ABSTRACT Alpheid snapping shrimp are one of the most diverse groups of coral-reef fauna, and sponge-dwelling shrimp in the genus Synalpheus (gambarelloides species group) have in particular become a model system for studying the evolution of social biology and host use in marine invertebrates. Despite recent advances in understanding the evolution and systematics of Synalpheus, the taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships within this group remain challenging. More than 20 new species in the S. gambarelloides species group have been described over the past two decades, primarily within several cryptic species complexes, which has doubled the known diversity of this group in the West Atlantic. Here we construct a new phylogenetic tree describing relationships between 40 different species from the S. gambarelloides-group (119 individuals from across the Caribbean), using a combined dataset consisting of two mitochondrial loci (16S and COI), one nuclear protein-coding gene (elongation-factor 2), and 33 morphological characters. Putative conspecific specimens of Synalpheus from multiple locations across the Caribbean were always monophyletic (with one exception), providing strong support for the validity of species concepts based on morphology. Our study also provides further evidence for the monophyly of the S. gambarelloides-group in the Caribbean, resolves the molecular relationships within many recently described species complexes, and provides a new phylogenetic framework for future evolutionary studies of this group.

(Coutie`re, 1909; Banner and Banner, 1975; Bruce, 1976; Our understanding of the evolutionary ecology of host Rios and Duffy, 2007). Species in the Synalpheus use and social systems in these shrimp has been gambarelloides-group (Nardo, 1847) are by far the most transformed by prior work on the phylogenetics of this well-studied group of these snapping shrimp. The S. group from the West Atlantic (Duffy et al., 2000; Morrison gambarelloides-group is largely limited to the western et al., 2004). Previous phylogenetic work has demonstrated North Atlantic (with some exceptions), is thought to be that eusociality evolved independently at least three times monophyletic based on prior molecular phylogenies in the West Atlantic Synalpheus (Duffy et al., 2000) and (Morrison et al., 2004), and its members share a few key that the high diversity of the S. gambarelloides-group may morphological synapomorphies, most notably a brush of have originated from a rapid species radiation , 5-7 MYA setae on the dactyl of the minor chela (Coutie`re, 1909; Rios (Morrison et al., 2004), concurrent with radiations of and Duffy, 2007). Members of this species group also live several other Caribbean reef-associated species. This period exclusively in the canals of marine sponges (Dardeau, 1984; of ancient rapid cladogenesis is evident in branching Duffy, 1992; Macdonald et al., 2006; Rios and Duffy, 2007). patterns in phylogenies of Synalpheus, which are charac- Although accounts of sponge-dwelling have been noted in terized by short basal branches and poorly supported nodes several other synalpheid and alpheid species (Banner and at the base of the tree, and much better support for more Banner, 1975, 1982), this symbiotic habit is most well terminal species-level nodes (Morrison et al., 2004). documented in members of the S. gambarelloides-group Alternately, this pattern could have resulted from the genes (Duffy, 1996c; Macdonald et al., 2006). Most notably, used to reconstruct relationships; both previously published several species within this group are eusocial—living in phylogenies of Synalpheus relied only on mitochondrial large, reproductively skewed colonies consisting of tens to molecular loci (16s rRNA and cytochrome oxidase I), hundreds of individuals with one or a very few breeding which tend to evolve rapidly and may be less useful in females (Duffy, 1996a, 2007).

    real damage to the shrimp. It is best to keep Bongo Shrimp singly or in established pairs. PISTOL SHRIMP Pistol shrimp are very different from most other species of shrimp in that they burrow and have the ability to stun and kill their various prey without ever touching them. Most pistol shrimp are in the Alpheidae family and Alpheus genus and are found all over the world. Pistol shrimp get their name from their particular ability to snap their modified larger claw in order to injure prey or predators. The snap is so powerful that it creates a microscopic bubble which shoots out of the claw towards its target. The bubble moves so fast that scientists have recorded the sound to be about 218 Tiger Pistol Shrimp (Alpheus bellulus). Image by Sabine Penisson. decibels, comparable to the sound of a gun-shot.

The genus Arete can be distinguished from the most similar genus Athanas by the following. The chelae are broad and oval-shaped in Arete, but in Athanas, the chelae are more or less elongated. The number of carpal segments in the 2nd pereopod is four but five, exceptionally four or six in Athanas. The epipods are present on pereopod 1 and pereopod 2 in Arete, but on pereopod 1-3, exceptionally on pereopod 1 and pereopod 2 or pereopod 1-4 in Athanas. In this paper, Arete dorsalis is reported for the first time from Korean waters. Korean Alpheidae fauna now consists of 27 species of nine genera.
