Salcombe Bioblitz 2015 Final Report.Pdf
FINAL REPORT 1 | P a g e Salcombe Bioblitz 2015 – Final Report Salcombe Bioblitz 2015 This year’s Bioblitz was held in North Sands, Salcombe (Figure 1). Surveying took place from 11am on Sunday the 27th September until 2pm on Monday the 28th September 2015. Over the course of the 24+ hours of the event, 11 timetabled, public-participation activities took place, including scientific surveys and guided walks. More than 250 people attended, including 75 local school children, and over 150 volunteer experts and enthusiasts, families and members of the public. A total of 1109 species were recorded. Introduction A Bioblitz is a multidisciplinary survey of biodiversity in a set place at a set time. The main aim of the event is to make a snapshot of species present in an area and ultimately, to raise public awareness of biodiversity, science and conservation. The event was the seventh marine/coastal Bioblitz to be organised by the Marine Biological Association (MBA). This year the MBA led in partnership with South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and Ambios Ltd, with both organisations contributing vital funding and support for the project overall. Ambios Ltd were able to provide support via the LEMUR+ wildlife.technology.skills project and the Heritage Lottery Fund. Support also came via donations from multiple organisations. Xamax Clothing Ltd provided the iconic event t-shirts free of cost; Salcombe Harbour Hotel and Spa and Monty Hall’s Great Escapes donated gifts for use as competition prizes; The Winking Prawn Café and Higher Rew Caravan and Camping Park offered discounts to Bioblitz staff and volunteers for the duration of the event; Morrisons Kingsbridge donated a voucher that was put towards catering; Budget Car Hire provided use of a van to transport equipment to and from the event free of cost; and donations were received from kind individuals.

The Status of Sabellaria Spinulosa Reef Off the Moray Firth and Aberdeenshire Coasts and Guidance for Conservation of the Species Off the Scottish East Coast
The Status of Sabellaria spinulosa Reef off the Moray Firth and Aberdeenshire Coasts and Guidance for Conservation of the Species off the Scottish East Coast Research Summary Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 11 No 17 The Status of Sabellaria spinulosa Reef off the Moray Firth and Aberdeenshire Coasts and Guidance for Conservation of the Species off the Scottish East Coast B Pearce and J Kimber Introduction and Methodology Sabellaria spinulosa is a gregarious tube dwelling marine polychaete that is known to form extensive reef habitats across Europe. The reef habitats formed by S. spinulosa represent an important habitat for a variety of marine fauna and are thought to provide ecosystem services including the provision of feeding and nursery grounds for some fish species. S. spinulosa reefs have been identified as a priority for protection under the OSPAR Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North East Atlantic and Annex I of the Habitats Directive, in part due to the recognised decline in this habitat across Europe. Until recently, there was little evidence that this habitat occurred in Scottish waters. However, S. spinulosa aggregations with reef-like properties were observed repeatedly between 2011 and 2017 in seabed imagery collected through a variety of sources from the east coast of Scotland. The Scottish Government commissioned this research to assess the conservation status of the newly discovered S. spinulosa habitats and to develop guidance for the future management of this habitat on the east coast of Scotland. Video footage and still images collected from four surveys and ROV clips collected from a fifth, undertaken between 2011 and 2017 (Figure 1) were analysed comprehensively in accordance with established National Marine Biological Analytical Quality Control (NMBAQC) methodologies.

Examining Patterns of Genetic Variation in Canadian Marine Molluscs Through DNA Barcodes
Examining patterns of genetic variation in Canadian marine molluscs through DNA barcodes by Kara Layton A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Integrative Biology Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Kara Layton, January, 2012 ABSTRACT Examining patterns of genetic variation in Canadian marine molluscs through DNA barcodes Kara Layton Advisor: University of Guelph, 2013 Professor P.D.N Hebert In this thesis I investigate patterns of sequence variation at the COI gene in Canadian marine molluscs. The research presented begins the construction of a DNA barcode reference library for this phylum, presenting records for nearly 25% of the Canadian fauna. This work confirms that the COI gene region is an effective tool for delineating species of marine molluscs and for revealing overlooked species. This study also discovered a link between GC content and sequence divergence between congeneric species. I also provide a detailed analysis of population structure in two bivalves with similar larval development and dispersal potential, exploring how Canada’s extensive glacial history has shaped genetic structure. Both bivalve species show evidence for cryptic taxa and particularly high genetic diversity in populations from the northeast Pacific. These results have implications for the utility of DNA barcoding both for documenting biodiversity and broadening our understanding of biogeographic patterns in Holarctic species. Acknowledgements Firstly, I would like to thank my advisor Dr. Paul Hebert for providing endless guidance and support during my program and for greatly improving my research. You always encouraged my participation in field collections and conferences, allowing many opportunities to connect with colleagues and present my research to the scientific community.

ALTHOUGH the Galatheidea are conspicuous members of the Anomura and occur commonly both on the shore and in deeper water, no account has yet been given of the different methods of feeding which are found within the group. While working at the Marine Biological Laboratory at Plymouth some time ago I became interested, as previous workers have been, in the curiously modified third maxillipeds of Porcellana longicornis, and decided to examine the mode of feeding in this and related forms. My best thanks are due to Dr. E. J. Allen, F.R.S., of the Marine -Biological Association, and to Professor J. H. Orton, of Liverpool University, for every help and encouragement, and also to Professor J- H. Ash worth, F.R.S., of Edinburgh University, for valuable criticism °f the manuscript. 88 EDITH A. T. NICOL. PREVIOUS WORK. Dalyell (1853) describes Porcellana longicornis as the " fanning or ventilating crab," and mentions the alternating see-sawing action of the third maxillipeds fringed with long hairs ; he associates the movements however with respiration. Gosse (1854) points out the use of the maxilli peds in feeding, comparing them with the legs of a barnacle.

Seasonality of Planktonic Crustacean Decapod Larvae in the Subtropical Waters of Gran Canaria Island, NE Atlantic

ORCID ID: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-1028-4356 Summary: A monitoring programme was established to collect plankton samples and information of environmental vari- ables over the shelf off the island of Gran Canaria during 2005 and 2006. It produced a detailed snapshot of the composi- tion and seasonal assemblages of the decapod larvae community in this locality, in the subtropical waters of the Canary Islands (NE Atlantic), where information about crustacean phenology has been poorly studied. The larval community was mainly composed of benthic taxa, but the contribution of pelagic taxa was also significant. Infraorders Anomura (33.4%) and Caridea (32.8%) accounted for more than half the total collected larvae. High diversity, relatively low larval abundance throughout the year and weak seasonality characterized the annual cycle. However, in relation to the temporal dynamics of temperature, two distinct larval assemblages (cold and warm) were identified that correspond to periods of mixing and strati- fication of the water column.
