A single specimen collected in 1924 from Port Said harbour, Egypt, was hitherto the only record of the species in the Mediterranean Sea. The cluster of specimens documented herein suggests the species has recently established a population along the southern Levantine coast. Key words: Lucifer hanseni, Decapoda, Erythrean alien, Mediterranean, Israel Introduction Material and methods The Levantine littoral biota has an ever The GOC Several samples were collected in increasing component of Erythrean aliens (Galil 2008–2011 along the Mediterranean coastline of 2009). Many of these have spread westwards, Israel: off Herzlia, 2.05.2011, depth 11–13 m, 9 some reaching the western Mediterranean specimens (2♀, 3♂, OUMNH.ZC.2012. 04.0001, (Sánchez-Tocino et al. 2007; Daniel et al. 2009). remainder in RE collection); off Maagan A considerable proportion of these are Michael, 14.04.2011, depth 5 m, 1 specimen (RE crustaceans, with Galil (2011) listing 106 alien collection); northeast of Ashdod, 31°56.389N species in the Mediterranean.

Discussion Prior to the present records, the only record of Lucifer hanseni in the Mediterranean is by Balss (1927) who recorded the species from Port Said, based on material collected during the Figure 1.

This record has been variously treated in C, uropods. subsequent literature: Galil et al. (2002) consi- dered it as having “only a single reliable record”. Similarly, Zenetos et al. (2005) considered it as a Results “casual” species, i.e., presumed not to be established. However, Holthuis and Gottlieb Family Luciferidae De Haan, 1849 (1958) state that the identification of this Lucifer hanseni Nobili, 1905 (Figure 1) material is not certain, referring back to Balss Lucifer hanseni Nobili, 1905: 395; 1906: 25-27; (1927).

Males of Gurney (1927b), who himself took part in the both species can be easily separated on account Cambridge Expedition, when discussing the of the larger, recurved anterior process on the larval development of the species, mentions that sixth abdominal segment in L. typus (vs. smaller, the doubt expressed in Balss (1927) stems from non-recurved in L. hanseni) as well as the the fact that the males sent to Balss were comparatively much longer eyestalks in L. typus apparently lost in the post.

As females lack the processes on states that males were rare in the plankton the sixth abdominal segment, identification is samples collected during the expedition, but that more difficult, although the comparative length the two available adult males and two nearly of the eyestalk can be used. Further details to adult males match the description in Hansen separate both species can be found in Hansen (1919) and there can be no doubt as to their (1919), Petit (1973) and Naomi et al.

  • Occurrence and Distribution of the Planktonic Shrimps of the Genus Lucifer in the EEZ of India
    J. mar. biol. Ass. India, 47 (1) : 20 - 30, Jan. - June, 2005 Occurrence and distribution of the planktonic shrimps of the genus Lucifer in the EEZ of India Geetha Antony Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Cochin - 682 018, India Abstract The distribution and abundance of decapod shrimps of the family Luciferidae De Haan, 1849 under the super family Sergestoidea Dana, 1852 in the Exclusive Economic Zone of India were studied based on 918 zooplankton samples collected during 37 cruises of FORV Sugar Sampada. All the seven species recorded elsewhere in the world namely, L. @pus H. Milne Edwards, L. hnnseni Nobili, L. penicillifer Hansen, L. faxoni Borradaile, L. chacei Bowman, L, intermedius Hansen and L. orientalis Hansen have been found to occur in the Indian EEZ of which the last three are new records. L. penicillifer is the predominant species in the eastern Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal and L. typus in the island ecosystems of Lakshadweep and Andaman- Nicobar. The neretic region of the Indian EEZ up to 50 m depth supports 51% of these shrimps, the mid-shelf between 50 and lOOm harbours 29%, whereas 12% occur in the outer shelf (100 and 200m) and 8% in the deep zone (>200 m). The presence of L.penicillifer in the eastern Arabian Sea and L.hanseni in the Lakshadweep waters is reported for the first time. Matrix of correlation revealed the highest co-occurrence of these shrimps in the Andaman-Nicobar waters wherein six of the Lucifer species co-exist. Diagnostic characters used in species identi- fication are given and illustrated.

