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. These pub- lications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, laboratories, and other interested institutions and specialists throughout the world. Individual copies may be obtained from the Smithsonian Institution Press as long as stocks are available. S. DILLON RIPLEY Secretary Smithsonian Institution SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY NUMBER 98 Fenner A. Chace, Jr. The Shrimps of the Smithsonian-Bredin Caribbean Expeditions with a Summary of the West Indian Shallow-water Species (Crustacea: Decapoda: Natantia) ISSUED FIB 18 1972 SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION PRESS CITY OF WASHINGTON 1972 ABSTRACT Chace, Fenner A., Jr. The Shrimps of the Smithsonian-Bredin Caribbean Expedi- tions, with a Summary of the West Indian Shallow-water Species (Crustacea: Decapoda: Natantia). Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology, number 98, 179 pages, 61 figures, 1972.—The collections made by the Smithsonian-Bredin Expeditions to the Lesser Antilles and Virgin Islands in 1956, 1958, and 1959 and to Yucatan in 1960 contain 111 species of penaeidean, caridean, and stenopodidean shrimps, in- cluding 20 previously undescribed species. Diagnostic keys are offered to assist in the identification of the 170 shallow-water marine and fresh-water shrimps now known from the West Indian islands, as well as 48 species from adjoining geographic and bathymetric areas. References, type-localities, and distribution records are given for each of the 218 species treated, and habitat preferences are indicated for the species represented in the Smithsonian-Bredin collections. It is postulated that there is no endemic marine natantian fauna in the West Indies and that there are no na- tural barriers, except the local absence of suitable habitats, to the free distribution of most of the species in the region between the Florida Keys and Brazil; only 6 of the 70 marine species recorded from the Yucatan area have not yet been found at any of the islands in the West Indies. Official publication date is handstamped in a limited number of initial copies and is recorded in the Institution's annual report, Smithsonian Year.

  • Amphidromy in Shrimps: a Life Cycle Between Rivers and the Sea
    Lat. Am. J. Aquat. Res., 41(4): 633-650, 2013 Amphidromy in shrimps: a life cycle 633 “Studies on Freshwater Decapods in Latin America” Ingo S. Wehrtmann & Raymond T. Bauer (Guest Editors) DOI: 103856/vol41-issue4-fulltext-2 Review Amphidromy in shrimps: a life cycle between rivers and the sea Raymond T. Bauer1 1Department of Biology, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Lafayette, Louisiana, 70504-2451 USA ABSTRACT. Amphidromy is a diadromous life history pattern, common in tropical and subtropical freshwater caridean shrimps, in which adults live, breed and spawn small-sized embryos in freshwater but have extended larval development (ELD) in marine waters. Most completely freshwater species spawn large embryos with either direct or abbreviated larval development (ALD). An important benefit of amphidromy is dispersal among river systems via marine larvae, which increases their access to alternative habitats. Thus, amphidromous species have much broader geographic distributions than closely related completely freshwater ones with ALD. ALD and freshwater ELD species appear to have evolved from amphidromous species with marine ancestors. Delivery of larvae to the sea in many amphidromous species is accomplished by upstream hatching and river drift of larvae to the sea. In other species, the females themselves apparently migrate down to marine waters to spawn. After development, the postlarvae must find a river mouth and migrate upstream to the adult habitat. Migrations occur at night, with juveniles swimming or crawling along the river or stream bank. Larvae are released during the wet or flood season of the year, while juvenile migrations take place during the dry or low-flow season.

  • Larval Morphology of the Spider Crab Leurocyclus Tuberculosus (Decapoda: Majoidea: Inachoididae)
    Nauplius 17(1): 49-58, 2009 49 Larval morphology of the spider crab Leurocyclus tuberculosus (Decapoda: Majoidea: Inachoididae) William Santana and Fernando Marques (WS) Museu de Zoologia, Universidade de São Paulo, Avenida Nazaré, 481, Ipiranga, 04263-000, São Paulo, SP, Brasil. E-mail: [email protected] (FM) Universidade de São Paulo, Departamento de Zoologia, Instituto de Biociências, Caixa Postal 11461, 05588-090, São Paulo, SP, Brasil. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Within the recently resurrected family Inachoididae is Leurocyclus tuberculosus, an inachoidid spider crab distributed throughout the Western Atlantic of South America from Brazil to Argentina (including Patagonia), and along the Eastern Pacific coast of Chile. The larval development of L. tuberculosus consists of two zoeal stages and one megalopa. We observed that the larval morphology of L. tuberculosus conforms to the general pattern found in Majoidea by having two zoeal stages, in which the first stage has nine or more seta on the scaphognatite of the maxilla, and the second zoeal stage present well developed pleopods. Here, we describe the larval morphology of L. tuberculosus and compare with other inachoidid members for which we have larval information. Key words: Larval development, Majidae, Zoeal stages, Megalopa, Crustacea, Leurocyclus. Introduction described.

