摘要
The morphology of ostracoda shells, such as size, shape, ornament and pore-system, overlap of valves, muscle scars, plough-like anterior-ventral, beak and hinge structure has a close relationship with the environment in which ostracods inhabit, and varies with the geography, climate (seasonal, latitudinal) , water depth, chemical condition of water, abundance of food, quantity of individuals and sex as well. Thus, a good identification and understanding of morphological features and functions of ostracods, will not only be helpful to reveal their living habits, and analysis their living environments but also promote the reliability of the study results of ontogeny, phylogeny and evolution of fossil ostracods.
