August 2020 August 2020 Dean's Message CPP Science Students August 2020 Dean's Message Welcome to the 2020 Fall Semester at Cal Poly Pomona! At Cal Poly Pomona our vision is to inspire creativity, discovery and innovation. This year our world has changed and we’ve adapted to those changes by using our creativity and innovation to shift to a virtual environment. The majority of fall 2020 classes will be offered online and the university has created a "Safer Return" web page where you can find useful information. Because the safety of our students, staff, and faculty is our highest priority, we are physically distanced. Though we may be physically distant, we remain available to serve our students. The success of our students remains foremost on the minds of our faculty and staff. You will be learning from world-class teacher-scholars, and supported by dedicated staff. For the students joining us this fall, I encourage you to stay connected with the College of Science (CoS) through email, our website and by following us on social media @cpp_science for important updates. You may want to consider joining one of our more than 20 CoS clubs. Also, remember that the Advising Center iso here t help ensure that your path to graduation is a smooth one. Over the next three weeks the university is hosting CPP Fest Plus which is a series of events to help incoming students learn about CPP and connect with other students. I remain, and encourage you to remain, optimistic about the future as we begin the 2020-2021 school year! Alison Baski Watch Student Welcome Video CPP Science Students Help Fight COVID-19 Close to 20 chemistry students, and several biology students from the College of Science are working at Curative Inc., a testing facility that is able to return COVID-19 test results in 24 hours. Read More Kinesiology and Health Promotion is a Department in Motion Kinesiology is the study of the body in motion. The Department of Kinesiology and Health Promotion (KHP) is a department in motion, moving forward on their own strategic plan that is aligned with the College of Science’s plan. Read More Scholarship Honors Alumnus ​Killed in Drive-by Shooting José Flores Velázquez ('18, physics) had a promising future in the field of astrophysics and was on his way to earning a Ph.D. when he was killed in a drive-by shooting on August 14, 2019. José’s family turned this tragedy into an opportunity to help others. They partnered with the Cal-Bridge program to set up the José Flores Velázquez Memorial Cal-Bridge Scholarship Fund. Read More News CPP Fest Plus Events During the first three weeks of the Fall 2020 semester, CPP Fest Plus will host online programs to introduce students to CPP programs and services, connect them with other students, and support their transition to CPP. These events are hosted on myBAR, CPP's engagement portal that hosts the 300+ clubs and organizations on campus and their events, along with official events hosted by CPP departments. Get familiar with myBAR - it's the best way to get involved with student life during your college experience! Jennifer Gavin Elected to OSSC Board of Directors Physics major Jennifer Gavin was elected to the Board of Directors of the Optical Society of Southern California (OSSC). Gavin will hold the position of Councilor on the board through June 2021. It’s a great honor for a student to be elected to the OSSC Board because most board members are established professionals. The OSSC has been a valuable source of internships and jobs for CPP students and alumni. In addition to serving on the OSSC Board, Gavin also serves as President of the CPP Optics and Photonics club. Recent Grad Martin Rios Receives Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowship Martin Rios ('20, biology) was awarded the highly competitive Woodrow Wilson Pennsylvania Teaching Fellowship which recruits recent graduates and career changers with strong backgrounds in STEM fields. Each Fellow receives $32,000 to complete a specially designed, cutting-edge master’s degree program based on a yearlong classroom experience. In return, Fellows commit to teach for three years in high-need Pennsylvania schools. Throughout the three-year commitment as a teacher of record at a public school, Fellows receive ongoing support and mentoring. Professor Robin Wilson Shares His Experience With the Culture of Exclusion Professor of Mathematics Robin Wilson wrote an article titled"A View of Mathematics From Behind the Veil" which was published in Notices of the American Mathematical Society. Wilson writes, "In some ways, it’s as if my experience in mathematics has taken place behind a 'veil,' to borrow a phrase from W. E. B. Du Bois as it was articulated in his 1903 book Souls of Black Folk. For Du Bois, the veil is a reference to the experience of Blacks in America in which there is a world that they can see and are in many ways a part of but cannot access in the same way as their white American counterparts." Computer Science Summer REU Students Present Posters Virtually CPP Summer REU students participated in virtual poster presentations with students from USC, North Carolina State University, Lehigh University, University of Minnesota, and Iowa State University. The CPP REU funded by the NSF focuses on big data analytics, medical data security, privacy preserving techniques, security of machine learning models, and software defined network security. Preventing Earth Microbes From Hitching a Ride to Mars In 2018 Professor Rakesh Mogul and a team that included Associate Professor Gregory Barding and 22 CPP undergrads discovered that microbes could survive in NASA cleanrooms . The microorganisms actually ate the cleaning agents intended to kill them. Mogul recently received a joint CPP & JPL grant from NASA that will allow further research aimed at ensuring that Mars, and Jupiter's moon Europa, aren't contaminated with Earth microorganisms. WATCH VIDEO Assistant Professor Andrea Bonisoli-Alquati is named Elective Member of the American Ornithological Society At the North American Ornithological Conference Andrea Bonisoli-Alquati, from the Department of Biological Sciences, was chosen as an Elective Member of the American Ornithological Society. Elective members are nominated based on their "significant contributions to ornithology and/or service to the American Ornithological Society", and elected by the Society's Fellows. Bonisoli-Alquati's research examines the physiological and genetic effects of environmental contamination.

