One important foundation for the conservation of biodiversity on islands is an inventory of endemic species. In the absence of a comprehensive inventory, conservation effort often defaults to a focus on the better-known and more conspicuous species (typically mammals and birds). Although this component of island biota often needs such conservation attention, such focus may mean that less conspicuous endemic species (especially invertebrates) are neglected and suffer high rates of loss. In this paper, we review the available literature and online resources to compile a list of endemic species that is as comprehensive as possible for the 137 km2 oceanic Christmas Island, an Australian territory in the north-eastern Indian Ocean. -
Molecular Phylogeny of the Bivalve Superfamily Galeommatoidea
Goto et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology 2012, 12:172 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/12/172 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Molecular phylogeny of the bivalve superfamily Galeommatoidea (Heterodonta, Veneroida) reveals dynamic evolution of symbiotic lifestyle and interphylum host switching Ryutaro Goto1,2*, Atsushi Kawakita3, Hiroshi Ishikawa4, Yoichi Hamamura5 and Makoto Kato1 Abstract Background: Galeommatoidea is a superfamily of bivalves that exhibits remarkably diverse lifestyles. Many members of this group live attached to the body surface or inside the burrows of other marine invertebrates, including crustaceans, holothurians, echinoids, cnidarians, sipunculans and echiurans. These symbiotic species exhibit high host specificity, commensal interactions with hosts, and extreme morphological and behavioral adaptations to symbiotic life. Host specialization to various animal groups has likely played an important role in the evolution and diversification of this bivalve group. However, the evolutionary pathway that led to their ecological diversity is not well understood, in part because of their reduced and/or highly modified morphologies that have confounded traditional taxonomy. This study elucidates the taxonomy of the Galeommatoidea and their evolutionary history of symbiotic lifestyle based on a molecular phylogenic analysis of 33 galeommatoidean and five putative galeommatoidean species belonging to 27 genera and three families using two nuclear ribosomal genes (18S and 28S ribosomal DNA) and a nuclear (histone H3) and mitochondrial (cytochrome oxidase subunit I) protein-coding genes. Results: Molecular phylogeny recovered six well-supported major clades within Galeommatoidea. Symbiotic species were found in all major clades, whereas free-living species were grouped into two major clades. Species symbiotic with crustaceans, holothurians, sipunculans, and echiurans were each found in multiple major clades, suggesting that host specialization to these animal groups occurred repeatedly in Galeommatoidea. -

FIRST RECORD OF A PONTONIINE SHRIMP (CARIDEA, PALAEMONIDAE) IN ASSOCIATION WITH A BORING BIVALVE OF THE GENUS SPENGLERIA (BIVALVIA, EUHETERODONTA, GASTROCHAENIDAE) BY CHARLES H. J. M. FRANSEN 1) and SANCIA E. T. VAN DER MEIJ 2) Department of Marine Zoology, Netherlands Centre for Biodiversity Naturalis, P.O. Box 9517, NL-2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands ABSTRACT During fieldwork in Raja Ampat, West Papua, Indonesia, in 2007, a pontoniine shrimp, most likely belonging to the genus Anchistus, was collected from a coral boring bivalve of the genus Spengleria. This is the first record of a pontoniine shrimp living in association with a boring bivalve. As it probably concerns a juvenile shrimp, its identity remains unclear. Its affinities with the Indo- West Pacific mollusc-associated genera and with congenerics are discussed. RÉSUMÉ Au cours d’un travail de terrain dans le Raja Ampat, Papouasie occidentale, Indonésie, en 2007, une crevette Pontoniinae, probablement appartenant au genre Anchistus, a été collectée dans un bivalve creusant le corail du genre Spengleria. C’est le premier enregistrement d’une crevette Pontoniinae vivant en association avec un bivalve perforant. Comme il s’agit probablement d’une crevette juvénile, son identité reste incertaine. Ses affinités avec les genres de l’Indo-Ouest Pacifique associés aux mollusques, et avec les congénères sont discutées.

Zoological Studies 38(3): 268-274. Five species of brachyuran crabs in 2 families (Eumedonidae and Portunidae) are reported as symbiotic with echinoderms in Taiwan. Echinoecus pentagonus is associated with sea urchins (Echinoidea), while Harrovia albolineata, Permanotus purpureus, and Tiaramedon spinosum are reported from featherstars (Crinoidea). All four are eumedonids. One portunid, Lissocarcinus orbicularis, is reported from sea cucumbers (Holothuroidea). Of these, 4 species, Echinoecus pentagonus, Harrovia albolineata, Permanotus purpureus, and Lissocarcinus or- bicularis are new records for the island.

Periclimenes Paivai on the Scyphozoan Jellyfsh Lychnorhiza Lucerna: Probing for Territoriality and Inferring Its Mating System J
Baeza et al. Helgol Mar Res (2017) 71:17 DOI 10.1186/s10152-017-0497-8 Helgoland Marine Research ORIGINAL ARTICLE Open Access Host‑use pattern of the shrimp Periclimenes paivai on the scyphozoan jellyfsh Lychnorhiza lucerna: probing for territoriality and inferring its mating system J. Antonio Baeza1,2,3*, Samara de Paiva Barros‑Alves4,5, Rudá Amorim Lucena6, Silvio Felipe Barbosa Lima7,8 and Douglas Fernandes Rodrigues Alves4,5 Abstract In symbiotic crustaceans, host-use patterns vary broadly. Some species inhabit host individuals solitarily, other spe‑ cies live in heterosexual pairs, and even other species live in aggregations. This disparity in host-use patterns coupled with considerable diferences in host ecology provide opportunities to explore how environmental conditions afect animal behavior. In this study, we explored whether or not symbiotic crustaceans inhabiting relatively large and structurally complex host species live in aggregations. We expected Periclimenes paivai, a small caridean shrimp that lives among the tentacles of the large and morphologically complex scyphozoan jellyfsh Lychnorhiza lucerna, to live in groups given that the host traits above constraint host-monopolization behaviors by symbiotic crustaceans. We described the population distribution of P. paivai during a bloom of L. lucerna near the mouth of the Paraíba River estuary in Paraíba, Brazil. The population distribution of P. paivai did not difer statistically from a random Poisson dis‑ tribution. Male shrimps were most often found dwelling on the surface of L. lucerna individuals as small groups (2–4 individuals), in agreement with expectations. Periclimenes paivai is a sexually dimorphic species with males attaining smaller average body sizes than females and exhibiting no elaborated weaponry (claws).
