KIER and MARY HURD LAWSON SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO PALEOBIOLOGY NUMBER 34 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 cf 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. S.

    A TAXONOMIC REVISION OF THE TERTIARY ECHINOID GENUS MONOSTYCHIA Tony Sadler ORCID: 0000-0002-3406-8885 Submitted for the total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2020 School of Earth Sciences The University of Melbourne ABSTRACT For over 100 years the genus Monostychia (Echinoidea: Clypeasteroida) and its type species M. australis Laube, 1869 have been a taxonomic home for a wide range of genera and species with the commonality of a rounded to pentagonal, discoidal test and a submarginal periproct. The specimens comprising this group are all extinct and from the Tertiary strata of southern Australia. While there have been a few minor species identified beyond M. australis, notably M. etheridgei Woods, 1877 and P. loveni (Duncan, 1877), it has been clear to many researchers that the variability remaining in M. australis was representative of numerous other taxa awaiting discovery. Recent taxonomic works on the Clypeasteroida suggested that the number of interambulacral plates on the oral surface of the test of some species was a useful diagnostic character. Of interest were the plates that first come into contact with the periproct. However, there appeared little evidence in the literature that it had been established that the number of such plates remained constant with test length and age, or that the variability in each taxon, of those plate numbers, has been determined. Without understanding those two issues the utility of plate numbers was questionable. This study set out to resolve some of those issues for Monostychia and its relatives. It was found that the number of interambulacral and ambulacral plates on the oral surface was fixed and did not change with increasing test length and therefore there was potential utility for plate numbers as a taxonomic tool.

    SINGAPORE BIODIVERSITY RECORDS 2017: 96 ISSN 2345-7597 Date of publication: 28 July 2017. © National University of Singapore Zebra crab on a sea-urchin at Changi Beach Subjects: Zebra crab, Zebrida adamsii (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura: Eumedonidae); Sea-urchin, Salmacis sphaeroides (Echinoidea: Camarodonta: Temnopleuridae). Subjects identified by: Neo Mei Lin. Location, date and time: Singapore Island, Changi Beach; 25 June 2017; around 0600 hrs. Habitat: Estuarine. Intertidal seagrass meadow. Observers: Contributors. Observation: A single zebra crab with carapace width of about 10 mm was found on the surface of a sea- urchin, Salmacis sphaeroides (Fig. A & B). Remarks: Members of the eumedonid crabs are known obligates on sea-urchins. Zebrida adamsii is widely distributed throughout the Indo-West Pacific (Ng & Chia, 1999), and has been documented on one occasion in Singapore (Johnson, 1962). This is believed to be the first record of the species on Changi Beach. The host sea urchin was found with a naked inter-ambulacral zone (as indicated by the white arrow in Fig. A), which could be due to Z. adamsii feeding on the urchin’s tube-feet and tissues (Saravanan et al., 2015). This suggests that the crab is parasitic on the sea urchin. References: Johnson, D. S., 1962. Commensalism and semi-parasitism amongst decapod Crustacea in Singapore waters.

    Hopkins and Smith, SI Appendix SI Appendix for Hopkins, Melanie J, and Smith, Andrew B. Dynamic evolutionary change in post-Paleozoic echinoids and the importance of scale when interpreting changes in rates of evolution. Corrections to character matrix Before running any analyses, we corrected a few errors in the published character matrix of Kroh and Smith (1). Specifically, we removed the three duplicate records of Oligopygus, Haimea, and Conoclypus, and removed characters C51 and C59, which had been excluded from the phylogenetic analysis but mistakenly remain in the matrix that was published in Appendix 2 of (1). We also excluded Anisocidaris, Paurocidaris, Pseudocidaris, Glyphopneustes, Enichaster, and Tiarechinus from the character matrix because these taxa were excluded from the strict consensus tree (1). This left 164 taxa and 303 characters for calculations of rates of evolution and for the principal coordinates analysis. Other tree scaling methods The most basic method for scaling a tree using first appearances of taxa is to make each internal node the age of its oldest descendent ("stand") (2), but this often results in many zero-length branches which are both theoretically questionable and in some cases methodologically problematic (3). Several methods exist for modifying zero-length branches. In the case of the results shown in Figure 1, we assigned a positive length to each zero-length branch by having it share time equally with a preceding, non-zero-length branch (“equal”) (4). However, we compared the results from this method of scaling to several other methods. First, we compared this with rates estimated from trees scaled such that zero-length branches share time proportionally to the amount of character change along the branches (“prop”) (5), a variation which gave almost identical results as the method used for the “equal” method (Fig.

Fossil Spatangoid Echinoids of Cuba. Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology, number 55, 336 pages, frontispiece, 45 figures, 90 plates, 6 tables, 1984.—The fossil spatangoid echinoids of Cuba are described based for the most part on specimens in the Sanchez Roig Collection. Seventy-nine species are recognized including 10 from the Late Cretaceous, 36 from the Eocene, 20 from the Oligocene-Miocene, 11 from the Miocene, and 2 of uncertain age. Three of the Eocene species are new: Schizas ter forme III, Linthia monteroae, and Antillaster albeari. A new genus of schizasterid is described, Caribbaster, with the Eocene Prenaster loveni Cotteau as the type-species. A new Asterostoma, A. pawsoni, is described from the Eocene of Jamaica. The Eocene age of the Cuban echinoid-bearing localities is confirmed by the presence outside Cuba of many ofthe same species in beds dated on other fossils. Some evidence supports the Miocene determinations, but the echinoids are of little assistance in resolving the question whether the Cuban beds attributed to the Oligocene are Oligocene or Miocene. Cuban, and in general, the Caribbean Tertiary echinoid faunas are distinct from those in Europe and the Mediterranean. Many genera are confined to the Caribbean. The Cuban fauna is also different from that found nearby in Florida. This difference may be due to a suggested greater depth of water in Cuba. Se describen los equinoideos espatangoideos de Cuba, incluyendo los es- pecimenes de la Coleccion Sanchez Roig.

Historical data: echinoderms Alison Sampey1* and Loisette M. Marsh1 1 Department of Aquatic Zoology, Western Australian Museum, Locked Bag 49, Welshpool DC, Western Australia 6986, Australia * Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT – Australian state museums contain extensive species data and can provide baseline biodiversity information for many areas. We collated the specimen records from the Kimberley region of Australia and found 382 shallow water (<30 m) echinoderm species, comparable to available estimates of species richness from adjacent regions such as the Pilbara, ‘Coral Triangle’ or Great Barrier Reef. We identify and discuss taxonomic and collecting gaps, cross shelf patterns in species richness and composition, biogeography, and suggest some areas for future research on echinoderms in the region. At most locations, echinoderms have been incompletely sampled and many taxonomic gaps are apparent. Sampling to date has focused on hard substrates, yet there are extensive soft sediment areas in the region. More collections have occurred at inshore reefs and islands, which are more numerous, than at offshore atolls. Cumulative species richness is higher inshore than offshore, but at most inshore locations species richness is lower than offshore. However, this is biased by more collections having occurred intertidally inshore compared to subtidally offshore and much remains to be discovered about the inshore subtidal echinoderm fauna. Five times more endemic species are recorded inshore than offshore, with conservation implications. Further work is needed to identify specimens in existing collections. KEYWORDS: natural history collections, species inventory, biodiversity, NW Australia, baseline INTRODUCTION taxa known from an area henceforth titled the Kimberley Project Area (Project Area).
