This paper revises the response of freshwater ostracods to different environmental
conditions and anthropogenic impacts, with a worldwide overview of the potential use of …

Abstract High Rate Algal Ponds (HRAPs) can provide economical and efficient near tertiary-
level wastewater (WW) treatment, with the nutrients recovered as algal biomass. HRAP …

Ostracoda (microscopic, aquatic Crustacea) from brackish waters have a great potential for
ecological monitoring and palaeoenvironmental analyses in highly variable environments …

We review the diversity of freshwater organisms in the Mediterranean Basin (hereafter Med),
particularly from streams and rivers. We present available information on the richness …

Toxic compounds may interfere with the genetic constitution of populations, either directly
through mutagenic activity, or indirectly via population-mediated processes (ie selection …

In this paper, we develop and study a stochastic model for the competition of three species
with a generalized dose–response function in a polluted environment. We first carry out the …

Benthic foraminifera can be used as environmental bioindicators, especially in polluted
environments where their sensitivity to pollutants may be expressed by a modification in the …

With current concerns over issues such as global warming, the use of palaeoecological data
to reconstruct past environments has gained a special significance, but much of the work on …

Ostracods may be excellent organisms to use as indicators of water quality, but such an idea
requires detailed knowledge about their ecology, distribution, biology, and habitat …

A general introduction to the Ostracoda is presented. Following an outline of
ostracodological activity, the characteristic features of the Quaternary ostracods are …
