Zvy Dubinsky Editors the World of Medusa and Her Sisters
Stefano Goff redo · Zvy Dubinsky Editors The Cnidaria, Past, Present and Future The world of Medusa and her sisters Diversity and Distribution of Octocorallia 8 Carlos Daniel Pérez , Bárbara de Moura Neves , Ralf Tarciso Cordeiro , Gary C. Williams , and Stephen D. Cairns Abstract Octocorals are a group of striking presence in marine benthic communities. With approxi- mately 3400 valid species the taxonomy of the group is still not resolved, mainly because of the variability of morphological characters and lack of optimization of molecular mark- ers. Octocorals are distributed in all seas and oceans of the world, from shallow waters up to 6400 m deep, but with few cosmopolitan species (principally pennatulaceans). The Indo- Pacifi c is the region that holds the greatest diversity of octocorals, showing the highest level of endemism. However, endemism in octocorals as we know might be the refl ex of a biased sampling effort, as several punctual sites present high level of endemism (e.g. Alaska, Antarctica, South Africa, Brazil, Gulf of Mexico). Since around 75 % of described octocoral species are found in waters deeper than 50 m, increasing knowledge on octocoral diversity and distribution is still limited by the availability of resources and technologies to access these environments. Furthermore, the limited number of octocoral taxonomists limits prog- ress in this fi eld. Integrative taxonomy (i.e. morphology, molecular biology, ecology and biogeography) appears to be the best way to try to better understand the taxonomy of such a diverse and important group in marine benthic communities.

Robert K. Josephson (1934–2016) Darrell R
© 2016. Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd | Journal of Experimental Biology (2016) 219, 1420-1421 doi:10.1242/jeb.142034 OBITUARY Robert K. Josephson (1934–2016) Darrell R. Stokes* Professor Robert K. Josephson died at his home in Laguna Beach, California, on 6 February 2016 following a 3 month fight with lymphoma. Over a career spanning more than half a century, and numerous venues world-wide, he became widely known and venerated as a mentor, teacher, colleague, physiologist and friend. His path to distinction began as an undergraduate at Tufts University (1952–1956). It was at Tufts that he was influenced by K. D. Roeder and became interested in pursuing graduate work in behavioral physiology. In the sixties and seventies there was considerable interest amongst researchers in a variety of invertebrate animals as many displayed rather stereotypical motor behaviors driven by neural pathways with few components, and neurons that were large and amenable to electrophysiological studies. The stated goal of many was to understand the complete behavior of an organism based on the underlying neuromuscular systems. Bullock and Horridge’s (1965a,b) two-volume series, The Structure and Function of the Nervous Systems of Invertebrates, well attests to the thrust of research during that period. Not surprisingly, Bob went to Ted Bullock’s laboratory at UCLA to pursue graduate studies (1956–1960). Dissertation research in Bullock’s laboratory set Bob on the first of two career pathways, both of which identify him as an innovative, creative and trend-setting leader in behavioral physiology. The first pathway was the behavioral physiology of ‘simply’ organized metazoan animals – namely of the Coelenterata ( jellyfish, corals, hydroids); the second pathway was the physiology and design constraints of skeletal muscle.

ZooKeys 706: 1–15. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.706.19848 Abstract Diadumene lineata (Actiniaria: Diadumenidae) is a prolific invader of coastal environments around the world. First described from Asia, this sea anemone has only been reported once from the western Gulf of Mexico at Port Aransas, Texas. No subsequent sampling has located this species at this locality. The first record of the reappearance of D. lineata on the Texas coast from three locations in the Galveston Bay area is provided, and its geographic distribution and taxonomic history reviewed.

Key words – Bryozoa, Cretaceous, U.S.A., taxonomy The Late Cretaceous bryozoan fauna of North America has been severely neglected in the past. In this preliminary study based on museum material and a limited amount of fi eldwork, we describe a total of 128 Campanian-Maastrichtian bryozoan species from Delaware, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas. Eighty-two of these species are new, as are fi ve (Basslerinella, Pseudoallantopora, Kristerina, Turnerella and Peedeesella) of the 77 genera. One new family, Peedeesellidae, is proposed. Cheilostomes, with 94 species (73 per cent of the total), outnumber cyclostomes, with 34 species (27 percent), a pattern matching that seen elsewhere in the world in coeval deposits. There appear to be very few species (4) in common with the better known bryozoan faunas of the same age from Europe. Although both local and regional diversities are moderately high, most of the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain bryozoans are encrusters; erect species are uncommon and are never present in suffi cient density to form bryozoan limestones, in contrast to some Maastrichtian deposits from other regions.

On the Morphological Relationships of the Molluseoida and Ccelenterata, and of Their Leading Members, Inter Se
( 515 ) XXXVIII.—On the Morphological Relationships of the Molluseoida and Ccelenterata, and of their leading Members, inter se. By JOHN DENIS MACDONALD, R.N., F.R.S., Surgeon of H.M S. "Icarus." (Read 21st December 1864.) Few departments of zoology have recently suffered more remarkable changes, both in classification and accepted views of structure, than the Polypi or Ccelen- terata, and their immediate allies in the ascending scale, the Molluseoida,—greatly depending upon the more extended study of those animals of late years. We have been thus enabled to discover natural affinities which prima facie evi- dence would scarcely ever have indicated, as well as intrinsic differences which the same kind of evidence has hitherto been incapable of revealing to the mind. Leading from the Protozoa to the Mollusca proper, the Coelenterata and Mol- hiscoida constitute an unbroken series of animals forming a considerable section of invertebrata, distinguished from the Protozoa by the development of true ova, and from the Mollusca by the property of gemmation developing compound ex- amples of the principal types. Furthermore, the motion of the blood, or its equi- valent, is effected either by ciliary action or by a propulsive organ; but when the latter occurs it is unfurnished with valves, so that the course of the circulation may be reversible in the same canals. The study of the different stages of development of a certain organ in the same animal comes within the pale of ordinary physiology: but when we pry into the progressive advance of any organ or function, taken in the abstract, we enter upon a more comprehensive branch of science, which not only embraces the common physiology of each particular animal, but its combined import in all.
