Hoare ABSTRACT Brachiopods are the most common and better preserved of the larger invertebrate fossils in the Maxville Lime- stone (Mississippian, Chesterian) in Ohio. Among the 14 taxa recognized, Diaphragm us cestriensis (Worthen), Composita subquadrata (Hall), and Girtyella indianaensis (Girty) are the most common. Pugnoides macgordoni n. sp., Torynifer setigera (Hall), Lingula sp., and Buxtonia? sp. are recognized for the first time in the Maxville fauna. The presence of Martinia contracta (Meek & Worthen) and a large, globose, gerontic specimen of Orthotetes kaskaskiensis (McChesney) may correlate part of the Maxville Limestone with the

SUMMARY: The present-day brachiopods from the Mediterranean Sea were thoroughly described by nineteenth-century workers, to the extent that Logan’s revision in 1979 listed the same 11 species as Davidson, almost 100 years earlier. Since then recent discoveries, mainly from cave habitats inaccessible to early workers, have increased the number of species to 14. The validity of additional forms, which are either contentious or based on scanty evidence, is evaluated here. Preferred substrates and approximate bio-depth zones of all species are given and their usefulness for paleoecological reconstruction is discussed. A previous dearth of material from the eastern Mediterranean has now been at least partially remedied by new records from the coasts of Cyprus, Israel, Egypt, and, in particular, Lebanon and the southern Aegean Sea. While 11 species (79 % of the whole fauna) have now been recorded from the eastern basin, Terebratulina retusa, Argyrotheca cistellula, Megathiris detruncata and Platidia spp.

Eernisse* Department of Biological Sciences, Dartmouth College, Hanover NH 03755, USA; and *Department of Biological Science, California State University, Fullerton CA 92834-6850, USA *Author for correspondence (email: [email protected]) SUMMARY Insight into the origin and early evolution of the and protostomes, with ctenophores the bilaterian sister- animal phyla requires an understanding of how animal group, whereas 18S rDNA suggests that the root is within the groups are related to one another. Thus, we set out to explore Lophotrochozoa with acoel flatworms and gnathostomulids animal phylogeny by analyzing with maximum parsimony 138 as basal bilaterians, and with cnidarians the bilaterian sister- morphological characters from 40 metazoan groups, and 304 group. We suggest that this basal position of acoels and gna- 18S rDNA sequences, both separately and together. Both thostomulids is artifactal because for 1000 replicate phyloge- types of data agree that arthropods are not closely related to netic analyses with one random sequence as outgroup, the annelids: the former group with nematodes and other molting majority root with an acoel flatworm or gnathostomulid as the animals (Ecdysozoa), and the latter group with molluscs and basal ingroup lineage. When these problematic taxa are elim- other taxa with spiral cleavage. Furthermore, neither brachi- inated from the matrix, the combined analysis suggests that opods nor chaetognaths group with deuterostomes; brachiopods the root lies between the deuterostomes and protostomes, are allied with the molluscs and annelids (Lophotrochozoa), and Ctenophora is the bilaterian sister-group.

    New record of Novocrania (Brachiopoda, Craniida) from Madeira, with notes on Recent brachiopod occurrences in the Macaronesian archipelagos ALAN LOGAN, PETER WIRTZ & FRANK SWINNEN Logan, A., P. Wirtz & F. Swinnen, 2007. New record of Novocrania (Brachiopoda, Craniida) from Madeira, with notes on Recent brachiopod occurrences in the Macaronesian archipelagos. Arquipélago. Life and Marine Sciences 24: 17-22. The inarticulated brachiopod Novocrania anomala (Müller) is recorded for the first time from Madeira Island, bringing the total of living species for that area to six. Updated comparisons of Recent brachiopod diversities between the Macaronesian archipelagos show similar values for Madeira, the Cape Verde Islands and the Azores but higher values for the Canary Islands. Comparisons are also made between shallow-water cave and crevice communities in Madeira, the Canary Islands and the Cape Verde Islands, where dense populations of one or two brachiopod species are thriving in cryptic habitats where competition for space and resources is presumably reduced. No such occurrences have yet been found in the Azores.

