  • Anchialine Cave Biology in the Era of Speleogenomics Jorge L

Pérez-Moreno1*, Thomas M. Iliffe2, and Heather D. Bracken-Grissom1 1Department of Biological Sciences, Florida International University, Biscayne Bay Campus, North Miami FL 33181, USA 2Department of Marine Biology, Texas A&M University at Galveston, Galveston, TX 77553, USA Abstract: Anchialine caves contain haline bodies of water with underground connections to the ocean and limited exposure to open air. Despite being found on islands and peninsular coastlines around the world, the isolation of anchialine systems has facilitated the evolution of high levels of endemism among their inhabitants. The unique characteristics of anchialine caves and of their predominantly crustacean biodiversity nominate them as particularly interesting study subjects for evolutionary biology. However, there is presently a distinct scarcity of modern molecular methods being employed in the study of anchialine cave ecosystems. The use of current and emerging molecular techniques, e.g., next-generation sequencing (NGS), bestows an exceptional opportunity to answer a variety of long-standing questions pertaining to the realms of speciation, biogeography, population genetics, and evolution, as well as the emergence of extraordinary morphological and physiological adaptations to these unique environments. The integration of NGS methodologies with traditional taxonomic and ecological methods will help elucidate the unique characteristics and evolutionary history of anchialine cave fauna, and thus the significance of their conservation in face of current and future anthropogenic threats.

LXXX 1948 LONDON: PUBLISHED BY THE INSTITUTE, 12, QUEEN ANNE'S GATE, WESTMINSTER, S.W.1 Al L RIGHTS RESERVE'D (This paper was not read before the Institute, but was circulated in proof form). THE EARLIEST KNOWN ANIMALS. BY DOUGLAS DEWAR, B.A., F.Z.S. HE most striking feature of the geological record is the T abundance of fossils in the rocks laid down during the Cambrian and all later periods and the complete lack of indubitable fossils in all the earlier rocks-all those laid down in the pre-Cambrian period. Yet in many places these pre­ Cambrian rocks seem to be well-fitted to hold and preserve fossils. Examples of such are the Torridon Sandstones of Scotland, 8,000 feet thick, the Green Shales of Brittany, 17,000 feet thick, the Huronian Series of Canada, 18,000 feet thick, the Tindir Group in Alaska, 20,000 feet thick, the Belt Series of North America, 40,000 feet thick, and the Cuddapah Series of India, 20,000 feet thick. This sudden appearance of fossils in great variety and of high specialisation presented no difficulties to the older geologists, who regarded this as proof of a great creation at the beginning of the Cambrian period. But to the geologists who were induced by Darwin to accept the evolution theory this sudden advent in the rocks of a vast array of fossils presented a most formidable difficulty, because, in the words of Darwin (Origin of Species, 6th edn.

  • Relationships Within Eumalacostracan Crustacea Frederick R
    •J'' • TRANSACTIONS OF THE SAN DIEGO SOCIETY OF NATURAL HISTORY CRUSTACEA LIBRARY SMITHSONIAN INST« RETURN TO VT-119 Volume 20 Number 16 pp. 301-312 20 November 1984 Relationships within Eumalacostracan Crustacea Frederick R. Schram San Diego Natural History Museum, P.O. Box 1390, San Diego, CA 92112 USA Abstract. A cladistic analysis was performed on 20 constituent higher taxa within the Eumala- costraca based on 31 characters of external anatomy. Variants of the most parsimonious scheme are presented, and the effects of tolerating different levels of uncertainty are evaluated. It is concluded that: 1) while the basic outline of Caiman's (1904) taxonomy of Eumalacostraca might be utilized, the arrangement within peracarids postulated by Siewing (1956) cannot be maintained; 2) the Bauplane approach of Schram (1981) has some merit and some of the controversial higher taxonomic groupings of eumalacostracan "orders" originally indicated by that method are vindicated; 3) the idea that the carapace is a derived feature within eumalacostracans, advanced by Dahl (1983), can be maintained only if a high level of homoplasy is tolerated; 4) the concept of a taxon Mysidacea seems best abandoned. INTRODUCTION The basic modern classification of eumalacostracan crustaceans was outlined by Caiman (1904, 1909) with little reference at that time to what the details of phyletic relationships between and within groups might have been. However, it was Siewing (1951, 1956) who presented a phylogenetic tree for eumalacostracans widely subscribed to by subsequent authorities (e.g., Fryer 1964, Hessler 1969). Recently, however, the Calman/Siewing scheme for Eumalacostraca sensu stricto has been questioned. Schram (1981) recognized basic structural plans within the Eu- malacostraca, but the methodology he employed was limited by the number of char- acters that could be handled essentially by pencil and paper.

  • An Exceptionally Preserved Arthropod Cardiovascular System from the Early Cambrian
    ARTICLE Received 20 Dec 2013 | Accepted 4 Mar 2014 | Published 7 Apr 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms4560 An exceptionally preserved arthropod cardiovascular system from the early Cambrian Xiaoya Ma1,2, Peiyun Cong1, Xianguang Hou1, Gregory D. Edgecombe2 & Nicholas J. Strausfeld3 The assumption that amongst internal organs of early arthropods only the digestive system withstands fossilization is challenged by the identification of brain and ganglia in early Cambrian fuxianhuiids and megacheirans from southwest China. Here we document in the 520-million-year-old Chengjiang arthropod Fuxianhuia protensa an exceptionally preserved bilaterally symmetrical organ system corresponding to the vascular system of extant arthropods. Preserved primarily as carbon, this system includes a broad dorsal vessel extending through the thorax to the brain where anastomosing branches overlap brain seg- ments and supply the eyes and antennae. The dorsal vessel provides segmentally paired branches to lateral vessels, an arthropod ground pattern character, and extends into the anterior part of the abdomen. The addition of its vascular system to documented digestive and nervous systems resolves the internal organization of F. protensa as the most completely understood of any Cambrian arthropod, emphasizing complexity that had evolved by the early Cambrian. 1 Yunnan Key Laboratory for Palaeobiology, Yunnan University, Kunming 650091, China. 2 Department of Earth Sciences, The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, UK. 3 Department of Neuroscience and Center for Insect Science, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona 85721, USA.

