“…As quantitative (multivariate) ostracode ecology has received increasing attention, resulting (paleo-) ecological applications benefit from more accurately delineated ecological niches. Ecological work on recent communities has demonstrated the response of ostracode faunas to their hydrochemical environment (e.g., Forester, 1983;Smith, 1993a), water depth-as a secondary variable related to mixing regime, transparency, sediment composition, and so on-(e.g., Mourguiart & Carbonel, 1994), thermal ranges (e.g., Horne, 2007), macrophyte habitat structure (e.g., Kiss, 2007), or characteristic hydroperiods (e.g., Karan-Ž nidaršič & Petrov, 2007). The development of paleolimnological applications (which is typically based on subfossil assemblages) does not necessarily rely on recent ecology (i.e., studying living material).…”

The ecology of ostracodes (Ostracoda, Crustacea) in western Mongolia

Aquatic biota in Central Asia witnesses and faces a changing environment. Because ostracodes contribute to both extant and fossil lacustrine diversity, they can be used to track evolution in water quality. Living ostracode communities in a variety of aquatic habitats of western Mongolia were analyzed in relation to environmental and hydrochemical variables of those habitats, based on presence/absence data from net samples. The sampled water bodies represent broad gradients in ionic concentration and composition. Ostracode community composition of springs differed from all other sampled habitats, which was also reflected in CCA analyses. Our data indicated that the ostracode fauna of western Mongolia shows a high response to calcium content, alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and altitude. Species composition and diversity seem to be determined by solute evolution dominated by Ca-depletion. In general, this seems to be an important regulator of lacustrine ostracode species composition in several semi-arid regions. Binary logistic regression was used to predict the occurrence of the most common species with a minimal set of environmental variables. The resulting models showed on average low performance, and mainly demonstrated the potential of such modeling to predict the distribution of typical bio-indicator species

“…Up to now it has been described from lakes Biwa and Okinawa in Japan (Schornikov, 2004;Smith et al, 2011), lakes Bosten and Taihu in China Mischke and Schudack, 2001, shells only;Yu et al, 2005), in Korea (Lee et al, 2000), in India as Ilyocypris shawneetownensis (Bhatia and Singh, 1971;, and in Thrace Turkey (Özuluğ, 2005). Smith et al (2011) consider Pelocypris alatobulbosa Delorme, 1970 from Canada synonim of I. salebrosa and suspects its presence also in Serbia, quoted by Karan-Žnidaršič and Petrov (2007) under the name Ilyocypris decipiens.…”

Ecology and distribution of living ostracod assemblages in a shallow endorheic lake: the example of the Lake Trasimeno (Umbria, central Italy)

et al. 2017

Ostracod assemblages from Lake Trasimeno (Umbria, central Italy), the largest endorheic lake in Italy, were investigated relating their species distribution and ecology to modern physical, chemical and biological parameters. Nineteen living species were collected in the lake (Darwinula stevensoni, Candona (Candona) Limnocythere inopinata, and L. stationis). All the identified species belong to the fresh-water Italian ostracod fauna but Cyprideis torosa is documented in an oligohaline athalassic lacustrine environment in Italy for the first time. The occurrence of Ilyocypris salebrosa represents the southernmost record in Italy and the westernmost in Eurasia. The recovery of Limnocythere stationis represents the westernmost record in Eurasia. The distribution of the different ostracods recovered in Lake Trasimeno is linked to the dominant physical and chemical parameters for each ecological niche. Physical and chemical data along with substratum type, grain-size and presence of aquatic macrophytes have been related to different ostracods using a multivariate analyses approach (NMDS, CCA, Spearman's rank correlation test). These results allow to differentiate several ecological niches within the lake and indicate that the main parameters affecting the ostracod assemblages are the aquatic macrophyte coverage, the Total Organic Carbon (TOC) and, to a lesser extent, temperature and type of substrate. Cyprideis torosa and Candona (Neglecandona) angulata have been recovered both in the distal part of the lake and in the lakeshore area. In both cases they are associated with scarce or absent aquatic macrophytes and low amounts of TOC. The alternate dominance of these two species in the distal deeper assemblages seems to be mainly linked with the bottom oxygen availability, being C.(N.) angulata dominant in the most oxygen-depleted sediments and C. torosa dominant in higher oxygen conditions. Along the lakeshore area they are often discovered together with other prevailing species, such as Cypridopsis vidua that is common in very shallow to shallow (20-140 cm) sites with high TOC content, abundant macrophytes and algae, and Limnocythere inopinata, which dominates slightly deeper areas (around 150-210 cm) where the previous species are almost absent. The Spearman's rank correlation test showed significant positive correlation between some ostracods and macrophyte species.