GONZÁLEZ University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, i-UNAT, Campus de Tafira, 35017 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain. E-mail: [email protected]. ORCID iD: 0000-0001-8584-6731. Abstract The complete list of Canarian marine decapods (last update by González & Quiles 2003, popular book) currently com- prises 374 species/subspecies, grouped in 198 genera and 82 families; whereas the Cape Verdean marine decapods (now fully listed for the first time) are represented by 343 species/subspecies with 201 genera and 80 families. Due to changing environmental conditions, in the last decades many subtropical/tropical taxa have reached the coasts of the Canary Islands. Comparing the carcinofaunal composition and their biogeographic components between the Canary and Cape Verde ar- chipelagos would aid in: validating the appropriateness in separating both archipelagos into different ecoregions (Spalding et al. 2007), and understanding faunal movements between areas of benthic habitat. The consistency of both ecoregions is here compared and validated by assembling their decapod crustacean checklists, analysing their taxa composition, gath- ering their bathymetric data, and comparing their biogeographic patterns. Four main evidences (i.e. different taxa; diver- gent taxa composition; different composition of biogeographic patterns; different endemicity rates) support that separation, especially in coastal benthic decapods; and these parametres combined would be used as a valuable tool at comparing biotas from oceanic archipelagos.

XU* East China Sea Fisheries Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Fisheries Sciences, 300 Jungong Road, Shanghai 200090, P. R. China Received 26 December 2007; Accepted 26 August 2010 Abstract: Distribution patterns and abundance of the epiplanktonic shrimp Lucifer were examined in the East China Sea (23°30Ј–33°N, 118°30Ј–128°E), in relation to temperature and salinity. A total of 443 samples were collected from four seasonal surveys conducted between 1997 and 2000. The yield density model was used to predict optimal tempera- ture (OT) and optimal salinity (OS) of four Lucifer species: Lucifer typus, L. hanseni, L. intermedius and L. penicillifer. Thereafter, their distribution patterns were determined. The results indicated that these species are the most abundant in summer. Lucifer typus, with OT of 28.0°C and OS of 33.8, is considered to be an oceanic tropic water species. The species is mainly found in the northern waters off Taiwan in summer and autumn. Lucifer hanseni, L. intermedius and L. penicillifer, with OTs of 26.4, 28.0, 27.4°C and OSs of 33.6, 33.4, 33.2, are off-shore subtropical water species. They are mainly distributed in the south off-shore the East China Sea and north of Taiwan.

    LABORATORIES, LYCEUMS, LORDS: THE NATIONAL ZOOLOGICAL PARK AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF HUMANISM IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY AMERICA DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Daniel A. Vandersommers, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Professor Randolph Roth, Advisor Professor John L. Brooke Professor Chris Otter Copyright by Daniel A. Vandersommers 2014 ABSTRACT This dissertation tells the story of how a zoo changed the world. Certainly, Charles Darwin shocked scientists with his 1859 publication On the Origin of Species, by showing how all life emerged from a common ancestor through the process of natural selection. Darwin’s classic, though, cannot explain why by the end of the century many people thought critically about the relationship between humans and animals. To understand this phenomenon, historians need to look elsewhere. Between 1870 and 1910, as Darwinism was debated endlessly in intellectual circles, zoological parks appeared suddenly at the heart of every major American city and had (at least) tens of millions of visitors. Darwin’s theory of evolution inspired scientists and philosophers to theorize about humans and animals. Public zoos, though, allowed the multitudes to experience daily the similarities between the human world and the animal kingdom. Upon entering the zoo, Americans saw the world’s exotic species for the first time—their long necks, sharp teeth, bright colors, gargantuan sizes, ivory extremities, spots, scales, and stripes. Yet, more significantly, Americans listened to these animals too. They learned to take animals seriously as they interacted with them along zoo walkways.

  • Decapoda (Crustacea) of the Gulf of Mexico, with Comments on the Amphionidacea
    •59 Decapoda (Crustacea) of the Gulf of Mexico, with Comments on the Amphionidacea Darryl L. Felder, Fernando Álvarez, Joseph W. Goy, and Rafael Lemaitre The decapod crustaceans are primarily marine in terms of abundance and diversity, although they include a variety of well- known freshwater and even some semiterrestrial forms. Some species move between marine and freshwater environments, and large populations thrive in oligohaline estuaries of the Gulf of Mexico (GMx). Yet the group also ranges in abundance onto continental shelves, slopes, and even the deepest basin floors in this and other ocean envi- ronments. Especially diverse are the decapod crustacean assemblages of tropical shallow waters, including those of seagrass beds, shell or rubble substrates, and hard sub- strates such as coral reefs. They may live burrowed within varied substrates, wander over the surfaces, or live in some Decapoda. After Faxon 1895. special association with diverse bottom features and host biota.
