2002
Holmes, J.A. | Chivas, A.R.
Book description: Reconstructing past environments is a principal strategy by which to understand the nature and evolution of geophysical phenomena. Ostracods, small aquatic crustaceans that secrete calcite shells or valves, have multiple values for scientists reconstructing Quaternary environments. The Ostracoda: Applications in Quaternary Research presents the first integrated approach to the Ostracoda and their application in Quaternary environmental reconstruction. Features include: • A comprehensive review of the biology, taxonomy, and ecology of ostracods. • Detailed coverage of ostracod paleoecology from marine, marginal-marine, and non-marine environments. • State-of-the-art reviews of ostracod shell chemistry. • Emphasis on the link between living and fossil ostracods, and its importance to paleoenvironmental reconstruction.
