and ecology of ostracodes. Provides a detailed coverage of ostracode palaeoecology from marine, marginal-marine and non-marine environments. Places strong emphasis on the use of ostracode shells in geochemical analyses. Emphasizes the link between living and fossil ostracodes and it's importance in paleoenvironment reconstruction. |
