Anchialine Cave Biology in the Era of Speleogenomics Jorge L

Pérez-Moreno1*, Thomas M. Iliffe2, and Heather D. Bracken-Grissom1 1Department of Biological Sciences, Florida International University, Biscayne Bay Campus, North Miami FL 33181, USA 2Department of Marine Biology, Texas A&M University at Galveston, Galveston, TX 77553, USA Abstract: Anchialine caves contain haline bodies of water with underground connections to the ocean and limited exposure to open air. Despite being found on islands and peninsular coastlines around the world, the isolation of anchialine systems has facilitated the evolution of high levels of endemism among their inhabitants. The unique characteristics of anchialine caves and of their predominantly crustacean biodiversity nominate them as particularly interesting study subjects for evolutionary biology. However, there is presently a distinct scarcity of modern molecular methods being employed in the study of anchialine cave ecosystems. The use of current and emerging molecular techniques, e.g., next-generation sequencing (NGS), bestows an exceptional opportunity to answer a variety of long-standing questions pertaining to the realms of speciation, biogeography, population genetics, and evolution, as well as the emergence of extraordinary morphological and physiological adaptations to these unique environments. The integration of NGS methodologies with traditional taxonomic and ecological methods will help elucidate the unique characteristics and evolutionary history of anchialine cave fauna, and thus the significance of their conservation in face of current and future anthropogenic threats. -

Abstract Inversions of the origin of replication (ORI) of mitochondrial genomes produce asymmetrical mutational pressures that can cause artefactual clustering in phylogenetic analyses. It is therefore an absolute prerequisite for all molecular evolution studies that use mitochondrial data to account for ORI events in the evolutionary history of their dataset. -

Systematics, Phylogeny, and Taphonomy of Ghost Shrimps (Decapoda): a Perspective from the Fossil Record

Abstract Ghost shrimps of Callianassidae and Ctenochelidae are soft-bodied, usually heterochelous decapods representing major bioturbators of muddy and sandy (sub)marine substrates. Ghost shrimps have a robust fossil record spanning from the Early Cretaceous (~ 133 Ma) to the Holocene and their remains are present in most assemblages of Cenozoic decapod crustaceans. Their taxonomic interpretation is in flux, mainly because the generic assignment is hindered by their insufficient preservation and disagreement in the biological classification. Fur- thermore, numerous taxa are incorrectly classified within the catch-all taxonCallianassa . To show the historical patterns in describing fos- sil ghost shrimps and to evaluate taphonomic aspects influencing the attribution of ghost shrimp remains to higher level taxa, a database of all fossil species treated at some time as belonging to the group has been compiled: 250 / 274 species are considered valid ghost shrimp taxa herein. -
Hadzioidea of the NEP (Equator to Aleutians, Intertidal to Abyss): a Review Donald B
Hadzioidea of the NEP (Equator to Aleutians, intertidal to abyss): a review Donald B. Cadien 31 August 2005 (revised 11Oct 2007) Introduction to the Hadzioidea The superfamily was originally constituted as the Melitoidea (Bousfield 1977). This concept was critiqued by J. L. Barnard and Karaman (1980), and in response Bousfield renamed the group Hadzioidea without changing its composition (Bousfield 1983). Only three families are included in this superfamily, although one of them (Hadziidae) is further divided into three unofficial groups – weckeliids, hadziids, and nuuanids. These were originally included in the broad concept of the gammaroids, but have been separated for several decades. The taxonomic position suggested by Bousfield (2001)is used here, but Barnard and Karaman and others retained them as several groups within the gammaroids s. l.. The discussion of the hadzioids in J. L. Barnard & C. M. Barnard (1983, pp. 137-140, and as “Melita Group” pp. 147-151) may help show how members of this superfamily differ from other gammaroids, and from each other. The first family in the superfamily, the Allocrangonyctidae is confined to freshwater and is not covered here. The remaining two, Hadziidae and Melitidae, are primarily marine, and are both represented in the NEP. Maera sp an undescribed species from Guana Island (Photo Yale Peabody Museum) Diagnosis of the Hadzioidea – “body not carinate nor rostrate, toothed on abdomen only (rarely on peraeon): urosome dorsal spine groups weak or lacking; sexual dimorphism strongly expressed in body size and in gnathopods, and in antenna 2 and peraeopods; antennae 2 lacking calceoli; antennae strongly developed, 1 usually much the longer, peduncular segment 2 elongate; accessory flagellum prominent (occasionally very reduced or lacking); inferior antennal sinus small or sharply incised; eye (when present) basically small, rounded, occasionally reniform. -

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract New record and new species of the families Melitidae Bousfield, 1973 and Maeridae Krapp-Schickel, 2008 are described from the Iranian shorelines of the Persian Gulf. Melita persia sp. nov. is differentiated from other members of M. zeylanica Stebbing, 1904 group by: the presence of two setae on inner ramus of third uropod, the setal arrangement on the telson, and a recurved proximal lobe of sixth coxa in females. Also, Elasmopus menurte Barnard, 1974 previously described from Western Australia and Mauritius is recorded, for the first time, from Persian Gulf in the north-western Indian Ocean. Key words: Melita persia sp. nov., Elasmopus menurte, Qeshm Island, Iran Introduction The family Maeridae in the superfamily Hadzioidea was established by Krapp-Schickel (2008). Based on a new comprehensive review of amphipod taxonomy and phylogeny by Lowry & Myers (2013) the superfamily Hadzioidea is composed of eight families. The Hadzioidea is characterized by the first antenna longer than second antenna and the peduncle of first uropod with a basofacial robust seta. -
