  • Taxonomic Study of the Pagurus Forbesii "Complex" (Crustacea
    Taxonomic study of the Pagurus forbesii "complex" (Crustacea: Decapoda: Paguridae). Description of Pagurus pseudosculptimanus sp. nov. from Alborán Sea (Southern Spain, Western Mediterranean Sea). GARCÍA MUÑOZ J.E.1, CUESTA J.A.2 & GARCÍA RASO J.E.1* 1 Dept. Biología Animal, Fac. Ciencias, Univ. Málaga, Campus de Teatinos s/n, 29071 Málaga, Spain. 2 Inst. Ciencias Marinas de Andalucía (CSIC), Av. República Saharaui, 2, 11519 Puerto Real, Cádiz, Spain. * Corresponding author - e-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT The study of hermit crabs from Alboran Sea has allowed recognition of two different morphological forms under what had been understood as Pagurus forbesii. Based on morphological observations with various species of Pagurus, and molecular studies, a new species is defined and described as P. pseudosculptimanus. An overview on species of Pagurus from the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea is provided. Key words: Pagurus, new species, Mediterranean, eastern Atlantic. 1 Introduction More than 170 species from around the world are currently assigned to the genus Pagurus Fabricius, 1775 (Lemaitre and Cruz Castaño 2004; Mantelatto et al. 2009; McLaughlin 2003, McLaughlin et al. 2010). This genus is complex because of there is high morphological variability and similarity among some species, and has been divided in groups (e.g. Lemaitre and Cruz Castaño 2004 for eastern Pacific species; Ingle, 1985, for European species) with difficulty (Ayón-Parente and Hendrickx 2012). This difficulty has lead to taxonomic problems, although molecular techniques have been recently used to elucidate some species (Mantelatto et al. 2009; Da Silva et al. 2011). Thirteen species are present in eastern Atlantic (European and the adjacent African waters) (Ingle 1993; Udekem d'Acoz 1999; Froglia, 2010, MarBEL Data System - Türkay 2012, García Raso et al., in press) but only nine of these (the first ones mentioned below) have been cited in the Mediterranean Sea, all of them are present in the study area (Alboran Sea, southern Spain).

The spermatophores show similarities with those described for other members of the family Diogenidae (especially the genus Cliba­ narius), and are composed of three major regions: a sperm-filled, circular flat ampulla; a columnar stalk; and a pedestal. The morphology and size of the spermatophore of L. loxochelis, along with a distinguishable constriction or neck that penetrates almost halfway into the base of the ampulla, are characteristic of this species. The size of the spermatophore is related to hermit crab size. Direct relationships were found between the spermatophore ampulla width, total length, and peduncle length with carapace length of the hermit crab. These morphological characteristics and size of the spermatophore ofL.

  • Bulletin of the British Museum (Natural History)
    Charixa Lang and Spinicharixa gen. nov., cheilostome bryozoans from the Lower Cretaceous P. D. Taylor Department of Palaeontology, British Museum (Natural History), Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD Synopsis Seven species of non-ovicellate anascans with pluriserial to loosely multiserial colonies are described from the Barremian-Albian of Europe and Africa. The genus Charixa Lang is revised and the following species assigned: C. vennensis Lang from the U. Albian Cowstones of Dorset, C. Ihuydi (Pitt) from the U. Aptian Faringdon Sponge Gravel of Oxfordshire, C. cryptocauda sp. nov. from the Albian Mzinene Fm. of Zululand, C. lindiensis sp. nov. from the Aptian of Tanzania, and C.I sp. from the Barremian Makatini Fm. of Zululand. Spinicharixa gen. nov. is introduced for Charixa-\ike species with multiple spine bases. Two species are described: S. pitti sp. nov., the type species, probably from the Urgoniana Fm. (?Aptian) of Spain, and S. dimorpha from the M.-U. Albian Gault Clay of Kent. All previous records of L. Cretaceous cheilostomes are reviewed. Although attaining a wide geographical distribution, cheilostomes remained uncommon, morphologically conservative and of low species diversity until late Albian-early Cenomanian times. Introduction An outstanding event in the fossil history of the Bryozoa is the appearance, radiation and dominance achieved by the Cheilostomata during the latter part of the Mesozoic. Aspects of et al. this event have been discussed by several authors (e.g. Cheetham & Cook in Boardman 1983; Larwood 1979; Larwood & Taylor 1981; Schopf 1977; Taylor 1981o; Voigt 1981). Comparative morphology provides strong evidence for regarding living cheilostomes as the sister group of living ctenostome bryozoans (Cheetham & Cook in Boardman et al.

