Euthecosomatous pteropods (holoplanktonic gastropods) represent Ocean acidification an excellent sentinel for indicating exposure to anthropogenic OA because of the sensitivity of their aragonite Calcifying organisms shells to the OA conditions less favorable for calcification. However, an integration of observations, experiments Marine ecosystem and modelling efforts is needed to make accurate predictions of how these organisms will respond to future Carbonate chemistry changes to their environment. Our understanding of the underlying organismal biology and life history is far from complete and must be improved if we are to comprehend fully the responses of these organisms to the multitude of stressors in their environment beyond OA.

The international workshop was to consolidate progress made so far in pteropod research advisory groups IOC-UNESCO and OSPAR-ICES recommended that and to identify knowledge gaps and future research needs. future studies into marine ecosystems should focus on species that are Here, we present the outcomes from the workshop which consider particularly sensitive to anthropogenic OA since these species can indicate when and where the first impacts will occur. Continuous uptake of about a third of anthropogenically produced carbon dioxide (CO2) since 1750 (Le Quéré et al., 2015), combined with ocean warming and increased freshwater run-off in high latitude regions, are predicted to cause major changes in seawater chemistry. Anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions induce OA, where pH and the concentration of carbonate ions decrease, resulting in shoaling of the Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) saturation horizon (Feely et al., 2009). Ocean pH has already declined by 0.1 unit since pre-industrial times and is predicted to fall another 0.3 unit by 2100 (Caldeira and Wickett, 2003). These changes are likely to affect marine calcifiers, in turn altering biodiversity, trophic interactions and large-scale marine bio- geochemical processes (Fabry et al., 2008).

Abstract The Scotia Sea (Southern Ocean) is a hotspot of biodiversity, however, it is one of the fastest warming regions in the world alongside one of the first to experience ocean acidification (OA). Thecosome (shelled) pteropods are planktonic gastropods which can dominate the Scotia Sea zooplankton community, form a key component of the polar pelagic food web and are important contributors to carbon and carbonate fluxes. Pteropods have been identified as sentinel species for OA, since their aragonitic shells are vulnerable to dissolution in waters undersaturated with respect to aragonite. In this thesis I investigate the impact of a changing ocean on the physiology and life history of pteropods in the Scotia Sea.

These patterns indicate three short term invasions of a single pteropod species during the Rupelian. These invasions are indicated here as Clio blinkae Event, Praehyalocylis laxeannulata Event and Clio jacobae Event. The conspicuously short occurrences of the species, their abundances and some lithological features of the pteropod bearing strata lead to the conclusion that these plankton events are linked to sea level high-stands allowing currents from the worlds oceans to enter into the North Sea Basin.

The catalogue of the invertebrate collection donated by Prof. Dr. Ion Cantacuzino represents the first detailed description of this historical act. The early years of Prof. Dr. Ion Cantacuzino’s career are dedicated to natural sciences, collecting and drawing of marine invertebrates followed by experimental studies.

Malacol., 48: 1-105 (suppl. 9, 2012) Late Quaternary to Recent holoplanktonic Mollusca (Gastropoda) from bottom samples of the eastern Mediterranean Sea: systematics, morphology Arie W. Janssen* * Netherlands Centre for Abstract Biodiversity Naturalis, P.O. Holoplanktonic molluscs of 62 bottom samples and the sieving residues < 0.6 mm of a single gravity core, were Box 9517, NL-2300 RA evaluated. The total number of species found in all samples together is 49 (Pterotracheoidea 11, Janthinidae 2, Leiden, The Netherlands; Limacinoidea 5, Cavolinioidea 16, Cymbulioidea 8, Gymnosomata 5, incertae sedis 2). Results obtained from the currently: 12, Triq residues of bottom samples only give information about which species have been present in the roughly esti- tal’Hamrija, Xewkija XWK 9033, Gozo, Malta; mated interval ‘late Pleistocene to Holocene, Recent included’. The gravity core samples were previously dated [email protected] on the basis of planktonic Foraminifera, comprising the interval of latest Saalian (Marine Isotope Stage 6) to Holocene, and some more detailed information on the vertical distribution of the species could be obtained.
