Abstract

In recent decades, research on ostracodes has grown dramatically. While many aspects of the group have been investigated, this review focuses on the paleoenvironmental applications of ostracodes from marine and nonmarine environments. It is argued that while ostracodes have great potential as paleoenvironmental tools, much of that potential has not yet been fully realized because of our imperfect understanding of ostracode biology, taxonomy, systematics and ecology. Future developments will be sure to result from additional studies in these areas, and will also be effected by exchange of ideas with scientists working on related proxies. However, the flow of ideas should not be one-way; workers in other disciplines can also learn from the study of ostracodes.
