Specimens of the new genus, along with the other blood flukes that infect batoids are similar by having an inverse U-shaped intestine and a curving testis as well as by lacking tegumental spines. The new genus differs from all of the other blood flukes infecting batoids by having an elongate body (>50 × longer than wide), a testis having >100 curves, and an ovary wholly anterior to the uterus. It differs from Ogawaia glaucostegi Cutmore, Cribb et Yong, 2018, the only other blood fluke infecting a rhinopristiform, by having a body that is >50 × (vs <30 ×) longer than wide, a testis that is >75 × (vs <40 ×) longer than wide and has >100 (vs <70) curves, an ovary wholly anterior to (vs lateral and dorsal to) the seminal vesi- cle, a uterus wholly posterior to (vs overlapping and lateral to both) the testis and ovary, and a sinuous (vs convoluted) uterus.

For instance, the common redstart is a bird species breeding in the lowlands, whereas the black redstart is native to higher altitudes. Some species such as common swift and kestrel, which are originally adapted to enduring in rocky areas, even found a secondary habitat in the house facades and street canyons of towns and big cities. Classic rock dwellers include peregrine, eagle owl, rock­thrush, snowfinch and alpine swift. The presentation focuses on the biology, causes of threat as well as conservation measures taken by the national park concerning the species golden eagle, wallcreeper, crag martin and ptarmigan. Birds breeding in the rocks might not be that high in number, but their survival is all the more fascinating and worth protecting as such!

  • Parasites of Coral Reef Fish: How Much Do We Know? with a Bibliography of Fish Parasites in New Caledonia
    Belg. J. Zool., 140 (Suppl.): 155-190 July 2010 Parasites of coral reef fish: how much do we know? With a bibliography of fish parasites in New Caledonia Jean-Lou Justine (1) UMR 7138 Systématique, Adaptation, Évolution, Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, 57, rue Cuvier, F-75321 Paris Cedex 05, France (2) Aquarium des lagons, B.P. 8185, 98807 Nouméa, Nouvelle-Calédonie Corresponding author: Jean-Lou Justine; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. A compilation of 107 references dealing with fish parasites in New Caledonia permitted the production of a parasite-host list and a host-parasite list. The lists include Turbellaria, Monopisthocotylea, Polyopisthocotylea, Digenea, Cestoda, Nematoda, Copepoda, Isopoda, Acanthocephala and Hirudinea, with 580 host-parasite combinations, corresponding with more than 370 species of parasites. Protozoa are not included. Platyhelminthes are the major group, with 239 species, including 98 monopisthocotylean monogeneans and 105 digeneans. Copepods include 61 records, and nematodes include 41 records. The list of fish recorded with parasites includes 195 species, in which most (ca. 170 species) are coral reef associated, the rest being a few deep-sea, pelagic or freshwater fishes. The serranids, lethrinids and lutjanids are the most commonly represented fish families. Although a list of published records does not provide a reliable estimate of biodiversity because of the important bias in publications being mainly in the domain of interest of the authors, it provides a basis to compare parasite biodiversity with other localities, and especially with other coral reefs. The present list is probably the most complete published account of parasite biodiversity of coral reef fishes.

Its membership consists of those persons interested in basic or applied nematology, which is a branch of zoology dealing with nematode worms. The work of pioneer nematologists, demonstrating the economic importance of nematodes and the collective critical mass of interested nematologists laid the groundwork to form the Society of Nematologists (SON). SON was formed as an offshoot of the American Phytopathological Society (APS - see MS 175). Nematologists who favored the formation of a separate organization from APS held the view that the interests of SON were not confined to phytonematological problems and in 1958, D.P.

  • The Ultrastructure of Spermatozoa and Spermiogenesis in Pyramidellid Gastropods, and Its Systematic Importance John M
    HELGOLANDER MEERESUNTERSUCHUNGEN Helgol~inder Meeresunters. 42,303-318 (1988) The ultrastructure of spermatozoa and spermiogenesis in pyramidellid gastropods, and its systematic importance John M. Healy School of Biological Sciences (Zoology, A08), University of Sydney; 2006, New South Wales, Australia ABSTRACT: Ultrastructural observations on spermiogenesis and spermatozoa of selected pyramidellid gastropods (species of Turbonilla, ~gulina, Cingufina and Hinemoa) are presented. During spermatid development, the condensing nucleus becomes initially anterio-posteriorly com- pressed or sometimes cup-shaped. Concurrently, the acrosomal complex attaches to an electron- dense layer at the presumptive anterior pole of the nucleus, while at the opposite (posterior) pole of the nucleus a shallow invagination is formed to accommodate the centriolar derivative. Midpiece formation begins soon after these events have taken place, and involves the following processes: (1) the wrapping of individual mitochondria around the axoneme/coarse fibre complex; (2) later internal metamorphosis resulting in replacement of cristae by paracrystalline layers which envelope the matrix material; and (3) formation of a glycogen-filled helix within the mitochondrial derivative (via a secondary wrapping of mitochondria). Advanced stages of nuclear condensation {elongation, transformation of fibres into lamellae, subsequent compaction) and midpiece formation proceed within a microtubular sheath ('manchette'). Pyramidellid spermatozoa consist of an acrosomal complex (round

A Phylogenetic Analysis of Polygyridae (Gastropoda: Pulmonata) Based on Mitochondrial DNA Sequence Data Nicholas Defreitas University Honors Program Senior Thesis Introduction Despite the increasing use of molecular methods to determine evolutionary relationships among taxa, molecular sequence data have never been used to assess the relationships among the polygyrid snails (Gastropoda:Pulmonata:Polygyridae). This is surprising, considering how large, charismatic and common they are. Polygyrids range across North America, going as far north as parts of Canada and south as Mexico and even deeper into Central America (Pilsbry 1940). There is a particular concentration of these snails in the Appalachian Mountains, where they primarily serve as detritivores and prey for various woodland vertebrates in forest habitats. Yet despite the broad geographic distribution and high abundance of polygyrids in many forest habitats, there is still little known about their phylogeny (evolutionary relationships). Polygyrids are broadly distributed across North America. Mesodontini and Triodopsini are both found in eastern North America (Hubricht 1985).
