Ghost Shrimp Calliax De Saint Laurent, 1973 (Decapoda: Axiidea: Callianassidae) in the Fossil Record: Systematics, Palaeoecology and Palaeobiogeography

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Ghost shrimps of the family Callianassidae are very common in the fossil record, but mostly as isolated cheliped elements only. The assignment to biologically defined genera, diagnosed on the basis of soft part morphology, is thus rather diffi- cult. In this respect, proxy characters present on chelipeds that are the most durable ghost shrimp remains are needed to ascribe fossil material to extant genera. The genus Calliax de Saint Laurent, 1973 has been particularly obscure in this respect. Thorough comparison of extant members of the genus resulted in evaluation of characters present on chelipeds being taxonomically important on the genus level, specifically: 1) rectangular major P1 propodus with two ridges on the base of the fixed finger extending onto manus; 2) major P1 fingers relatively short; and 3) minor P1 chela with dactylus longer than fixed finger and possessing a wide gap between fingers. -
Systematics, Phylogeny, and Taphonomy of Ghost Shrimps (Decapoda): a Perspective from the Fossil Record

Abstract Ghost shrimps of Callianassidae and Ctenochelidae are soft-bodied, usually heterochelous decapods representing major bioturbators of muddy and sandy (sub)marine substrates. Ghost shrimps have a robust fossil record spanning from the Early Cretaceous (~ 133 Ma) to the Holocene and their remains are present in most assemblages of Cenozoic decapod crustaceans. Their taxonomic interpretation is in flux, mainly because the generic assignment is hindered by their insufficient preservation and disagreement in the biological classification. Fur- thermore, numerous taxa are incorrectly classified within the catch-all taxonCallianassa . To show the historical patterns in describing fos- sil ghost shrimps and to evaluate taphonomic aspects influencing the attribution of ghost shrimp remains to higher level taxa, a database of all fossil species treated at some time as belonging to the group has been compiled: 250 / 274 species are considered valid ghost shrimp taxa herein. -
Relative Growth, Sexual Maturity and Handedness in the Ghost Shrimp Callichirus Major (Decapoda: Callianassidae) from the Southwestern Atlantic

General Ve- lásquez 1775, Arica, Chile. Summary: Biometric studies provide valuable information about changes associated with the growth and sexual maturity of living organisms. We analysed sexual dimorphism, allometric growth, sexual maturity and handedness in the ghost shrimp Callichirus major at Gonzaga beach, Brazil, where the catches of this species have been prohibited since 1992. To this end, a total of 544 individuals of C. major were collected during 12 months of sampling. Males were significantly smaller than fe- males, denoting sexual dimorphism with respect to body size. The analysis of allometric growth between chelar carpus length and carapace length (CL) revealed a positive allometric relationship in juveniles of both sexes and adult males, but a negative allometry in adult females. -

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The type status of specimens of three species of the axiid genus Eiconaxius Bate, 1888 from the Caribbean Sea is clarified. Eiconaxius agassizi Bouvier, 1905, E. borradailei Bouvier, 1905 and E. caribbaeus (Faxon, 1896) are diagnosed and il- lustrated. Axius (Eiconaxius) communis Bouvier, 1905, Axius (Eiconaxius) rotundifrons Bouvier, 1905, and Axius (Eico- naxius) caribbaeus carinatus Bouvier, 1925, hitherto treated as valid species, are synonymised with E. caribbaeus. Lectotypes are selected for Eiconaxius agassizi Bouvier, 1905 and Eiconaxius borradailei Bouvier, 1905. Key words: Axiidae, Eiconaxius, taxonomy, type status Introduction The axiid genus Eiconaxius Bate, 1888 comprises more than 30 species confined to deep water that are, as far as is known, associates of sponges (Komai & Tsuchida 2012). The US Coast Survey Steamer Blake surveyed the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea between 1877 and 1880. Faxon (1896) described the first species of Eiconaxius from this collection but the bulk of the reptant decapod collection was studied by the French zoologist Eugène Louis Bouvier (1856–1944) at the Muséum nationale d’Histoire naturelle, Paris (MNHN). -

