Abstract Inversions of the origin of replication (ORI) of mitochondrial genomes produce asymmetrical mutational pressures that can cause artefactual clustering in phylogenetic analyses. It is therefore an absolute prerequisite for all molecular evolution studies that use mitochondrial data to account for ORI events in the evolutionary history of their dataset.

  • Guide to Crustacea
    46 Guide to Crustacea. Order 2.—Decapoda. (Table-cases Nos. 9-16.) The gills are arranged typically in three series—podo- branchiae, arthrobranchiae, and pleurobranchiae. Only in the aberrant genus Leucifer are the gills entirely absent. The first three pairs of thoracic limbs are more or less completely modified to act as jaws (maxillipeds), while the last five form the legs. This very extensive and varied Order includes all the larger and more familiar Crustacea, such as Crabs, Lobsters, Crayfish, FIG. 30. Penaeus caramote, from the side, about half natural size. [Table-case No. 9.] Prawns, and Shrimps. From their greater size and more general interest, it is both possible and desirable to exhibit a much larger series than in the other groups of Crustacea, and in Table-cases Nos. 9 to 16 will be found representatives of all the Tribes and of the more important families composing the Order. On the system of classification adopted here, these tribes are grouped under three Sub-orders :— Sub-order 1.—Macrura. „ 2.—Anomura. ,, 3.—Brachyura. Eucarida—Decapoda. 47 SUB-ORDER I.— MACRURA. (Table-cases Nos. 9-11.) The Macrura are generally distinguished by the large size of the abdomen, which is symmetrical and not folded under the body. The front, or rostrum, is not united with the " epistome." The sixth pair of abdominal appendages (uropods) are always present, generally broad and flattened, forming with the telson, a " tail-fan." The first Tribe of the Macrura, the PENAEIDEA, consists of prawn-like animals having the first three pairs of legs usually chelate or pincer-like, and not differing greatly in size.

While recent evolutionary studies have focused on a few of these species, here we provide a comprehensive phylogenetic estimate of relationships among the species within the genus. We sequenced three mitochondrial gene regions (COI, 16S, and 12S) and one nuclear region (28S) from 40 species of the genus Euastacus, as well as one undescribed species. Using these data, we estimated the phylogenetic relationships within the genus using maximum-likelihood, parsimony, and Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo analyses. Using Bayes factors to test diVerent model hypotheses, we found that the best phylogeny supports monophyletic groupings of all but two recognized species and suggests a widespread ancestor that diverged by vicariance.

    Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania, Volume 126, 1992 91 A REVISION OF THE TASMANIAN FRESHWATER CRAYFISH GENUS ASTACOPSIS HUXLEY (DECAPODA: PARASTACIDAE). by Premek Hamr (with three text-figures) HAMR, P., 1992 (31 :x): A revision of the Tasmanian freshwater crayfish genus Astacopsis Huxley (Dccapoda: ·Parastacidae). Pap. Proc. R. Soc. Tasm. 126: 91-94. ISSN 0080-4703. 28 Undercliffe Ave, Hamilton, Ontario, L8P 3HI, Canada: formerly Department of Zoology, University of Tasmania. During a broad study of the biology of the freshwater in rhe Tasmanian genus fWO distinct forms of Astacopsis franklinii were recognised. These "forms" were found to diffcr in terms of their general morphology and distribution. As a result, the taxonomy of Astacopsis has been revised to re-establish the three species originally described by Ellen Clark. Astacopsis franklinii Gray has been divided into fWO separate species, the eastern Astacopsis franklinti and the western Astacopsis tricorn is, while the status ofArtacopsis gouldi remains unaltered. Key Words: Astacopsis, Tasmania, distribution, taxonomy. INTRODUCTION to vary greatly in size and spininess. In their re-examination of the various morphological characters, Swain et al.

It will be shown in this study that this species, are associated with riverine and lacustrine habitats variation is, in fact, at least partly due to the occurrence of throughout Tasmania (Swain et al. 1982). Taxonomically two distinct forms within A. franklinii, and it is further and ecologically their closest relatives are the crayfishes of the proposed that these two forms should be treated as two genera Euastacus and Astacoides (Hobbs 1987,1988, Riek separate species.

INTRODUCTION. In a previous paper (2) an attempt was made to clear up the synonymy of the Australian Parastacidae, but it was not possible to make a complete survey of the group as material from many districts ,vas not available. Since that time, how­ ever, much material from localities not previously repre­ sented bas been collected or received for identification. Special attention ,vas given to obtaining specimens from New South ,vales, the type locality of most species of the genus. With the material now available it has been possible to make a complete reYision of the genus Euastac1ts; this revision has resulted in several alterations in nomenclature, the reasons for which are explained below. The full synonymy of each species is included with its description, and the distribution (as for as is known) is indicated. Since difficulties arose in finding suitable maps of Victoria to illustrate the distribution, two special maps (Plates VIII and IX) were compiled from data on plans prepared by the State Rivers and "\VaterSupply Commission and maps issued by the Gcologieal Survey.

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 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, com- mencing 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 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.
