INVENTORY OF MARINE FAUNA IN FRENCHMAN BAY AND BLUE HILL BAY, MAINE 1926-1932 **** CATALOG OF WILLIAM PROCTER’S MARINE COLLECTIONS By: Glen Mittelhauser & Darrin Kelly Maine Natural History Observatory 2007 1 INVENTORY OF MARINE FAUNA IN FRENCHMAN BAY AND BLUE HILL BAY, MAINE 1926-1932 **** CATALOG OF WILLIAM PROCTER’S MARINE COLLECTIONS By: Glen Mittelhauser & Darrin Kelly Maine Natural History Observatory 2007 Catalog prepared by: Glen H. Mittelhauser Specimens cataloged by: Darrin Kelly Glen Mittelhauser Kit Sheehan Taxonomy assistance: Glen Mittelhauser, Maine Natural History Observatory Anne Favolise, Humboldt Field Research Institute Thomas Trott, Gerhard Pohle P.G. Ross 2 William Procter started work on the survey of the marine fauna of the Mount Desert Island region in the spring of 1926 after a summer’s spotting of the territory with a hand dredge. This work was continued from the last week in June until the first week of September through 1932. The specimens from this collection effort were brought back to Mount Desert Island recently. Although Procter noted that this inventorywas not intended to generate a complete list of all species recorded from the Mount Desert Island area, this inventory is the foundation on which all future work on the marine fauna in the region will build. An inven- tory of this magnitude has not been replicated in the region to date. This publication is the result of a major recovery effort for the collection initiated and funded by Acadia National Park. Many of the specimens in this collection were loosing preservative or were already dried out. Over a two year effort, Maine Natural History Observatory worked closely with Acadia National Park to re-house the collection in archival containers, re-hydrate specimens (through stepped concentrations of ethyl alcohol) that had dried, fully catalog the collection, and update the synonymy of specimens. Zoological names change from time to time, and many of the names on the specimens and in the catalog published by Procter were outdated. This catalog is a compilation of the species published in Procter’s original catalog and the specimens in the collection now housed at Acadia National Park Archives on Mount Desert Island. Researchers interested in aspects of the collection should consult Procter’s original catalog (Procter, William. 1933. Biological Survey of the Mount Desert Island Region, part V : A report of the organization, laboratory equipment, methods and station lists together with a list of the marine fauna with descriptions and places of capture. The Wistar Institute of Anatomy and Biology, Philadel- phia, PA.) where detailed charts of dredging and shore station locations are given, and much additional information on each species. Researchers should also contact Acadia National Park if they are interested in additional research on the specimens. Additional copies of this catalog can be ordered by contact- ing: Maine Natural History Observatory, 317 Guzzle Road, Gouldsboro, Maine, 04607. We would also appreciate hearing about any errors or omissions in this catalog. 3 PHYLUM: PROTOZOA ORDER: FORAMINIFERIDA FAMILY: Saccamminidae Crithionina pisum Goes.

P. Payne MSc Thesis, Department of Biodiversity and Conservation Biology, University of the Western Cape. Seamounts are poorly understood ubiquitous undersea features, with less than 4% sampled for scientific purposes globally. Consequently, the fauna associated with seamounts in the Indian Ocean remains largely unknown, with less than 300 species recorded. One such feature within this region is Walters Shoal, a shallow seamount located on the South Madagascar Ridge, which is situated approximately 400 nautical miles south of Madagascar and 600 nautical miles east of South Africa. Even though it penetrates the euphotic zone (summit is 15 m below the sea surface) and is protected by the Southern Indian Ocean Deep- Sea Fishers Association, there is a paucity of biodiversity and oceanographic data.

