CDD 500.1 APRESENTAÇAO Este número dos Arquivos do Museu Nacional apresenta os resultados de um esforço integrado de levantamento da biodiversidade de crustáceos e poliquetas do Atol das Rocas, o único atol do Atlântico Ocidental e a primeira Reserva Biológica Marinha da Costa Brasileira. Este volume é dedicado postumamente a Paulo Secchin Young que, além de ser o idealizador deste projeto, foi também o Curador da Coleção de Crustacea do Museu Nacional de 1992 até sua morte em 31 de maio de 2004 com 44 anos de idade. Paulo foi um dos mais importantes nomes da carcinologia brasileira, tendo sido o editor do Catalogue of Crustacea of Brazil, também publicado pelo Museu Nacional. Sua contribuição para a ciência é representada não apenas por seus artigos e capítulos de livros, mas também pela orientação de diversos alunos de pós-graduação em todos os grupos de crustáceos. Inspirou também diversos estudantes e colegas de outros grupos taxonômicos nos campos da sistemática e biologia marinha. Paulo manteve sempre um grande entusiasmo pelo trabalho de campo, desenvolvendo projetos e expedições nas mais diversas localidades e tinha forte preocupação com o desenvolvimento das coleções taxonômicas e da sistemática de invertebrados no Brasil. Mais detalhes sobre sua vida e sua carreira podem ser encontrados em um obituário publicado em 2006 no Journal of Crustacean Biology (vol. 26, número 2, pp. 158-261). FOREWORD Paulo Secchin Young This issue of Arquivos do Museu Nacional presents the 1960 - 2004 results of an integrated effort concerning the survey of the biodiversity of crustacean and polychaetes from Rocas Atoll, the only atoll in the Southwestern Atlantic and the first Marine Biological Reserve in the Brazilian Coast. This volume is posthumously dedicated to Paulo Secchin Young who, besides being the idealizer of this project, was the Curator of the Crustacea Collection of Museu Nacional from 1992 until his death in 31 May 2004 at the age of 44 years. Paulo was one of the most important names in Brazilian carcinology being the editor of the Catalogue of Crustacea of Brazil, also published by the Museu Nacional. His contribution to Science is represented not only by his papers and book-chapters, but also in training several graduate students in all crustacean groups. He also inspired several students and colleagues from other taxonomic groups in the fields of systematics and marine biology. Paulo maintained a strong enthusiasm for fieldwork, developing projects and surveys in several distant locations and always with a concern in the development of taxonomic collections and increase of the knowledge of invertebrate systematics in Brazil. More details of his career and life are provided in an obituary published in 2006 in the Journal of Crustacean Biology (vol. 26, issue 2, pp. 158-261).

The atoll elliptical ring (3.7 to 2.5km) has a shallow central lagoon surrounded by a large reef plateau flat composed mainly of coralline algae. Despite its ecological importance the crustacean and polychaete fauna of Rocas Atoll is still poorly known with only 34 and 17 species, respectively, recorded. For this reason, an integrate effort with the aim of assessing the marine biodiversity of this Atoll was developed, through samples of reef and sedimentary environments. Results of this effort are here presented. Key words: Rocas Atoll. Crustacea. Polychaeta. Oceanic Islands. Brazil. RESUMO: O Atol das Rocas, Brasil: análise preliminar da fauna de crustáceos e poliquetas. Entre as ilhas oceânicas da costa brasileira, o Atol das Rocas se destaca por ser o único atol do Atlântico Sul e a primeira Reserva Biológica Marinha da costa brasileira. O anel elíptico do atol (3,7 a 2,5km) apresenta uma laguna central circundada por um grande platô recifal composto principalmente de algas calcárias. Apesar de sua importância ecológica, a fauna de crustáceos e poliquetas do Atol das Rocas ainda é pouco conhecida, com apenas 34 e 17 espécies, respectivamente, registradas. Por essa razão, foi realizado um esforço integrado com o objetivo de avaliar a biodiversidade marinha deste Atol através de coletas em ambientes recifais e sedimentares. Os resultados deste esforço são aqui apresentados.

