As the number of scientists working on echinoderms is not large, a journal or society to facilitate communication has never developed. Thus the founding of the Echinoderm Newsletter in 1968 by David Pawson and Maureen Downey of the Smithsonian Institution was an important contribution to progress in echinoderm biology. David noted in the first newsletter "We believe that the newsletter should be helpful in providing an informal means of communication between specialists." His belief was well founded as the issues over the years have provided not only information itselfbut have led to interaction and collaboration of echinoderm biologists.

These beds reach their greatest thickness in depressions between topographic highs and thin towards, and finally disappear on, the crests. The early Late Kimmeridgian graded packstone–bindstone alternations represent the earliest plattenkalk occurrence in southern Germany. The undisturbed lamination of the sediment strongly points to oxygen-free conditions on the seafloor and within the sediment, inimical to higher forms of life. The plattenkalk contains a diverse biota of benthic and nektonic organisms. Excavation of a 13 cm thick plattenkalk unit across an area of 80 m2 produced 3500 fossils, which, with the exception of the bivalve Aulacomyella, exhibit a random stratigraphic distribution. Two-thirds of the individuals had a benthic mode of life attached to hard substrate. This seems to contradict the evidence of oxygen-free conditions on the sea floor, such as undisturbed lamination, presence of articulated skeletons, and preservation of soft parts.

C’est tout d’abord grâce au programme vERSO (Ecosystem Responses to global change : a multiscale approach in the Southern Ocean) que ce travail a été possible, mais aussi grâce aux collaborations construites avant et pendant ce travail. Cette thèse a aussi été l’occasion de continuer à aller travailler sur le terrain des hautes latitudes à plusieurs reprises pour collecter les échantillons et rencontrer de nouveaux collègues. Par le biais de ces trois missions de recherches et des nombreuses conférences auxquelles j’ai activement participé à travers le monde, j’ai beaucoup appris, tant scientifiquement qu’humainement.

Around 1,500 living species of starfish occur on the seabed in all the world's oceans, from the tropics to subzero polar waters. They are found from the intertidal zone down to abyssal depths, 6,000m below the surface. Starfish typically have a central disc and five arms, though some species have a larger number of arms. The aboral or upper surface may be smooth, granular or spiny, and is covered with overlapping plates.

  • Functional Anatomy and Mode of Life of the Latest Jurassic Crinoid Saccocoma
    Functional anatomy and mode of life of the latest Jurassic crinoid Saccocoma MICHAŁ BRODACKI Brodacki, M. 2006. Functional anatomy and mode of life of the latest Jurassic crinoid Saccocoma. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 51 (2): 261–270. Loose elements of the roveacrinid Saccocoma from the Tithonian red Rogoża Coquina, Rogoźnik, Pieniny Klippen Belt, Poland, are used to test the contradictory opinions on the mode of life of Saccocoma. The investigated elements belong to three morphological groups, which represent at least two separate species: S. tenella, S. vernioryi, and a third form, whose brachials resemble those of S. vernioryi but are equipped with wings of different shape. The geometry of brachials’ articu− lar surfaces reveals that the arms of Saccocoma were relatively inflexible in their proximal part and left the cup at an angle of no more than 45°, then spread gradually to the sides. There is no evidence that the wings were permanently oriented in either horizontal or vertical position, as proposed by two different benthic life−style hypotheses. The first secundibrachial was probably more similar to the first primibrachial than to the third secundibrachial, in contrast to the traditional assump− tion. The winged parts of the arms were too close to the cup and presumably too stiff to propel the animal in the water effi− ciently. Swimming was probably achieved by movements of the distal, finely branched parts of the arms. The non− horizontal attitude of the winged parts of the arms is also not entirely consistent with the assumption that they functioned as a parachute. Moreover, the wings added some weight and thus increased the energy costs associated with swimming.

  • Reproductive Cycle of E Cycle of Mellita Quinquiesperf
    Reproductive cycle of Mellita quinquiesperforata (Leske) (Echinodermata, Echinoidea) in two contrasting beach environments Yara A. G. Tavares & Carlos A. Borzone Centro de Estudos do Mar, Universidade Federal do Paraná. Avenida Beira Mar, Caixa Postal 50002, 832555-000 Pontal do Paraná, Paraná, Brasil. E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT. The reproductive cycle of the irregular echinoid Mellita quinquiesperforata (Leske, 1778) was studied in populations from two sand beaches with different morphodynamic conditions in Parana coast, from February 1992 through July 1994. Gametogenesis was described by histological and gonad index methods and the differ- ences between both populations were observed in the extension of nutrient storage and spawning period. Both populations exhibited a main reproductive period during spring/summer and a nutrient storage period during autumn/winter months. The spawning period at the intermediate-dissipative beach was shorter than at the reflective beach. Meanwhile, a nutrient storage stage was more extensive in the latter. Gonad index varied between both sexes and it was influenced by population characteristics. Different strategies in allocation of resources between maintenance and reproduction effort (oocyte size) confirm the high adaptive plasticity developed by this species to live in contrasting beach environments. KEY WORDS. Reproductive plasticity; sand dollar; sandy beach. RESUMO. Reprodução de Mellita quinquiesperforata (Leske) (Echinodermatamata, Echinoidea) em dois ecossistemas praiais contrastantes. O ciclo reprodutivo do equinóide irregular Mellita quinquiesperforata (Leske, 1778) foi estudado em populações de duas praias com diferentes condições morfodinâmicas na costa paranaense, de fevereiro de 1992 a julho de 1994. A gametogênese foi descrita pela análise histológica das gônadas e pela variação do índice gonadal.
