Ostracode Research Activities inPOLAND
Correspondent: Janina Szczechura <janina.s@twarda.pan.pl>
Klimowicz, Malgorzata. no information
Krzyminska, Jarmila. Jarmila is still engaged in her studies on Quaternary fauna (including ostracodes) from the southern Baltic Sea.
Malec, Jan. Jan is continuing his studies on the Lower and Middle Devonian ostracodes from the Holy Cross Mountains, as well as works on the Upper Silurian ostracodes of this area.
Namiotko, Tadeusz. Tadeusz, after six-month stay in Chatham (from December 1977 to June 1988), where he was contributing to the development of the NODE database (Non-marine Ostracod Distribution in Europe), co-ordinated by David J. Horne, continues his work on ecology, taxonomy and distribution of living and subfossil (Quaternary) European non-marine ostracodes. Works in progress: 1) Changes in Holocene assemblages of profundal lacustrine Ostracoda due to eutrophication process; 2) Morphology, geographical distribution and ecology of Cryptocandona species (with Dan L. Danielopol, Pierre Marmonier and Angel Baltanas); 3) Pleistocene ostracodes from lacustrine chalk of Kruklanki, Northern Poland (with Janina Szczechura).
Nehring-Lefeld, Maria. Maria is retired, however she completes data on Devonian ostracodes from Poland, which will be presented in Atlas of the Devonian fossils from Poland.
Olempska, Ewa. Ewa is continuing her work on Devonian entomozoaceans from the Holy Cross Montains and, at the same time, she examines Palaeozoic Microcheilinella species and its relationship to Mesozoic Cardobairdia. In cooperation with Janusz Blaszyk she works on Callovian ostracodes from Lukow outcrop, eastern Poland.
Paruch-Kulczycka, Jolanta. Jolanta is still busy with preparation of exhibitions, including microfossils, in the Geological Museum of the Polish Geological Institute, in Warsaw. She also expects to continue her studies on the Middle Miocene ostracodes of Poland.
Sell, Jerzy. no information
Smolen, Jolanta. Jolanta collected fresh-water ostracodes of uppermost Jurassic (Tithonian) from boreholes, from northwestern Poland. Now she is curator of the Jurassic microfaunal collections in the Polish Geological Institute, in Warsaw.
Sywula, Tadeusz. no information.
Szczechura, Janina. Janina is currently dealing with the Middle Miocene ostracodes of the Carpathian Foredeep, now in collaboration with Giuseppe Aiello, of the University of Naple, who stays for seven month in the Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences, in Warsaw. Within ostracodes collected from the upper part of the Middle Miocene of the Upper Silesia there are recognised more than one hundred ostracode species. Their taxonomy, origin and environment are the main problems worth to be resolved. At the same she coworks with Tadeusz Namiotko on the subfossil (Pleistocene) lacustrine ostracodes of northern Poland. Paper almost ready to be pressed concerns Middle Miocene ostracodes from boreholes from the Carpathian Foredeep, containing typical, known bathyal forms as well as those characteristic of areas with hydrothermal seeps. She is supervisor of Ph. D. thesis by Julia Didenko (Museum of Natural History, in Lvov) on Upper Cretaceous ostracodes from Ukraine (so far collected ostracodes are deep-water, known of the other areas of Europe).