Field and laboratory experiments both demonstrated that the presence of juvenile crabs of the genus Trapezia in young host Pocillopora corals (2 to 3 cm diameter) increased coral survival by 32% and reduced consumption by the corallivorous seastar Acanthaster planci. These experi- ments also showed that juvenile Trapezia were not effective at deterring predation by another common predatory seastar, Culcita novaeguineae. Finally, our work highlights that the defensive ability of symbiotic crabs may be genus-specific, as juvenile Tetralia spp. crabs, obligate sym- bionts of Acropora spp., displayed no protection against either A. planci or C. novaeguineae.

    We are pleased and honored to welcome at the Paléospace Museum of Villers-sur-Mer the “6th Symposium on Mesozoic and Cenozoic Decapod Crustaceans”. Villers-sur-Mer is a place universally known by specialists and amateurs of palaeontology due to its famous Vaches Noires cliffs. Villers-sur-Mer has also the distinction of being the only French seaside resort located on the Greenwich Meridian line. The Paléospace is a Museum funded in 2011 with the label Musée de France. Three main animations linked to the Time are presented: palaeontology, astronomy and nature with the neighbouring marsh. The museum is in a constant evolution. For instance, an exhibition specially dedicated to dinosaurs was opened two years ago and a planetarium will open next summer. Every year a very high quality temporary exhibition takes place during the summer period with very numerous animations during all the year. The Paléospace does not stop progressing in term of visitors (56 868 in 2015) and its notoriety is universally recognized both by the other museums as by the scientific community. We are very proud of these unexpected results. We thank the dynamism and the professionalism of the Paléospace team which is at the origin of this very great success. We wish you a very good stay at Villers-sur-Mer, a beautiful visit of the Paléospace and especially an excellent congress. Jean-Paul Durand, Mayor and President of Paléospace MOT DU MAIRE DE VILLERS-SUR-MER Nous sommes très heureux et très honorés d’accueillir à Villers-sur-Mer, le « 6e Symposium on Mesozoic and Cenozoic Decapod Crustaceans » dans le cadre du Paléospace.

Over 10,500 names are treated including 6,793 valid species and subspecies (with 1,907 primary synonyms), 1,271 genera and subgenera (with 393 primary synonyms), 93 families and 38 superfamilies. Nomenclatural and taxonomic problems are reviewed in detail, and many resolved. Detailed notes and references are provided where necessary. The constitution of a large number of families and superfamilies is discussed in detail, with the positions of some taxa rearranged in an attempt to form a stable base for future taxonomic studies. This is the first time the nomenclature of any large group of decapod crustaceans has been examined in such detail.

INTRODUCTION Close heterospecific associations are ubiquitous in most if not all biotic communi- ties. These associations vary widely in character, and can include a wide range of mor- phological, ecological, physiological, and/or behavioural adaptations, at times the result of coevolution between the partners. Brachyuran crabs are common participants in such asso- ciations, e.g., as hosts for internal or external parasites (see Chapter 71-12 in this volume), in associations with other organisms for concealment (see Chapter 71-11 in this volume), and as close associates living on or within an invertebrate host (the symbiotic associations discussed in this chapter). The variety and range of complexity among these symbioses is remarkable and difficult to categorize. Brachyuran associates are often referred to as “commensals”, “parasites”, “mutualists”, or, as herein, simply as “symbionts”. The groups of symbiotic brachyurans discussed in this chapter are listed alphabetically by superfamilies, which follow the classification in Chapter 71-18 in this volume.