ILIFFE SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 568 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.

  • Functional Diversity of Marine Ecosystems After the Late Permian Mass

Foster1*, Richard J. Twitchett1 5 6 Affiliations: 1Plymouth University, School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences, 7 Drake Circus, Plymouth, Devon. PL4 8AA. United Kingdom. 8 9 Keywords: mass extinction; ecospace; reefs; marine invertebrates; Permian; Triassic 10 11 Introductory paragraph: The Late Permian mass extinction event was the most severe such 12 crisis of the past 500 million years and occurred during an episode of global warming. It is 13 assumed to have had significant ecological impact, but its effects on marine ecosystem 14 functioning are unknown and the patterns of marine recovery are debated. We analysed the fossil 15 occurrences of all known Permian-Triassic benthic marine genera and assigned each to a 16 functional group based on their inferred life habit. We show that despite the selective extinction 17 of 62-74% of marine genera there was no significant loss of functional diversity at the global 18 scale, and only one novel mode of life originated in the extinction aftermath. Early Triassic 19 marine ecosystems were not as ecologically depauperate as widely assumed, which explains the 20 absence of a Cambrian-style Triassic radiation in higher taxa. Functional diversity was, however, 21 significantly reduced in particular regions and habitats, such as tropical reefs, and at these scales 22 recovery varied spatially and temporally, probably driven by migration of surviving groups.

  • Fossils from South China Redefine the Ancestral Euarthropod Body Plan Cédric Aria1 , Fangchen Zhao1, Han Zeng1, Jin Guo2 and Maoyan Zhu1,3*
    Aria et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology (2020) 20:4 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12862-019-1560-7 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Fossils from South China redefine the ancestral euarthropod body plan Cédric Aria1 , Fangchen Zhao1, Han Zeng1, Jin Guo2 and Maoyan Zhu1,3* Abstract Background: Early Cambrian Lagerstätten from China have greatly enriched our perspective on the early evolution of animals, particularly arthropods. However, recent studies have shown that many of these early fossil arthropods were more derived than previously thought, casting uncertainty on the ancestral euarthropod body plan. In addition, evidence from fossilized neural tissues conflicts with external morphology, in particular regarding the homology of the frontalmost appendage. Results: Here we redescribe the multisegmented megacheirans Fortiforceps and Jianfengia and describe Sklerolibyon maomima gen. et sp. nov., which we place in Jianfengiidae, fam. nov. (in Megacheira, emended). We find that jianfengiids show high morphological diversity among megacheirans, both in trunk ornamentation and head anatomy, which encompasses from 2 to 4 post-frontal appendage pairs. These taxa are also characterized by elongate podomeres likely forming seven-segmented endopods, which were misinterpreted in their original descriptions. Plesiomorphic traits also clarify their connection with more ancestral taxa. The structure and position of the “great appendages” relative to likely sensory antero-medial protrusions, as well as the presence of optic peduncles and sclerites, point to an overall

  • Crustacea : Decapoda : Erymidae) Dans Le Jurassique
    Première occurrence d’Enoploclytia M’Coy, 1849 (Crustacea : Decapoda : Erymidae) dans le Jurassique First occurence of Enoploclytia M’Coy, 1849 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Erymidae) in the Jurassic Julien Devillez Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris Centre de Recherche sur la Paléobiodiversité et les Paléoenvironnements (CR2P, UMR 7207), Sorbonne Universités, MNHN, UPMC, CNRS, 57 rue Cuvier F-75005 Paris (France) [email protected] Sylvain Charbonnier Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris Centre de Recherche sur la Paléobiodiversité et les Paléoenvironnements (CR2P, UMR 7207), Sorbonne Universités, MNHN, UPMC, CNRS, 57 rue Cuvier F-75005 Paris (France) [email protected] Jean-Philippe Pezy Normandie Univ, UNICAEN, CNRS, M2C, 14000 CAEN, France [email protected] RÉSUMÉ Parmi les Erymidae Van Straelen, 1925, connus dès le Permien supérieur (Changhsingien) et répandus au Jurassique, le genre Enoploclytia M’Coy, 1849 passe pour être apparu tardivement en raison de son absence avant le Crétacé. Jusqu’à présent, le plus ancien représentant était E. augustobonae Devillez, Charbonnier, Hyžný & Leroy, 2016 du Crétacé inférieur (Barrémien) de l’est du bassin de Paris (France). Cependant, un nouveau fossile récolté en Normandie (France), présentant une architecture des sillons de la carapace typique d’Enoploclytia, atteste de la présence du genre dès le Jurassique supérieur (Oxfordien). MOTS CLÉS Crustacé, Erymidae, France, homard, Jurassique, Mésozoïque, Normandie. ABSTRACT Among the Erymidae Van Straelen, 1925, known as early as the Late Permian (Changhsingian) and widespread in the Jurassic, the genus Enoploclytia M’Coy, 1849 seems to have a late appearance because of its lack before the Cretaceous. Until now, the oldest representative was E.
