Mortensen’s Pacific Expedition 1914— 16. LIV. Ophiures recueillies par le Docteur Th. Mortensen dans les Mers d’Australie et dans I’Archipel Malais par Ren€ Koehler, Professeur & la Faculty des Sciences de rUniversit6 de Lyon. Avec Planches I— XX. M on excellent ami et collegue, M. le Dr. Th. M o rten sen , de Copenhague, a bien voulu me confier I’etude des Asteries et Ophiures recueillies par lui au cours de ses diverses expeditions dans les Oceans Indien et Pacifique, et je le remercie bien vivement de la confiance qu’il m’a t6moignee. Ses collections, fort importantes et tres intferes- santes, proviennent de ses voyages en Siam, en Australie et dans I’Archipel de la Sonde. Aux collections de Siam sont ajout^es les espfeces recueillies par M. S. Gad a Singapore en 1907; celles de I’Australiesont not6es par M. M o rte n se n sous la designation “Expedi­ tion du Pacifique”, et celles des iles de la Sonde sous la designation “‘Expedition des lies Kei”.Au cours decettederniere,qui aeu lieu en 1922, M. M ortensen a explore notamment les iles Kei elles-memes, ainsi que d ’autres localites: Amboine, Banda, etc.; on trouvera des ren- seignements tres d^tailles sur cette dernifere expedition dans I’ouvrage que M o rte n se n a public recemment: The Danish Expedition to the Kei Islands (Vidensk. Medd. fra Dansk Naturh. Foren., Bd. 76). Le present m^moire est consacre aux Ophiures. L’etude des Asteries, qui est deja assez avancee, fera I’objet d’une publication ulterieure. Vidlnsk. Medd. fra Dansk naturh. Foren. Bd. 89. Je r^unirai ici les Ophiures provenant de Siam, de Singapore, de I’Austraiie et de I’archipel de la Sonde. Les Ophiures recueillies par M. M o rtensen comprennent 269 especes ou varifetes dont 64 sont nouvelles et dont 7 representent de nouveaux genres. Ces formes nouvelles sont imprim^es ci-dessous en caracteres gras.

The body of euryalids is covered by thick skin, and it is very difficult to observe the ossicles without dissolving the skin. Computed tomography with micrometer resolution (approximately 4.5–15.4 µm) was used to construct 3D images of skeletal ossicles and soft tissues in the ophiuroid’s body. Shape and positional arrangement of taxonomically important ossicles were clearly observed without any damage to the body.

In an initiative to help further our understanding, invertebrate surveys over the past seven years have now revealed more than 500 species, many of which are endemic. This is an essential reference guide to these species. Illustrated with hundreds of representative photographs, it includes brief narratives on the biology and ecology of the major taxonomic groups and characteristic features of common species. It is primarily aimed at scientifi c observers, and is intended to be used as both a training tool prior to deployment at-sea, and for use in making accurate identifi cations of invertebrate by catch when operating in the HIMI region. Many of the featured organisms are also found throughout the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean, the guide therefore having national appeal.

Biol. 33(2) : 205~208 (2015) http://dx.doi.org/10.11626/KJEB.2015.33.2.205 A Newly Recorded Basket Star of Genus Gorgonocephalus (Ophiuroidea: Euryalida: Gorgonocephalidae) from Korea Donghwan Kim and Sook Shin* Department of Life Science, Sahmyook University, Seoul 139-742, Korea Abstract - Some euryalid specimens were collected with fishing nets from Mipo, Gyungsangnam- do and Aewol, Jejudo Island, Korea. They were identified as Gorgonocephalus eucnemis (Müller & Troschel, 1842), belonging to family Gorgonocephalidae of order Euryalida, which was new to the Korean fauna. Their molecular analyses were done with newly intended COI primers of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene for the accurate molecular identification. The Korean G. eucnemis was coincident with this NCBI species as a result of Blast analysis, which showed the 99% similarity. In the current study, three Gorgonocephalus species have been report- ed from Korea. Key words: Gorgonocephalus‌ eucnemis, basket star, morphology, molecular analysis, Korea INTRODUCTION MATERIALS AND METHODS Family Gorgonocephalidae including 34 genera is the Basket stars were collected at a depth of 100~150 m deep largest one of three families belonging to order Euryalida by fishing nets from Mipo, Korea Strait and Aewol, Jejudo (Okanishi and Fujita 2013) and its four genera, Astroboa, Island, Korea on June 1983 and January 2013, respectively.

