An Eclectic Overview of the SA Marine Science Community
A biologists’ personal overview of the SA Marine Science community and its outputs (2001-2006)*1 Mark J Gibbons, Department of Biodiversity and Conservation Biology, University of the Western Cape, Private Bag X17, Bellville 7535, South Africa. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT I have analysed 1 295 of the outputs published by the South African Marine Science Community (SAMSC) in either peer-reviewed journals or as books/book chapters for the period 2001-2006, with a view to identifying trends in the field, summarizing institutional overlaps and assessing the demographic state-of-play. Although almost 70% of our outputs were published internationally, we published the bulk of our research in strictly marine science journals which suggests, perhaps, that we need to be thinking bigger. More than 22% of all outputs were led by International colleagues, and these were published in journals with a significantly higher Impact Factor than those led by local authors. Women led less than 25%, and persons from previously disadvantaged backgrounds led less than 10%, of all outputs: this needs monitoring, discussion and pro-active response by employers. Thirty-six authors (~95% male, ~97% white) were responsible for more than 50% of all outputs, which suggests that the field is not totally dominated by an ageing cohort. Despite the fact that the bulk of the SAMSC is centred in the SW Cape, our study areas are approximately equally spread around the coastline, though there is an obvious institutional bias to the geographical location of study sites. Globally-orientated studies were generally published in “better” outlets than locally-orientated work, and were more likely to be led by international colleagues. -

Effects of Ocean Acidification on Sponge Communities
Marine Ecology. ISSN 0173-9565 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Effects of ocean acidification on sponge communities Claire Goodwin1, Riccardo Rodolfo-Metalpa2, Bernard Picton1 & Jason M. Hall-Spencer2 1 National Museums Northern Ireland, Holywood, County Down, UK 2 Marine Biology and Ecology Research Centre, Plymouth University, Plymouth, UK Keywords Abstract CO2 vents; Mediterranean; ocean acidification; Porifera; sponge; volcanic vents. The effects of ocean acidification on lower invertebrates such as sponges may be pronounced because of their low capacity for acid–base regulation. However, so Correspondence far, most studies have focused on calcifiers. We present the first study of the Claire Goodwin, National Museums Northern effects of ocean acidification on the Porifera. Sponge species composition and Ireland, 153 Bangor Road, Cultra, Holywood, cover along pH gradients at CO2 vents off Ischia (Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy) was County Down BT20 5QZ, UK. measured at sites with normal pH (8.1–8.2), lowered pH (mean 7.8–7.9, min E-mail: [email protected] 7.4–7.5) and extremely low pH (6.6). There was a strong correlation between pH Accepted: 4 July 2013 and both sponge cover and species composition. Crambe crambe was the only species present in any abundance in the areas with mean pH 6.6, seven species doi: 10.1111/maec.12093 were present at mean pH 7.8–7.9 and four species (Phorbas tenacior, Petrosia fici- formis, Chondrilla nucula and Hemimycale columella) were restricted to sites with normal pH. Sponge percentage cover decreased significantly from normal to acidified sites. No significant effect of increasing CO2 levels and decreasing pH was found on spicule form in Crambe crambe. -
Taxonomy and Diversity of the Sponge Fauna from Walters Shoal, a Shallow Seamount in the Western Indian Ocean Region
Taxonomy and diversity of the sponge fauna from Walters Shoal, a shallow seamount in the Western Indian Ocean region By Robyn Pauline Payne A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Magister Scientiae in the Department of Biodiversity and Conservation Biology, University of the Western Cape.

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. -

Fifteen bryozoan species in 11 families are described, comprising two cyclostomes and 13 cheilostomes. Two cheilostome genera and seven species are new: Antropora guajirensis n. sp., Calpensia caribensis n. sp., Atoichos magnus n. gen. n. sp., Gymnophorella hadra n. gen. n. sp., Cribrilaria multicostata n. -

With 2 figures Are predatory birds effective secondary seed dispersers? MANUEL NOGALES*, VICENTE QUILIS, FÉLIX M. MEDINA, JUAN L. MORA and LAURA S. TRIGO Departamento de Biología Animal (Zoología), 38206 Universidad de La Laguna, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain Received 10 June 2001; accepted for publication 2 November 2001 We have studied the unusual phenomenon of secondary seed dispersal of Lycium intricatum seeds on a small oceanic Atlantic island (Alegranza, Canarian Archipelago) in which a small frugivorous lizard (Gallotia atlantica) and two different predatory birds participate, a shrike (Lanius excubitor) and a kestrel (Falco tinnunculus). Endemic lizards that are common prey of both bird species consume Lycium fruits. Lizard remains were significantly matched with the presence of Lycium fruits in the regurgitation pellets of the two predatory birds. Seeds were found in 7.3% of the lizard droppings, 31.0% of kestrel pellets and 55.7% of shrike regurgitations. The mean number of seeds per dropping or pellet was 4.8 ± 4 in lizard, 20.2 ± 34.5 in shrike and 6.7 ± 8.1 in kestrel. The percentage of viable seeds showed significant differences among all four treatments, decreasing in the following direction: seeds collected directly from plants (98.0%), shrikes (88.0%), lizards (72.3%), and kestrels (31.7%). Seeds from Lycium fresh fruits and shrike pellets showed significantly higher germination rates than those from lizard droppings and kestrel pellets. -

This species shows three distinct zooid types during summer: the R (rib), I (intermediate), and S (shield) types. Evidence indicates that zooids commit to development as a given type, rather than transform from one type to another with age. Differences in the frontal spinocyst among the types appear to be mediated by a simple developmental mechanism, acceleration or retardation in the production of lateral costal fusions as the costae elongate during ontogeny. Colonies of all three types were identical, or nearly so, in partial nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial COI gene (555–631 bp), suggesting that they represent a single species. -

For White-faced Storm- petrel Pelagodroma marina, Madeiran Storm-petrel Oceanodroma Castro, Lesser Black- backed Gull Larus [fuscus] graellsii and Yellow-leggedGull Larus cachinnans atlantis, some new colonies were discovered on different islets. All species have maintained their numbers the last 15 with the the which over years, exception of Yellow-leggedGull, has undergonea in well-documented increase; 1987, about 400 breedingpairs were estimated but during the present study, almost 1000 pairs were counted. In addition, some comments on threats to these seabird populations are presented.
