  • Taxonomic Study of the Pagurus Forbesii "Complex" (Crustacea
    Taxonomic study of the Pagurus forbesii "complex" (Crustacea: Decapoda: Paguridae). Description of Pagurus pseudosculptimanus sp. nov. from Alborán Sea (Southern Spain, Western Mediterranean Sea). GARCÍA MUÑOZ J.E.1, CUESTA J.A.2 & GARCÍA RASO J.E.1* 1 Dept. Biología Animal, Fac. Ciencias, Univ. Málaga, Campus de Teatinos s/n, 29071 Málaga, Spain. 2 Inst. Ciencias Marinas de Andalucía (CSIC), Av. República Saharaui, 2, 11519 Puerto Real, Cádiz, Spain. * Corresponding author - e-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT The study of hermit crabs from Alboran Sea has allowed recognition of two different morphological forms under what had been understood as Pagurus forbesii. Based on morphological observations with various species of Pagurus, and molecular studies, a new species is defined and described as P. pseudosculptimanus. An overview on species of Pagurus from the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea is provided. Key words: Pagurus, new species, Mediterranean, eastern Atlantic. 1 Introduction More than 170 species from around the world are currently assigned to the genus Pagurus Fabricius, 1775 (Lemaitre and Cruz Castaño 2004; Mantelatto et al. 2009; McLaughlin 2003, McLaughlin et al. 2010). This genus is complex because of there is high morphological variability and similarity among some species, and has been divided in groups (e.g. Lemaitre and Cruz Castaño 2004 for eastern Pacific species; Ingle, 1985, for European species) with difficulty (Ayón-Parente and Hendrickx 2012). This difficulty has lead to taxonomic problems, although molecular techniques have been recently used to elucidate some species (Mantelatto et al. 2009; Da Silva et al. 2011). Thirteen species are present in eastern Atlantic (European and the adjacent African waters) (Ingle 1993; Udekem d'Acoz 1999; Froglia, 2010, MarBEL Data System - Türkay 2012, García Raso et al., in press) but only nine of these (the first ones mentioned below) have been cited in the Mediterranean Sea, all of them are present in the study area (Alboran Sea, southern Spain).

Calcinus vachoni Forest, 1958, new to Taiwan, was collected under large rocks or on the branches of corals at about 0 to 3 m depth, while C. seurati Forest, 1951, was found on the high intertidal pool of the coral reefs. These two species are easily re­ cognized by their apparent coloration (shown on the living color plates). Further dis­ cussion is made of the color variation of eyestalks of C. vachoni. Since the nomen­ clature of these two species adopted in some previous publications is misleading, we define their taxonomic status and delimit their distributions correctly.

Patagurus is characterized by a subtriangular, vault- ed, calcified carapace, with large, wing-like lateral processes, and is closely related to two other atypical pagurid genera, Porcellanopagurus Filhol, 1885 and Solitariopagurus Türkay, 1986. The broad, fully calcified carapace, calcified bran- chiostegites, as well as broad and rigidly articulated thoracic sternites make this remarkable animal one of the most crab- like hermit crabs. Patagurus rex carries small bivalve shells to protect its greatly reduced pleon. Carcinization pathways among asymmetrical hermit crabs and other anomurans are briefly reviewed and discussed. Key words: Decapoda, Paguridae, hermit crab, deep-water, carcinization, Porcellanopagurus, Solitariopagurus, Indo- West Pacific Introduction Carcinization, or development of a crab-like body plan, is a term describing an important evolutionary tendency within the large crustacean order Decapoda. The term “carcinization” was coined by Borradaile (1916) with reference to crab-like modifications in the hermit crab genus Porcellanopagurus Filhol, 1885 (Paguridae).