Compared to other phyla, little is known about their phylogenetic relationships at both lower and higher taxonomic levels. Hence, an effort is being made to elucidate their phylogenetic relationships. Here, we present newly sequenced nuclear and mitochondrial genes for 21 cheilostome bryozoans. Combining these data with existing orthologous molecular data, we focus on reconstructing the phylogenetic relationships of Fenestrulina and Microporella, two species-rich genera. They are currently placed in Microporellidae, defined by having a semicircular primary orifice and a proximal ascopore.

  • Biogeographical Homogeneity in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. II
    Vol. 19: 75–84, 2013 AQUATIC BIOLOGY Published online September 4 doi: 10.3354/ab00521 Aquat Biol Biogeographical homogeneity in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. II. Temporal variation in Lebanese bivalve biota Fabio Crocetta1,*, Ghazi Bitar2, Helmut Zibrowius3, Marco Oliverio4 1Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn, Villa Comunale, 80121, Napoli, Italy 2Department of Natural Sciences, Faculty of Sciences, Lebanese University, Hadath, Lebanon 3Le Corbusier 644, 280 Boulevard Michelet, 13008 Marseille, France 4Dipartimento di Biologia e Biotecnologie ‘Charles Darwin’, University of Rome ‘La Sapienza’, Viale dell’Università 32, 00185 Roma, Italy ABSTRACT: Lebanon (eastern Mediterranean Sea) is an area of particular biogeographic signifi- cance for studying the structure of eastern Mediterranean marine biodiversity and its recent changes. Based on literature records and original samples, we review here the knowledge of the Lebanese marine bivalve biota, tracing its changes during the last 170 yr. The updated checklist of bivalves of Lebanon yielded a total of 114 species (96 native and 18 alien taxa), accounting for ca. 26.5% of the known Mediterranean Bivalvia and thus representing a particularly poor fauna. Analysis of the 21 taxa historically described on Lebanese material only yielded 2 available names. Records of 24 species are new for the Lebanese fauna, and Lioberus ligneus is also a new record for the Mediterranean Sea. Comparisons between molluscan records by past (before 1950) and modern (after 1950) authors revealed temporal variations and qualitative modifications of the Lebanese bivalve fauna, mostly affected by the introduction of Erythraean species. The rate of recording of new alien species (evaluated in decades) revealed later first local arrivals (after 1900) than those observed for other eastern Mediterranean shores, while the peak in records in conjunc- tion with our samplings (1991 to 2010) emphasizes the need for increased field work to monitor their arrival and establishment.

A total of 133 benthic taxa have been recorded, and their distribution evaluated according to depth and seasonality. Bathymetric distribution showed scanty differences between the 4-6 meters and 12-16 meters depth levels, sharing all the 22 most abundant species. Season markedly affected species composition, since 42 taxa were exclusively recorded in spring and 35 in autumn, contrary to 56 shared taxa. The occurrence of some uncommon taxa has also been discussed. The benthic mollusc assemblages, although sampled in Ionian Sea, showed a clear western species composition, in accordance with literature placing east of the Strait the bound- ary line between western and eastern Mediterranean eco-regions. Opposite, occasional records of six mesopelagic species, which included the first record for this area of Atlanta helicinoi - dea

This species shows three distinct zooid types during summer: the R (rib), I (intermediate), and S (shield) types. Evidence indicates that zooids commit to development as a given type, rather than transform from one type to another with age. Differences in the frontal spinocyst among the types appear to be mediated by a simple developmental mechanism, acceleration or retardation in the production of lateral costal fusions as the costae elongate during ontogeny. Colonies of all three types were identical, or nearly so, in partial nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial COI gene (555–631 bp), suggesting that they represent a single species.

E-mail: [email protected] At present, over 300 species of marine alien Mollusca are reported from the European waters (Streftaris et al. 2005; Zenetos et al. 2010). However, only three alien polyplacophoran have been recorded: Chaetopleura angulata (Spengler, 1797), Acanthopleura gemmata (Blainville, 1825) and Chiton hululensis (E. A. Smith, 1903); the latter is considered as “questionable” (Zenetos et al. 2010). These polyplacophoran constituting about 1% of the alien marine mollusc reported from Europe. Here we present the first record of Tonicia atrata (Sowerby, 1840) and Chiton cumingsii Frembly, 1827 in European waters, constituting the first evidence of their presence outside their native range. Furthermore, we give brief notes on the taxonomy and distribution of T. atrata and C. cumingsii, and discuss the potential pathways for introduction to Europe. In Europe, T. atrata occurs together with the well-known alien Ch. angulata; and probably both species have historically been misidentified in collections because both reach large size (> 60 mm) and in many cases the larger size was commonly used to differentiate the presumed alien (Ch. angulata) from the native polyplacophoran of smaller size.

