Gottfried Pillai Zoology Department, Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, United Kingdom absTracT. In 1988 Pat Hutchings of the Australian Museum, Sydney, undertook an extensive polychaete collection trip off the Kimberley coast of Western Australia, where such a survey had not been conducted since Augener’s (1914) description of some polychaetes from the region. Serpulids were well represented in the collection, and their present study revealed the existence of two new genera, and new species belonging to the genera Protula, Vermiliopsis, Hydroides, Serpula and Spirobranchus. The synonymy of the difficult genera Spirobranchus, Pomatoceros and Pomatoleios is also dealt with. Certain difficult taxa currently referred to as “species complexes” or “species groups” are discussed. For this purpose it was considered necessary to undertake a comparison of apparently similar species, especially of Spirobranchus, from other locations in Australia and the Indo-West Pacific region. It revealed the existence of many more new species, which are also described and discussed below. Pillai, T. Gottfried, 2009.

  • Diversity of Norwegian Sea Slugs (Nudibranchia): New Species to Norwegian Coastal Waters and New Data on Distribution of Rare Species
    Fauna norvegica 2013 Vol. 32: 45-52. ISSN: 1502-4873 Diversity of Norwegian sea slugs (Nudibranchia): new species to Norwegian coastal waters and new data on distribution of rare species Jussi Evertsen1 and Torkild Bakken1 Evertsen J, Bakken T. 2013. Diversity of Norwegian sea slugs (Nudibranchia): new species to Norwegian coastal waters and new data on distribution of rare species. Fauna norvegica 32: 45-52. A total of 5 nudibranch species are reported from the Norwegian coast for the first time (Doridoxa ingolfiana, Goniodoris castanea, Onchidoris sparsa, Eubranchus rupium and Proctonotus mucro- niferus). In addition 10 species that can be considered rare in Norwegian waters are presented with new information (Lophodoris danielsseni, Onchidoris depressa, Palio nothus, Tritonia griegi, Tritonia lineata, Hero formosa, Janolus cristatus, Cumanotus beaumonti, Berghia norvegica and Calma glau- coides), in some cases with considerable changes to their distribution. These new results present an update to our previous extensive investigation of the nudibranch fauna of the Norwegian coast from 2005, which now totals 87 species. An increase in several new species to the Norwegian fauna and new records of rare species, some with considerable updates, in relatively few years results mainly from sampling effort and contributions by specialists on samples from poorly sampled areas. doi: 10.5324/fn.v31i0.1576.

  • Role of Reef-Building, Ecosystem Engineering Polychaetes in Shallow Water Ecosystems
    diversity Review Role of Reef-Building, Ecosystem Engineering Polychaetes in Shallow Water Ecosystems Martín Bruschetti 1,2 1 Instituto de Investigaciones Marinas y Costeras (IIMyC)-CONICET, Mar del Plata 7600, Argentina; [email protected] 2 Laboratorio de Ecología, Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata, FCEyN, Laboratorio de Ecología 7600, Argentina Received: 15 June 2019; Accepted: 15 September 2019; Published: 17 September 2019 Abstract: Although the effect of ecosystem engineers in structuring communities is common in several systems, it is seldom as evident as in shallow marine soft-bottoms. These systems lack abiotic three-dimensional structures but host biogenic structures that play critical roles in controlling abiotic conditions and resources. Here I review how reef-building polychaetes (RBP) engineer their environment and affect habitat quality, thus regulating community structure, ecosystem functioning, and the provision of ecosystem services in shallow waters. The analysis focuses on different engineering mechanisms, such as hard substrate production, effects on hydrodynamics, and sediment transport, and impacts mediated by filter feeding and biodeposition. Finally, I deal with landscape-level topographic alteration by RBP. In conclusion, RBP have positive impacts on diversity and abundance of many species mediated by the structure of the reef. Additionally, by feeding on phytoplankton and decreasing water turbidity, RBP can control primary production, increase light penetration, and might alleviate the effects of eutrophication

It is coordinated by the Marine Conservation Society. This report summarises the Seasearch activity in Wales in 2012. It includes summaries of the sites surveyed and identifies rare or unusual species and habitats encountered. These include a number of Welsh Biodiversity Action Plan habitats and species. It does not include all of the detailed data as this has been entered into the Marine Recorder database and supplied to Natural Resources Wales for use in its marine conservation activities. The data is also available on-line through the National Biodiversity Network. During 2012 we continued to focus on Biodiversity Action Plan species and habitats and on sites that had not been previously surveyed. Data from Wales in 2012 comprised 192 Observation Forms, 154 Survey Forms and 1 sea fan record. The total of 347 represents 19% of the data for the whole of Britain and Ireland. Seasearch in Wales is delivered by two Seasearch regional coordinators. Kate Lock coordinates the South and West Wales region which extends from the Severn estuary to Aberystwyth. Liz Morris coordinates the North Wales region which extends from Aberystwyth to the Dee. The two coordinators are assisted by a number of active Seasearch Tutors, Assistant Tutors and Dive Organisers. Overall guidance and support is provided by the National Seasearch Coordinator, Chris Wood.

  • Evidence and Implications of Marine Invertebrate Settlement on Eocene Otoliths from the Moodys Branch Formation of Montgomery Landing (Louisiana, U.S.A.)
    Cainozoic Research, 16(1), pp. 3-12, June 2016 3 Evidence and implications of marine invertebrate settlement on Eocene otoliths from the Moodys Branch Formation of Montgomery Landing (Louisiana, U.S.A.) Gary L. Stringer Museum of Natural History, University of Louisiana at Monroe, Monroe, Louisiana 71209, USA; [email protected] Received 2 November 2015, revised manuscript accepted 24 February 2016 Microscopic analysis of 3,256 fish otoliths from the Eocene Moodys Branch Formation at Montgomery Landing, Louisiana, U.S.A., revealed 93 specimens with evidence of marine invertebrate settlements, primarily encrustings and boreholes. Although size, abun­ dance, shape (stability), durability, and surface residence­time influenced the use of otoliths, key factors were size, abundance, and surface time. Invertebrates affecting otoliths were cnidarians (scleractinian solitary corals), bryozoans (cheilostome species), molluscs (mainly gastrochaenid bivalves), and annelids (serpulids), noted by larval form settlement, encrustation, and drilling. The size of the scleractinian corals, the time duration of the serpulids, encrustation by cnidarians and serpulids and paucity of other epifauna such as bryozoans, and the lengths of Gastrochaena borings appear to indicate that the otoliths did not remain exposed on the sea floor for an extended period. Surface residence­time may also explain why the abundant, diverse invertebrates present affected only about 3% of the otoliths. KEY WORDS: fish otoliths, Eocene, invertebrates, surface residence­time.