The material was collected during 12 summer expeditions organized from Diversity; 1997 to 2013. In all, 24 pelagic and 116 benthic taxa were recorded, most of them widely Distribution distributed Arctic-boreal species. The advection of different water masses from the shelf had a direct impact on the structure of the pelagic Malacostraca communities, resulting in the clear dominance of the sub-arctic hyperiid amphipod Themisto abyssorum in Kongsfjorden and the great abundance of Decapoda larvae in Hornsund. The taxonomic, functional and size compositions of the benthic malacostracan assemblages varied between the two fjords, and also between the glacier-proximate inner bays and the main fjord basins, as a result of the varying dominance patterns of the same assemblage of species. There was a significant drop in species richness in the strongly disturbed glacial bays of both fjords, but only in Hornsund was this accompanied by a significant decrease in density and diversity, probably due to greater isolation and poorer quality of sediment organic matter in its innermost basin.

    Proposal for a Revised Classification of the Demospongiae (Porifera) Christine Morrow1 and Paco Cárdenas2,3*

    Morrow and Cárdenas Frontiers in Zoology (2015) 12:7 DOI 10.1186/s12983-015-0099-8 DEBATE Open Access Proposal for a revised classification of the Demospongiae (Porifera) Christine Morrow1 and Paco Cárdenas2,3* Abstract Background: Demospongiae is the largest sponge class including 81% of all living sponges with nearly 7,000 species worldwide. Systema Porifera (2002) was the result of a large international collaboration to update the Demospongiae higher taxa classification, essentially based on morphological data. Since then, an increasing number of molecular phylogenetic studies have considerably shaken this taxonomic framework, with numerous polyphyletic groups revealed or confirmed and new clades discovered. And yet, despite a few taxonomical changes, the overall framework of the Systema Porifera classification still stands and is used as it is by the scientific community. This has led to a widening phylogeny/classification gap which creates biases and inconsistencies for the many end-users of this classification and ultimately impedes our understanding of today’s marine ecosystems and evolutionary processes. In an attempt to bridge this phylogeny/classification gap, we propose to officially revise the higher taxa Demospongiae classification. Discussion: We propose a revision of the Demospongiae higher taxa classification, essentially based on molecular data of the last ten years. We recommend the use of three subclasses: Verongimorpha, Keratosa and Heteroscleromorpha. We retain seven (Agelasida, Chondrosiida, Dendroceratida, Dictyoceratida, Haplosclerida, Poecilosclerida, Verongiida) of the 13 orders from Systema Porifera. We recommend the abandonment of five order names (Hadromerida, Halichondrida, Halisarcida, lithistids, Verticillitida) and resurrect or upgrade six order names (Axinellida, Merliida, Spongillida, Sphaerocladina, Suberitida, Tetractinellida). Finally, we create seven new orders (Bubarida, Desmacellida, Polymastiida, Scopalinida, Clionaida, Tethyida, Trachycladida).

We investigated the larval vertical dis- tribution and abundance of 9 meroplanktonic gastropod taxa (Margarites spp., Crepidula spp., Astyris lunata, Diaphana minuta, Littorinimorpha, Arrhoges occidentalis, Ilyanassa spp., Bittiolum alternatum and Nudibranchia), with similar morphology and swimming abilities, but different adult habitats and life-history strategies. We explored the role of physical (temperature, salinity, density, current velocities) and biological (fluorescence) factors, as well as periodic cycles (lunar phase, tidal state, diel period) in regulating larval vertical distribution. Using a pump, we collected plankton samples at 6 depths (3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 m) at each tidal state, every 2 h over a 36 and a 26 h period, during a spring and neap tide, respectively, in St. George’s Bay, Nova Scotia. Con- currently, we measured temperature, salinity, density, fluorescence (as a proxy for chlorophyll, i.e. phytoplankton density), and current velocity. Larval abundance was most strongly related to tem- perature, except for Littorinimorpha and Crepidula spp., for which it was most strongly related to fluorescence. Margarites spp., A.

Internal phylogeny and relationships between Styelidae and Pyuridae 37 were inconclusive however.