  • The Effect of Sublethal Predation on the Biology of Echinoderms
    OCEANOLOGICA ACTA- VOL. 19- W 3-4 ~ -----~- Dis turban ce The effect of sublethal predation Predation Sublethal predation on the biology of echinoderms Echinoderms Perturbation Prédation Prédation sublétale Echinoderme John M. LA WREN CE a and Julio VASQUEZ b a Department of Biology, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL 33620, U.S.A. b Departamento de Biologia Marina, Universidad Cat6lica del Norte, Coquimbo, Chile. Received 17/01/95, in revised form 08/01196, accepted 11101196. ABSTRACT In contrast to plants, predation on animais is usually lethal. Analysis of the effect of predation on animal populations and on predator-prey dynamics typically assumes this is the case. However, sublethal predation occurs in echinoderms, primarily on the arms of crinoids, asteroids, and ophiuroids. Sublethal predation is important in the se echinoderms as it meets one of Harris' ( 1989) major crite­ ria, affecting basic biological processes such as acquisition of food and allocation of nutrients to growth and reproduction. Sublethal predation would have an effect on their ecological role. It is essential to consider sublethal predation in the analysis of the life-histories of these species. RÉSUMÉ Les effets de la prédation sublétale sur la biologie des échino­ dermes. A l'inverse de la plante, l'animal subit une prédation qui lui est habituellement mortelle. Ceci est confirmé par la plupart des analyses de prédation au sein des populations animales et de la dynamique prédateur/proie. Cependant une préda­ tion sublétale c'est-à-dire sans effet fatal, existe chez les échinodermes, principa­ lement chez les crinoïdes, astéries et ophiures. Pour répondre à cette définition, ce genre de prédation doit répondre au critère de Harris ( 1989) c'est-à-dire influencer les processus de base tels que la croissance et la reproduction et varier en fonction de la densité de la population en cause.

  • Ophiuroidea: Euryalida: Gorgonocephalidae) from the East Sea, Korea
    Anim. Syst. Evol. Divers. Vol. 31, No. 4: 311-315, October 2015 http://dx.doi.org/10.5635/ASED.2015.31.4.311 Short communication A Newly Recorded Basket Star of Genus Gorgonocephalus (Ophiuroidea: Euryalida: Gorgonocephalidae) from the East Sea, Korea Donghwan Kim, Sook Shin* Department of Life Science, Sahmyook University, Seoul 01795, Korea ABSTRACT Euryalid specimens were collected from Gonghyeonjin and Daejin, Gangwon-do in the East Sea, Korea at a depth of 250-300 m by fishing nets on November 2013 and August 2014. They were identified as Gorgonocephalus arcticus Leach, 1819 belonging to family Gorgonocephalidae of order Euryalida, which was new to the Korean fauna. Nucleotide sequences of partial mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (mt-COI) gene, which was 569 bp in length, were compared among four Gorgonocephalus species, and were subsequently employed to reconstruct phylogenetic trees using the MP, ML, and BI methods. As a result, no sequence difference was found between the G. arcticus mt-COI gene sequences from Korea and Canada, and the two made a strong monophyletic group. With the newly recorded G. arcticus in Korea, in total, four Gorgonocephalus species have been reported in Korea. Keywords: Gorgonocephalus arcticus, taxonomy, molecular phylogenetic analyses, mitochondrial COI gene INTRODUCTION gonocephalus species have been reported in Korea based on their morphology (Shin, 2013; Kim and Shin, 2015). Family Gorgonocephalidae, comprising 34 genera, is the Some basket stars were collected from Gonghyeonjin and largest of three families belonging to order Euryalida (Stöhr, Daejin, Gangwon-do in the East Sea, Korea at a depth of 2015), and its four genera (Astroboa, Astrocladus, Astroden­ 250-300 m by fishing nets on November 2013 and August drum, and Gorgonocephalus) have been reported in Korean 2014.

  • New Or Notable Records of Brittle Stars (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea) from South Africa
    New or notable records of brittle stars (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea) from South Africa Jennifer M. Olbers Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, Private Bag X3, Congella, Durban, 4052 South Africa E-mail: [email protected] Yves Samyn Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Rue Vautier 29, Brussels, Belgium E-mail: [email protected] & Charles L. Griffiths Department of Biological Sciences, University of Cape Town, Rondebosch, 7700 South Africa E-mail: [email protected] (With 1 figure and 9 plates) Ophiuroid research in South Africa has not kept pace with global taxonomic research with the last major taxonomic review of the group being published in 1976. This paper documents all new records of Ophiuroidea from South Africa since (and including) 1977. These records originate from specimens housed in five zoological collections, from photographic records and from reports published in the non-taxonomic literature. A short review of the history of ophiuroid taxonomy in South Africa is also given and for each new record, key references, distribution, ecology, additional notes and, where possible, photographs, are presented. This has resulted in an additional 24 species being recorded within the mainland Exclusive Economic Zone of South Africa, elevating the total known number of ophiuroid species reported in the region to 137. Keywords: taxonomy, nomenclature, new record. CONTENTS Abstract· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · 83 Family Gorgonocephalidae · · · · · · 85 Family Ophiodermatidae Introduction · · · ·
