QUARTERLY REPORT OF INVESTIGATIONS OF SUSPECTED EXOTIC MARINE AND FRESHWATER PESTS AND DISEASES Exotic sea slug excluded Exotic marine pest and aquatic disease investigations A member of the public contacted MAF, concerned about are managed and reported by MAF’s Investigation and an unusual marine invertebrate found on the foreshore at Diagnostic Centre (IDC) Wallaceville. The following is a Okahu Bay, Auckland. The caller had not seen an animal like this before, and was concerned it could be the grey summary of investigations of suspected exotic marine side-gilled sea slug (which has been found to contain diseases and pests during the period from October to tetrodotoxin in the past) or something else unusual. From December 2011. the caller’s description it could not be determined whether the animal was a sea slug, sea cucumber or something else, so they submitted a specimen for identification. The slug was identified as the ragged sea hare Bursatella leachii (Gastropoda: Aplysiidae), a native species commonly found on the northeast coast of New Zealand (including around Auckland). This species is not known to be toxic. The investigation was stood down as no exotic animal was detected. Japanese mantis shrimp excluded A biosecurity officer from Environment Southland contacted MAF to report crustaceans caught in Bluff Harbour that might be Japanese mantis shrimp (Oratosquilla oratoria) (Stomatopoda: Squillidae). This species is now established in Kaipara Harbour but so far has not been found elsewhere in New Zealand. As its occurrence at Bluff would be a range expansion, samples Japanese kelp, Undaria pinnatifida and photos were submitted to the Marine Invasives Taxonomic Service for identification. Two crustaceans were submitted and were both found to be native species, Paul Bingham Pterygosquilla schizodontia (Stomatopoda: Squillidae) Team Manager Incursion Investigation – Animals and Marine and Heterosquilla sp (Stomatopoda: Tetrasquillidae).

Undaria confirmed at Chatham Islands A biosecurity officer from Environment Canterbury based at the Chatham Islands called the MAF pest and disease hotline regarding a possible find of Undaria (Laminariales: Alariaceae) at Port Hutt, Chatham Islands. Images were sent through of mature plants attached to the seabed and on wharf structures at Port Hutt and sent to NIWA for expert identification. The plants were identified as Undaria. A joint agency response was initiated in collaboration with local tangata whenua. SURVEILLANCE 39 (1) 2012 29.

Biodiversity Data Journal 8: e47183. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.8.e47183 Abstract Background The checklist of Stomatopoda of Greece was developed in the framework of the LifeWatchGreece Research Infrastructure (ESFRI) project, coordinated by the Institute of Marine Biology, Biotechnology and Aquaculture (IMBBC) of the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research (HCMR). The application of the Greek Taxon Information System (GTIS) of this project has been used in order to develop a complete checklist of species recorded from the Greek Seas. The objectives of the present study were to update and cross-check all the stomatopod species that are known to occur in the Greek Seas. Inaccuracies and omissions were also investigated, according to literature and current taxonomic status. New information The up-to-date checklist of Stomatopoda of Greece comprises nine species, classified to eight genera and three families.

Stomatopod Interrelationships: Preliminary Results Based on Analysis of Three Molecular Loci

AHYONG 1 & SIMON N. JARMAN 2 1 Marine Biodiversity and Biodescurity, National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, Private Bag 14901, Kilbirnie, Wellington, New Zealand [[email protected]] 2 Australian Antarctic Division, 203 Channel Highway, Kingston, Tasmania 7050, Australia [[email protected]] Received 16.iii.2009, accepted 15.iv.2009. Published online at www.arthropod-systematics.de on 17.vi.2009. > Abstract The mantis shrimps (Stomatopoda) are quintessential marine predators. The combination of powerful raptorial appendages and remarkably developed sensory systems place the stomatopods among the most effi cient invertebrate predators. High level phylogenetic analyses have been so far based on morphology. Crown-group Unipeltata appear to have diverged in two broad directions from the outset – one towards highly effi cient ‘spearing’ with multispinous dactyli on the raptorial claws (dominated by Lysiosquilloidea and Squilloidea), and the other towards ‘smashing’ (Gonodactyloidea). In a preliminary molecular study of stomatopod interrelationships, we assemble molecular data for mitochondrial 12S and 16S regions, combined with new sequences from the 16S and two regions of the nuclear 28S rDNA to compare with morphological hypotheses. Nineteen species representing 9 of 17 extant families and 3 of 7 superfamilies were analysed. The molecular data refl ect the overall patterns derived from morphology, especially in a monophyletic Squilloidea, a monophyletic Lysiosquilloidea and a monophyletic clade of gonodactyloid smashers. Molecular analyses, however, suggest the novel possibility that Hemisquillidae and possibly Pseudosquillidae, rather than being basal or near basal in Gonodactyloidea, may be basal overall to the extant stomatopods.

