SPRINGER m SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 367 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined 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." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoo/ogy Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world cf science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

Abstract A checklist of shallow (to 60 m depth) reef fishes is provided for the Bird’s Head Peninsula region of West Papua, Indonesia. The area, which occupies the extreme western end of New Guinea, contains the world’s most diverse assemblage of coral reef fishes. The current checklist, which includes both historical records and recent survey results, includes 1,511 species in 451 genera and 111 families. Respective species totals for the three main coral reef areas – Raja Ampat Islands, Fakfak-Kaimana coast, and Cenderawasih Bay – are 1320, 995, and 877. In addition to its extraordinary species diversity, the region exhibits a remarkable level of endemism considering its relatively small area. A total of 26 species in 14 families are currently considered to be confined to the region. Introduction and finally a complex geologic past highlighted The region consisting of eastern Indonesia, East by shifting island arcs, oceanic plate collisions, Timor, Sabah, Philippines, Papua New Guinea, and widely fluctuating sea levels (Polhemus and the Solomon Islands is the global centre of 2007). reef fish diversity (Allen 2008).

  • Phylogeny of the Plesiopidae (Pisces: Perciformes) with Evidence for the Inclusion of the Acanthoclinidae
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 52(1): 284-326,1993 PHYLOGENY OF THE PLESIOPIDAE (PISCES: PERCIFORMES) WITH EVIDENCE FOR THE INCLUSION OF THE ACANTHOCLINIDAE Randall D. Mooi ABSTRACT Cladistic methods are used to investigate phylogenetic relationships of the Indo-Pacific marine fish family Plesiopidae. Using multiple outgroups, osteological and myological char- acters indicate that plesiopids are monophyletic only with the inclusion of the Acanthoclinidae as the sister group to the genus Plesiops. A new classification lowers the Acanthoclinidae to subfamilial rank, and other monophyletic units are recognized at this same rank to produce the following phylogenctically sequenced classification (included genera in parentheses): Tra- chinopinae (Trachinops), Assessorinae (Assessor), Paraplesiopinae (Paraplesiops, Callople- siops, Steeneichthys), Fraudellinae (Fraudella), Plesiopinae (Plesiops), Acanthoclininae (Acan- thaclinus. Belaneplerygian. Behaps, Acanthoplesiops). This phylogeny suggests that egg mass guarding is plesiomorphic for the family, and that oral incubation in Assessor is autapo- morphic. A diagnosis for the newly defined family is provided. The family Plesiopidae, commonly called longfins, prettyfins, devilfishes, or roundheads, comprises a morphologically diverse group of percoid fishes found in the Indo-Pacific region. There are about 30 species in the family as currently recognized. Adult size ranges from 30 to 300 mm in standard length, and body form varies from narrow and elongate to bulky and heavy bodied. The species also vary considerably in behavior, from diurnal schooling to nocturnal solitary habits. Most are found in relatively shallow water (to 30 m) on coral or rocky reefs. The group is unusual among marine percoids in having demersal eggs with adhesive filaments, characteristic of only four other percoid families: Acantho- clinidae, Grammatidae, Opistognathidae, Pseudochromidae.

  • Regional Biosecurity Plan for Micronesia and Hawaii Volume II
    Regional Biosecurity Plan for Micronesia and Hawaii Volume II Prepared by: University of Guam and the Secretariat of the Pacific Community 2014 This plan was prepared in conjunction with representatives from various countries at various levels including federal/national, state/territory/commonwealth, industry, and non-governmental organizations and was generously funded and supported by the Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) and Headquarters, Marine Corps. MBP PHASE 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY NISC Executive Summary Prepared by the National Invasive Species Council On March 7th, 2007 the U.S. Department of Navy (DoN) issued a Notice of Intent to prepare an “Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)/Overseas Environmental Impact Statement (OEIS)” for the “Relocation of U.S. Marine Corps Forces to Guam, Enhancement of Infrastructure and Logistic Capabilities, Improvement of Pier/Waterfront Infrastructure for Transient U.S. Navy Nuclear Aircraft Carrier (CVN) at Naval Base Guam, and Placement of a U.S. Army Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Task Force in Guam”. This relocation effort has become known as the “build-up”. In considering some of the environmental consequences of such an undertaking, it quickly became apparent that one of the primary regional concerns of such a move was the potential for unintentional movement of invasive species to new locations in the region. Guam has already suffered the eradication of many of its native species due to the introduction of brown treesnakes and many other invasive plants, animals and pathogens cause tremendous damage to its economy and marine, freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems. DoN, in consultation and concurrence with relevant federal and territorial regulatory entities, determined that there was a need to develop a biosecurity plan to address these concerns.
