It is easy to rear in laboratory conditions with embryos available year- round and amenable to numerous kinds of embryological and functional genetic manipulations. However, beyond these developmental and genetic analyses, research on the architecture of its nervous system is fragmentary.

The samples were collected by a SCUBA diver between July 2008 and April 2009 and a total of 102 specimens belong to 5 cumacea species, Bodotria arenosa mediterranea, Cumopsis goodsir, Cumella limicola, Iphinoe maeotica and Pseudocuma longicorne was recorded. The dominant species, Iphinoe maeotica has the highest dominance value (36.66%). Multiregression approach resulted in statistically insignificant relationship between physical, chemical and biochemical variables of water and sediment and Bodotria arenosa mediterranea, Cumopsis goodsir, Cumella limicola, and Iphinoe maeotica. Based on multiple regression test, a significant relationship with R2 = 92.2%, F= 7.876 and p= 0.000 was found between six water and sediment quality constituents and numbers of Pseudocuma longicornis at the stations studied of the Dardanelles. On the other hand, water temperature (β= -0.114; t= -2.811, p= 0.016); sediment organic matter (β= -0.011; t= -2.406; p= 0.033) and water phosphorus (PO4) (β= 0.323; t= 3.444; p= 0.005) were found to be the most important water and sediment parameters that affect Pseudocuma longicornis.

  • Interstitial Cumaceans from Sandy Bottoms and Cymodocea Meadows of the Canary Islands
    Cah. Biol. Mar. (2002) 43 : 63-71 Interstitial cumaceans from sandy bottoms and Cymodocea meadows of the Canary Islands Jordi CORBERA1, Mari Carmen BRITO2 and Jorge NÚÑEZ2 1 Carrer Gran, 90, E-08310 Argentona, Spain. Fax: (34) 9 37560890 ; E-mail: [email protected] 2 Departamento de Biología Animal (Zoología), Facultad de Biología, Universidad de La Laguna 38206 La Laguna, Tenerife, The Canary Islands, Spain. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: During the study of the interstitial fauna from Cymodocea nodosa meadows and nearby sandy bottoms of the Canary Islands (Eastern Central Atlantic Ocean), six cumacean species were collected. Iphinoe inermis was recorded for the first time in the Atlantic Ocean and a new species, Iphinoe canariensis sp. nov., is described. During the monthly monitoring survey, cumaceans showed a low frequency of occurrence (25%) in the whole community. The two-year seasonal samplings showed higher cumacean densities in winter, when 77% of specimens were collected. Cumaceans were more abundant in the nearby sandy bottoms (62%) than in Cymodocea meadows, and in the upper layer of sediment than in the lower layers. Résumé: Cumacés interstitiels des fonds sableux et des herbiers à Cymodoce des Iles Canaries. Six espèces de cumacés ont été récoltées aux îles Canaries dans le cadre d’une étude sur la faune interstitielle provenant des herbiers à Cymodocea no- dosa et des fonds sableux limitrophes. Iphinoe inermis est signalée pour la première fois dans l’océan Atlantique et une nou- velle espèce, Iphinoe canariensis sp. nov. est décrite. Les échantillonnages mensuels réalisés durant deux années montrent que les cumacés sont relativement peu fréquents au sein de la communauté (25 %) et plus abondants en hiver.

    Marine Amphipoda of Bahia de San Quintin, Baja California Item Type article Authors Barnard, J.

LAURENS BARNARD A hydrobiological survey of Bahia de San Quintin was made in 1960 by the Beaudette Foundation (Barnard 1962d). Benthic samples (fig. 1) were collected with an orange-peel grab of about 650 square centimeters capacity ( 1jl6th square meter). Benthic standing crop of the bay is dominated largely by polychaetes and crustaceans, the Amphipoda forming the principal macroscopic crustacean component. Bahia de San Quintin is the first large enclosed bay south of southern California, wherein such bays have been so altered hy mankind that little original environment remains. Its importance as a study area was viewed in this framework, for it was hoped that sufficient comparisons could he made to suggest the composition of the original fauna in Newport Bay and San Diego Bay of southern California. The fauna of Bahia de San Quintin has proved, however, to have sufficient features of such unusual character and contrast that little progress was made in this line of thinking. THE ENVIRONMENT The bay comprises about 11.7 square nautical miles of water area and opens to the sea by a narrow channel. It is divided into two arms, west and cast. Only the benthos of the east arm has been investigated. Except for narrow channels of depths up to ll meters, most of the bay bottom lies at 2 to :3 meters.

Article History ABSTRACT Received 05 November, 2018 This study conducted in spring 2014 describes the spatial distribution of the Received in revised form 10 macrozoobenthic community and the environmental condition of the December, 2018 Accepted 13 December, 2018 Manfredonia Gulf (South Adriatic, Mediterranean Sea) through the application of the abundance-biomass-comparison (ABC) index. The surface sediments of the Keywords: Manfredonia Gulf were mostly silt-clay and clayey-silt. A total of 56 species was Macrozoobenthic identified. The Crustaceans had the highest number of species (16 species) community, followed by Polychaeta with 14 species who possessed the highest number of Spatial distribution, individuals (57% of total specimens). The Crustacea Apseudopsis latreillii and ABC index, the Polychaeta Capitellidae and Maldanidae family dominated the area. The Mediterranean abundance and wet biomass of the macrozoobenthic fauna was ranged -2 Manfredonia Gulf. respectively from 132±0.00 to 4605±2950.27 ind m and from 2±2.03 to -2 460.64±664.43 gr m . The resulting ABC index (W=0.32±0.26) indicated that the Manfredonia Gulf is a moderately disturbed area.

    Littoral Gammaridean Amphipoda from the Gulf of California and the Galapagos Islands J. LAURENS· BARNARD mut. SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY · NUMBER 271 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 Pa/eob/o/ogy Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology 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 cf 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.
