Taghon, Rutgers University, Project Manager [email protected] Judith P. Grassle, Rutgers University, Co-Manager [email protected] Charlotte M.

Benthic macroinvertebrates are commonly included in studies to monitor the effects of human and natural stresses on marine and estuarine ecosystems. There are several reasons for this. Macroinvertebrates (here defined as animals retained on a 0.5-mm mesh sieve) are abundant in most coastal and estuarine sediments, typically on the order of 103 to 104 per meter squared. Benthic communities are typically composed of many taxa from different phyla, and quantitative measures of community diversity (e.g., Rosenberg et al. 2004) and the relative abundance of animals with different feeding behaviors (e.g., Weisberg et al. 1997, Pelletier et al. 2010), can be used to evaluate ecosystem health. Because most benthic invertebrates are sedentary as adults, they function as integrators, over periods of months to years, of the properties of their environment.

This study examined the estuarine distribution and larval biology of C. errans. Parasite prevalence and mean intensity of C. errans infecting C. magister varied along an estuarine gradient in the Coos Bay, Oregon. Crabs nearest the ocean carried the heaviest parasite loads, and larger crabs were more heavily infected with worms.

(Prosorhochmidae; Hoplonemertea; Nemertea) from Florida and Belize Svetlana A. Maslakovaa* and Jon L. Norenburgb aOregon Institute of Marine Biology, University of Oregon, Charleston, OR, USA; bNational Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, USA (Received 31 December 2007; final version received 3 April 2008) The hoplonemertean genera Prosadenoporus Bu¨rger, 1890 and Pantinonemertes Moore and Gibson, 1981 are revised and synonymized based on a morphological re-evaluation. We redefine Prosadenoporus Bu¨rger, 1890 on the basis of characters held in common by the eight species: Prosadenoporus agricola (Willemoes-Suhm, 1874) comb. nov., Prosadenoporus arenarius Bu¨rger, 1890, Prosadenoporus spectaculum (Yamaoka, 1940) comb. nov., Prosadenoporus winsori (Moore and Gibson, 1981) comb. nov., Prosadenoporus enalios (Moore and Gibson, 1981) comb. nov., Prosadenoporus mooreae (Gibson, 1982b) comb. nov., Prosadenoporus mortoni (Gibson, 1990) comb. nov. and Prosadenoporus fujianensis (Sun, 2001) comb. nov. We describe a new semi-terrestrial species Prosadenoporus floridensis sp. nov. from Belize and Florida and compare its morphology to other species of Prosadenoporus. The average sequence divergence of P. floridensis sp. nov. from other congeners is 9.15% (16S) and 10.65% (COI) and 7.8% and 10.3% respectively from the nearest sequenced congener P. mortoni. Keywords: nemertea; Prosadenoporus; Pantinonemertes; Prosorhochmidae; semi- terrestrial Introduction Members of the hoplonemertean family Prosorhochmidae are distinguished by a crescent-shaped epithelial head groove – the ‘‘prosorhochmid smile’’.

Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Per Sundberg Department for Marine Sciences, University of Gothenburg Tag der Promotion: 16.12.2016 Erscheinungsjahr: 2017 Für meine Geschwister Birgit und Raphael Krämer Danksagung Es ist fast unmöglich, hier allen Personen zu danken, aber ich gebe mein Bestes. Ein großes Dankeschön gilt Prof. Dr. Thomas Bartolomaeus, der mich in die Arbeitsgruppe aufgenommen und das Thema bereitgestellt hat. Der größte Dank gilt dabei Dr. Jörn von Döhren, der mich und diese Arbeit in den letzten Jahren betreut hat: Danke für jede Antwort auf jede Frage, für jede Diskussion und jede Aufmunterung (vor allem in den letzten Wochen)! Besonders bedanken will ich mich bei Prof. Dr. Per Sundberg. Nicht nur für die Begutachtung dieser Arbeit, sondern auch für die Zeit in Göteborg. Ihm und den Mitgliedern seiner Arbeitsgruppe, allen voran Dr. Leila Carmona, Svante Martinsson, Dr. Matthias Obst, Prof. Dr. Christer Erséus und Prof. Dr. Urban Olsson bin ich aus tiefstem Herzen dankbar. Die Zeit hat mich unglaublich motiviert: Tack så mycket/muchas gracias for everything! Nicht zu vernachlässigen sind für diese Zeit Eva Bäckström, Sonja Miettinen, Josefine Flaig, Florina Lachmann und Hasan Albahri: Ihr habt Göteborg für mich zu einem Zuhause gemacht! In diesem Zuge danke ich dem DAAD für das Stipendium, das mir das Arbeiten in Schweden überhaupt erst ermöglichte.
