  • Sea Slugs – Divers' Favorites, Taxonomists' Problems
    Aquatic Science & Management, Vol. 1, No. 2, 100-110 (Oktober 2013) ISSN 2337-4403 Pascasarjana, Universitas Sam Ratulangi e-ISSN 2337-5000 http://ejournal.unsrat.ac.id/index.php/jasm/index jasm-pn00033 Sea slugs – divers’ favorites, taxonomists’ problems Siput laut – disukai para penyelam, masalah bagi para taksonom Kathe R. Jensen Zoological Museum (Natural History Museum of Denmark), Universitetsparken 15, DK-2100 Copenhagen Ø, Denmark E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Sea slugs, or opisthobranch molluscs, are small, colorful, slow-moving, non-aggressive marine animals. This makes them highly photogenic and therefore favorites among divers. The highest diversity is found in tropical waters of the Indo-West Pacific region. Many illustrated guidebooks have been published, but a large proportion of species remain unidentified and possibly new to science. Lack of funding as well as expertise is characteristic for taxonomic research. Most taxonomists work in western countries whereas most biodiversity occurs in developing countries. Cladistic analysis and molecular studies have caused fundamental changes in opisthobranch classification as well as “instability” of scientific names. Collaboration between local and foreign scientists, amateurs and professionals, divers and academics can help discovering new species, but the success may be hampered by lack of funding as well as rigid regulations on collecting and exporting specimens for taxonomic research. Solutions to overcome these obstacles are presented. Keywords: mollusca; opisthobranchia; biodiversity; citizen science; taxonomic impediment Abstrak: Siput laut, atau moluska golongan opistobrancia, adalah hewan laut berukuran kecil, berwarna, bergerak lambat, dan tidak bersifat agresif. Alasan inilah yang membuat hewan ini sangat fotogenik dan menjadi favorit bagi para penyelam.

  • Tropical Range Extension for the Temperate, Endemic South-Eastern Australian Nudibranch Goniobranchus Splendidus (Angas, 1864)

Chromodorid nudibranchs are bright, colourful animals that rarely go unnoticed by divers and underwater photographers. The discovery of a new population, with divergent colouration is therefore significant. DNA sequencing confirms that despite departures from the known phenotypic variation, the specimen represents northern Goniobranchus splendidus and not an unknown close relative. Goniobranchus tinctorius represents the sister taxa to G. splendidus. With regard to secondary defences, the oxygenated terpenes found previously in this specimen are partially unique but also overlap with other G. splendidus from southern Queensland (QLD) and New South Wales (NSW). The tropical specimen from Mackay contains extracapsular yolk like other G. splendidus. This previously unknown tropical population may contribute selectively advantageous genes to cold-water species threatened by climate change.

  • Conspicuous Visual Signals Do Not Coevolve with Increased Body Size in Marine Sea Slugs
    doi: 10.1111/jeb.12348 Conspicuous visual signals do not coevolve with increased body size in marine sea slugs K. L. CHENEY*, F. CORTESI*†,M.J.HOW‡,N.G.WILSON§,S.P.BLOMBERG*, A. E. WINTERS*, S. UMANZOR€ ¶ & N. J. MARSHALL‡ *School of Biological Sciences, The University of Queensland, St Lucia, Qld, Australia †Zoological Institute, The University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland ‡Queensland Brain Institute, The University of Queensland, St Lucia, Qld, Australia §The Australian Museum, Sydney, NSW, Australia ¶Department of Biology, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, NM, USA Keywords: Abstract animal patterns; Many taxa use conspicuous colouration to attract mates, signal chemical aposematism; defences (aposematism) or for thermoregulation. Conspicuousness is a key image statistics; feature of aposematic signals, and experimental evidence suggests that pre- nudibranchs; dators avoid conspicuous prey more readily when they exhibit larger body spectral contrast; size and/or pattern elements. Aposematic prey species may therefore evolve visual signalling. a larger body size due to predatory selection pressures, or alternatively, larger prey species may be more likely to evolve aposematic colouration. Therefore, a positive correlation between conspicuousness and body size should exist. Here, we investigated whether there was a phylogenetic correlation between the conspicuousness of animal patterns and body size using an intriguing, understudied model system to examine questions on the evolution of animal signals, namely nudibranchs (opisthobranch mol- luscs). We also used new ways to compare animal patterns quantitatively with their background habitat in terms of intensity variance and spatial frequency power spectra. In studies of aposematism, conspicuousness is usually quantified using the spectral contrast of animal colour patches against its background; however, other components of visual signals, such as pattern, luminance and spectral sensitivities of potential observers, are largely ignored.

Marine molluscs were surveyed at 42 stations: 41 by SCUBA and one intertidal beach survey. A total of 279 species of marine molluscs in three classes were recorded: 181 species of gastropods in 53 families, 97 species of bivalves in 26 families and a single species of cephalopod (Sepia pharaonis Ehrenberg, 1831). A mean of 21.8 species was recorded per site. The range was from 4 to 96 species. The highest diversity site was at Kyun Philar Island. The most widespread species were the pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera (Linnaeus, 1758) (33 sites), muricid Chicoreus ramosus (Linnaeus, 1758) (21 stations), turbinid Astralium rhodostomum (Lamarck, 1822) (19 sites) and the wing shell Pteria penguin (Röding, 1798) (16 sites). Data from this study were compared with molluscan studies from the Gulf of Thailand, the Andaman Sea sites in Thailand and Singapore. Fifty-eight mollusc species in Myanmar were not found in the other areas.

In this study we test the time required until metamorphic competence in the veliger larvae of four species of Phestilla nudibranch. Larvae of Phestilla melanobrachia are planktotrophic and had the highest percentage of metamorphosis in response to the prey coral Tubastraea aurea.

  • First Observation and Range Extension of the Nudibranch Tenellia Catachroma (Burn, 1963) in Western Australia (Mollusca: Gastropoda)
    CSIRO Publishing The Royal Society of Victoria, 129, 37–40, 2017 www.publish.csiro.au/journals/rs 10.1071/RS17003 A VICTORIAN EMIGRANT: FIRST OBSERVATION AND RANGE EXTENSION OF THE NUDIBRANCH TENELLIA CATACHROMA (BURN, 1963) IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA (MOLLUSCA: GASTROPODA) Matt J. NiMbs National Marine Science Centre, Southern Cross University, PO Box 4321, Coffs Harbour, NSW 2450, Australia Correspondence: [email protected] ABSTRACT: The southwest coast of Western Australia is heavily influenced by the south-flowing Leeuwin Current. In summer, the current shifts and the north-flowing Capes Current delivers water from the south to nearshore environments and with it a supply of larvae from cooler waters. The nudibranch Tenellia catachroma (Burn, 1963) was considered restricted to Victorian waters; however, its discovery in eastern South Australia in 2013 revealed its capacity to expand its range west. In March 2017 a single individual was observed in shallow subtidal waters at Cape Peron, Western Australia, some 2000 km to the west of its previous range limit. Moreover, its distribution has extended northwards, possibly aided by the Capes Current, into a location of warming. This observation significantly increases the range for this Victorian emigrant to encompass most of the southern Australian coast, and also represents an equatorward shift at a time when the reverse is expected. Keywords: climate change, Cape Peron, range extension, Leeuwin Current, Capes Current The fionid nudibranch Tenellia catachroma (Burn, 1963) first found in southern NSW in 1979 (Rudman 1998), has was first described from two specimens found at Point been observed only a handful of times since and was also Danger, near Torquay, Victoria, in 1961 (Burn 1963).
