The registration desk will be open Thurs 1700-2000, Fri-Sat 0730-1800, and Sun 0800-1000. Registration packets will be available at the registration table for those members who have pre-registered. Those who have not pre-registered but wish to attend the meeting can pay for membership and registration (with a $20 late fee) at the registration table. Unfortunately, banquet tickets cannot be sold at the meeting because the hotel requires final counts of attendees well in advance. The Attitude Adjustment Hour (AAH) is included in the registration price, so you will only need to show your badge for admittance. WSN T-shirts and other merchandise can be purchased or picked up at the WSN Student Committee table. A partial list of restaurants near the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Sacramento can be found at the end of the program. Back by popular demand! In addition to all of the traditional WSN special events (see the schedule), there will be a dance immediately following the auction on Saturday night (starting ~11 pm)! The Student Committee will provide music. Thanks to Student Travel Fund Donors We'd like to thank all of you who made donations to the Student Travel Fund when you registered; those funds are greatly appreciated by our many student members. Thanks to all! 2 SCHEDULE OF EVENTS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2015 1800-2100 STUDENT WORKSHOP (Sacramento River Room) Pre-registration required 2100-??? STUDENT MIXER.

Understanding the link between science and policy is not taught as part of our formal education process, despite the growing marine environmental challenges that policy makers and scientists both face. Come join us for a workshop that provides practical ways for scientists to participate at the interface of policy and science. The workshop will explore the link between science and policy through a brief introduction to the policy process and a panel session with speakers from diverse sectors. The workshop will also provide an opportunity for participants to interact, network, and ask questions of the speakers. PANELISTS: Amber Mace, Deputy Direct of California Council on Science and Technology (CCST) Letise LaFeir, California Ocean Policy Manager at Monterey Bay Aquarium Tegan Hoffmann, Principal and Founder, Blue Earth Consultants, LLC John Field, Groundfish Analysis Team Leader, NOAA Southwest Fisheries Mark Carr, Long Marine Laboratory, University of California Santa Cruz 2100 - ??

F. Davie Queensland Museum, PO Box 3300, South Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT. – An annotated checklist of the extant brachyuran crabs of the world is presented for the first time. Over 10,500 names are treated including 6,793 valid species and subspecies (with 1,907 primary synonyms), 1,271 genera and subgenera (with 393 primary synonyms), 93 families and 38 superfamilies. Nomenclatural and taxonomic problems are reviewed in detail, and many resolved. Detailed notes and references are provided where necessary. The constitution of a large number of families and superfamilies is discussed in detail, with the positions of some taxa rearranged in an attempt to form a stable base for future taxonomic studies. This is the first time the nomenclature of any large group of decapod crustaceans has been examined in such detail.

STEBBINS 1,* and DOUGLAS J. EERNISSE 2 1 City of San Diego Marine Biology Laboratory, Metropolitan Wastewater Department, San Diego, CA, USA 2 Department of Biological Science, California State University, Fullerton, CA, USA Abstract: About 36 species of chitons possibly occur at depths greater than 30 m along the continental shelf and slope of the Southern California Bight (SCB), although little is known about their distribution or ecology. Nineteen species are reported here based on chitons collected as part of long-term, local benthic monitoring programs or less frequent region-wide surveys of the entire SCB, and these show little overlap with species that occur at depths typically encountered by scuba divers. Most chitons were collected between 30-305 m depths, although records are included for a few from slightly shallower waters. Of the two extant chiton lineages, Lepidopleurida is represented by Leptochitonidae (2 genera, 3 species), while Chitonida is represented by Ischnochitonidae (2 genera, 6-9 species) and Mopaliidae (4 genera, 7 species).

Thirteen samplings were performed at 8 stations in 2012 (seven samplings), 2014 (four), and 2015 (two). The collection of the mollusks in each station was done at a maximum depth of 5 m for 1 h by 3 divers. A total of 2086 specimens belonging to 89 species, 36 families, and 3 classes of mollusks were identified. Gastropoda was the most diverse and abundant group. Calyptreaidae, Columbellidae, and Muricidae had >5 species, but Pisaniidae, Conidae, Fasciolariidae, and Muricidae had ≥15% of relative abundance. Most species found in this study were recorded in the rocky intertidal zone, and 10 species were restricted to the rocky subtidal zone. The affinity in the composition of the species during 2012–2015 had a low similarity (25%), but we could differentiate natural and anthropogenic effects according to malacological composition.

Grosholz Michael T. Murphy Greg M. Ruiz Ian R. Waite Portland State University 2017 Abstract Lethal biotic interactions strongly influence the potential for aquatic non-native species to establish and endure in habitats to which they are introduced. Predators in the recipient area, including native and previously established non-native predators, can prevent establishment, limit habitat use, and reduce abundance of non-native species. Management efforts by humans using methods designed to cause mass mortality (e.g., trapping, biocide applications) can reduce or eradicate non-native populations.

    --- Not for reuse or distribution --- 8 HERMAPHRODITISM AND GONOCHORISM Chiara Benvenuto and Stephen C. Weeks Abstract This chapter compares two sexual systems: hermaphroditism (each individual can produce gametes of either sex) and gonochorism (each individual produces gametes of only one of the two distinct sexes) in crustaceans. These two main sexual systems contain a variety of alternative modes of reproduction, which are of great interest from applied and theoretical perspectives. The chapter focuses on the description, prevalence, analysis, and interpretation of these sexual systems, centering on their evolutionary transitions. The ecological correlates of each reproduc- tive system are also explored. In particular, the prevalence of “unusual” (non- gonochoristic) re- productive strategies has been identified under low population densities and in unpredictable/ unstable environments, often linked to specific habitats or lifestyles (such as parasitism) and in colonizing species. Finally, population- level consequences of some sexual systems are consid- ered, especially in terms of sex ratios. The chapter aims to provide a broad and extensive overview of the evolution, adaptation, ecological constraints, and implications of the various reproductive modes in this extraordinarily successful group of organisms. INTRODUCTION 1 Historical Overview of the Study of Crustacean Reproduction Crustaceans are a very large and extraordinarily diverse group of mainly aquatic organisms, which play important roles in many ecosystems and are economically important. Thus, it is not surprising that numerous studies focus on their reproductive biology. However, these reviews mainly target specific groups such as decapods (Sagi et al. 1997, Chiba 2007, Mente 2008, Asakura 2009), caridean Reproductive Biology. Edited by Rickey D. Cothran and Martin Thiel.
