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.

Seasonal Variation in Community Structure and Recruitment of Benthic Decapods in a Sub-Tidal Cobble Habitat
MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 206: 181–191, 2000 Published November 3 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Seasonal variation in community structure and recruitment of benthic decapods in a sub-tidal cobble habitat Martin Robinson*, Oliver Tully Department of Zoology, Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland ABSTRACT: Quantitative suction samples of benthic decapod fauna were taken in the south of Ireland during 1997. Some species settled into the area, but failed to persist to the first winter, while others were present in high numbers throughout the year. The duration of settlement was species- specific, ranging from several weeks to several months. Body size at settlement decreased with increasing temperature during larval development. Growth potential and early mortality of a number of decapod species was examined by separation of successive moult instars from length-frequency distributions. Seasonal lows in abundance and biomass of young of the year and for previously estab- lished decapod individuals were identified at the end of July and early August, which may represent the most suitable time to release juveniles for stock-enhancement purposes. Community structure differed between settlement season and over-wintering periods. Young-of-the-year community structure differed from that of previously established individuals, with higher abundance and num- ber of species recorded for the former. The data represent a baseline study of a widely distributed community and may support further work on species interactions, improving the accuracy of predic- tion of annual recruitment fluctuations.

1 CATALOGUE OF PROTOZOAN PARASITES RECORDED IN AUSTRALIA PETER J. O’DONOGHUE & ROBERT D. ADLARD O’Donoghue, P.J. & Adlard, R.D. 2000 02 29: Catalogue of protozoan parasites recorded in Australia. Memoirs of the Queensland Museum 45(1):1-164. Brisbane. ISSN 0079-8835. Published reports of protozoan species from Australian animals have been compiled into a host- parasite checklist, a parasite-host checklist and a cross-referenced bibliography. Protozoa listed include parasites, commensals and symbionts but free-living species have been excluded. Over 590 protozoan species are listed including amoebae, flagellates, ciliates and ‘sporozoa’ (the latter comprising apicomplexans, microsporans, myxozoans, haplosporidians and paramyxeans). Organisms are recorded in association with some 520 hosts including mammals, marsupials, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrates. Information has been abstracted from over 1,270 scientific publications predating 1999 and all records include taxonomic authorities, synonyms, common names, sites of infection within hosts and geographic locations.

Colonization Patterns of Decapods Into Artificial Collectors: Seasonality Between Habitat Patches
JOURNAL OF CRUSTACEAN BIOLOGY, 34(4), 431-441, 2014 COLONIZATION PATTERNS OF DECAPODS INTO ARTIFICIAL COLLECTORS: SEASONALITY BETWEEN HABITAT PATCHES Sara García-Sanz 1,∗, Pablo G. Navarro 2, José M. Landeira 3, and Fernando Tuya 1 1 BIOGES – Department of Biology, Marine Sciences Faculty, Campus Tafira, Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 35017, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain 2 Viceconsejería de Medioambiente, Gobierno de Canarias, C/Agustín Millares Carló No18, 5°, 35071, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain 3 Department of Animal Biology (Marine Science), University of La Laguna, Avenida Astrofísico Francisco Sánchez s/n, 38206, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain ABSTRACT Understanding colonization of new habitats by recruits is essential to comprehend local abundance patterns of adult populations. Colonization of benthic habitats by new colonizers is achieved through the influx of larvae from the water column and movements from adjacent habitats. Colonization, i.e., the composition and abundance of new colonizers, into a focal habitat may be affected by surrounding habitats. In this study, we investigated seasonal variation through an annual cycle in postlarval settlement patterns of decapod crustaceans colonizing artificial collectors on different habitats, in particular: Cymodocea nodosa seagrass meadows, sandy patches, ‘urchin-grazed’ barrens and macroalgal-dominated beds, which are arranged in patches within seascapes in the eastern Atlantic. Our results showed that: 1) decapods, at least some species, settle preferentially on artificial collectors deployed on vegetated substrates when compared to those deployed on unvegetated substrates; 2) despite most decapods have a planktonic larval phase with wide oceanic dispersal, the presence of crustaceans in particular habitats suggests a great specificity at their early post-larval stages; and 3) although subtropical waters of Gran Canaria have a weak seasonal variation, early postlarval stages of decapod crustaceans showed two distinct settlement periods, i.e., a ‘cold’ and a ‘warm’ season. -

Larval Growth
LARVAL GROWTH Edited by ADRIAN M.WENNER University of California, Santa Barbara OFFPRINT A.A.BALKEMA/ROTTERDAM/BOSTON DARRYL L.FELDER* / JOEL W.MARTIN** / JOSEPH W.GOY* * Department of Biology, University of Louisiana, Lafayette, USA ** Department of Biological Science, Florida State University, Tallahassee, USA PATTERNS IN EARLY POSTLARVAL DEVELOPMENT OF DECAPODS ABSTRACT Early postlarval stages may differ from larval and adult phases of the life cycle in such characteristics as body size, morphology, molting frequency, growth rate, nutrient require ments, behavior, and habitat. Primarily by way of recent studies, information on these quaUties in early postlarvae has begun to accrue, information which has not been previously summarized. The change in form (metamorphosis) that occurs between larval and postlarval life is pronounced in some decapod groups but subtle in others. However, in almost all the Deca- poda, some ontogenetic changes in locomotion, feeding, and habitat coincide with meta morphosis and early postlarval growth. The postmetamorphic (first postlarval) stage, here in termed the decapodid, is often a particularly modified transitional stage; terms such as glaucothoe, puerulus, and megalopa have been applied to it. The postlarval stages that fol low the decapodid successively approach more closely the adult form. Morphogenesis of skeletal and other superficial features is particularly apparent at each molt, but histogenesis and organogenesis in early postlarvae is appreciable within intermolt periods. Except for the development of primary and secondary sexual organs, postmetamorphic change in internal anatomy is most pronounced in the first several postlarval instars, with the degree of anatomical reorganization and development decreasing in each of the later juvenile molts.
