Hohonu Volume 1 A JOURNAL OF ACADEMIC WRITING VOLUME 1 , NUMBER 1 Hohonu Hohonu, which means “deep, profound” in Hawaiian, celebrates its inaugural issue this year. Hohonu aspires to showcase the quality and the diversity of the writing styles and interests of UH Hilo and Hawai`i CC students. Through Hononu, the UHH/HCC Board of Student Publications seeks to provide students with models of good work, reward the writers, and promote academic writing. In this way Hohonu is contributing to meaningful discourse and enhancing the educational atmosphere on campus. Hohonu features non-fiction academic writing in any format and on any subject. Our first annual issue displays the wide variety of student writing by including personal reaction papers, analysis, argument, review, and research papers. Hohonu wishes to thank the student authors for their contributions to this successful inaugural issue. Their accomplishments are a part of the success of the collegiate educational process as a whole. Hohonu also appreciates the efforts of Luke Bailey and John Cole, whose inspiration and energy resulted in the creation of this journal of academic writing. Many mahalos go out to Graphics Services for their help in design and publication. Hohonu gratefully acknowledges the financial assistance of the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, the Office of the Vice Chancellor of Academic Af- fairs, and the Humanities Division, all of the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo. And Hohonu recognizes the work of the student editors Alicia Cuttrell, Andy Gramlich, and Kalyan Meola. 1 > IN A NEW YORK MINUTE Donna Marie Ambrose It was 3:30 a.m. when I received “The phone call” More excitement as word came that Hollywood from my brother in Florida.

Aceptado 04-XI-2014. Abstract: Taxonomy and ecologic biogeography of the irregular Echinoids (Echinoidea: Irregularia) from Mexico. Mexico owns 643 species of echinoderms, almost 10% of the known echinoderm species in the planet. Its geographic location -between the oceanic influences of the Western Central Atlantic and the Eastern Central Pacific- largely explains its enormous biological and ecological diversity. Research on echinoderms in Mexico began in the late nineteenth century; however, there are no reviews on its irregular echinoids. This work reviews the taxonomic and geographic information of irregular echinoids from Mexico, housed in four collections: 1) Colección Nacional de Equinodermos “Ma. Elena Caso Muñoz” from the Instituto de Ciencias del Mar y Limnología (ICML), Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM); 2) Invertebrate Zoology Collection, Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, Washington, D.C., United States of America (USA); 3) Invertebrate Collection, Museum of Comparative Zoology, University of Harvard, Boston, Massachusetts, USA and 4) Invertebrate Zoology, Peabody Museum, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut, USA.

Taiwans irregular sea urchin fauna now comprises 19 valid species in 11 families. New records include Fibularia ovulum Lamarck (Fibulariidae), Astriclypeus manni Verrill (Astriclypeidae), Linopneustes sp. (Palaeopneustidae), Schizaster lacunosus (Linnaeus) (Schizasteridae), Brissus latecarinatus (Leske), and Rhynobrissus pyramidalis A. Agassiz (Brissidae). Species accounts and figures of 14 species collected by the author are presented. Key words: Sea urchins, Irregular urchins, Echinoderms, Taiwan, Taxonomy. Sea urchins may be either regular or irregular. Regular urchins have an almost spherical symmetry. Irregular urchins display varying degrees of bilateral symmetry. They are common macrobenthic organ- isms along the coasts of Taiwan. However, only a few papers dealing with them have been published (Tokunaga 1900, Ohshima 1927, Hayasaka 1948, Peng and Tiao 1971, Chen and Chang 1981, Shigei 1981, Wang 1984) on the ecology and systematics of these animals from the waters of Taiwan. The regu- lar sea urchins from Taiwan have been revised by Chen and Chang (1981). However, there has been no study of the irregular urchins from Taiwan since Hayasaka (1948) except for a new species, Tai- wanaster mai (now Sinaechinocyamus mai), de- scribed by Wang (1984).

