Download PDF As One Large File SERIAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION The emphasis upon pubUcations as a means of diffusing knowledge was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. 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." This keNuote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com­ mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsoniari Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology 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. These pub­ lications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, laboratories, and other interested institutions and specialists throughout the world. Individual copies may be obtained from the Smithsonian Institution Press as long as stocks are available. S.

Chace, Jr. Thc ShrimpS of the Smithsonian-Bredin Caribbean Expeditions with a Summary of the West Indian Shallow-water Species (Crustacea: Decapoda: Natantia) SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION PRESS CITY OF WASHINGTON 1972 ABSTRACT Chace, Fenner A., Jr. The Shrimps of the Smithsonian-Bredin Caribbean Expedi­ tions, with a Summary of the West Indian Shallow-water Species (Crustacea: Decapoda: Natantia). Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology, number 98, 179 pages, 61 figures, 1972.—The collections made by the Smithsonian-Bredin Expeditions to the Lesser Antilles and Virgin Islands in 1956, 1958, and 1959 and to Yucatan in 1960 contain 111 species of penaeidean, caridean, and stenopodidean shrimps, in­ cluding 20 previously undescribed species. Diagnostic keys are offered to assist in the identification of the 170 shallow-water marine and fresh-water shrimps now known from the West Indian islands, as well as 48 species from adjoining geographic and bathymetric areas. References, type-localities, and distribution records are given for each of the 218 species treated, and habitat preferences are indicated for the species represented in the Smithsonian-Bredin collections. It is postulated that there is no endemic marine natantian fauna in the West Indies and that there are no na­ tural barriers, except the local absence of suitable habitats, to the free distribution of most of the species in the region between the Florida Keys and Brazil; only 6 of the 70 marine species recorded from the Yucatan area have not yet been found at any of the islands in the West Indies. Official publication date is handstamped in a limited number of initial copies and is recorded in the Institution's annual report, Smithsonian Year.

  • Rowley, Marissa (2013) Interspecific Competition Between Prawns in The
    Interspecific Competition between Prawns in the Checkhall River Marissa Rowley Dominica 2013 May 18 – June 9 ABSTRACT On the island of Dominica, nature remains virtually untouched by humans. This makes the island an exceptional choice for biological research as well as animal habitats. With its many different ecosystems, numerous animals take refuge throughout the island. Five species of prawns coexist within the Checkhall River on the island of Dominica, two of which lack pincers. In the Checkhall River, I researched competition of prawns for available food sources in different areas of the stream, including shallow areas, deep areas, and waterfall areas. Coconut was tied to fishing line, weighted down with a rock, and used as bait. The bait line was then dropped in chosen areas of the stream and watched for interspecific interactions until a clear winner was present. Multiple trials were held in each designated spot. From the results, it is clear the Macrobrachium species of prawns dominate competition in the Checkhall River. I believe this is because of their larger pincers. Their pincers can be used to obtain and keep hold of a food source and intimidate other species of prawns. This research can be helpful to future biologists studying the behavioral ecology of freshwater prawns. INTRODUCTION Dominica is a relatively small volcanic island located in the Lesser Antillean chain of the Caribbean. Appropriately nicknamed the Nature Island, Dominica is characterized by many different habitats including mountainous terrain, rainforests, waterfalls, lakes, and rivers (Discover Dominica Authority). These different ecosystems make Dominica an exceptional place for field biology research as they remain mostly untouched by humans and modern society.

  • Effects of Drought and Hurricane Disturbances on Headwater Distributions of Palaemonid River Shrimp (Macrobrachium Spp.) in the Luquillo Mountains, Puerto Rico
    J. N. Am. Benthol. Soc., 2006, 25(1):99–107 Ó 2006 by The North American Benthological Society Effects of drought and hurricane disturbances on headwater distributions of palaemonid river shrimp (Macrobrachium spp.) in the Luquillo Mountains, Puerto Rico Alan P. Covich1 Institute of Ecology, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia 30602-2202 USA 2 3 Todd A. Crowl AND Tamara Heartsill-Scalley Ecology Center and Department of Aquatic, Watershed, and Earth Sciences, Utah State University, Logan, Utah 84322 USA Abstract. Extreme events (hurricanes, floods, and droughts) can influence upstream migration of macroinvertebrates and wash out benthic communities, thereby locally altering food webs and species interactions. We sampled palaemonid river shrimp (Macrobrachium spp.), dominant consumers in headwaters of the Luquillo Mountains of northeastern Puerto Rico, to determine their distributions along an elevational gradient (274–456 m asl) during a series of disturbances (Hurricane Hugo in 1989, a drought in 1994, and Hurricane Georges in 1998) that occurred over a 15-y period (1988À2002). We measured shrimp abundance 3 to 6 times/y in Quebrada Prieta in the Espiritu Santo drainage as part of the Luquillo Long- Term Ecological Research Program. In general, Macrobrachium abundance declined with elevation during most years. The lowest mean abundance of Macrobrachium occurred during the 1994 drought, the driest year in 28 y of record in the Espiritu Santo drainage. Macrobrachium increased in abundance for 6 y following the 1994 drought. In contrast, hurricanes and storm flows had relatively little effect on Macrobrachium abundance. Key words: dispersal, drainage networks, geomorphology, habitat preference, omnivores, prey refugia. Flow-based events often modify the important roles (Covich et al.

