ABSTRACT Checklist of the species of Sabellidae Latreille, 1825 and Fabriciidae Rioja, 1923(Annelida, Sabellida) reported from the Iberian Peninsula, Balearic and Chafarinas Islands A taxonomic checklist of the species belonging to the families Sabellidae and Fabriciidae reported from the Iberian Peninsula and the Chafarinas and Balearic Islands is presented. From a thorough revision of the bibliog- raphy dealing directly or indirenctly with these groups, it was found that 54 valid species pertaining to 23 genera of Sabellidae and nine species belonging to seven genera of Fabriciidae have been reported to date from the considered area. In this checklist, for each species we provide all the records from the area and all the synonyms used, together with information about their regional geographic distribution.

Introducción dentro del orden Sabellida, caracterizado por la exis­ tencia de un penacho branquial complejo que rodea Junto con la familia Serpulidae Rafinesque, 1815, la boca (Kupriyanova & Rouse, 2008) y está formado las familias Sabellidae Latreille, 1825 y Fabriciidae por dos unidades o lóbulos situados a ambos lados Rioja, 1923 forman un claro grupo monofilético del extremo anterior del peristomio. En cada lóbulo 2 E. López & D. Cepeda se insertan una serie de estructuras longitudinales lla­ pn rd madas radiolos, que tienen prolongaciones laterales, rd las pínulas (Fig. 1A, B), cuya función es tanto atra­ A B par partículas alimenticias en suspensión como llevar a cabo parte del intercambio gaseoso. Además del ps penacho branquial, la boca de sabélidos y fabrícidos pn C está rodeada de una serie de estructuras, entre las que tx destacan unas proyecciones de longitud variable lla­ madas labios. En sabélidos hay dos pares de labios, dorsal y ventral (Fig. 1D), pero en fabrícidos única­ ab mente existe el par dorsal (Fitzhugh, 1989). Sabélidos y fabrícidos presentan tanto sedas capi­ D lares como uncinos en todos los segmentos setígeros salvo el primero, que presenta exclusivamente sedas Id capilares. En ambas familias se puede observar una F división del metastomio en dos regiones, denominadas Iv E G tórax y abdomen (Fig. 1A, B). El cambio de región es H claramente apreciable por la inversión de la posición de ambos tipos de sedas, ya que mientras que en el I J tórax las sedas capilares se sitúan en el notopodio y los r uncinos en el neuropodio, en el abdomen aparecen en posiciones opuestas (Fig. 1C). Asimismo, se produce un giro en el surco fecal, un canal ciliado que recorre K longitudinalmente el cuerpo del animal y se encarga r de la remoción de las heces fuera del tubo, de modo L N que en el tórax aparece en posición dorsal y en el abdo­ M m p men a nivel ventral. Además, se da la circunstancia m de que en muchas especies las sedas presentan dife­ m rente aspecto en una y otra región.

Cabioch et ses collaborateurs pour la période 1971-1976. La distribution des communautés macrobenthiques étant régie pro parte par la couverture sédimentaire, la nature des fonds du bassin oriental de la Manche a été caractérisée et cartographiée à partir de la classification de Folk pour les deux périodes étudiées. Une relative stabilité de la couverture sédimentaire a été mise en évidence : 69 % de la zone étudiée présentant peu ou pas de changements. Ces observations ont été mises en relation avec l’hydrodynamisme, facteur structurant dominant de la couverture sédimentaire en Manche. Les zones où un changement est observable se situent dans les baies, à la sortie des estuaires et à proximité des zones connues de bancs de sable.

  • Macrobenthos at Marine Hotspots Along the Northwest Indian Inner Shelf: Patterns and Drivers

Tel.: +91 22 2635 9605; fax: +91 22 2636 4627. E-mail address: [email protected] (Soniya Sukumaran). Abstract Marine hotspots are areas prioritized for conservation and monitoring, based on their sensitivity or vulnerability. Understanding the natural variability of resident organisms in such critical areas is integral for deciphering human-induced perturbations to formulate appropriate management strategies. Five marine hotspots along NW India, comprising three active harbours and two marine protected areas, were surveyed seasonally to understand the macrofaunal distribution patterns and functional traits. Among the 33 macrobenthic taxa, Polychaeta constituted the dominant taxon. Spatial variability was prominent due to differences in terms of polychaete species types, relative abundances and functional trait matrices. Monsoonal hypoxia altered the macrobenthic species and functional composition. CCA revealed a combination of natural (texture, DO, salinity) and anthropogenic (PHc, SS, ammonia) hydro-sedimentological variables as key drivers for the polychaete distribution patterns. The results are expected to improve the understanding of the variability and functioning of polychaete taxocommunity within the ecologically and economically significant “marine hotspots”. Keywords: Benthos, Polychaetes, Marine hotspots, Abiotic factors, Hypoxia, Northwest Indian shelf. 1 1. Introduction Hotspots are select areas, mostly terrestrial, that are prioritised for conservation measures based on its inherent exceptional biodiversity or exposure to high levels of threat (Zacharias and Gregr, 2005).
