Long species monographs seem to be a thing of the past, probably because few researchers have the luxury or dedication to be able to focus long-term research efforts exclusively on one species or a group of species. This up-to-date monograph on Neohelice granulata proves the great value that such monographs still have in current times. While in the past, species or taxon-focused monographs were typically written by single researchers who had spent their entire career investigating their favourite organisms, this monograph on N. granulata is a group effort gathering a total of 77 authors, primarily from Argentina. This is a gigantic achievement for the editors, who were able to shepherd such a diverse group of authors for this monograph with a total of 33 chapters. This monograph is published in two volumes, but it is a unit work, indivisible in its conception, realization and integration, evidenced by its numerous cross-references between chapters and volumes. The result of this effort provides an overview about one of the best- studied crustacean species of the past few decades. From reading some of the chapters, it becomes evident that this is not only a collection of chapters about N. granulata, but these volumes are also testimony to the long-term research commitment of the Argentinian crustacean community. Collectively, they have worked over decades to investigate all aspects of the biology and life history of this intertidal crab. These volumes demonstrate the community effort put into every single chapter and becoming evident on almost any single page. At least two authors write most of the chapters, and many by more than two authors, furthermore underscoring this collaborative effort. The editors and their fellow authors are to be congratulated for pulling off this group achievement! Each volume is divided into two sections, each with a brief introductory preface by one of the eminent scholars in the field. In the first section on life history and developmental biology, the eight chapters explore the early life of N. granulata, from embryonic development to larval life. The authors focus on the pelagic stages, settlement biology, and life cycles. In the section on ecology and ecosystem role of the crab, the eight chapters examine N. granulata’s predators, forms of food acquisition and the complexity of its mating system as well as their effects on habitat structure and species interactions. The eight chapters in the section on neurobiology cover topics ranging from sensory systems to neural X Foreword integration including memory and learning. Finally, in the section on anatomy and physiology, the authors present information on the reproductive system, investment in growth and reproduction, general metabolic strategies and respiration of this fascinating crab living at the interface between air and water. The individual chapters are all relatively concise, and they are richly illustrated, making the reading a pleasant experience. All chapters are written in clear language, making them accessible to readers from related disciplines or people interested in the general biology and ecology of crustaceans. This work presents N. granulata as an ideal model species for future studies on climate change, pollution, habitat degradation, or species

Chasmagnathus convexus has been designated as a marine protected species and endangered species by the Wildlife Protection and Management Act (2005) of Korea due to its declining population in the wild. This declining population is a result of habitat loss and environmental change. This study is the first to research the mitochondrial cytochromec oxidase subunit I (COI) in Korean C. convexus. The maximum intra-specific genetic variation among all C. convexus individuals was 1.8%, while the inter-genetic variation among the five varunid species was in the range of 16.0-23.7%. The COI barcodes will be used as a reference for restoration and conservation studies of Korean C. convexus.

    Occurrence of Shell Disease and Carapace Abnormalities on Natural

    JMBA2 - Biodiversity Records Published on-line Occurrence of shell disease and carapace abnormalities on natural population of Neohelice granulata (Crustacea: Varunidae) from a tropical mangrove forest, Brazil Rafael Augusto Gregati* and Maria Lucia Negreiros Fransozo NEBECC (Group of Studies on Crustacean Biology, Ecology and Culture), Departamento de Zoologia, Instituto de Biociências, Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP) 18618-000, Botucatu, SP, Brazil. *Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] In this note, we registered the occurrence of shell diseases and carapace abnormalities on a natural population of Neohelice granulata from a tropical mangrove forest, in South America, as a part of a wide ecological study. The occurrence of 32 adult crabs (1.77%) with black or brown spotted shell, or deformities on carapace was registered, collected in the autumn and winter seasons. The low prevalence of shell diseases and abnormalities in this natural population is considered normal and probably caused by injuries occurred during the moult period of crabs. Keywords: Neohelice granulata, shell disease, carapace abnormalities Introduction Shell diseases and external abnormalities or deformities are just one of the common problems affecting freshwater and marine crustaceans. These diseases have been reported in many natural crustacean populations, principally in many species of economic importance such as the Alaskan king crab, portunid crabs, shrimps and lobsters (Maloy, 1978; Sindermann, 1989; Noga et al., 2000). The shell diseases are characterized by various types of erosive lesions on the carapace (Johnson, 1983; Sindermann & Lightner, 1988) and the classical and most common kind of shell disease is know as ‘brown spot’ or ‘black spot’, which consists of various-sized foci of hyperpigmentation (Rosen, 1970; Noga et al., 2000).