  • Subterranean Crustacea Decapoda Macrura Collected by Mr. L
    Int. J. Speleol. 6 (1974), pp. 231-242. Subterranean Crustacea Decapoda Macrura Collected by Mr. L. Botosaneanu during the 1973 Cuban-Roumanian Biospeological Expedition to Cuba by L. B. HOLTHUIS* To date three expeditions to explore the cave fauna of Cuba have been undertaken under the auspices of the Academies of Sciences of Roumania and Cuba; in 1969, 1970 and 1973. A paper on the cave shrimps collected by the first (1969) expedi- tion has been published (Botosaneanu & Holthuis, 1970). In that paper a review was given of the state of our knowledge of the subterranean shrimp fauna of Cuba as it was at that time, with a list of all species and references to all publications dealing with them. The 1969 expedition not only collected all species of cave shrimps then known from Cuba, but also one that was new to science. The 1973 expedition added one species to this list, the material of which repre- sents an undescribed subspecies. The number of subterranean species of shrimps collected in 1973 is smaller than that obtained in 1969, but interesting range extensions and important data on the ecology of the species could be added. In the present paper not only the shrimps are treated, but crayfishes are includ- ed as well. During the expedition Mr. Botosaneanu also collected 2 species of Macrura in epigean fresh waters, viz., a shrimp, A tya scabra (Leach, 1815) in Rio San Vicente near Vinales, Pinar del Rio Province, and the crayfish Procambarus atkinsoni (Ortmann, 1913) in Arroyo La Talega near Santa Fe, Isla de Pinos.

  • To Sea Anemones
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE. 30(2): 460-466. 1980 CORAL REEF PAPER ACCLIMATION OF TWO SHRIMPS OF THE GENUS PERICLIMENES TO SEA ANEMONES Daniel M. Levine and Orland J. Blanchard, Jr. ABSTRACT Through an acclimation behavior, Peric/imenes rathbunae Schmitt and Periclimenes an- thaphi/us Holthuis and Eibl-Eibesfeldt acquire protection from the tentacles of their respec- tive host sea anemones, Staichactis helianthus (Ellis) and Candy/actis gigantea (Weinland). Laboratory experiments have shown that after a period of isolation from the host these shrimps lose their protection from nematocysts. Unacclimated (=unprotected) shrimps were stung by anemones with and without shrimps living with them, while acclimated (=protected) shrimps were not stung by anemones, with or without shrimps. Many shrimp species belonging to the family Palaemonidae are found in sym- biotic association with other invertebrates, including actinians (Chace, 1958, 1972; Mahnken, 1972; Sargent and Wagenbach, 1975; Herrnkind, Stanton, and Conklin, 1976), scyphozoans (Bruce, 1972a), zoantharians (Bruce, 1973), antipatharians (Davis and Cohen, 1968), anthozoans (Bruce, 1972b), echinoids (Bruce, 1972c; Castro, 1974), and molluscs (Shoup, 1972; Bruce, 1975). In the shrimp genus Periclimenes some species associate with sea anemones while others, in addition to living with sea anemones, are cleaning symbionts of reef fishes (Chace, 1958; Limbaugh, Pederson, and Chace, 1961; Feder, 1966; Mahnken, 1972; Sargent and Wagenbach, 1975). Several of these invertebrate hosts, most notably sea anem- Ones, possess stinging nematocysts that are utilized in prey capture, but their shrimp symbionts are apparently not affected by them (Feder, 1966; Mahnken, 1972; Herrnkind et al. 1976). It is clear that the exoskeleton of the shrimps per se do not protect them from the nematocysts of sea anemones.

