These MPAs include 13 Marine National Parks (MNPs), 11 Marine Sanctuaries (MSs), 3 Marine and Coastal Parks, 2 Marine Parks, and a Marine Reserve, and together these account for 11.7% of the Victorian marine environment. The highly protected Marine National Park System, which is made up of the MNPs and MSs, covers 5.3% of Victorian waters and was proclaimed in November 2002. This system has been designed to be representative of the diversity of Victoria’s marine environment and aims to conserve and protect ecological processes, habitats, and associated flora and fauna. The Marine National Park System is spread across Victoria’s five marine bioregions with multiple MNPs and MSs in each bioregion, with the exception of Flinders bioregion which has one MNP. -

Abstract: This paper is primarily intended as a guide to researchers who wish to know what echinoid species are available in the Bay of Panama and in the Gulf of Chiriqui, how to recognize them, and what has been published about them up to 2004. Fifty seven species of echinoids have been reported in the literature as occurring in the Pacific waters of Panama, of which I have collected and examined 31, including two species, Caenopedina diomediae and Meoma frangibilis, that have hitherto only been mentioned in the literature from single type specimens. For the 31 species I was able to examine, I list the localities in which they were found, my impression as to their relative abundance, the characters that distinguish them, and what is known about their biology and evolution. -

Checklist of the Echinoderms of British Columbia (April 2007) by Philip
Checklist of the Echinoderms of British Columbia (April 2007) by Philip Lambert, Curator Emeritus of Invertebrates Royal British Columbia Museum [email protected] This checklist is based on the information contained in three echinoderm books on Sea Stars, Sea Cucumbers and Brittle Stars (Lambert 1997, 2000; and Lambert and Austin 2007) as well as on unpublished data from the collections of the Royal BC Museum and from Dr. Bill Austin. Many references in the primary literature were consulted for distribution, and the classifications are based in part on the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology (Moore 1966); Austin (1985); crinoid monograph by A.H. Clark (1907 to 1967); asteroids by Fisher (1911 to 1930) and Smith Paterson and Lafay (1995) for ophiuroids. This is a work in progress as we process the deep water collections that Fisheries and Oceans Canada has collected over the last 6 years. Several new species have been recorded for BC and more are expected. Species in bold occur in less than 200 metres in BC. The stated depth range refers to the entire geographic range of the species. Species not yet recorded in BC but occurring nearby to the north and south of BC have been included in the list with *.

Revision of the Genus Zebrida White, 1847 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura: Eumedoni Dae)
BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 65(2): 481-495, 1999 REVISION OF THE GENUS ZEBRIDA WHITE, 1847 (CRUSTACEA: DECAPODA: BRACHYURA: EUMEDONI DAE) Peter K. L. Ng and Diana G. B. Chia ABSTRACT The eumedonid genus Zebrida White, 1847, members of which are obligate symbionts of sea urchins, is revised. Three species are now recognized: Z. adamsii White, 1847 (type species), Z. longispina Haswell, 1880 and Z. brevicarinata new species. Members of five genera of eumedonid crabs (Echinoecus, Eumedonus, Gonatonotus, Zebridonus and Zebrida) are known obligate symbionts on sea urchins. Of these, Zebrida White, 1847, has the most unusual appearance, with its long spines and distinctive col- oration. The general consensus is that the genus is monotypic, being represented by only one species, Z. adamsii White, 1847, which has a wide Indo-West Pacific distribution (Suzuki and Takeda, 1974). The present study shows that three species of Zebrida can in fact be recognized: Z. adamsii; Z. longispina Haswell, 1880 and Z. brevicarinata new species. METHODS AND MATERIALS Measurements provided are of the carapace length and width. The length of the carapace (cl) was measured from the tip of the rostrum to the posterior margin of the carapace. The carapace width (cb) was taken across the widest part. The inner supraorbital tooth is used in lieu of the lateral rostral lobule of some workers. The abbreviations G1 and G2 are used for the male first and second pleopods, respectively. Specimens examined are deposited in the following institutions: Australian Museum, Sydney (AM); Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris (MNHN); Natural History Museum [ex Brit- ish Museum (Natural History)], London (BMNH); National Museum of Victoria, Abbotsford, Aus- tralia (NMV); Northern Territory Museum of Arts and Sciences, Darwin (NTM); Queensland Mu- seum, Brisbane (QM); Institut Royale des Sciences Naturelles de Belgique, Brussels (IRSNB); Nationaal Natuurhistorisches Museum (formerly Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Histoire), Leiden (RMNH); Forschungs-Institut Senckenberg, Frankfurt-am-Main (SMF); U.S. -

Annotated Checklist of the Marine Flora and Fauna of the Kermadec Islands Marine Reserve and Northern Kermadec Ridge, New Zealand

Duffy Department of Conservation & Auckland War Memorial Museum Shane T. Ahyong Australian Museum & University of New South Wales Abstract At least 2086 species from 729 families are reported from the insular shelf and upper slope of the Kermadec Islands Marine Reserve and north Kermadec Ridge. The best known groups are benthic Foraminifera, benthic macroalgae, Cnidaria, Mollusca, Crustacea, Bryozoa, Echinodermata, fishes and sea birds. However knowledge of the region’s biota remains superficial and even amongst these groups new species records are commonplace. Bacteria, most planktonic groups, sessile invertebrates (particularly Porifera and Ascidiacea), infaunal and interstitial invertebrates, and parasites are largely unstudied.

MONGIARDINO KOCH & THOMPSON 12 Abstract 13 Several unique properties of echinoids (sea urchins) make them useful for exploring 14 macroevolutionary dynamics, including their remarkable fossil record that can be incorporated 15 into explicit phylogenetic hypotheses. However, this potential cannot be exploited without a 16 robust resolution of the echinoid tree of life. We revisit the phylogeny of crown group 17 Echinoidea using both the largest phylogenomic dataset compiled for the clade, as well as a 18 large-scale morphological matrix with a dense fossil sampling. -

1 GLOSSARY for the ECHINOIDEA the Echinoidea, Similar to Other
March 2011 Christina Ball Royal BC Museum Phil Lambert GLOSSARY FOR THE ECHINOIDEA The Echinoidea, similar to other echinoderm groups, have an ancient lineage dating back approximately 500 million years and includes the sea urchins, sand dollars and heart urchins. Today this globally distributed group comprises approximately 1000 species (Pearse et al. 2007). Nine species are known to occur in British Columbia (Lambert and Boutillier in press). Echinoids are found exclusively in the marine environment from the intertidal down into deep water and can be found on rocky, sandy or muddy substrates (Brusca and Brusca 1990). The echinoids have a variety of body shapes ranging from disc-like sand dollars to pyramidal deepwater species. While their morphology of the echinoids varies, the group shares several other characteristics. The echinoids have mutable collagenous tissue and a water vascular system. They also have a hard endoskeleton, called a test, that is made up of interlocking plates formed from fused ossicles. They have spines and pincher- like pedicellariae that attach to the outer surface of the test and a complex jaw structure called an Aristotle’s Lantern (Lambert and Austin 2007). There is also considerable colour variation within the Echinoidea. While colour can be a useful method for identifying otherwise similar species it is important to recognize that colour is a subjective trait. There can also be considerable colour variation within a species. Like all echinoderms the echinoids posses a unique tissue type called mutable collagenous tissue. This tissue can change rapidly, in less then a second to several minutes, from a rigid to a flaccid state.