Recent records of lithodid crabs in deeper waters off the Antarctic continental slope raised the question of the return of crabs to Antarctic waters, following their extinction in the lower Miocene ;15 million years ago. Antarctic cooling may be responsible for the impoverishment of the marine high Antarctic decapod fauna, presently comprising only ®ve benthic shrimp species. Effects of polar conditions on marine life, including lowered metabolic rates and short seasonal food availability, are discussed as main evolutionary driving forces shaping Antarctic diversity. In particular, planktotrophic larval stages should be vulnerable to the mismatch of prolonged development and short periods of food avail- ability, selecting against complex life cycles. We hypothesize that larval lecithotrophy and cold tolerance, as recently observed in Subantarctic lithodids, represent, together with other adaptations in the adults, key features among the life-history adaptations of lithodids, potentially enabling them to conquer polar ecosystems. The return of benthic top predators to high Antarctic waters under conditions of climate change would considerably alter the benthic communities.

([email protected]) Abstract A new species of Paguridae, Pagurus ikedai, from the Tokyo Submarine Canyon and vicinity, Japan, is described and fully illustrated, including infoimation on live coloration. This new species is distinguished primarily by size and shape of the chelipeds, in particular the massiveness of the left, and the presence in some males of a papilla or very short sexual tube on the right coxa of the fifth pereopod and a papilla on the coxa of the left. It is assigned to the bernhardus group which now includes eight species. Key words: Hermit crab, Pagiuidae, Pagurus, new species, bernhardus group, Tokyo Submarine Canyon,Japan Introduction As part of long-term benthic faunal and ecological studies begun in the early 1960's (e.g., Ikeda 1998, Watabe 1999), numerous specimens of a distinct hermit crab species of the family Paguridae were collected in the Tokyo Submarine Canyon and vicinity. During the earlier years of these studies, some specimens were sent to the late Sadayoshi Miyake (1908-1998, see Baba 1998) who communicated to Hitoshi Ikeda (Hayama Shiosai Museum) that they represented an undescribed genus and species.

For over 140 years, convergent evolution of the crab-like body plan (with a wide and flattened shape, and a bent abdomen) at least five times in decapod crustaceans has been known as ‘carcinization’. The repeated loss of this body plan has been identified as ‘decarcinization’. We offer phylogenetic strategies to include poorly known groups, and direct evidence from fossils, that will resolve the pattern of crab evolution and the degree of phenotypic variation within crabs. Proposed ecological advantages of the crab body are summarized into a hypothesis of phenotypic integration suggesting correlated evolution of the carapace shape and abdomen. Our premise provides fertile ground for future studies of the genomic and developmental basis, and the predictability, of the crab-like body form. Keywords: Crustacea, Anomura, Brachyura, Carcinization, Phylogeny, Convergent evolution, Morphological integration 1 © 2020 by the author(s).

  • Ralph Waldo Emerson and the Ever-Evolving Art of Self
    RALPH WALDO EMERSON AND THE EVER-EVOLVING ART OF SELF-RELIANT READING BY THEODORE REND BARTON A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS English December 2012 Winston-Salem, North Carolina Approved by: Eric Wilson, Ph.D., Advisor Barry Maine, Ph.D., Chair Omaar Hena, Ph.D. My efforts and their results are dedicated to my grandmothers Irene Sauban and Jeanne Barton whose lives demonstrated the magnanimous effects of constant reading, and also to my brother William Barton who never hesitates to read from the text of the world. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project and I are indebted to innumerable people for their love, support, and patience. I will always have indefatigable gratitude for my time with Eric Wilson, and for his indelible influence on my intellectual development while at Wake Forest University and in London. It must be rare that a graduate student is given the opportunity to study with a mentor whom he truly admires and looks up to, and I am cognizant of how lucky I’ve been. Similarly, it’s difficult to express the extent of my appreciation for Omaar Hena, but it’s clear that Wake is unbelievably lucky to employ him for what is certain to be a ground breaking and distinguished career in post-colonial studies. I also must thank my Cal. State professors Chad Luck, Margaret Doane, Cynthia Cotter, and Julie Sophia Paegle for preparing me for the rigors of graduate school and for their encouragement.