AN ENUMERATION OF THE CRUSTACEA DECAPODA NATANTIA INHABITING SUBTERRANEAN WATERS par L.-B. HOLTHUIS Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historié, Leiden, Holland The présent paper provides a list of the macrurous Decapod Crustacea, belonging to the supersection Natantia, that have been found in subterranean waters. The number of such species is quite small, being somewhat more than 40 in ail. Of thèse only part are actual troglobic forms, i.e. animais that are only known from caves and have not, or only incidentally, been found in waters that are exposed to daylight. A second group is formed by species that normally live in surface waters and only occasionally are met with in subterranean habitats. No sharp line can be drawn between thèse two catégories, the more so as at présent still extremely little is known of the biology and of the ecology of most of the species.

    LARVAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE SPIDER CRAB, LIBINIA EMARGINATA (MAJIDAE)l D. MICHAEL JOHNS2 AND WILLIAM H. LANG3 ABSTRACT Larval development ofthe spider crab, Libinia emarginata, consists oftwo zoeal stages and megalopa. Laboratory-reared larvae (South Carolina and Rhode Island) are described and compared with planktonic larvae from Narragansett Bay, R.I. No significant variations in morphology were found between laboratory-cultured larvae and "wild" larvae from plankton catches; first stage zoea from South Carolina were smaller than Rhode Island specimens. Using Artemia diets, the best percentage survival in culture was found to be 20°C for Rhode Island larvae and 25°C for South Carolina larvae. Zoeal stages show little difference from larvae ofL. dubia; however, the megalopae ofthe two species can be differentiated by the number of protuberances on the cardiac region of the carapace. Larval stages have previously been described for a ters and development times. Characteristics number of species from the family Majidae (San­ which distinguish L. emarginata larvae from the difer and Van Engel 1971, 1972). For the genus larvae ofL. dubia andL. erinacea were also noted. Libinia only two complete descriptions have been published. Boschi and Scelzo (1968) described lar­ METHODS AND MATERIALS val stages ofL. spinosa from Mar del Plata Harbor, Argentina; and Sandifer and Van Engel (1971) Ovigerous females of L. emarginata were col­ described the larval stages of L. dubia from lected off Charleston, S.C., during fall 1975 and Chesapeake Bay. Larvae ofL. erinacea have been spring1976, and in Narragansett Bay, R.I., during described by Yang (1967), but the results remain summer 1976.

  • First Records of the Sea Anemones Stichodactyla Tapetum
    Turkish Journal of Zoology Turk J Zool (2015) 39: 432-437 http://journals.tubitak.gov.tr/zoology/ © TÜBİTAK Research Article doi:10.3906/zoo-1403-50 First records of the sea anemones Stichodactyla tapetum and Stichodactyla haddoni (Anthozoa: Actiniaria: Stichodactylidae) from the southeast of Iran, Chabahar (Sea of Oman) Gilan ATTARAN-FARIMAN*, Pegah JAVID Department of Marine Biology, Faculty of Marine Sciences, Chabahar Maritime University, Chabahar, Iran Received: 26.03.2014 Accepted: 28.08.2014 Published Online: 04.05.2015 Printed: 29.05.2015 Abstract: Sea anemones (order Actiniaria) are among the most widespread invertebrates in the tropical waters. The anthozoans Stichodactyla haddoni (Saville-Kent, 1893) and Stichodactyla tapetum (Hemprich & Ehrenberg in Ehrenberg, 1834) (family Stichodactylidae) were reported for the first time from the southeastern coast of Iran, Chabahar Bay, Tiss zone. The specimens of S. haddoni and S. tapetum were collected by hand from the intertidal zone of sand and rock substrates in April 2012. The samples characteristics were morphologically studied in the field and laboratory. This study presents a new locality record and information about S. haddoni and S. tapetum found in this part of the tropical sea. Key words: Exocoelic tentacles, endocoelic tentacles, tropical sea, morphological identification, symbiotic life 1. Introduction crustaceans like crabs and shrimps (Khan et al., 2004; The order Actiniaria Hertwig, 1882 (phylum Cnidaria), Katwate and Sanjeevi, 2011, Nedosyko et al., 2014), but with 46 families, includes solitary polyps with soft bodies there has been no report from Stichodactyla tapetum and nonpinnate tentacles (Daly et al., 2007).
