The Sanibel-Captiva Shell Club Board of Directors met First, I want to thank all the members who wrote to the in April for a “brainstorming session.” The purpose of the Sanibel City Council and expressed our opposition to the meeting was to introduce the new Board members to the ordinance that would prohibit off-island advertising of the rest of the Board and to plan the coming 2018/2019 Shell Sanibel Shell Festival. Your letters certainly made an Club season. The strengths and weakness of the club of impact that lead to its denial. this meeting were discussed and this led to how we can I send a warm “welcome streamline our club meetings, and in general, enhance our back” to all our members, club as a whole. and as we strive to bring you Beginning in October, our meetings will be held on the excellent programs and second Sunday of the month instead of the third Sunday. activities, we appreciate your This decision was reached after the Board discussed continued support and look moving the November meeting to the second Sunday forward to any suggestions because often third Sunday falls at the beginning of you may have as we began Thanksgiving week and many members travel to be with sharing another amazing their families.

In many cases isotopic variability can be influenced by the scale of sampling and biological characteristics including body size or sex. Sample size-corrected (SEAc) and Bayesian (SEAb) standard ellipse areas and generalised least squares (GLS) models were used to explore the spatial variability of δ13C and δ15N in Kiwa tyleri (decapod), Gigantopelta chessoia (peltospirid gastropod) and Vulcanolepas scotiaensis (stalked barnacle) collected from 3 hydrothermal vent field sites (E2, E9N and E9S) on the East Scotia Ridge (ESR), Southern Ocean. SEAb only revealed spatial differences in isotopic niche area in male K. tyleri. However, the parameters used to draw the SEAc, eccentricity (E) and angle of the major SEAc axis to the x-axis (θ), indicated spatial differences in the relationships between δ13C and δ15N in all 3 species.

These references are not in alphabetical order, as the database is a ‘living’ record, so new references will be added and a new number assigned. In the recommended dataset (Table S4.2), the references are recorded according to the numbers listed below (and in Table S1.1), to ensure that citations are relatively easy for users to carry through when conducting analyses using subsets of the data, for example. If a score in the recommended dataset is supported by more than one reference, multiple reference identifiers are provided and separated by a semi-colon (;). The references are not provided as numbers / identifiers in the other versions of the dataset, as information is lost during this processing step (e.g., ‘expert opinion’, or 66, replaces comments made by experts in each reference column regarding additional observations, rationale for certainty scores, etc.), which may prove useful for some users. Other versions of the dataset thus maintain raw reference entries for transparency and as potentially useful metadata.

A trochoid snail was recovered from 16 low diffuse flow venting sites of both E2 and E9 segments of the ESR. Taxonomic and 17 systematic investigations revealed it to be a species hitherto unknown to science in the 18 skeneid genus Bruceiella, which is apparently endemic to the chemosynthetic 19 ecosystems. The new species is characterised by a large size for the genus (up to 5 mm 20 shell width), a very broad central tooth with moderately raised horizontal basal ridge, 21 and inner marginal teeth with one single prominent protrusion on the shaft, and is 22 described herein as Bruceiella indurata sp. nov. Described members of the genus are 23 known from the Indian and Pacific oceans, drawing interest to the biogeographic origins 24 of the present new species. Closest relative of the present species is Bruceiella wareni 25 Okutani, Hashimoto & Sasaki, 2004 from Kairei vent field, Central Indian Ridge, 26 further indicating the close relationship between East Scotia Ridge and Indian Ocean 27 vent fauna as has been previously suggested.
