Welcome to Ostracoda Wiki

Ostracodology is a research discipline of studying the animal group of Ostracoda. More than 6500 peer-reviewed manuscripts in English have been published since 1945 mentioning the word "ostracod" in the title, abstract and/or key words. And many more (peer-reviewed) manuscripts have been written in other languages. While scientific terms are often similar in many languages, some expressions are completely different. To enhance international communication between researchers from different countries a dictionary is necessary.

Ostracoda-Wiki will elaborate a translation of scientific terms in various languages by members of the International Research Group on Ostracoda.
