In his formal plan for the Insti- tution, Joseph Henry articulated 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 not strictly professional." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Z0°l°iy Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of professional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields. Each publica- tion is distributed by mailing lists to libraries, laboratories, institutes, and interested specialists throughout the world.

Much of the difficulty hampering the ecological analyses of these vast materials (amounting to more than 2,000 samples) has been the large number of undescribed species of polychaetes and crustaceans which com- prise the largest share of the fauna, more than 75% of the species of the bottom belonging to these two large groups.

  • Arthropod Mesograzers Reduce Epiphytic Overgrowth of Subtidal Coralline Turf
    Vol. 515: 123–132, 2014 MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published November 18 doi: 10.3354/meps11025 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Arthropod mesograzers reduce epiphytic overgrowth of subtidal coralline turf A. K. Berthelsen*, R. B. Taylor Leigh Marine Laboratory, University of Auckland, PO Box 349, Warkworth 0941, New Zealand ABSTRACT: Benthic primary producers such as seaweeds and seagrasses are often inhabited by high densities of small arthropods, but little is known about the impact of these animals on their hosts, which could be positive if they keep them free of fouling epiphytes. We assessed the impact of small arthropods on algal epiphytes growing on coralline algal turf on a shallow, wave-exposed, rocky reef in warm temperate northeastern New Zealand. Plaster blocks impregnated with the insecticide carbaryl were used to reduce arthropod densities (by 96% relative to unmanipulated controls in the case of amphipods). By the end of the ~3.5 mo experiment total epiphyte cover was 88% when arthropods were excluded compared to 38% in unmanipulated controls, a 2.3-fold increase. Brown (Colpomenia spp.), green (Ulva spp.) and ‘filamentous and microscopic’ algal epi- phyte taxa were responsible for the increase, while the cover of red foliose algal epiphytes decreased slightly. Hyalid amphipods (Protohyale spp.) were likely responsible for suppressing the epiphytes, as they were the most abundant arthropod mesograzer taxon and ate both Colpomenia spp. and Ulva spp. in a laboratory no-choice feeding assay. During the field experi- ment 2 large storms removed most of the epiphytes that had grown in the mesograzer exclusion treatment. Overall, our results indicate that the amphipods prevented overgrowth of the turf by epiphytes during calm periods.

SOME ECOLOGICAL INFORMATIONS 1. General Remarks on the Biology of Orchestia platensis japonica Orchestia platensis japonica is well known as one of the "sand-hoppers" among the gammaridean group and commonly inhabits at the high-water marks on the beach; often found in a great abundance under damp seaweed or straw-mat washed ashore, sometimes living under dead leaves in the damp places far above the sea-shore. The animal is a scavenger, showing the feeding habit of a "biting" type, and often seen crowding together and biting at the shucked meat of oyster while the animals are kept in an experimental glass-vessel in the laboratory.

  • Biogeography, Diversity and Environmental Relationships of Shelf and Deep-Sea Benthic Amphipoda Around Iceland
    Biogeography, diversity and environmental relationships of shelf and deep-sea benthic Amphipoda around Iceland Anne-Nina Lörz1, Stefanie Kaiser2, Jens Oldeland3, Caroline Stolter4, Karlotta Kürzel5 and Saskia Brix6 1 Institute for Marine Ecosystems and Fisheries Science, Universität Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany 2 Faculty of Biology and Environmental Protection, Department of Invertebrate Zoology and Hydrobiology, University of Łódź, Lodz, Poland 3 Eco-Systems, Hamburg, Germany 4 Department Biology, Zoological Institute, Universität Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany 5 Department Biology, Universität Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany 6 Deutsches Zentrum für Marine Biodiversität, Senckenberg Nature Research Society, Hamburg, Germany ABSTRACT The waters around Iceland, bounding the Northern North Atlantic and the Nordic seas, are a region characterized by complex hydrography and seabed topography. This and the presence of the Greenland-Iceland-Faroe-Scotland ridge (GIFR) are likely to have a major impact on the diversity and distribution of the benthic fauna there. Biodiversity in this region is also under increasing threat from climate-induced changes, ocean warming and acidification in particular, affecting the marine realm. The aim of the present study was to investigate the biodiversity and distributional patterns of amphipod crustaceans in Icelandic waters and how it relates to environmental variables and depth. A comprehensive data set from the literature and recent expeditions was compiled constituting distributional records for 355 amphipod species across a major depth gradient (18–3,700 m). Using a 1 Submitted 30 March 2021 Accepted 13 July 2021 hexagonal grid to map amphipod distributions and a set of environmental factors Published 11 August 2021 (depth, pH, phytobiomass, velocity, dissolved oxygen, dissolved iron, salinity and Corresponding author temperature) we could identify four distinct amphipod assemblages: A Deep-North, Anne-Nina Lörz, Anne-Nina.
