Quantifying species-environment relationships in non-marine Ostracoda for ecological and palaeoecological studies: Examples using Iberian data

Our results suggest that water chemistry (solute composition and concentration) and temperature are the factors to which non-marine ostracod species respond in a more clear and consistent way. Species-environment relationships modelled using the transfer-function approach of WA are strong for the above-mentioned variables, and therefore these models may be of great help in palaeoenvironmental reconstructions.