  • Brachiopoden Behoren Tot De Meest Tot De Verbeelding Sprekende Fossielen
    45 DE RECENTE EN TERTIAIRE BRACHIOPODEN VAN HET NEDERLANDSE STRAND - EEN INVENTARISATIE VAN DE LITERATUUR EN COMMENTAAR OP HET VERMEENDE VOORKOMEN VAN GWYNIA CAPSULA (JEFFREYS, 1859) IN ZEEUWS-VLAANDEREN - R.P.A. VOSKUIL INLEIDING Brachiopoden behoren tot de meest tot de verbeelding sprekende fossielen. Recent komen nog ongeveer 350 soorten voor in alle wereldzeeën, van de Noord- tot de Zuidpool, van getijdenzone tot in de diepzee. Hoewel er enkele malen recente brachiopoden van de Nederlandse kust gemeld zijn, betreft dit waarschijnlijk allemaal door de visserij aangevoerde exemplaren en is tot op dit moment nog nooit het autochtoon voorkomen van een recente soort in onze kustwateren aangetoond. Wel worden vaak brachiopoden van Pliocene ouderdom in Nederland aangetroffen. De Kaloot is een prima plek om exem- plaren te verzamelen en de kalkbranderijen van Den Briel leverden vroeger veel exemplaren op. Omdat de exemplaren uit pliocene lagen gespoeld zijn, is de staat van conservering altijd matig tot slecht. Er worden alleen losse kleppen gevonden en het zo belangrijke armskelet in de rugklep is altijd verdwenen. Ongelukkigerwijs liet Lacourt zijn oog vallen op de groep en publiceerde (1983a-1984d) in Vita Marina een overzicht van Tertiaire brachiopoden die volgens hem op het Nederlandse strand te vinden zijn. Ik zeg hier ongelukkiger- wijs omdat Lacourt in deze publicatie overduidelijk laat zien dat de essentie van de brachiopodensystematiek hem ontgaan is. Niet alleen laat hij in zijn literatuuroverzicht het op dat moment gangbare en algemeen verkrijgbare standaardwerk van Moore (1965a, 1965b) ongenoemd, waaruit hij veel rele- vante kennis had kunnen putten. Bovendien laat hij nergens in zijn publicatie merken dat een van de belangrijkste kenmerken waarop de systematiek van de meeste recente gearticuleerde brachiopoden gebaseerd is, het armskelet of brachidium in de rugklep, op hem enige indruk van belang gemaakt heeft.

  • Abstract Volume
    th German Zoological Society 105 Annual Meeting Abstract Volume September 21 – 24, 2012 University of Konstanz, Germany Sponsored by: Dear Friends of the Zoological Sciences! Welcome to Konstanz, to the 105 th annual meeting of the German Zoological Society (Deutsche ZoologischeGesellschaft, DZG) – it is a great pleasure and an honor to have you here as our guests! We are delighted to have presentations of the best and most recent research in Zoology from Germany. The emphasis this year is on evolutionary biology and neurobiology, reflecting the research foci the host laboratories from the University of Konstanz, but, as every year, all Fachgruppen of our society are represented – and this promisesto be a lively, diverse and interesting conference. You will recognize the standard schedule of our yearly DZG meetings: invited talks by the Fachgruppen, oral presentations organized by the Fachgruppen, keynote speakers for all to be inspired by, and plenty of time and space to meet and discuss in front of posters. This year we were able to attract a particularly large number of keynote speakers from all over the world. Furthermore, we have added something new to the DZG meeting: timely symposia about genomics, olfaction, and about Daphnia as a model in ecology and evolution. In addition, a symposium entirely organized by the PhD-Students of our International Max Planck Research School “Organismal Biology” complements the program. We hope that you will have a chance to take advantage of the touristic offerings of beautiful Konstanz and the Bodensee. The lake is clean and in most places it is easily accessed for a swim, so don’t forget to bring your swim suits.A record turnout of almost 600 participants who have registered for this year’s DZG meeting is a testament to the attractiveness of Konstanz for both scientific and touristic reasons.

Biodiversity Data Journal 4: e8169. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.4.e8169 Abstract Background Until today, only scattered species records of Brachiopoda from Greece have been included in publications on the Mediterranean brachiopod fauna. These records were mostly based on material collected during marine expeditions in the eastern Mediterranean decades ago, while few recent additional records appear in ecological studies. The aim of this paper was to give the first checklist of brachiopod species of Greece, in the framework of the Greek Taxon Information System (GTIS) initiative of the LifeWatchGreece Research Infrastructure (ESFRI), by reviewing the existing literature. New information Twelve brachiopod species have been found in Greek waters so far. The nomenclature, distribution, fossil records, ecology, and literature sources are discussed for each species.

  • Argiope Barroisi Schulgin, 1885, Synonym of Argyrotheca Cuneata (Risso, 1826)
    11/2/2020 Brachiopoda : Argiope barroisi synonym of Argyrotheca cuneata Argiope barroisi Schulgin, 1885, synonym of Argyrotheca cuneata (Risso, 1826) by Christian C. Emig [*] BrachNet Recently, the validity of Argiope barroisi quoted under Megathiris became questionable in the Brachiopoda database. This species was described by Schulgin (1885) in a study, generally missed in references of almost all authors. Even in the Treatise, his reference appears only in the volume 1 (1997) in the part anatomy. In Villafranca (Sicily), Schulgin (1885) recorded this species (Fig. 1) rather common in meadows, fixed on the seagrass Posidonia oceanica, occasionally on stones, depth until 30 m, and together with another brachiopod species he described under Argiope kowalevskii, today a synonym of Joania cordata. In a study just issued, Albano & Stockinger (2019) describe the distribution of Joania cordata and Argyrotheca cuneata (Fig. 2) in a Posidonia meadow at Plakias (Crete, Greece): the first species represents around 65% of living brachiopod individuals. Most living specimens were attached with their pedicle to any hard substrate available such as rhizome fragments, coralline algae, sessile foraminifera, bryozoan colonies, and empty gastropod shells. Previously occurrences in such Mediterranean meadows had already been reported, i.e., by Eugene (1978), Taddei Ruggiero (1985), Evangelisti et al. (2011, 2012, 2014) and of course by Schulgin (1885). All authors also mention the occurrence of some valves of Megathiris detruncata and Novocrania anomala. Fig. 1. Argiope cuneata (3), which size is 3 Fig. 2.