CUESTA2,4) 1) Biologie I, Universität Regensburg, D-93040 Regensburg, Germany 2) Instituto de Ciencias Marinas de Andalucía, CSIC, Avenida República Saharaui, 2, E-11519 Puerto Real, Cádiz, Spain ABSTRACT A molecular and morphological analysis of representatives of the family Plagusiidae, including all members of Plagusia Latreille, 1804, and the recently established Davusia Guinot, 2007, was carried out. Due to marked differences in adult and larval morphology, as well as mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, two species of Plagusia,viz.,P. chabrus (Linnaeus, 1758), and P. dentipes De Haan, 1835, are considered sister taxa but distinct from other members of the genus. They are transferred to a new genus, Guinusia. A molecular phylogeny suggests that Guinusia is not closer related to Plagusia than to the plagusiid genera Euchirograpsus H. Milne Edwards, 1853, and Miersiograpsus Türkay, 1978. Furthermore, with new evidence from mitochondrial and nuclear DNA as well as a reappraisal of the larval morphology, the genus Percnon Gistel, 1848, is formally removed from the Plagusiidae and recognized as a separate family, Percnidae Števciˇ c,´ 2005.

Oceanic island biota generally present high percentages of endemic species, and the vulnerability of these species is higher than those of the continents. The objective of this work was to carry out a survey of the Collembola species of the order Poduromorpha in the Brazilian oceanic islands and synthesize a distribution list of this order for Brazil. Our results reveal four new species of Collembola Poduromorpha for Brazilian oceanic islands that may be useful for the conservation strategies of these island regions and a contributor to the knowledge of the order in Brazil.

This is the first report about the ascidians from Rocas. A total of 12 species were found, 5 of them not hitherto described: Ascidia viridina sp. nov., Didemnum rochai sp. nov., Leptoclinides crocotulus sp. nov., Polysyncraton maurizeliae sp. nov., and Trididemnum rocasensis sp. nov. One Caribbean species, Didemnum halimedae, was also discovered in the region for the first time. Further, this is the first record of Didemnum digestum in the Atlantic. The results indicate a high degree of endemism in the ascidian fauna from Rocas Atoll, where didemnids are presently the most important members.

Accepted 9 August 2000. Abstract South America is diverse in climatic and thus vegetational zonation, and even the uniformly looking tropical rain forests are a mosaic of different habitats depending on the soils, the regional climate and also the geological history. An important part of the nutrient webs of the rain forests is formed by the terrestrial Isopoda, or Oniscidea, the only truly terrestrial taxon within the Crustacea. They are important, because they participate in soil formation by breaking up leaf litter when foraging on the fungi and bacteria growing on them. After a century of research on this interesting taxon, a revision of the terrestrial isopod taxa from South America and some of the Antillean Islands, which are traditionally placed in the family Philosciidae, was performed in the last years to establish monophyletic genera. Within this study, the phylogenetic relationships of these genera are elucidated in the light of phylogenetic systematics. Several new taxa are recognized, which are partially neotropical, partially also found on other continents, particularly the old Gondwanian fragments. The monophyla are checked for their distributional patterns which are compared with those patterns from other taxa from South America and some correspondence was found. The distributional patterns are analysed with respect to the evolution of the Oniscidea and also with respect to the geological history of their habitats.

It is developing a sounder scientific basis for predicting and modelling environmental trends arising from natural or man- made change. The results of this research are available to those responsible for the protection, management and wise use of our natural resources. One quarter of ITE's work is research commissioned by customers, such as the Department of Environment, the European Economic Community, the Nature Conservancy Council and the Overseas Development Administration. The remainder is fundamental research supported by NERC. ITE's expertise is widely used by international organizations in overseas projects and programmes of research.
