Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington . PROC. BIOL. SOC. WASH. 104(2), 1991, pp. 253-268 REVISION OF IPHIMEDIIDAE AND SIMILAR FAMILIES (AMPHIPODA: GAMMARIDEA) C. O. Coleman and J. L. Barnard Abstract.— The amphipod families Acanthonotozomatidae, Amathillopsi- dae, Astryidae, Epimeriidae (=Paramphithoidae), Iphimediidae, Ochlesidae and Stilipedidae are rediagnosed and three new families, Acanthonotozomel- lidae, Dikwidae, and Odiidae are described. New keys distinguish these fam- ilies; other similar families, Lafystiidae and Laphystiopsidae are diagnosed and included in the keys. In the process of rediagnosing the Och- more discretely from Iphimediidae, without lesidae Stebbing, 1910 (see Coleman & resorting to the difficult judgment about the Barnard 1991a), as a family distinct from conical or quadrate shapes of the mouthpart Iphimediidae, we determined that other al- group.

Total of 66 species belonging to 22 families were identified after analyzing the samples collected seasonally from the depths ranging between 1 and 30 m between 2007- 2008. According to the data gathered from the literature, it was determined that one species (Bathyporeia elegans Watkin, 1938) was a new record for the Turkish seas and 37 species for the Marmara Sea. In the Bandırma Gulf, of the ecological variables of the environment temperature was determined to range between 6.6-27°C, salinity between 21.32-36.03 psu, dissolved oxygen between 4.04-11.26 mg l-1and pH between 8.00-8.38. In the Erdek Gulf, temperature ranged between 6.7 and 27°C, salinity between 21.93-35.54‰, dissolved oxygen between 3.67-13.26 mg l-1and pH between 8.06-8.36. In the surface sediment at the sampling stations of the Bandırma Gulf, total organic carbon values were between 0.07-4.42%, total calcium carbonate between 0.88-84.82%, total phosphorus between 609-12740 μg g-1 and mud percentage between 1.38-79.93%.

Griffiths* Department of Biological Sciences & Marine Research Institute, University of CapeTown, Rondebosch, 7700 South Africa E-mail: [email protected] (with 13 figures) Received 25 June 2013. Accepted 23 August 2013 Three species of marine Amphipoda, Peramphithoe africana, Varohios serratus and Ceradocus isimangaliso, are described as new to science and an additional 13 species are recorded from South Africa for the first time. Twelve of these new records originate from collecting expeditions to Sodwana Bay in northern KwaZulu-Natal, while one is an introduced species newly recorded from Simon’s Town Harbour. In addition, we collate all additions and revisions to the regional amphipod fauna that have taken place since the last major monographs of each group and produce a comprehensive, updated faunal list for the region. A total of 483 amphipod species are currently recognized from continental South Africa and its Exclusive Economic Zone . Of these, 35 are restricted to freshwater habitats, seven are terrestrial forms, and the remainder either marine or estuarine. The fauna includes 117 members of the suborder Corophiidea, 260 of the suborder Gammaridea, 105 of the suborder Hyperiidea and a single described representative of the suborder Ingolfiellidea.

Abstract: Gammaridea and Corophiidea amphipod species from the Beagle Channel and the Straits of Magellan were listed for the first time; their faunas were compared on the basis of bibliographic information and material collected in one locality at Beagle Channel (Isla Becasses). The species Schraderia serraticauda and Heterophoxus trichosus (collected at Isla Becasses) were cited for the first time for the Magellan region; Schraderia is the first generic record for this region. A total of 127 species were reported for the Beagle Channel and the Straits of Magellan. Sixty-two species were shared between both passages (71.3 % similarity). The amphipod species represented 34 families and 83 genera. The similarity at genus level was 86.4 %, whereas 23 of the 34 families were present in both areas. For all species, 86 had bathymetric ranges above 100 m and only 12 species ranged below 200 m depth. In the Beagle Channel, only one species had a depth record greater than 150 m, whereas in the Straits of Magellan, 15 had such a record.

