貝形虫類の殻の装飾が捕食のされ方に与える影響について。
殻に装飾がある種とない種を比較し、両者で捕食痕がよく見られる部位に差があることを明らかにしています。
化石記録も豊富な貝形虫類、その進化史を捕食-被捕食の関係の視点から理解する上で重要な研究です。

I found a whole new order of creature in the garden this week: Ostracoda! Dozens of these tiny crustaceans were swimming around in a sunken upside-down bin lid we use as a ground level water feature in the back corner of our pocket meadow. @norfolknats.bsky.social

Outside science, Olga loves hiking and tennis, is super social, and co-manages ICDP ECN social media with Katleen. Add Latino music and dancing, and you’ve got her ideal off-time — though chances are she’s currently in the field or enthusiastically talking about Ostracoda and Foraminifera :)

Before joining the ICDP ECR Network, Olga was also part of the PAGES ECN. She also co-organizes the European School on Ostracoda every year — a great place to discover just how fascinating these tiny crustaceans are.
