(in preparation for submission) Carbonate secreting organisms in clastic shelf systems i Acknowledgements First and foremost, I want to thank my supervisor Hildegard Westphal. She has taught me, both consciously and un-consciously, how good scientific work is done. I appreciate all her contributions of time, ideas, and funding to make my Ph.D. experience productive and stimulating. The joy and enthusiasm she has for her work as scientist and director of a prestigious international research institute was contagious and motivational for me, even during frustrating times in the Ph.D. pursuit. Many of these chapters would not have been possible without the professional support of my highly valued colleagues at the Leibniz Center for Tropical Marine Ecology (ZMT) and the Center for Marine Environmental Sciences (MARUM) of the University of Bremen. Till J.J. Hanebuth, Hendrik Lantzsch, and Julien Michel, representative for all those who contributed to my research and provided support, are mentioned here. André Freiwald (Marine Research Department at Senckenberg am Meer, Germany) is thanked for a second review of this dissertation as well as for his contribution of time and effort. I am especially thankful to Paul D. Taylor (Museum of Natural History, United Kingdom) for giving me the opportunity to study our sedimentary samples from Mauritania at one of the oldest and most prestigious museums in the world. He contributed invaluable background knowledge and support in his function as one of the few bryozoan experts worldwide. Other international co-operations with Alvar Carranza, Fabrizio Scarabino (both Museum National de Historia Natural, Uruguay) and Felipe García Rodruígez (Universidad de la República, Uruguay) were highly interesting and stimulating. I am particularly thankful for the opportunity to study the mollusk reference material hosted at the Natural History Museum in Montevideo and, of course, for the local support. The field trips and workshops organized by Felipe helped us to spread our ideas for future collaborations and scientific research. Nereo Preto (University of Padua, Italy), Guillem Mateu-Vicens (University of the Balearic Islands, Spain) and Marco Taviani (University of Bologna, Italy) are acknowledged for their professional advice and support during various research visits and research cruises. Nereo, our Espresso sessions were hilarious and the time after the most productive part of the day! Acknowledgements ii Carbonate secreting organisms in clastic shelf systems Axel Munnecke and Matthias López Correa (both University Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany) are thanked for their local support during my research visit and for the excellent organized course on carbonate microfacies (also known as “Flügel Course”). You did a great job and I appreciate having had the opportunity to attend! Past and present members of the carbonate sedimentology workgroup are acknowledged for contributing immensely to my personal and academic education at the MARUM and later at the ZMT in Bremen. The group has been a source of friendship as well as good advice for problem solving discussions. I am particularly thankful to Claire Reymond and my Ph.D. student fellows Natalia Herrán Navarro, Thomas Mann, Peter Müller, and Andre Wizemann. Our countless, often highly emotional discussions and, of course, the interesting collaborations were a great panel to spread our ideas. Tom, our expedition to Indonesia was more than exciting and the fieldwork on a number of uninhabited remote atoll islands was a great experience. Although the customs-disaster was frustrating in the beginning, we did a great job and, what is more, in the end we managed to get all important sediment samples back to Germany, even though I had to go without my luggage. Matthias Birkicht is thanked for the endless discussions on how laser-particle-sizers do really work and how they contribute to the work of a sedimentologist, or maybe not. Furthermore, I want to appreciate the enthusiasm, intensity and willingness of Sebastian Flotow in his function as ZMT all-rounder. His support and advice in the thin section lab and during our countless SEM and µCT sessions were invaluable. Sebastian, thank you for your professional thin sections and geological preparations, even when I provided most of the material at last minute. Captain Friedhelm von Staa, his officers and crew of RV Maria S. Merian (cruise MSM16-3) are acknowledged for their excellent support of our measurement and sampling program and for creating a very friendly atmosphere on board.

The palaeobiology of echinoderms occurring in the Meerssen and Geulhem members is discussed and changes in diversity across the K/T boundary are documented. Using literature data on the ecology of extant faunas, the various echinoderm groups are considered. Naturally, such data can only be applied with due caution to fossil forms, whose skeletal morphology is often incompletely known. This holds especially true for asteroids, ophiuroids, and crinoids, which, upon death, rapidly disinte- grate into jumbles of dissociated ossicles. Bioturbation, scavenging, and current winnowing all con- tribute to blurring the picture still further. However, data on extant forms do allow a preliminary sub- division of fossil species into various ecological groups, which are discussed herein. Combining recently published data on K/T boundary sections in Jylland and Sjælland (Denmark) with the pic- ture drawn here for the Maastricht area results in the following best constrained scenario. The demise of the highly diverse latest Maastrichtian echinoderm faunas, typical of shallow-water settings with local palaeorelief and associated unconsolidated bottoms, was rapid, suggestive of a catastrophic event (e.g.

Kroh Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Karl-Franzens-Uniersity, Graz, Austria ABSTRACT: The echinoid fauna of the Danian (Paleocene) Bruderndorf Formation in Lower Austria is fairly diverse (19 taxa). A palaeoecological analysis based on functional morphology is carried out to assess the mode of living and feeding of the different species. The two preserved environments are dealt with separately and compared with each other. Finally the spatial distribution of the recorded species is investigated to improve our understanding of Danian echinoid biogeography.