  • Fasciole Pathways in Spatangoid Echinoids: a New Source of Phylogenetically Informative Characters

SMITH and B. STOCKLEY Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2005, 144, 15–35. With 8 figures Fasciole pathways in spatangoid echinoids: a new source of phylogenetically informative characters ANDREW B. SMITH FLS* and BRUCE STOCKLEY Department of Palaeontology, The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, UK Received February 2004; accepted for publication November 2004 Fascioles are important early-forming structures that play a key role in allowing irregular echinoids to burrow. They have traditionally been grouped into a small number of types according to their general position on the test, but this masks some significant differences that exist. The precise course that fasciole bands follow over the test plating has been mapped in detail for 89 species of spatangoid echinoids, representing the great majority of fasciole-bearing gen- era both living and fossil. Within each fasciole type, discrete and conserved patterns can be distinguished, differing both in which plates they are initiated on, and on whether they cross plate growth centres or are late-stage bands positioned towards the edge of the plate. Fasciole position is most highly conserved in the anterior and lateral inter- ambulacral plates and on the earliest forming bands. The existence of different subanal fasciole patterns in the Micrasteridae and Brissidae suggests that these may have evolved independently. Schizasterid and hemiasterine spatangoids can each be subdivided into two major clades, and brissid spatangoids into three clades based on detailed patterns of their fascioles.

  • Diversity of Echinoderms in Intertidal and Shallow-Water Areas of Samal Island, Philippines
    Philippine Journal of Science 150 (S1): 281-297, Special Issue on Biodiversity ISSN 0031 - 7683 Date Received: 22 Sep 2020 Diversity of Echinoderms in Intertidal and Shallow-water Areas of Samal Island, Philippines Maybelle A. Fortaleza*, Joemarie J. Lanutan, Junissa M. Consuegra, and Cleto L. Nañola Jr. Coral Reef Resiliency and Ecology Studies Laboratory College of Science and Mathematics, University of the Philippines Mindanao Mintal, Davao City, Davao del Sur 8000 Philippines Echinoderms are immediately observable around the coastal shores of Samal Island. Unfortunately, studies on echinoderm diversity are lacking despite its relevance to coastal and marine ecosystems management. This study attempts to update the existing records of echinoderms in Samal Island, however, limited to the intertidal and shallow-water areas. Field surveys from January 2018 to January 2019 yielded a total of 30 echinoderm species belonging to 17 families. Most of the echinoderms encountered belonged to Classes Asteroidea (sea stars, nine species) and Ophiuroidea (brittle stars, nine species), followed by Echinoidea (regular and irregular urchins, six species) and Holothuroidea (sea cucumbers, six species). Of the 1,015 individuals, sea urchins comprised the majority of the total individuals recorded (43.15%), succeeded by sea stars (30.44%), brittle stars (18.04%), and sea cucumbers (8.37%). Richest diversity was observed in Catagman with 23 echinoderm species recorded. This was followed by Camudmud (14 species), Pangubatan (eight species), Balet (seven species), Aundanao (six species), and Kaputian (three species). The five most commonly occurring species were the Echinometra mathaei (Blainville, 1825), Archaster typicus (Müller and Troschel, 1840), Ophiocoma scolopendrina (Lamarck, 1816), Diadema setosum (Leske, 1778), and Linckia laevigata (Linnaeus, 1758).

    TESTING THE ROLES OF EXTRATROPICAL ORIGINATION AND PREDATION ON IRREGULAR ECHINOID EVOLUTION by JUSTIN MATTHEW MILLER (Under the Direction of Sally E. Walker) ABSTRACT The number of extratropical vs. tropical originations and the predation frequency of fossil irregular echinoids were analyzed to gain a better understanding of their evolution. The latitudinal diversity gradient for irregular echinoids is atypical compared to other marine bivalves and current evolutionary models are not applicable. An out-of-the-extratropics (OTE) model is used to describe how marine organisms may originate in the extratropics and then migrate into tropical regions. Irregular echinoids from the Late Eocene Ocala Limestone were categorized into burrow tiers based on morphological characters so predation frequency at different burrow depths could be assessed. Predation frequency was highest for medium and deep burrow tiers, suggesting that burrowing does not reduce cassid predation. This may indicate that evolution towards infaunalism for irregular echinoids was not driven by increasing predation pressure in the Mesozoic.
