Special issue of the Bulletin of the Italian Paleontological Society, dedicated to the proceedings of the Primo Convegno degli Ostracodologi Italiani, Held in memory of Professor Giuliano Ruggieri, this volume brings together over 20 international scientific contributions on ostracods, ranging from taxonomy to biostratigraphy, from paleoecology to geographic distribution, with studies on areas ranging from the Mediterranean to Africa, from Asia to Australia.

A fundamental reference for paleontologists, micropaleontologists, and researchers specializing in the study of ostracods.