[email protected] Abstract A new species of Alexandrella is herein described based on material from the South Mid-Atlantic Ridge around depths of 4700 m. Samples were collected in the scope of the South MAR ECO (Patterns and Processes of the Ecosystems of the Mid-Atlantic) Project, which was part of the Census of Marine Life (CoML). Until the present study, Alexandrella was restricted to Antarctic and Subantarctic waters, with two species having extended distributions (Kermadec Trench, Aus- tralia and New Zealand). This is the first record of Alexandrella in the deep sea Atlantic, outside the Southern Ocean limits. Key words: Alexandrella, new species, deep sea, Mid-Atlantic Ridge, Census of Marine Life. Introduction Oceans of the southern hemisphere have been much less researched and sampled than the northern hemisphere, especially the South Atlantic. The South Atlantic Ocean is the newest of all major oceans, formed by the separation of South America and Africa 175 – 90 million years ago (Levin & Gooday, 2003). Its configuration and size are outcomes of two independent spreading processes: one that formed the North Atlantic in the early Mesozoic nearly 200 million years ago and another that formed the South Atlantic 100 million years later.

On the origin and evolution of Antarctic Peracarida (Crustacea, Malacostraca)* ANGELIKA BRANDT Zoological Institute and Zoological Museum, Martin-Luther-King-Platz 3, D-20146 Hamburg, Germany Dedicated to Jürgen Sieg, who silently died in 1996. He inspired this research with his important account of the zoogeography of the Antarctic Tanaidacea. SUMMARY: The early separation of Gondwana and the subsequent isolation of Antarctica caused a long evolutionary his- tory of its fauna. Both, long environmental stability over millions of years and habitat heterogeneity, due to an abundance of sessile suspension feeders on the continental shelf, favoured evolutionary processes of “preadapted“ taxa, like for exam- ple the Peracarida. This taxon performs brood protection and this might be one of the most important reasons why it is very successful (i.e. abundant and diverse) in most terrestrial and aquatic environments, with some species even occupying deserts. The extinction of many decapod crustaceans in the Cenozoic might have allowed the Peracarida to find and use free ecological niches. Therefore the palaeogeographic, palaeoclimatologic, and palaeo-hydrographic changes since the Palaeocene (at least since about 60 Ma ago) and the evolutionary success of some peracarid taxa (e.g. Amphipoda, Isopo- da) led to the evolution of many endemic species in the Antarctic. Based on a phylogenetic analysis of the Antarctic Tanaidacea, Sieg (1988) demonstrated that the tanaid fauna of the Antarctic is mainly represented by phylogenetically younger taxa, and data from other crustacean taxa led Sieg (1988) to conclude that the recent Antarctic crustacean fauna must be comparatively young.

  • Colonization of Novel Algal Habitats by Juveniles of a Marine Tube-Dwelling Amphipod
    Colonization of novel algal habitats by juveniles of a marine tube-dwelling amphipod Marilia Bueno1, Glauco B.O. Machado1,2 and Fosca P.P. Leite1 1 Departamento de Biologia Animal, Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil 2 Instituto de Biociências, Campus do Litoral Paulista, Universidade Estadual Paulista, São Vicente, São Paulo, Brazil ABSTRACT Background: Dispersal is an important process affecting population dynamics and connectivity. For marine direct developers, both adults and juveniles may disperse. Although the distribution of juveniles can be initially constrained by their mothers’ choice, they may be able to leave the parental habitat and colonize other habitats. We investigated the effect of habitat quality, patch size and presence of conspecific adults on the colonization of novel habitats by juveniles of the tube-dwelling amphipod Cymadusa filosa associated with the macroalgal host Sargassum filipendula. Methods: We tested the factors listed above on the colonization of juveniles by manipulating natural and artificial plants in both the field and laboratory. Results: In the laboratory, juveniles selected high-quality habitats (i.e., natural alga), where both food and shelter are provided, when low-quality resources (i.e., artificial alga) were also available. In contrast, habitat quality and algal patch size did not affect the colonization by juveniles in the field. Finally, the presence of conspecific adults did not affect the colonization of juveniles under laboratory condition but had a weak effect in the field experiment. Our results suggest that C. filosa juveniles can select and colonize novel habitats, and that such process can be partially affected by habitat Submitted 6 August 2020 quality, but not by patch size.

The effects of this warming on the Canadian Beaufort Shelf have led to a longer ice-free season which has assisted the expansion of northern development, mainly in the oil and gas sector. Both these direct and indirect effects of climate change will likely impact the marine ecosystem of this region, in which benthic fauna play a key ecological role.
