    J. LAURENS BARNt Keys to the Hawaiian Marine Gammaridea, 0-30 Meters SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY NUMBER 58 SERIAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION The emphasis upon publications as a means of diffusing knowledge was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. In his formal plan for the Insti- tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge not strictly professional." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Z0°l°iy Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of professional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields. Each publica- tion is distributed by mailing lists to libraries, laboratories, institutes, and interested specialists throughout the world. Individual copies may be obtained from the Smith- sonian Institution Press as long as stocks are available. S.

  • Amphipoda, Aoridae), from the East Coast of India
    Author Version : Zootaxa, vol.4544(1); 2019; 119-124 A new species of Grandidierella Coutière, 1904, G. nioensis sp. nov. (Amphipoda, Aoridae), from the east coast of India. ALAN A. MYERS1, RAYADURGA A. SREEPADA2 & SUSHANT V. SANAYE2 1School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences, University College Cork, Cork Enterprise Centre, Distillery Fields, North Mall, Cork, Ireland. 2Aquaculture Laboratory, CSIR-National Institute of Oceanography, Dona Paula, Goa – 403004, India Abstract A new species of Grandidierella Coutière, 1904, G. nioensis sp. nov. is described from the east coast of India. It is close to G. mahafalensis Coutière, 1904, from Madagascar and G. halophilus Wongkamhaeng, Pholpunthin & Azman 2012 from Thailand. A key is provided to facilitate the identification of species in the Grandidierella mahafalensis Coutière 1904 species-complex. Key words: Taxonomy, Crustacea, Amphipoda, India, new species, Grandidierella. 1 Introduction The aorid genus Grandidierella currently contains over forty described species worldwide. Of these, eight species, Grandidierella megnae (Giles, 1888); G. gilesi Chilton, 1921; G. macronyx Barnard, 1935; G. gravipes Barnard, 1935; G. lignorum Barnard, 1935; G. bonnieroides Stephensen, 1948; G. exilis Myers, 1981 and G. trispinosa Bano and Kazmi, 2010, have been recorded from the Indian Ocean region. They are detritus feeders and in some cases can be opportunistic predators. They generally occur in areas high in silt, which makes some species adaptable to fouling (Jourde et al., 2013; Lo Brutto et al., 2016). It also makes them amenable to cultivation as aquaculture fish-food. Provision of nutritionally balanced live feeds for early stages of fish plays a pivotal role in successful rearing of commercially important finfish and shellfish species.

  • 1 Amphipoda of the Northeast Pacific (Equator to Aleutians, Intertidal to Abyss): IX. Photoidea
    Amphipoda of the Northeast Pacific (Equator to Aleutians, intertidal to abyss): IX. Photoidea - a review Donald B. Cadien, LACSD 22 July 2004 (revised 21 May 2015) Preface The purpose of this review is to bring together information on all of the species reported to occur in the NEP fauna. It is not a straight path to the identification of your unknown animal. It is a resource guide to assist you in making the required identification in full knowledge of what the possibilities are. Never forget that there are other, as yet unreported species from the coverage area; some described, some new to science. The natural world is wonderfully diverse, and we have just scratched its surface. Introduction to the Photoidea Over more than a century the position of the photids has been in dispute. Their separation was recommended by Boeck (1871), a position maintained by Stebbing (1906). Others have relegated the photids to the synonymy of the isaeids, and taxa considered here as photids have been listed as members of the Family Isaeidae in most west coast literature (i.e. J. L. Barnard 1969a, Conlan 1983). J. L. Barnard further combined both families, along with the Aoridae, into an expanded Corophiidae. The cladistic examination of the corophioid amphipods by Myers and Lowry (2003) offered support to the separation of the photids from the isaeids, although the composition of the photids was not the same as viewed by Stebbing or other earlier authors. The cladistic analysis indicated the Isaeidae were a very small clade separated at superfamily level from the photids, the neomegamphopids, and the caprellids within the infraorder Caprellida.

Biodiversity Data Journal 6: e22622. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.6.e22622 Abstract Background Alacranes Reef was declared as a National Marine Park in 1994. Since then, many efforts have been made to inventory its biodiversity. However, groups such as amphipods have been underestimated or not considered when benthic invertebrates were inventoried. Here we present a dataset that contributes to the knowledge of benthic amphipods (Crustacea, Peracarida) from the inner lagoon habitats from the Alacranes Reef National Park, the largest coral reef ecosystem in the Gulf of Mexico. The dataset contains information on records collected from 2009 to 2011.