Sampling was performed seasonally and crabs were captured by hand by three persons during one hour, fixed in formaldehyde (4%) during 24 h, transferred to alcohol (70%). Each foregut was weighed and repletion level was determined. Differences between sexes in the frequencies of occurrence of items were tested by χ2test. A total of 452 guts were analyzed. Quali-quantitative analyses were calculated following the method of relative frequency occurrence and relative frequency of the points. At both sites, for both sexes and in all seasons, the main food items were sediment, Spartina sp. and plant detritus. The highest values of mean repletion index were estimated for the spring and summer. Analysing both salt marshes, in different seasons significant shifts in the natural diet of Neohelice granulata was not observed throughout the period of study.

    Growth, Tolerance to Low Salinity, and Osmoregulation in Decapod Crustacean Larvae

    Vol. 12: 249–260, 2011 AQUATIC BIOLOGY Published online June 1 doi: 10.3354/ab00341 Aquat Biol Growth, tolerance to low salinity, and osmoregulation in decapod crustacean larvae Gabriela Torres1, 2,*, Luis Giménez1, Klaus Anger2 1School of Ocean Sciences, Bangor University, Menai Bridge, LL59 5AB, UK 2Biologische Anstalt Helgoland, Foundation Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, 27498 Helgoland, Germany ABSTRACT: Marine invertebrate larvae suffer high mortality due to abiotic and biotic stress. In planktotrophic larvae, mortality may be minimised if growth rates are maximised. In estuaries and coastal habitats however, larval growth may be limited by salinity stress, which is a key factor select- ing for particular physiological adaptations such as osmoregulation. These mechanisms may be ener- getically costly, leading to reductions in growth. Alternatively, the metabolic costs of osmoregulation may be offset by the capacity maintaining high growth at low salinities. Here we attempted identify general response patterns in larval growth at reduced salinities by comparing 12 species of decapod crustaceans with differing levels of tolerance to low salinity and differing osmoregulatory capability, from osmoconformers to strong osmoregulators. Larvae possessing tolerance to a wider range in salinity were only weakly affected by low salinity levels. Larvae with a narrower tolerance range, by contrast, generally showed reductions in growth at low salinity. The negative effect of low salinity on growth decreased with increasing osmoregulatory capacity. Therefore, the ability to osmoregulate allows for stable growth. In euryhaline larval decapods, the capacity to maintain high growth rates in physically variable environments such as estuaries appears thus to be largely unaffected by the energetic costs of osmoregulation.

E-mail: [email protected] A. The burrowing and semiterrestrial crab Neohelice granulata actively and constantly builds its burrows in the intertidal zone of the Bahía Blanca Estuary during low tide. Differences in structural morphology of N. granulata burrows and burrowing activities in contrasting microhabitats (saltmarsh and mudflat) were analyzed and related to several conditions, such as tide level, substrate type, sediment properties, and population density. In the mudflat the higher density of total burrows in autumn (172 burrows·m–2) was associated with molt timing, and the higher density of active burrows in summer (144 burrows·m–2) was associated with reproductive migration. Sediments from biogenic mounds (removed by crabs) showed higher water content and penetrability than surface sediments (control), suggesting that bioturbation increases the values of these parameters. Grain size distribution profiles and mineralogical composition did not vary between microhabitats or between seasons.
