“…Recently, Yasuhara et al (2009c) conducted an intensive taxonomic study in the western North Atlantic Ocean, where they de− scribed 28 new species and revised taxonomy of several common species to reduce taxonomic uncertainty in the literature. There are a few more studies on taxonomy and distribution of North Atlantic deep−sea ostracodes (Rosenfeld and Bein 1978;Benson et al 1983;Cronin 1983;Dingle and Lord 1990;Coles et al 1996;Alvarez Zarikian 2009). In the Nordic Seas, Whatley and his colleagues inten− sively studied Greenland Sea deep−sea ostracods in the late 1990s Whatley et al 1998).…”

Deep−sea benthic Ostracoda (Crustacea) in Icelandic waters are poorly known. Here we report deep−sea ostracode assemblages from the multiple core (MUC) and the epibenthic sledge (EBS) samples collected from Icelandic waters by the first cruise of the IceAGE (Icelandic Marine Animals: Genetics and Ecology) project. Samples from shelf− −edge and lower−bathyal working areas are examined. The results show (1) distinct MUC and EBS faunas due to the large difference in mesh size of MUC and EBS; and (2) distinct shelf−edge and lower−bathyal ostracode faunas. Such remarkable faunal turnover from shelf to bathyal depths is similar to the faunal turnovers reported from depth transects in the adja− cent regions of the western North Atlantic Ocean, the Greenland Sea, and the North Sea, but, at the same time, there are certain differences in the faunal composition between the Icelandic waters and these adjacent regions. In addition, we illustrate many Icelandic deep−sea ostracode species with high−resolution scanning electron microscopy and com− posite all−in−focus stereomicroscopic images for the first time. These results provide impor− tant basic information on deep−sea ostracode research and biogeography of this important region connecting North Atlantic proper and Nordic Seas.

“…Like benthic foraminifers, ostracods are used to reconstruct past environmental and oceanographic conditions because their distribution is controlled by physical and chemical characteristics of bottom water (Dingle and Lord, 1990;Corrège, 1993;Ayress et al, 1997;Cronin et al, 1999;Alvarez Zarikian et al, 2009;Yasuhara et al, 2009a). During Expedition 339, ostracods were studied from most sites and were identified using taxonomic assignments by Whatley and Coles (1987), Coles and Whately (1989), Alvarez Zarikian (2009), and Yasuhara et al (2009b).…”

“…Assemblages of different taxonomic composition inhabit different depths, according to the water masses present (Dingle & Lord, 1990;Ayress et al, 1997). Numerous studies have shown that ostracodes are good indicators of temperature, dissolved oxygen, circulation and sea level changes, for most species are sensitive to hydrologic characteristics .…”

-Faunal and geochemical aspects of Quaternary deep sea ostracodes from three cores in the Santos Basin, Brazilian Southeast continental margin, are studied. The assemblages have similarities to others, not only from the Atlantic but also those found in the Pacific ocean. Geochemical analyses of trace elements in ostracodes and stable isotopes in foraminifers were employed to assess environmental changes and oceanographic events over a period of approximately 30 Ka. Both faunistic and geochemical data were considered together to determine the relationship between faunal turnovers and Late Quaternary events, such as the LGM and the Pleistocene/ Holocene limit.
