Short summary
We revisited a 19th-century taxonomic study on Hong Kong marine ostracods (the first study on Chinese marine ostracods) to compare it with a 21st-century survey. We found substantial differences in species, likely related to differences in pollution and climate between the 19th and 21st centuries. This discovery highlights the importance of historical ecology. Early natural historians documented "natural baseline" ecosystems before the substantial human presence with industrialization.
