Short summary
We grew three species of freshwater ostracods in the laboratory to document their development from eggs to adults. By comparing each stage of growth, we found significant differences in body shape, egg size, and growth patterns that help distinguish closely related species. Since their shells are often preserved in lake and pond sediments, our results provide useful reference data for studies of modern aquatic ecosystems and past environmental changes.