  • Gofas XP 95-104
    Bollettino Malacologico, Roma, 39 (5-8): 95-104, [2003] 2004 - Società Italiana di Malacologia Nomenclature of the smaller Mediterranean Cerithium species Serge Gofas, Vittorio Garilli & Marie-Catherine Boisselier-Dubayle KEY WORDS: Cerithiidae, Mediterranean, taxonomy, lectotype designations. ABSTRACT The Mediterranean morphotypes generally confused under the name Cerithium rupestre have been shown to belong to two different species. The cor- rect name for one of the species, living in very shallow rocky areas including splashpools, is Cerithium lividulum Risso,1826, and for the other, usual- ly living in the shallow infralittoral community of photophilous algae, C. renovatum Monterosato, 1884. Type material is figured for all nominal species in this species group introduced prior to 1900, and for some of the species proposed later. Orientations for future work in the taxonomy of this species group are suggested. RIASSUNTO E’ stato mostrato che le entità morfologiche generalmente confuse sotto il nome Cerithium rupestre appartengono a due specie distinte. I nomi corretti per questi taxa sono Cerithium lividulum Risso, 1826, per la specie vivente su fondali rocciosi in acque più superficiali dell’infralitorale superiore e nelle pozze di marea, e Cerithium renovatum Monterosato, 1884, per la specie solitamente vivente su fondali infralitorali ricoperti da alghe fotofile. Cerithium lividulum ha una conchiglia robusta con giri appena convessi, coste assiali talora tuberculate e cordoni spirali piani. La colorazione è data da screziature bruno-verdastre decorrenti spiralmente su uno sfondo bianco. La conchiglia di Cerithium renovatum è più piccola (inferiore ai 20 mm nel materiale esaminato), più delicata e snella, e presenta una serie regolare di tubercoli, costantemente di colore bianco, che iniziano nei primi giri e raggiungono il loro massimo sviluppo in corrispondenza del penultimo.

Present address: The Kyoto University Museum, Yoshida Honmachi, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto 606-8501, Japan (email: [email protected]) Received December 19, 2005; Revised manuscript accepted May 26, 2006 Abstract. Cerithiform gastropods possess high-spired shells with small apertures, anterior canals or si- nuses, and usually one or more spiral rows of tubercles, spines or nodes. This shell morphology occurs mostly within the superfamily Cerithioidea. Several morphologic characters of cerithiform shells are adap- tive within five broad functional areas: (1) defence from shell-peeling predators (external sculpture, pre- adult internal barriers, preadult varices, adult aperture) (2) burrowing and infaunal life (burrowing sculp- tures, bent and elongated inhalant adult siphon, plough-like adult outer lip, flattened dorsal region of last whorl), (3) clamping of the aperture onto a solid substrate (broad tangential adult aperture), (4) stabilisa- tion of the shell when epifaunal (broad adult outer lip and at least three types of swellings located on the left ventrolateral side of the last whorl in the adult stage), and (5) righting after accidental overturning (pro- jecting dorsal tubercles or varix on the last or penultimate whorl, in one instance accompanied by hollow ventral tubercles that are removed by abrasion against the substrate in the adult stage). Most of these char- acters are made feasible by determinate growth and a countdown ontogenetic programme.

Abstract: Marine biodiversity along the Syrian coast is affected by climate change-related Article history: Received 5 February 2019 temperature increase leading to the migration and entrance of alien species, especially from Accepted 27 July 2019 the Suez Canal (biological invasion). The Syrian coast is chracterized by many different Available online 25 August 2019 types of habitats, including marine caves, midilittoral bioconstructions (Lithophyllum byssoides rim and vermetid tarraces), coraligenous communities, sandy dunes, rocky coast Keywords: and seagrass meadows. The present study summarizes early and most recent results on the Marine biodiversity presence, distribution, abundance and conservation status of marine alien species along the Macrozoobenthos Syrians coast and provides an updated list of alien macrozoobenthic species. A total of 79 Invasive alien species Eastern Mediterranean Sea alien species belonging to Mollusca, Crustacea, Tunicata, Polychaeta, Spongia, Echinodermata and Chaetognatha are reported; among them Gastropoda is being the most abundant and successful taxon. In the light of these results, some recommendations on future research directions are provided. In particular, more effort is needed to monitor and record the entrance of alien species by adopting a comprehensive national plan to study marine biodiversity and to protect local resources in the Syrian marine environment.
