Department of Zoology and Entomology, Hairy pipefish (Urocampus carinirostris Castelnau) University of Queensland, Brisbane, Qld 4072, Australia are small, cryptic fish from the family Syngnathidae, 542 which also includes seahorses and seadragons. U. ca- rinirostris is the most common syngnathid along much of the eastern Australian coast (Howard and Koehn 1985; Gray et al. 1996). It shares a specialised repro- ductive strategy with other syngnathids, involving the female passing eggs to the underside of the male, in the case of U. carinirostris into a brood pouch under the abdomen (Dawson 1985). Young juveniles hatch from the pouch fully formed. U. carinirostris is typically found in shallow meadows of the seagrass, Zostera capricorni, in estuaries and sheltered embayments. The lack of a dispersive egg and larval phase and the weak swimming ability of adults suggest that movement among estuaries is limited and that closure of the life cycle commonly occurs over a very localised geographical scale. We have assayed mitochondrial DNA variation in eastern Australian populations of U. carinirostris, a marine species representing an extreme in habitat spe- cialisation and limited dispersal potential, to determine if such an extreme suite of intrinsic biological attributes has resulted in strong phylogeographic patterns. The absence of such a pattern would further emphasise the potency of extrinsic environmental forces in determining the genetic structure of marine populations. Fig. 1.

  • Spatial and Temporal Variability in the Effects of Fish Predation on Macrofauna in Relation to Habitat Complexity and Cage Effects
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 224: 231–250, 2001 Published December 19 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Spatial and temporal variability in the effects of fish predation on macrofauna in relation to habitat complexity and cage effects Jeremy S. Hindell1, 2,*, Gregory P. Jenkins3, Michael J. Keough1 1Department of Zoology, University of Melbourne, Parkville, Victoria 3010, Australia 2Queenscliff Marine Station, PO Box 138, Queenscliff, Victoria 3225, Australia 3Marine and Freshwater Research Institute, Weeroona Parade, Queenscliff, Victoria 3225, Australia ABSTRACT: The effects of predation by fishes, in relation to habitat complexity and periodicity of sampling, on abundances of fishes and macroinvertebrates were investigated using controlled caging experiments during summer 1999/2000 at multiple locations (Blairgowrie, Grand Scenic, and Kilgour) in Port Phillip Bay, Australia. A second experiment evaluated biological and physical cage effects. Sites and habitats, but not caging treatments, could generally be differentiated by the assem- blage structure of fishes. Regardless of species, small fishes were generally more abundant in seagrass than unvegetated sand, although the nature of this pattern was site- and time-specific. Depending on the site, abundances of fishes varied between cage treatments in ways that were con- sistent with neither cage nor predation effects (Grand Scenic), strong cage effects (Kilgour) or strong predation or cage effects (Blairgowrie). The abundance of syngnathids varied inconsistently between caging treatments and habitats within sites through time. Although they were generally more abun- dant in seagrass, whether or not predation or cage effects were observed depended strongly on the time of sampling. Atherinids and clupeids generally occurred more commonly over seagrass. In this habitat, atherinids varied between cage treatments in a manner consistent with strong cage effects, while clupeids varied amongst predator treatments in a way that could be explained either by cage or predation effects.

This species is characterized by the following combination of characters: caudal fin absent; opercle without keel; superior and inferior trunk ridges continuous with their respective tail ridges; lateral trunk ridge deflected dorsal behind anal ring. Tail shorter than head and body hexagonal in its subdorsal part, posterior quadrangular, rapidly tapering, without caudal fin, prehensile. Head essentially in line with longitudinal axis of body or bent very little.

Modern theory predicts that relative parental investment of the sexes in their young is a key factor responsible for sexual selection. Seahorses and pipe®shes (family Syngnathidae) are extraordinary among ®shes in their remarkable adaptations for paternal care and frequent occurrences of sex-role reversals (i.e., female-female competition for mates), offering exceptional opportunities to test predictions of sexual selection theory. During mating, the female transfers eggs into or onto specialized egg-brooding structures that are located on either the male's abdomen or its tail, where they are osmoregulated, aerated, and nourished by specially adapted structures. All syngnathid males exhibit this form of parental care but the brooding structures vary, ranging from the simple ventral gluing areas of some pipe®shes to the completely enclosed pouches found in seahorses. We present a molecular phylogeny that indicates that the di- versi®cation of pouch types is positively correlated with the major evolutionary radiation of the group, suggesting that this extreme development and diversi®cation of paternal care may have been an important evolutionary innovation of the Syngnathidae.

Een woord van dank is hier dan ook gepast. Allereerst wil ik Prof. Dr. Dominique Adriaens bedanken voor alles wat hij de afgelopen jaren voor mij heeft gedaan. Er zijn veel zaken die het goede verloop van een doctoraat bepalen en de invloed van de promotor is volgens mij een niet te onderschatten factor.

Mitochondrial genomes of 26 cichlid species were amplified by long-range PCR followed by the 454 pyrosequencing on a GS Roche Junior platform. The primers for long-range PCR were designed specifically in the mitogenomic regions with low interspecific variability. The whole mitogenome of most species was amplified as three fragments using the following primer sets: for the region between position 2 500 bp and 7 300 bp (of mitogenome starting with tRNA-Phe), we used forward primers ZM2500F (5'-ACG ACC TCG ATG TTG GAT CAG GAC ATC C-3'), L2508KAW (Kawaguchi et al. 2001) or S-LA-16SF (Miya & Nishida 2000) and reverse primer ZM7350R (5'-TTA AGG CGT GGT CGT GGA AGT GAA GAA G-3'). The region between 7 300 bp and 12 300 bp was amplified using primers ZM7300F (5'-GCA CAT CCC TCC CAA CTA GGW TTT CAA GAT GC-3') and ZM12300R (5'-TTG CAC CAA GAG TTT TTG GTT CCT AAG ACC-3').
