Abstract
Abstracts of Theses: Succession and Distribution of Ostracoda in Highway Borrow PIT Ponds of Central Alberta
Two species of Cypridinae, two species of Cypridopsinae, two species of Cyclocypris, five species of Candona, one species of Ilyocypris and one species of Notodromas are recognized in the borrow-pit ostracode community.
A succession of dominant species, Ilyocypris bradyi, Ptamocypris smaragdina, Cypridopsis vidua, Cyclocypris serena, Candona spp., Cyclocypris ovum, and Notodromas monacha, is evident in the 32 borrow-pit ponds sampled seasonally.
Environmental data are used to support the proposed succession as well as to define optimum ranges of the successional species for 14 selected physico-chemical factors.
Quantitative seasonal and pond distributions of the dominant species are given.
The ostracode succession is considered as a useful tool in making ecological and paleoecological diagnoses in terms of changes in the physico-chemical environment.
