Keys to the Hawaiian Marine Gammaridea, 0-30 Meters
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.

Editorial note On the publication “On the current state of taxonomy of the Baikal Lake amphipods (Crustacea, Amphipoda) and the typological ways of constructing their system” by V.V. Takhteev In this issue we present an extensive article prepared by Prof. Vadim V. Takhteev, which is based on his long time effort in the study of diversity of amphipods in Lake Baikal and its watershed. This paper is highly polemical and may even seem either archaic or heretical in the time of domination of the phylogenetic paradigms in systematics. The author advocates classical morphological taxonomy, which own tradition, methods (disregarding whether we call it typology or not) and the language are significantly older than the modern phylogenetic approach. -

(Eds) (2009) Benthic Amphipoda (Crustacea: Peracarida) of the Great Barrier Reef, Australia. Zootaxa, 2260, 1–930. Abstract In the Melita group, new records of Dulichiella pacifica Lowry & Springthorpe are reported from the Great Barrier Reef. The record of Dulichiella australis (Haswell) from the GBR is rejected. The genus Melita (M. myersi G. Karaman and M. sampsonae sp. nov.) is reported from the GBR for the first time. The genus Tegano Barnard & Karaman is amended and reported from Australian (T. atkinsae sp. nov.), New Caledonian (T. levis (Stock & Iliffe)) and Japanese (T. shiodamari (Yamato)) waters for the first time. Key words: Crustacea, Amphipoda, Melitidae, Melita group, Great Barrier Reef, Australia, taxonomy, new species, Dulichiella pacifica, Melita sampsonae, Melita myersi, Tegano atkinsae Introduction The recent description of the Maeridae Krapp-Schickel, 2008 excluded 40 genera from the Melitidae (Krapp- Schickel 2008; Lowry & Hughes 2009). This still leaves about 45 genera in four or five groups within the Melitidae (sensu lato). The Melita group of 22 genera is mainly characterised by: a laterally compressed body; small, dorsal robust setae on urosomite 2; a basofacial seta on the peduncle of uropod 1; a scale-like inner ramus; and elongate outer ramus on uropod 3 which is 1– or 2–articulate, with article 2, when present, short or long, never greatly elongate. -

Epischura baicalensis Sars is a dominant pelagic species of Lake Baikal zooplankton. This is endemic to Lake Baikal and inhabits the entire water column. It produces two generations per year: the winter - spring and the summer. These copepods develop under different ecological conditions and vary in the duration of life stages, reproduction time, maturation of sex products and adult males and females lifespan. The total life period of the animals from each generation is one year. One female can produce 10 egg sacks every 10 - 20 days during its life time. -

Unlike most estuarine amphipods studied to date which are hyperosmotic regulators, G. chevreuxi is a hyper- hyposmotic regulator. The hyperosmotic gradient maintained by G. chevreuxi in dilute media is very low (~120mmol.L-1), which has been interpreted as evidence of freshwater ancestry among the Crustacea. Salinity acclimation did not appear to affect heart rate or pleopod beat frequency. The gill cells responsible for ion uptake appeared to be smaller in high salinities or distorted. -
First Observations on the Phylogeny of the Families Gammaridae
J N H, 2003, 37, 20, 2461–2486 First observations on the phylogeny of the families Gammaridae, Crangonyctidae, Melitidae, Niphargidae, Megaluropidae and Oedicerotidae (Amphipoda, Crustacea), using small subunit rDNA gene sequences ULRIKE ENGLISCH†‡, CHARLES OLIVER COLEMAN‡ and JOHANN WOLFGANG WA¨ GELE‡ †Lehrstuhl fu¨r Spezielle Zoologie, Ruhr-Universita¨t Bochum, 44780 Bochum, Germany; e-mail: [email protected] ‡Humboldt-Universita¨t zu Belrin, Museum fu¨r Naturkunde, Institut fu¨r Systematische Zoologie, 10099 Berlin, Germany (Accepted 21 February 2002) This study examines amphipod phylogeny based on small subunit (18S) rDNA sequence data. Complete sequences of 25 species representing six families were used to test the phylogenetic information content of this gene for reconstruction of amphipod phylogeny. The alignment proved to be informative for most of the studied taxa. The monophyly of the families Gammaridae, Crangonyctidae, Niphargidae and Oedicerotidae is supported. The Melitidae are not monophyletic in the reconstructed topologies, but weak molecular evidence for the monophyly of this group could be observed in spectra of supporting positions. A close relationship of Gammaridae+Melitidae or Gammaridae+Crangonyctidae is not supported, rather there are supporting positions for the incompatible sister-group relationship (Gammaridae+Niphargidae) and (Crangonyctidae+Niphargidae). The molecular evidence is in favour of the latter relationship. The evolution of cephalothoracic apodemes is discussed in the light of other phylogenetic hypotheses resulting from molecular data.

Introduction During the last decade considerable advances concerning the taxonomy of amphi- pods have been achieved (Barnard and Karaman, 1991). Nevertheless, the phylogen- etic position of the major amphipod taxa is controversial. -

Abstract Physiology and ecology of three amphipod species in U.K. estuaries Colette Suzanne Mesher The physiology and ecology of three amphipod species, Corophium volutator, Gam• marus marinus and G. chevreuxi were examined. The physiology of the amphipods were investigated in two ways. The physiological capacity was measured as the rate of oxygen consumption (MO2 - fi\ of oxygen per mg of wet mass per hour), over two time durations, 4 hours (short term) and 5 days (medium term) in a variety of salinities with individuals of all size classes.
