REQUESTS

Nigel Ainsworth Can you please keep sending me your reprints!

John Athersuch thanks all those people who have been kind enough to send reprints over the years, and please keep sending them.

Ray Bate is interested in receiving any publications concerned with Mesozoic and Tertiary lacustrine ostracods, particularly with respect to environmental matters.

Alwine Bertels will be very grateful to receive reprints of Cenozoic (middle Tertiary to Quaternary) fresh, brackish, and marine Ostracoda as well on the ecology of these microorganisms.

Ian Boomer is interested to hear of any work or references which relate to studies of ostracods from floodplain deposits, river channel fills, cutoffs, etc. (preferably but not necessarily from temperate regions), similarly, has anyone investigated living ostracods in relation to different flow regimes in rivers?

Anne Cohen has agreed to do the Ostracoda for the next edition of "Light's Manual of Intertidal Invertebrates of the Central California Coast". Since the book currently has no ostracode entry, I hope that a very generous key to the superfamilies and to the few known species may encourage some interest in identifying local ostracodes. I am looking forward to collecting and other help from Todd Oakley and Dawn Peterson. The editor, Jim Carlton, has agreed that I may enlist help (with full credit) from other ostracodologists, and I would sure welcome assistance, particularly with identification of the local Podocopa and suggestions of literature to include.

Gabriela Cusminsky would like to contact colleagues working on Tertiary, Quaternary, and Recent lacustrine ostracods.

Alicia Echevarria will acknowledge very much the receipt of reprints related to Tertiary lacustrine and marine ostracodes.

Laura Ferrero would be happy to receive papers concerning the systematics and ecology of fresh, brackish, and marine Quaternary and Recent ostracodes.

Stelios Galoukas is interested in receiving any published papers or any other information on Eastern Mediterranean ostracode faunas of all facies and all ages. I would appreciate any kind of information on the relationship of Ostracoda with cave environments.

Ulrich von Grafenstein would like to know of the ostracode workers using scuba diving during job or private. It would be a pleasure for me to exchange experience and to collect references for sampling devices, benthic data loggers, etc.

Sunit Gupta humbly requests all workers across the globe to kindly send me their offprints, because in my current work, one objective is to compile all existing literature on ostracods from known regions.

Joachim Harloff will be grateful if anyone sent him more recent publications on ostracodes.

Emi Ito If anybody has information on life histories (when do the eggs hatch and when do they mold?) of Cypridopsis vidua, Physocypria globula, Potamocypris smaragdina, Cyclocypris ampla, and common Candona species, I would like to hear from them.

Wajih A.K. Al-Jumaily would be happy to receive papers concerning the palaeogeography and palaeozoogeography of Indo-Pacific region and Mediterranean region during Late-Neogene and Quaternary.

Jan Kantorek would be grateful for any reprints on Recent freshwater ostracodes.

Robert Lundin and David Siveter request reprints of papers on Paleozoic ostracodes be sent to us as well as to appropriate contributors to the systematics section of the Treatise revision (published in Cypris 8).


U.B. Mallikarjuna looks forward to Post-Doctoral Fellowship/collaborative research work on Cretaceous marine, nonmarine, and early Tertiary (Paleocene) ostracodes from southern India. Any paper which deals with the sequence stratigraphy, pollution, and isotopic studies of ostracod faunas is highly solicited and requested.

M.S. Mannikeri solicits recent publications on Jurassic, Palaeogene, and Recent marine, nonmarine ostracodes and foraminifers from Indo-Pacific and Tethys region and interested in exchanging type material.

To-nu Meidla would be grateful for any reprints on Quaternary fresh and brackish water Ostracoda.

Steffen Mischke would like to contact colleagues working on Quaternary ostracodes from Central Asia. He would like to exchange specimens from this region.

Todd Oakley requests any myodocopids, especially those from deep seas or caves, and especially those NOT preserved using formalin, would be of great use for my molecular phylogenetic study. I would also welcome any opportunity to go on a deep sea collecting trip, or receive myodocopids or sediment from such a trip.

Abdelhamid Rossi will be extremely grateful to receive micropaleontological papers or data concerning Lower Cretaceous Ostracoda. If anyone has a copy or duplicate of Ellis and Messina Catalogue on paper or on CD, I would be really grateful to receive it.

Stephen Schellenberg would greatly appreciate any reprints regarding deep-sea Ostracoda, particularly Paleogene taxonomy/systematics and modern ecological data on any taxa. Also, if you "happen" to have deep-sea boxcore material laying around with good environmental data (e.g., temperature, salinity, etc.), I would love to talk!

Michael Schudack would like to contact any person who studies or knows something about fossil ostracods from the Baikal Rift area (literature, localities, etc.).

Pratap Singh requests reprints of ostracod papers of Mesozoic and Tertiary periods.

Alison Smith has been collecting a number of groundwater species from a variety of groundwater discharge habitats, and would be very interested to hear from anyone who is also finding these very small unusual forms. I would also like to hear from anyone who has found live specimens of Limnocythere (Limnocytherina) verrucosa Hoff or Limnocythere (Limnocytherina) friabilis Benson and McDonald.

Elizabeth Torres I request and would greatly appreciate any samples of myodocopid ostracode (especially cypridinids) preserved in 100% ethanol for DNA analysis.

Aurn. S. Vaidya would appreciate receiving any information, reprints, and samples concerned with Quaternary, marine and nonmarine ostracodes and forams from Indo-Pacific and Tethys regions. I am also interested in exchanging the type material.

Fred-Karsten Ziegler, Gerhard Roedder would be grateful to receive valves of Limburgina bilamellosa, L. dorsocarinata, L. uhlenbroeki, Orionina vaughani, Bradleya arata for taxonomic comparison. Address: Fred-K. Ziegler, Bonhoefferstr. 12, D-48151, Muenster, Germany.

Don Van Nieuwenhuise would appreciate receiving any information on reprints on ostracodes from the Pnto-Caspian region.
