Ostracode Research Activities in

MEXICO

Correspondent: Ana Luisa Carreño <anacar@servidor.unam.mx>

Carreño, Ana Luisa. I am working with Recent marine ostracodes from the equatorial off-shore Brazil (with Joao Carlos Coimbra Universidad Federal do Rio Grande do Sul). I am also continuing my long-term research on Baja California Tertiary calcareous microfauna and microflora (ostracoda, foraminifera and calcareous nannoplankton). My teaching activities include advising a M. Sc. research project (Guillermo, Alvarado V.) on the lacustrine ostracods and the paleoenvironmental reconstruction of Laguna de Babicora, Chihuahua, Mexico with the collaboration of Manuel Palacios-Fest (Department of Geosciences, University of Arizona) and a Bachelors thesis on foraminifera and ostracoda of the Type Locality of the Tepetate Formation, Baja California Sur, Mexico (Guerrero-Arenas, Rosalía).

Machain-Castillo, Ma. Luisa and Gío-Argáez, F. Raúl continue working on Quaternary ostracodes of the Mexican seas, especially in the diversity and distribution patterns of the continental shelf & coastal areas of Campeche Bay (with W.A. van den Bold). They are also working on the distribution Atlas & Maps of the ostracoda of Southern Gulf of Mexico and a project on microfossils (ostacodes, foraminifers and mollusks) assembalges of the Thalassia plains in the Yucatán Peninsula (with P.R. Krutak, B.K. Sen Gupta and L. C. Anderson). Teaching activities of María Luisa Machain-Castillo include supervision of F. R. Gío-Argáez in his PhD thesis entitled "Distibución y Ecología de los ostrácodos de la plataforma continental y zona costera del Estado de Campeche, México".
