Licence The EGCD was first assembled in February 2012. This data set derives from the assembly of 4 individual databases: 1) Niphargidae (authors: C. Fiser & M. Zagmajster); 2) Copepoda (authors: D. Galassi & F. Stoch); 3) Ostracoda (author: P. Marmonier); 4) Other crustacean groups (authors: D. Eme & F. Malard). Yet, full access to the EGCD is not possible but request to use individual databases can be addressed directly to the authors.
