Devonian ostracods from western Canada — palaeozoogeographic implications

Abstract

The stratigraphical significance, evolutionary pathways and distribution patterns of Devonian (with emphasis on Middle Devonian)

Notes on beyrichiacean ostracodes from the Early Devonian of NW Turkey andtheir palaeobiogeographical relations

“…The existing information on the Early Devonian beyrichiacean ostracode faunas was summarised, e.g., by Polenova (1971), Groos-Uffenorde (1983), Berdan (1990), and Becker and Franke (2012). The Palaeozoic benthic shallow-water and world-wide distributed ostracode faunas may be used in intercontinental correlation and palaeogeographical reconstructions (Schallreuter et al, 1985;Siveter, 1989;Vannier et al, 1989;Crasquin-Soleau et al, 2001;Crasquin-Soleau and Kershaw, 2005;Becker and Braun, 2008;Dojen, 2009;Perrier and Siveter, 2013;Olempska et al, 2015).…”

Late Devonian global ostracod palaeobiogeography

“…Lethiers et al . ; Becker & Braun ). In Western Europe, ostracods are abundant in the Upper Devonian of France (e.g.…”

“…Casier & Lethiers 1998a;Knox & Gordon 1999;Casier et al 2006) and Western and Northern Canada (e.g. Lethiers et al 1986;Becker & Braun 2008). In Western Europe, ostracods are abundant in the Upper Devonian of France (e.g.…”

“…However, there have been only a few studies on the palaeogeography of Devonian ostracods (e.g. Lethiers & Raymond 1991;Becker & Braun 2008) since Lethiers (1983), who systematically summarized the distribution of ostracod faunas and divided the ostracod provinces in the Late Devonian.…”

Late Devonian benthic ostracods from western Junggar, NW China: Implications for palaeoenvironmental reconstruction

“…They are very sensitive to the ambient environment conditions and variations, such as salinity, bathymetry, temperature, hydrodynamics, oxygenation, and nutrients (Casier & Olempska, ; Jones, ; Maillet et al, ; Olempska & Belka, ; Racheboeuf et al, ). Ostracods may offer special insights into the characteristics and evolution of the Devonian global bioenvironmental events (Becker & Braun, ; Lethiers & Raymond, ; Song & Gong, ).…”
