    Pacific Plate Biogeography, with Special Reference to Shorefishes VICTOR G. SPRINGER m SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 367 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoo/ogy Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world cf science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Pempheris bexillon new species is described from the 129 mm SL holotype and 11 paratypes (119–141 mm SL) from the Comoro Islands. Twelve other specimens have been examined from the Agaléga Islands, Mascarene Islands, and Bassas da India (Madagascar). It is differentiated from other Pempheris by the following combination of characters: a yellow dor- sal fin with a black, distal margin along its full length, broadest on anterior rays (pupil-diameter width) and gradually nar- rowing posteriorly, the last ray with only a black tip; large, deciduous cycloid scales on the flank; dark, oblong spot on the pectoral-fin base; anal fin with a dark margin; segmented anal-fin rays 38–45 (usually >40); lateral-line scales 56–65; and total gill rakers on the first arch 31–35; iris reddish-brown. Tables of standard meristic and color data for type material of all nominal species of cycloid-scaled Pempheris in the Indo-Pacific are provided.

The study of the Portuguese marine ichthyofauna has a long historical tradition, rooted back in the 18th Century. Here we present an annotated checklist of the marine fishes from Portuguese waters, including the area encompassed by the proposed extension of the Portuguese continental shelf and the Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ). The list is based on historical literature records and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history collections, together with new revisions and occurrences.

Address correspondence to W. L. Smith at the address above, or e-mail: [email protected]. Abstract Knowledge of evolutionary relationships or phylogeny allows for effective predictions about the unstudied characteristics of species. These include the presence and biological activity of an organism’s venoms. To date, most venom bioprospecting has focused on snakes, resulting in six stroke and cancer treatment drugs that are nearing U.S. Food and Drug Administration review. Fishes, however, with thousands of venoms, represent an untapped resource of natural products. The first step in- volved in the efficient bioprospecting of these compounds is a phylogeny of venomous fishes. Here, we show the results of such an analysis and provide the first explicit suborder-level phylogeny for spiny-rayed fishes. The results, based on ;1.1 million aligned base pairs, suggest that, in contrast to previous estimates of 200 venomous fishes, .1,200 fishes in 12 clades should be presumed venomous.

FOR ss KÅL left small sheets with manuscript descriptions and names of various fish taxa, which were later compiled and edited by JOHANN CHRI S TIAN FABRI C IU S . Authorship, availability and validity of the fish names published by NIEBUHR (1775a) are examined and discussed in the present paper. Several subsequent authors used FOR ss KÅL ’s fish descriptions to interpret, redescribe or rename fish species.

Thesis submission for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Thesis Title and Abstract Declarations Inclusion of Publications Statement Corrected Thesis and Responses Thesis Title Dynamic distributions of coastal zooplanktivorous fishes Thesis Abstract Zooplanktivorous fishes are an essential trophic link transferring planktonic production to coastal ecosystems. Reef-associated or pelagic, their fast growth and high abundance are also crucial to supporting fisheries. I examined environmental drivers of their distribution across three levels of scale. Analysis of a decade of citizen science data off eastern Australia revealed that the proportion of community biomass for zooplanktivorous fishes peaked around the transition from sub-tropical to temperate latitudes, while the proportion of herbivores declined. This transition was attributed to high sub-tropical benthic productivity and low temperate planktonic productivity in winter.

Part II: Fish types inventoried after 25 April 1944 (Pisces). Spixiana 34 (2): 233-288. Part I of the ichthyological type catalogue of the ZSM (Neumann 2006) reviewed the historic “Old Collection”, of which types were apparently lost in the Second World War. Part II refers to type material physically available in ZSM, including historic types saved and re-inventoried. Rebuilding the ichthyological collection after the war, Otto Schindler received with the so-called “Kähsbauer Donations” historic fish specimens from the Naturhistorisches Museum Wien (NMW). Among them are types from the Natterer and Thayer expeditions to Brazil, from the Hase- man expeditions to South America and from Steindachner’s late Brazil expedition in 1903. As far as possible, exchanged specimens were critically reviewed, traced to original lots and compared with NMW acquisition entries for unambiguous identification. Additional historic type material was recovered from the “Zoologi- sche Präparatesammlung der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München” (ZPLMU), i.