  • A Migratory Shrimp's Perspective on Habitat Fragmentation in The
    A MIGRATORY SHRIMP’S PERSPECTIVE ON HABITAT FRAGMENTATION IN THE NEOTROPICS: EXTENDING OUR KNOWLEDGE FROM PUERTO RICO BY MARCIA N. SNYDER1,3), ELIZABETH P. ANDERSON2,4) and CATHERINE M. PRINGLE1,5) 1) Odum School of Ecology, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia 30602, U.S.A. 2) Global Water for Sustainability Program, Florida International University, Miami, FL 33199, U.S.A. ABSTRACT Migratory freshwater fauna depend on longitudinal connectivity of rivers throughout their life cycles. Amphidromous shrimps spend their adult life in freshwater but their larvae develop into juveniles in salt water. River fragmentation resulting from pollution, land use change, damming and water withdrawals can impede dispersal and colonization of larval shrimps. Here we review current knowledge of river fragmentation effects on freshwater amphidromous shrimp in the Neotropics, with a focus on Puerto Rico and Costa Rica. In Puerto Rico, many studies have contributed to our knowledge of the natural history and ecological role of migratory neotropical shrimps, whereas in Costa Rica, studies of freshwater migratory shrimp have just begun. Here we examine research findings from Puerto Rico and the applicability of those findings to continental Costa Rica. Puerto Rico has a relatively large number of existing dams and water withdrawals, which have heavily fragmented rivers. The effects of fragmentation on migratory shrimps’ distribution have been documented on the landscape-scale in Puerto Rico. Over the last decade, dams for hydropower production have been constructed on rivers throughout Costa Rica. In both countries, large dams restrict shrimps from riverine habitat in central highland regions; in Puerto Rico 27% of stream kilometers are upstream of large dams while in Costa Rica 10% of stream kilometers are upstream of dams.

  • Molecular Evidence for Sequential Colonization and Taxon Cycling In
    Molecular Ecology (2008) 17, 1066–1075 doi: 10.1111/j.1365-294X.2007.03637.x MolecularBlackwell Publishing Ltd evidence for sequential colonization and taxon cycling in freshwater decapod shrimps on a Caribbean island BENJAMIN D. COOK,* CATHERINE M. PRINGLE† and JANE M. HUGHES* *Australian Rivers Institute, Griffith University, Nathan, Queensland, Australia, †Institute of Ecology, University of Georgia, Athens, GA, USA Abstract Taxon cycling, i.e. sequential phases of expansions and contractions in species’ distributions associated with ecological or morphological shifts, are postulated to characterize dynamic biogeographic histories in various island faunas. The Caribbean freshwater shrimp assemblage is mostly widespread and sympatric throughout the region, although one species (Atyidae: Atya lanipes) is geographically restricted and ecologically and morphologically differentiated from other Atya species. Using patterns of nucleotide variation at the COI mtDNA gene in five species of freshwater shrimp (A. lanipes, A. scabra, A. innocuous; Xiphocarididae: Xiphocaris elongata; Palaemonidae: Macrobrachium faustinum) from Puerto Rico, we expected to detect a signature of sequential colonization in these shrimp, consistent with the concept of taxon cycling, and expected that A. lanipes would be at a different taxon stage (i.e. an early stage species) to all other species. We also examined patterns of genetic population structure in each species expected with poor, intermediate and well-developed abilities for among-river dispersal. Population expansions were detected in all species, although the relative timing of the expansions varied among them. Assuming that population expansions followed colonization of Puerto Rico by freshwater shrimp, results bear the hallmarks of sequential colonization and taxon cycling in this fauna. A.