    Echinoids from the Danian (Lower Paleocene) Bruderndorf Formation of Austria Andreas KROH KROH, A. 2001: Echinoids from the Danian (Lower Paleocene) Bruderndorf Formation of Austria. – In: PILLER, W. E. & RASSER, M. W. (Eds.): Paleogene of the Eastern Alps. – Österr. Akad. Wiss., Schriftenr. Erdwiss. Komm. 14: 377-463, 36 Figs., 3 Tabs., 14 Pls., Wien. Abstract: The echinoid fauna of the Danian (Paleocene) Bruderndorf Formation is described in detail, based on a large collection of more than 1200 specimens, housed at the Natural History Museum of Vienna and the Institute of Palaeontology, University of Vienna. Nineteen taxa are recognised, and most of them are described and figured for the first time from Austrian sediments. Additionally, all former reports of echinoids from these strata have been revised on the basis of the original material, resulting in the withdrawal of several synonymous species. The echinoid fauna generally confirms the Danian age of the Bruderndorf Fm. This fauna shows affinities to the North and Southwest European echinoid faunas, as well as to the faunas of the Caucasus and the Transcaspian Region. This distribution supports the theory of a major faunal reorganisation following the K/Pg-event, which resulted in a rather homogeneous and widely distributed echinoid fauna during the Danian. Zusammenfassung: Die Echinidenfauna der Bruderndorf-Formation (Danium, Paleozän) wird an- hand einer sehr großen Sammlung von über 1200 Echiniden des Naturhistorischen Museums Wien und des Instituts für Paläontologie der Universität Wien untersucht. Neunzehn Arten, die im Detail beschrieben und abgebildet sind, wurden in dem untersuchten Material festgestellt. Weiters wurden alle bisherigen Arbeiten über diese Echinidenfauna anhand des Originalmaterials revidiert, woraufhin einige Arten als synonym betrachtet werden.

  • Peronella Thesis Main Corrections FINAL
    Population biology of the sand dollar, Peronella lesueuri , in Cockburn Sound, southwest Australia Sharon Yeo Sue-Yee BSc (Hons) Environmental Biology This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2013 1 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. .................................... Sharon Yeo Sue-Yee 2 Population biology of sand dollar, Peronella lesueuri , in Cockburn Sound, southwest Australia Abstract Peronella lesueuri, commonly known as the pink sand dollar, is an irregular echinoid that can be found in the sandy sediment substrates of Cockburn Sound, southwest Australia. The numbers in which they are found indicate that they are likely to be an ecologically significant species. This is the first study of the biology and ecology of this species. A survey of current spatial distribution and abundances of Peronella lesueuri populations at a range of sites within Cockburn Sound shows the presence of the sand dollars on the shallower, sandy sills that surround the Sound. P. lesueuri was notably absent from the deeper central basin of Cockburn Sound, where silt is a major component of the sediment. The population densities of P. lesueuri ranged from 0.3 to 2.5 individuals m -2 at sites no deeper than ten metres. Mean test lengths were larger at sites less than five metres in depth. Sediment grain size preference and food availability were likely factors that determined the spatial distribution of the sand dollars in Cockburn Sound.

    TESTING THE ROLES OF EXTRATROPICAL ORIGINATION AND PREDATION ON IRREGULAR ECHINOID EVOLUTION by JUSTIN MATTHEW MILLER (Under the Direction of Sally E. Walker) ABSTRACT The number of extratropical vs. tropical originations and the predation frequency of fossil irregular echinoids were analyzed to gain a better understanding of their evolution. The latitudinal diversity gradient for irregular echinoids is atypical compared to other marine bivalves and current evolutionary models are not applicable. An out-of-the-extratropics (OTE) model is used to describe how marine organisms may originate in the extratropics and then migrate into tropical regions. Irregular echinoids from the Late Eocene Ocala Limestone were categorized into burrow tiers based on morphological characters so predation frequency at different burrow depths could be assessed. Predation frequency was highest for medium and deep burrow tiers, suggesting that burrowing does not reduce cassid predation. This may indicate that evolution towards infaunalism for irregular echinoids was not driven by increasing predation pressure in the Mesozoic.

Zoosymposia, 7, xii + 316 pp. Abstract Tomographic imaging techniques such as micro-computed tomography (µCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) permit the gathering of digital anatomical data from whole animal specimens non-invasively. The resulting datasets can be used for direct observation of the two-dimensional tomographic image data as well as for manual and semi-automated three-dimensional modelling. Freshly fixed specimens as well as preserved museum material can be successfully ana- lyzed using this approach, giving the zoomorphologist a powerful tool for large-scale comparative studies. In order to demonstrate the principle suitability of non-invasive imaging in echinoderm research, µCT scans of 199 and MRI scans of 92 sea urchin (Echinodermata: Echinoidea) species were acquired, resulting in a total of 203 analyzed echinoid species. The taxa selected represent 50 of the currently recognized 60 extant sea urchin families. The present article lists all spe- cies that have been analyzed so far and provides information about the scanning parameters employed for each dataset. Furthermore, the workflow established to generate three-dimensional models of sea urchins is outlined.

  • The Echinoderm Fauna of Ascension Island, South Atlantic Ocean
    The Echinoderm Fauna of Ascension Island, South Atlantic Ocean MARINE SCIENCES NUMBER SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined 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 theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review. Press requirements for manuscript and art preparation are outlined on the inside back cover.
