title = "Mutual Climatic Range Methods for Quaternary Ostracods",
abstract = "The development of Mutual Climatic Range (MCR) methods for ostracods has included the estimation of marine bottom-water palaeotemperatures, but it has focused mainly on the use of non-marine ostracods to infer past air temperatures. The Delorme analogue MCR method, using only those components of a fossil assemblage that co-exist today, has yielded mean annual air temperature and annual precipitation estimates for North American Quaternary sites. The Mutual Ostracod Temperature Range (MOTR) non-analogue MCR method utilises all species in a fossil assemblage; calibrations based on a European database have been applied to the estimation of mean July and January air temperatures for English Pleistocene sites. These approaches are reviewed and their relative merits discussed; both yield results comparable to those of other proxies such as the beetle MCR method. A revised calibration table for European non-marine ostracods is provided, and new MOTR estimates for English glacial and interglacial sites are presented.",

note = "Funding Information: We are grateful to Jean-Marc Gagnon and Judith Price at the Canadian Museum of Nature, Gatineau, for access to the Delorme database and collection; to Denis Delorme, we express our gratitude and admiration for his diligent collection and curation of this very substantial and significant resource. The NODE database began as part of the EU project Evolutionary Ecology of Reproductive Modes in Non-marine Ostracoda (Human Capital & Mobility Programme, 1994–1996) and owes a substantial part of its development to the members of that project, including Angel Baltan{\'a}s, Roger Butlin, Dan Danielopol, Walter Geiger, Huw Griffiths, David J. Horne, Koen Martens, Paulo Menozzi, Gianmarco Paris and several other {\textquoteleft}mobile elements{\textquoteright}. Subsequent expansion of NODE has been supported by EU projects Fauna Europaea (2000–2004) and From sex to asex: A case study on interactions between sexual and asexual reproduction (Marie Curie Research and Training Network, 2004–2008). We gratefully acknowledge the provision of additional distributional data for other regions by Steffen Mischke, Alison Smith, Robin Smith, Thijs van der Meeren and Sebastian Wetterich. We also thank Tim Atkinson, Steve Brooks, Russell Coope, Koen Martens, Alison Smith and John Whittaker for valuable discussions of ostracod MCR approaches. ",
