Pierre Dac -10 Remerciements Aussi évident que cela puisse paraître, une thèse, c’est avant tout une très belle aventure humaine. D’aucuns pourraient trouver ces remerciements bien trop longs… Désolé, mais vous pouvez passer directement à la case Science, d’ailleurs personne ne vous en tiendra rigueur (rendez-vous en page -2). Pour les autres, cette aventure humaine est là… Au moment de faire le bilan de trois ans de thèse (et de trois ans d’autres choses aussi), cet exercice permet (entre autres) de se souvenir de personnes et d’événements qui avaient préféré aller se réfugier dans des zones peu utilisées de la mémoire. Ne serait-ce que pour cela, il est bon de régulièrement écrire quelques remerciements, ça fait vraiment du bien. Personnellement, j’ai toujours trouvé que la partie la plus intéressante à lire dans ce type de document était les remerciements. Ils révèlent que notre travail possède une dimension humaine bien trop souvent cachée sous des théories, des prédictions, des analyses ou des tailles d’échantillons. J’espère que vous prendrez autant de plaisir à lire ces remerciements que j’en ai pris à les écrire. Nota bene : En aucun cas, il faudrait croire que l’ordre, dans lequel sont rangés ces remerciements, reflète, d’une manière ou d’une autre, un quelconque ordre d’importance des personnes citées ici… Il s’agit bien au contraire d’un artefact, indépendant de ma volonté, lié à l’importance de rester lisible. Autrement, mes remerciements auraient très rapidement ressemblé à cela : JeJe voudrais voudrais tout tout d’abord d’abord remercier remercier untel untel pour pour cela cela JeJeJe voudrais voudrais voudrais tout tout tout d’abord d’abord d’abord remercier remercier remercier untel untel untel pour pour pour cela cela cela -9 Je tiens à remercier sincèrement les membres du jury qui ont accepté d’examiner ce travail. Messieurs Dominique Ponton , Luca Luiselli , Marco Zuffi , Claudio Lazzari , Richard Shine , Ivan Ineich et Xavier Bonnet . Je remercie l’ Université François Rabelais de Tours et l’ Ecole Doctorale “Santé, Science et Technologie” pour le soutien financier nécessaire à l’accomplissement de cette thèse. Evidemment, un très grand MERCI à Xavier Bonnet dont les conseils, et le soutien, sans failles m’ont permis d’arriver jusque là… Quelle transformation entre le petit étudiant de Licence perdu au laboratoire en 2001 et la fin de cette thèse ! Avoir un directeur (oserais-je dire un co-équipier ?) qui accorde une telle confiance et une telle autonomie sans pour autant perdre de vue le vrai travail d’encadrement fut un avantage majeur au cours de mes années à Chizé. Les conditions de travail en deviennent extrêmement confortables. Merci de m’avoir accordé ta confiance, j’espère que tu n’es pas déçu de l’investissement… Si l’Australie est loin, tu as été très présent au cours de tout ce travail de thèse. Merci pour toute l’aide que tu m’as apporté, cher Richard Shine . Merci aussi pour les accueils multiples dont j’ai bénéficié à Sydney, à l’Université, mais aussi chez toi. Et pour ça, merci aussi à Terri , Ben et Mac . Merci à Ivan Ineich pour avoir initié avec Xavier et Rick cette étude Calédonienne. Et comme j’ai passé cette thèse entre les Deux-Sèvres et la Calédonie, voilà pour le reste !!! Coté Chizéen Je tiens à remercier les deux directeurs du Centre d’Etudes biologiques de Chizé qui m’ont successivement accueilli pendant ces six ans et demi passés au laboratoire. Il s’agit de Messieurs Patrick Duncan et Vincent Bretagnolle . -8 Pour l’aide permanente qui permet d’aplanir toutes les petites difficultés de la vie quotidienne, mais aussi pour la chaleur des relations humaines au laboratoire, je tiens à remercier Evelyse , Martine , Simone , Aimé , Jean-Jacques , André , Denis , André , Colette , Stéphanie , Patrice , Christophe , Gérard, Sylvie, Dominique ... Que serait la vie au CEBC si l’on n’avait pas sur place un maître-queue… Pour le réconfort qu’apporte toujours un bon repas, merci à Christophe et Micheline . Que serais-je devenu si je n’avais pas été accueilli chaleureusement dès mon arrivée par Los Herpetos , équipe changeante mais dont les piliers permettent de conserver toujours la même bonne humeur : Xav , Oli (les conseils, soutiens, encadrements, papiers…), Fred (qui nous manque), Chris , Jim , Miches-à-ailes (membre honoraire), Roger , Max , Cath , Sof et j’en oublie beaucoup… Et les Chizéens, les “anciens” bien sur mais aussi les “petits nouveaux”, en tas : Cyril et Marie , Olivier et Céline (Chat et Souricette), Virginie , Rod et Marie , Séb et Cécile , Diane , Joe-La-Glande , Anne , MirAlex , Audrey , Pascal , Steeve , Salom , Léo , Olivier , Benoît , Victor , Camille , Audrey , Virginie , Simon et Catherine , Aurélie et puis j’en oublie plein et ils vont être vexés… alors, faut pas être susceptible !!! Et pour la fin, toute cette bande de jeunes, qui vivent les uns sur les autres… En voilà un bon moyen de créer des relations fortes, toutes sont des rencontres qu’on est pas près d’oublier. Et là, c’est vraiment dur pour tout ranger, alors voilà… Titi , qui est toujours là, complètement taré. Heureusement, je crois qu’on ne saura jamais qui est le plus fou des deux… Ou plutôt des trois, car il y a aussi Pierro , un esthète du jeu de mot (laid) et tant pis pour ceux qui n’aiment pas Boby. D’ailleurs, dans le groupe des tarés j’oublie aussi Miches-à-ailes , pourtant inoubliable… Et puis, les Roger et Coraline , la Marie de Titi , l’ Aurélie de Pierro et leur petite Margot (tant pis pour le poil-au-menton), la Marine , les Fredo et Valy , et Clairon … qu’est pas là mais qu’est là alors ça va… et puis les Lolo et Véro , les Lôran et Famiglia , les David et Hélène … Merci d’avoir tous été là… -7 Coté Calédonien Fabrice Colin , directeur de l’IRD de Nouméa, où j’ai bénéficié du logement lors de mes retours sur la Grande Terre. Elisabeth Logologofolau et Marie-Noëlle Segurra (IRD de Nouméa) ont été d’une aide extrêmement précieuse pour la gestion administrative de mes passages à l’IRD de Nouméa (logement, conventions d’accueil, ordres de missions, j’en ai probablement oublié…). Mina Vilayleck , chargée de communication à l’IRD de Nouméa, s’est montrée particulièrement intéressée par mon travail. Elle a provoqué et facilité tout un travail de vulgarisation scientifique que je n’aurai, sans aucun doute, pas entrepris sans son soutien. Je tiens à remercier l’ensemble des membres de l’équipe CoRéUs de l’IRD. En particulier, Dominique Ponton , pour son aide précieuse, les discussions sur les poissons, les serpents, le lagon, la thèse, les post-docs, les concours pour la suite. Marc Léopold , pour son intérêt dans mon travail, les bonnes discussions (encore), l’aide précieuse (et oui, encore). Michel Kulbicki , pour notre collaboration, pour la facilité à obtenir tes données sur les poissons anguilliformes, pour les consignes aux gens de CoRéUs (“faut en prendre soin de l’herpétologue”). Les étudiants de l’IRD de Nouméa ont été d’un soutien crucial lorsque j’étais trop longtemps loin des Chizéens. Laure Carassou , pour les bonnes discussions, les poissons anguilliformes et leurs larves leptocéphales, pour les coup de mains quand y’en avait besoin, et les cafés de la pause du matin. Laure et Franck , pour les bonnes soirées, la découverte de la Calédonie (il n’y a pas que des îlots !!!), les bonnes bouffes, là encore, j’en oublie probablement. Guillaume Dirberg , pour les discussions de tout et de rien, les soirées, le coup de pouce pour les loggers, les repas du midi. Anne-Sophie Kerbrat , pour toutes ces soirées (en compagnie de Steven-Cidrolin et Karine ), des relations qui m’ont fait chaud au cœur. Camille Mellin , pour ces quelques discussions, merci de m’avoir permis de t’accompagner lors de ces sorties vers Signal et Larégnère. -6 Pour l’aide indispensable, sans laquelle tout ce travail n’aurait pas eu lieu, je tiens à remercier la Direction des Ressources Naturelles de la Province Sud. Plus particulièrement François Devinck , Manu Couture , Michel Mai , Michel Blanc , Anne-Claire Goaran . Sans eux, il aurait vraiment été difficile de rejoindre les îlots, alors un grand merci à Fred , Pétélo , Christophe , Fabrice , Thierry , Lulu , à l’ Isabelle , l’ Améré et au Kié . Merci beaucoup à Eric Potut , pour les ballades en bateau, quelques barbecues, des pains au chocolat et du café frais… Et puis toujours quelques bonnes discussions pour nous tirer de l’isolement du camping sur les îlots… Merci énormément à Claire Goiran , pour l’aide inestimable dont elle nous a fait bénéficier lorsqu’elle œuvrait à l’aquarium.