The Evolution of Social Monogamy and Biparental Care in Stomatopod Crustaceans
The Evolution of Social Monogamy and Biparental Care in Stomatopod Crustaceans By Mary Louisa Wright A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Roy L. Caldwell Professor Eileen Lacey Professor George Roderick Spring 2013 ABSTRACT The Evolution of Social Monogamy and Biparental Care in Stomatopod Crustaceans By Mary Louisa Wright Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology University of California, Berkeley Professor Roy L. Caldwell, Chair Although social monogamy and biparental care have been extensively studied in birds, mammals, and fish, the evolutionary origins and maintenance of these phenomena are not well- understood, particularly in invertebrate taxa. The evolution of social monogamy is of interest because current theory predicts that both males and females will usually gain more fitness from mating with multiple partners. Furthermore, biparental care should only occur when males and females both gain more fitness benefits from providing parental care than from investing time and energy into mate searching. Given these expectations, under what environmental and social conditions will social monogamy and biparental care arise and do the same conditions maintain monogamy and biparental care on an evolutionary time scale? Long-term social monogamy, which occurs when a male and female pair for longer than a single breeding cycle, has been reported in eight genera of Lysiosquilloid stomatopods. Furthermore, the Lysiosquilloidea also contains the only marine crustacean genus (Pullosquilla) in which biparental care has been systematically studied. This dissertation examines the evolutionary maintenance and origins of both biparental care and long-term social monogamy in the Lysiosquilloidea, using experimental manipulations, ecological surveys, and comparative, phylogenetically-based methods.

ZooKeys 791: 47–70. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.791.22587 Abstract The list of marine invertebrate biodiversity living in the southern tip of South America is compiled. In particular, the living invertebrate organisms, reported in the literature for the Argentine Sea, were checked and summarized covering more than 8,000 km of coastline and marine platform. After an exhaustive lit- erature review, the available information of two centuries of scientific contributions is summarized. Thus, almost 3,100 valid species are currently recognized as living in the Argentine Sea. Part of this dataset was uploaded to the OBIS database, as a product of the Census of Marine Life-NaGISA project.

World Catalogue and Bibliography of the Recent Stomatopoda
WORLD CATALOGUE AND BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE RECENT STOMATOPODA compiled and distributed by Hans-Georg Müller Wissenschaftler Verlag, Laboratory for Tropical Ecosystems Research & Information Service P.O. Box 2268 D-35532 Wetzlar, Germany Stomatopod crustaceans are common members of benthic ecosystems in tropical and subtropical marine and brackish waters throughout the world. Few species are known from temperate seas. In the northern hemisphere some species were reported in Japan as far north as Hokkaido, and in the U.S.A. as far north as Massachusetts. In the eastern Atlantic area the northern limit is the sea around Ireland. The southern limits of their distribution are the south coasts of Australia and South Africa. Larval development occurs in the plankton. Stomatopods are raptorial predators, which construct burrows in level bottoms, or live in crevices and holes of hard substrates. The present compilation gives detailed information to all the 412 species known up to now. The reality: Taxonomy is a confusing subject, especially when somebody is not a taxonomic spezialist for the respective animal group and only attempts to determine species within the scope of a non-taxonomic study. New species and subspecies are described, others are synonymized, or subspecies/varieties are raised to species level. Moreover, as a matter of fact, taxonomists often have different oppinions to assign a species to a certain genus, with the result, that often different names are given for the same species. Descriptions are sometimes to poor to allow a reliable determination. Fortunately, several revisions, reviews and redescriptions are available for the Stomatopoda, though numerous short publications are scattered over many journals.

Breve definición del grupo y principales caracteres diagnósticos Los estomatópodos o galeras son crustáceos marinos bentónicos de talla relativamente grande y hábitos depredadores, restringidos principalmente a las aguas someras tropicales, aunque algunas especies habitan el talud continental hasta profundidades de unos 1500 m (Manning, 1991). Su cuerpo es alargado y una de sus principales características morfológicas es la presencia del segundo par de apéndices torá- cicos modificados en forma de pinza subquelada prensil de morfología similar a la de las mantis religio- sas. Se conocen en la actualidad un total de casi 500 especies pertenecientes en la actualidad a un único suborden, los Unipeltata, constituido por siete superfamilias: Bathysquilloidea, Erythrosquilloidea, Eurys- quilloidea, Gonodactyloidea, Lysiosquilloidea, Parasquilloidea y Squilloidea (Ahyong & Schram, 2013). En la actualidad se reconocen un total de 17 familias de estomatópodos. El registro fósil nos indica que el origen de los estomatópodos se encuentra en el Devónico. Este orden se encuentra actualmente en pleno estudio, tanto a nivel biológico, fisiológico y ecológico