Burrowing and Feeding Ecology of the Ghost Shrimp Biffarius Arenosus (Decapoda: Callianassidae)
BURROWING AND FEEDING ECOLOGY OF THE GHOST SHRIMP BIFFARIUS ARENOSUS (DECAPODA: CALLIANASSIDAE). Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Victoria University of Technology by Fiona Louise Bird B.Sc. (Hons) Department of Biological and Food Sciences Faculty of Science Victoria University of Technology November, 1997 THESIS 595.3887 BIR 30001005348901 Bird, Fiona L Burrowing and feeding ecology of the ghost shrimp Biffarius arenosus Frontispiece Bijfarius arenosus 11 DECLARATION The research in this thesis has not been previously submitted for a degree or diploma in any University. The thesis contains no material that has been previously published or written by another person, except where due reference is made in the thesis itself. FIONA L. BIRD ni ABSTRACT The thalassinidean ghost shrimp, Biffarius arenosus (Decapoda: Callianassidae), is a dominant component of coastal soft sediment communities in temperate south-eastern Australia. This thesis investigated the burrowing and feeding ecology of a population of shrimps inhabiting an intertidal sandflat in Western Port, Victoria. Biffarius arenosus constructs dynamic, unlined burrows with a complex shape indicating that the shrimps exploit the subsurface food supply. A multiple stable isotope study revealed that the food source was sedimentary organic matter, primarily derived from decomposing seagrass and seagrass epiphytes. Feeding and burrowing activity of the shrimps resulted in comparatively larger particles being ejected from burrows to the sediment surface. An investigation of the impact of burrowing and feeding activity on physiochemical and microbial properties of the sediment revealed that the burrow wall sediments were relatively more oxidised (measured via platinum redox electrodes) and had higher microbial enzyme activity rates (quantified via the hydrolysis of fluorescein diacetate) than surrounding subsurface sediments. -
Axiidea and Gebiidea (Crustacea: Decapoda) of Costa Rica
©Naturhistorisches Museum Wien, download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Ann. Naturhist. Mus. Wien, B 115 37-55 Wien, März 2013 Axiidea and Gebiidea (Crustacea: Decapoda) of Costa Rica P. C. Dworschak* Abstract Axiidea and Gebiidea housed in the collections of the Museo de Zoologia, Universidad de Costa Rica, were studied together with newly collected material. Ninety-one lots were inspected; specimens of eleven lots newly identified; identifications of six lots have been revised. This resulted in twelve new records for Pacific Costa Rica (Aethogebia gorei, Axianassa mineri , Axiopsis baronai, Calocarides cf. quinqueseriatus, Covalaxius galapagensis, Corallianassa xutha, Neocallichinis cf. mortenseni, Paraxiopsis cf. spinipleura, Upogebia longipollex, Upogebia onychion, Upogebia tenuipollex, and Upogebia veleronis), mainly from Isla de Coco, and one new record for Caribbean Costa Rica ( Axiopsis serratifrons). Key words: Thalassinidea, Axiidea, Gebiidea, Costa Rica Introduction Axiidean and gebiidean shrimps (Crustacea, Decapoda, formerly Thalassinidea) are among the most common macrofauna elements in the intertidal or the shallow subtidal (D w o r sc h a k , 2000, 2005). They have received special attention as their burrowing activity greatly influences the chemical and geophysical properties of sediments (Z iebis et al. 1996) and have therefore been identified as important ecosystem engineers (B er k en b u sc h & R o w d en 2003). The axiidean and gebiidean fauna of Costa Rica has been summarised as part of the decapod fauna (as Thalassinidea) by V a rg a s & C ortes (1999a) for the Caribbean and by V a r g a s & C ortes (1999b) for the Pacific coast. They list only two species for the Caribbean and 13 for the Pacific, respectively.