This is the first time that the genus Laticauda and subfamily Laticaudinae has been reported from Korean waters. The subfamily Laticaudinae has ventrals that are four to five times wider than the adjacent dorsals, which are unlike the ventrals that are similar or up to two times wider than adjacent dorsals in the subfamily Hydrophiinae. Laticauda semifasciata is distinct from other species because it has three prefrontals and its rostrals are horizontally divided into two. As the result of this report, four species (L. semifasciata, Hydrophis (Pelamis) platurus, Hydrophis cyanocinctus, and H. melanocephalus) of sea snakes have been reported in Korean waters. Keywords: sea snake, Hydrophiinae, Laticaudinae, Chinese sea snake, Laticauda semifasciata INTRODUCTION semifasciata (Reinwardt in Schlegel, 1837) of the genus Laticauda and subfamily Laticaudinae for the first time in Globally, 70 sea snakes (aquatic elapids) of 8 genera in the Korean waters based on the specimens collected in Jeju Is- two subfamilies Hydrophiinae and Laticaudinae have been land in 2015.

  • Fluorescence Emission in a Marine Snake
    Galaxea, Journal of Coral Reef Studies 21: 7-8（2019） Photogallery Fluorescence emission in a marine snake Takashi SEIKO and Yohey TERAI SOKENDAI (The Graduate University for Advanced Studies), Department of Evolutionary Studies of Biosystems, Shonan Village, Hayama, Kanagawa 240-0193, Japan. Corresponding authors: Y. Terai, T. Seiko E­mails: [email protected]; [email protected] Communicated by Frederic Sinniger (Associate Editors­in­Chief) Keywords fluorescence, Laticauda, marine reptile, sea krait Coral reefs are one of the most colorful environments on Earth. Light in coral reefs includes fluorescence as well as reflectance of sunlight. In fluorescence, mole­ cules are excited by illuminating light and emit longer wavelength fluorescence than the excitation light wave­ length. In coral reefs, fluorescent light emission is observed in a range of taxa including cnidarians (e.g. corals), arthropods and fishes (e.g., Johnsen 2012). In marine reptiles, fluorescent emission has reported thus far only from sea turtles (Gruber and Sparks 2015). Here we report fluorescent light emission in a marine snake. Laticauda laticaudata Linnaeus, 1758 is a semi­ aquatic sea krait (Elapidae: Laticaudinae) often ob­ served in coral reefs. We examined a specimen that was freshly frozen after death and subsequently thawed. This speci men was caught at Ogan­zaki, Ishigaki­ island, Oki nawa, Japan (24°27′12.4″N; 124°04′37.4″E) Fig. 1 Photographs of a sea krait (Laticauda laticaudata) illuminated with white light (A) without a filter, and ultraviolet LED light (B) through a blue light cutting filter (<490 nm).

The morphological features of the lateral nostrils, the much wider ventrals than adjacent dorsals, the horizontally undivided rostral, the two prefrontals, and the uniform black bands on the body indicate that the specimen is L. laticaudata. An analysis of the partial mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequence indicated that the specimen fits well into the known L. laticaudata phylogenetic group, which confirms that the sea krait is L. laticaudata. Including this report, five species of sea snakes (L. laticaudata, L. semifasciata, Hydrophis platurus, H. cyanocinctus, and H. melanocephalus) have now been reported in Korean waters. Keywords sea snake, Hydrophiinae, Laticaudinae, blue-banded sea snake, Laticauda laticaudata 1.

SMITH I SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 566 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 Folklife Studies 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 of 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.

E-mail: [email protected] 1 ABSTRACT Burrowing habits or complex environments have been generally considered as potential drivers acting on appendicular skeleton reduction and loss among vertebrates. Herein we suggest that this may be the case for lissamphibians and squamates, but that fin loss in fishes is usually prevented due to important structural constraints, as pectoral fins are commonly used to control rolling and pitching.
