First bryozoan fauna from the middle Miocene of Central Java, Indonesia. Alcheringa 43, 461–478. ISSN 0311-5518. Despite the publication of several taxonomic studies during the last few years, our knowledge of bryozoans from the diversity hotspot of the Indo-West Pacific remains seriously deficient. Here we describe 11 bryozoan species, comprising two anascan- and nine ascophoran-grade cheilostomes, from the middle Miocene (Langhian–Serravallian) of Sedan in Central Java, Indonesia. Three ascophoran-grade cheilostomes, Characodoma multiavicularia sp. nov. Di Martino & Taylor, Stenosipora? cribrata sp. nov. Di Martino & Taylor and Lacrimula patriciae sp. nov. Di Martino & Taylor, are described as new species. All of the three extant species have an Indo-Pacific distribution today and two are here reported as fossil for the first time. Four species are left in open nomenclature, either because of the scarcity of available material or the absence of crucial morphological features. Two of these, placed in Cosciniopsis and Actisecos, are likely to be new, while Discoporella sp. represents the easternmost known record for this common free-living genus. A single species, Lacrimula asymmetrica Cook & Lagaaij, was already known from the early Miocene of the same region, although from a site further to the east.

    BRYOZOAN STUDIES 2019 Edited by Patrick Wyse Jackson & Kamil Zágoršek Czech Geological Survey 1 BRYOZOAN STUDIES 2019 2 Dedication This volume is dedicated with deep gratitude to Paul Taylor. Throughout his career Paul has worked at the Natural History Museum, London which he joined soon after completing post-doctoral studies in Swansea which in turn followed his completion of a PhD in Durham. Paul’s research interests are polymatic within the sphere of bryozoology – he has studied fossil bryozoans from all of the geological periods, and modern bryozoans from all oceanic basins. His interests include taxonomy, biodiversity, skeletal structure, ecology, evolution, history to name a few subject areas; in fact there are probably none in bryozoology that have not been the subject of his many publications. His office in the Natural History Museum quickly became a magnet for visiting bryozoological colleagues whom he always welcomed: he has always been highly encouraging of the research efforts of others, quick to collaborate, and generous with advice and information. A long-standing member of the International Bryozoology Association, Paul presided over the conference held in Boone in 2007. 3 BRYOZOAN STUDIES 2019 Contents Kamil Zágoršek and Patrick N.

E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract Two new species of cheilostome bryozoans are described from Bahia and Espírito Santo States, Brazil—Calyptooecia conuma n. sp. and Hippotrema fissurata n. sp. Both genera are registered for the first time in the South Atlantic Ocean. Inter alia, Calyptooecia conuma n. sp. is characterized by the presence of dimorphic brooding zooids with relatively small orifices and no perioral tubercles, contrasting with bigger non-brooding zooids having larger orifices surrounded by perioral tubercles. Hippotrema fissurata n. sp. differs from congeners in colony morphology and colour, in details of the ooecium and in zooidal metrics. Specimens were collected on varied substrata, commonly calcareous nodules and shells as well as other bryozoans and sponges. Key words: Bryozoa, Cheilostomata, Calyptooecia, Hippotrema, new species, taxonomy, Brazil Introduction Bryozoans constitute a phylum of colonial lophotrochozoan animals that are predominantly marine and occur in all the world’s seas from the shore to abyssal depths (Dick et al. 2006).

    Diversity and Distribution of Deep Sea Bryozoa from Andaman Waters

Considering the geographical and related maritime aspects, an extensive study on marine bryozoa is most needed in this island waters. Aiming to find out the distribution and diversity of the deep-sea bryozoan of Andaman waters, a study was carried out in the seven sites of the Indian Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Andaman Sea. The samples were dredged using sampling gears, during the scientific cruise of FORV Sagar Sampada along Andaman Islands on November, 2017. The investigation was yielded eighteen Cheilostome bryozoan species. A total of 18 species belonging to 11 genera of 10 families coming under 7 super families and 1 suborder of Cheilostomes were listed out from the study. Out of this result, 15 species are first reports from the Indian EEZ. This study has also occupied the paucity of the study of distribution and diversity of deep sea bryozoan from Andaman Islands, after nine decades. Keywords: Bryozoa; Cheilostomes; Deep Sea; Andaman waters. 1. Introduction are sometimes called sea mats, as they were found as flat encrusting forms on boulders and Bryozoans are small, aquatic organisms that rocks.

The total number of species recorded is 237, 75 of those are from deep waters and 171 from shallow waters. The most diverse group is the order Cheilostomata with 186 species, followed by the order Ctenostomata, with 26 species, and the order Cyclostomata, with 25 species. The bryozoan species richness known currently represents between 57% and 68% of the total estimated. The 135 localities stud- ied were grouped in five areas from North to South along the Portuguese coast, and divided into shallow water and deep water. The best known localities nowadays in Portugal are Armaçao de Pêra, with 82 species, and the Coast of Arrábida, with 71 species, while the Southwest coast is nearly unstudied. Most of the deep water species are considered endemic to the Lusitanian region, while in shallow waters most of them are widely distruibuted in the Atlantic-Mediterranean region.

Moreover, Notoplites saojorgensis sp. nov. from the Azores, formerly reported as Notoplites marsupiatus (Jullien), is newly described.

Extant representatives of the classes Stenolaemata and Phylactolaemata are evidently all placental. Within the Gymnolaemata, placenta- like systems have been known since the 1910s in a few species, but are herein reported to be wide- spread within this class. Placental forms include both viviparous species, in which embryonic devel- opment occurs within the maternal body cavity, and brooding species, in which development proceeds outside the body cavity. We have also identified an unknown reproductive pattern involv- ing macrolecithal oogenesis and placental nutrition from a new, taxonomically extensive anatomical study of 120 species in 92 genera and 48 families of the gymnolaemate order Cheilostomata. Results support the hypothesis of evolution of oogenesis and placentation among Cheilostomata from oligolecithal to macrolecithal oogenesis, followed by brooding, through incipient matrotrophy com- bining macrolecithal oogenesis and placentation, to oligolecithal oogenesis with subsequent placen- tal brooding.

Abstract Larger molecular phylogenies based on ever more genes are becoming commonplace with the advent of cheaper and more streamlined sequencing and bioinformatics pipelines. However, many groups of inconspicuous but no less evolutionarily or ecologically important marine invertebrates are still neglected in the quest for understanding species- and higher- level phylogenetic relationships. Here, we alleviate this issue by presenting the molecular sequences of 165 cheilostome bryozoan species from New Zealand waters.

Abstract: Isla del Coco (also known as Cocos Island) is an oceanic island in the Eastern Tropical Pacific; it is part of the largest national park of Costa Rica and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The island has been visited since the 16th Century due to its abundance of freshwater and wood. Marine biodiversity studies of the island started in the late 19th Century, with an intense period of research in the 1930’s, and again from the mid 1990’s to the present. The information is scattered and, in some cases, in old publications that are difficult to access. Here I have compiled published records of the marine organisms of the island. At least 1688 species are recorded, with the gastropods (383 species), bony fishes (354 spp.) and crustaceans (at least 263 spp.) being the most species-rich groups; 45 species are endemic to Isla del Coco National Park (2.7% of the total). The number of species per kilometer of coastline and by square kilometer of seabed shallower than 200m deep are the highest recorded in the Eastern Tropical Pacific. Although the marine biodiversity of Isla del Coco is relatively well known, there are regions that need more exploration, for example, the south side, the pelagic environments, and deeper waters.
