Temporal and Bathymetric Resolution of Nautiloid Death Assemblages in Stratigraphically Condensed Oozes (New Caledonia)

Proposal Inclusion of the Family Nautilidae (Blainville, 1825) in Appendix II in accordance with Article II paragraph 2 (a) of the Convention and satisfying Criterion B in Annex 2a of Resolution Conf. 9.24 (Rev. CoP16)1. B. Proponents Fiji, India, Palau and the United States of America2 C. Supporting statement 1. Taxonomy 1.1 Class: Cephalopoda 1.2 Order: Nautilida Figure 1 Chambered nautilus over coral (USFWS) 1.3 Family: Nautilidae (Blainville, 1825) 1.4 All species in the Family Nautilidae,3 as follows: Allonautilus spp. (Ward & Saunders, 1997) Allonautilus perforatus (Conrad, 1949) Allonautilus scrobiculatus (Lightfoot, 1786) Nautilus spp. (Linnaeus, 1758) Nautilus belauensis (Saunders, 1981) Nautilus macromphalus (Sowerby, 1849) Nautilus pompilius (Linnaeus, 1758) Nautilus repertus (Iredale, 1944) 1 CITES listing criteria and definitions must be applied with flexibility and in context. This is consistent with the “Note” at the beginning of Annex 5 in Resolution Conf. 9.24 (Rev. CoP16): “Where numerical guidelines are cited in this Annex, they are presented only as examples, since it is impossible to give numerical values that are applicable to all taxa because of differences in their biology.” The definition of “decline” in Annex 5 is relevant to the determination of whether a species meets either criterion in Annex 2a of the resolution. Nonetheless, it is possible for a species to meet the criteria and qualify for listing in Appendix II even if it does not meet the specific parameters provided in the definition of “decline”, which is in fact more relevant for the inclusion of species in Appendix I. -

Cephalopod Guidelines
Reference Resources Caveats from AAALAC’s Council on Accreditation regarding this resource: Guidelines for the Care and Welfare of Cephalopods in Research– A consensus based on an initiative by CephRes, FELASA and the Boyd Group *This reference was adopted by the Council on Accreditation with the following clarification and exceptions: The AAALAC International Council on Accreditation has adopted the “Guidelines for the Care and Welfare of Cephalopods in Research- A consensus based on an initiative by CephRes, FELASA and the Boyd Group” as a Reference Resource with the following two clarifications and one exception: Clarification: The acceptance of these guidelines as a Reference Resource by AAALAC International pertains only to the technical information provided, and not the regulatory stipulations or legal implications (e.g., European Directive 2010/63/EU) presented in this article. AAALAC International considers the information regarding the humane care of cephalopods, including capture, transport, housing, handling, disease detection/ prevention/treatment, survival surgery, husbandry and euthanasia of these sentient and highly intelligent invertebrate marine animals to be appropriate to apply during site visits. Although there are no current regulations or guidelines requiring oversight of the use of invertebrate species in research, teaching or testing in many countries, adhering to the principles of the 3Rs, justifying their use for research, commitment of appropriate resources and institutional oversight (IACUC or equivalent oversight body) is recommended for research activities involving these species. Clarification: Page 13 (4.2, Monitoring water quality) suggests that seawater parameters should be monitored and recorded at least daily, and that recorded information concerning the parameters that are monitored should be stored for at least 5 years. -

Significance of the Suture Line in Cephalopod Taxonomy Revealed by 3D Morphometrics in the Modern Nautilids Nautilus and Allonau
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Signifcance of the suture line in cephalopod taxonomy revealed by 3D morphometrics in the modern nautilids Nautilus and Allonautilus Amane Tajika1,2*, Naoki Morimoto3 & Neil H. Landman1 Assessing the taxonomic importance of the suture line in shelled cephalopods is a key to better understanding the diversity of this group in Earth history. Because fossils are subject to taphonomic artifacts, an in-depth knowledge of well-preserved modern organisms is needed as an important reference. Here, we examine the suture line morphology of all known species of the modern cephalopods Nautilus and Allonautilus. We applied computed tomography and geometric morphometrics to quantify the suture line morphology as well as the conch geometry and septal spacing. Results reveal that the suture line and conch geometry are useful in distinguishing species, while septal spacing is less useful. We also constructed cluster trees to illustrate the similarity among species. The tree based on conch geometry in middle ontogeny is nearly congruent with those previously reconstructed based on molecular data. In addition, diferent geographical populations of the same species of Nautilus separate out in this tree. This suggests that genetically distinct (i.e., geographically isolated) populations of Nautilus can also be distinguished using conch geometry. Our results are applicable to closely related fossil cephalopods (nautilids), but may not apply to more distantly related forms (ammonoids). Te Cephalopoda are marine mollusks including both extinct (e.g., orthocerids, bactritoids, ammonoids, and belemnoids) and modern taxa (squids, octopuses, and nautiloids). Since their origin in the Cambrian1, they have played an important ecological role in the oceans, occupying most likely multiple trophic levels2–6. -
Shell of the Month by Dr. Rick Batt Nautilus Pompilius Linnaeus, 1758
Shell of the Month by Dr. Rick Batt Nautilus pompilius Linnaeus, 1758 (Chambered Nautilus) The Chambered Nautilus is a member of the family Nautilidae, the only living group of cephalopods that have an external shell. This family is all that remains of a long lineage of nautiloid cephalopods that originated back in the Cambrian Period, more than 485 million years ago. Nautiloid shells are superficially similar to those of ammonites, members of a more advanced group of cephalopods (ammonoids) that became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous Period about 66 million years ago. Because today’s Nautilus is the only modern analog for comparison, when I pursued my Doctoral research on ammonites I also needed to become an “expert” on all aspects of modern Nautilus. The shell of a Nautilus is composed of the mineral aragonite (nacre), which gives the shell’s interior its pearly luster, which can also be exposed by dissolving away the outer layer of the shell in acid to produce the “pearly Nautilus” shells common in shell craft. The Nautilus shell is coiled in a single plane (planispiral), with earlier whorls hidden or nearly hidden by the final whorl (we call these shells “involute”). The first picture shows two views of a typical Nautilus shell (US quarter for scale). The shell’s interior is divided into a series of chambers separated from each other by septa (singular “septum”). The second picture shows a Nautilus shell that has been sawed in half to show the internal details. The animal occupies the large living chamber at the end; the older part of the shell behind the last septum is called the phragmacone. -
Reprint with Additions Aims and Scope Topics in Geobiology Book Series
Reprint with additions Aims and Scope Topics in Geobiology Book Series Topics in Geobiology series treats geobiology – the broad discipline that covers the history of life on Earth. The series aims for high quality, scholarly volumes of original research as well as broad reviews. Recent volumes have showcased a variety of organisms including cephalopods, corals, and rodents. They discuss the biology of these organisms-their ecology, phylogeny, and mode of life – and in addition, their fossil record – their distribution in time and space. Other volumes are more theme based such as predator-prey relationships, skeletal mineralization, paleobiogeography, and approaches to high resolution stratigraphy, that cover a broad range of organisms. One theme that is at the heart of the series is the interplay between the history of life and the changing environment. This is treated in skeletal mineralization and how such skeletons record environmental signals and animal-sediment relationships in the marine environment. The series editors also welcome any comments or suggestions for future volumes. Series Editors Neil H.
