Abstract Inversions of the origin of replication (ORI) of mitochondrial genomes produce asymmetrical mutational pressures that can cause artefactual clustering in phylogenetic analyses. It is therefore an absolute prerequisite for all molecular evolution studies that use mitochondrial data to account for ORI events in the evolutionary history of their dataset.

  • Chitons (Mollusca: Polyplacophora) Known from Benthic Monitoring Programs in the Southern California Bight
    ISSN 0738-9388 THE FESTIVUS A publication of the San Diego Shell Club Volume XLI Special Issue June 11, 2009 Chitons (Mollusca: Polyplacophora) Known from Benthic Monitoring Programs in the Southern California Bight Timothy D. Stebbins and Douglas J. Eernisse COVER PHOTO Live specimen of Lepidozona sp. C occurring on a piece of metal debris collected off San Diego, southern California at a depth of 90 m. Photo provided courtesy of R. Rowe. Vol. XLI(6): 2009 THE FESTIVUS Page 53 CHITONS (MOLLUSCA: POLYPLACOPHORA) KNOWN FROM BENTHIC MONITORING PROGRAMS IN THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BIGHT TIMOTHY D. STEBBINS 1,* and DOUGLAS J. EERNISSE 2 1 City of San Diego Marine Biology Laboratory, Metropolitan Wastewater Department, San Diego, CA, USA 2 Department of Biological Science, California State University, Fullerton, CA, USA Abstract: About 36 species of chitons possibly occur at depths greater than 30 m along the continental shelf and slope of the Southern California Bight (SCB), although little is known about their distribution or ecology. Nineteen species are reported here based on chitons collected as part of long-term, local benthic monitoring programs or less frequent region-wide surveys of the entire SCB, and these show little overlap with species that occur at depths typically encountered by scuba divers. Most chitons were collected between 30-305 m depths, although records are included for a few from slightly shallower waters. Of the two extant chiton lineages, Lepidopleurida is represented by Leptochitonidae (2 genera, 3 species), while Chitonida is represented by Ischnochitonidae (2 genera, 6-9 species) and Mopaliidae (4 genera, 7 species).

  • Systematics, Phylogeny, and Taphonomy of Ghost Shrimps (Decapoda): a Perspective from the Fossil Record

Abstract Ghost shrimps of Callianassidae and Ctenochelidae are soft-bodied, usually heterochelous decapods representing major bioturbators of muddy and sandy (sub)marine substrates. Ghost shrimps have a robust fossil record spanning from the Early Cretaceous (~ 133 Ma) to the Holocene and their remains are present in most assemblages of Cenozoic decapod crustaceans. Their taxonomic interpretation is in flux, mainly because the generic assignment is hindered by their insufficient preservation and disagreement in the biological classification. Fur- thermore, numerous taxa are incorrectly classified within the catch-all taxonCallianassa . To show the historical patterns in describing fos- sil ghost shrimps and to evaluate taphonomic aspects influencing the attribution of ghost shrimp remains to higher level taxa, a database of all fossil species treated at some time as belonging to the group has been compiled: 250 / 274 species are considered valid ghost shrimp taxa herein.

Thirteen samplings were performed at 8 stations in 2012 (seven samplings), 2014 (four), and 2015 (two). The collection of the mollusks in each station was done at a maximum depth of 5 m for 1 h by 3 divers. A total of 2086 specimens belonging to 89 species, 36 families, and 3 classes of mollusks were identified. Gastropoda was the most diverse and abundant group. Calyptreaidae, Columbellidae, and Muricidae had >5 species, but Pisaniidae, Conidae, Fasciolariidae, and Muricidae had ≥15% of relative abundance. Most species found in this study were recorded in the rocky intertidal zone, and 10 species were restricted to the rocky subtidal zone. The affinity in the composition of the species during 2012–2015 had a low similarity (25%), but we could differentiate natural and anthropogenic effects according to malacological composition.

  • Suborder Gammaridea Latreille, 1803
    Systematic List of Amphipods Found in British Columbia by Aaron Baldwin, PhD Candidate School of Fisheries and Ocean Science University of Alaska, Fairbanks Questions and comments can be directed to Aaron Baldwin at [email protected] This list is adapted from my unpublished list “Amphipoda of Alaska” that I had maintained from 1999 to about 2004. This list follows the taxonomy of Bousfield (2001b) and utilizes his ranges as confirmed records for British Columbia. It is important to note that I have not updated the original list for about five years, so name changes, range extensions, and new species since that time are unlikely to be included. Because of the relative difficulty in amphipod identification and the shortage of specialists there are undoubtedly many more species that have yet to be discovered and/or named. In cases where I believe that a family or genus will likely be discovered I included a bolded note. Traditional classification divides the amphipods into four suborders, of which three occur on our coast. This classification is utilized here (but see note on Hyperiida at end of list), but is likely artificial as the Hyperiidea and Caprelidea probably nest within the Gammaridea. Myers and Lowry (2003) used molecular work to support elevating the superfamily Corophioidea (Corophoidea) to subordinal status and including the traditional corophoids as well as the caprellids as infraorders within this taxon. These authors cite a reference I do not have (Barnard and Karaman, 1984) as the original source of this classification. As time allows I may include this new and probably better classification updates to this list Key: (?) Author unknown to me and apparently everyone else.

  • 1 Amphipoda of the Northeast Pacific
    Amphipoda of the Northeast Pacific (Equator to Aleutians, intertidal to abyss): VII. Caprelloidea – a review Donald B. Cadien, LACSD 22July04 (revised 20Apr15) Preface The purpose of this review is to bring together information on all of the species reported to occur in the NEP fauna. It is not a straight path to the identification of your unknown animal. It is a resource guide to assist you in making the required identification in full knowledge of what the possibilities are. Never forget that there are other, as yet unreported species from the coverage area; some described, some new to science. The natural world is wonderfully diverse, and we have just scratched its surface. Anthropogenic transport is also constantly introducing exotic species into our area, particularly in this superfamily. Introduction to the Caprelloidea Until recent years the caprellids were viewed as a separate suborder of the order Amphipoda, equivalent to the gammarids and the hyperiids. The discovery of the caprogammarids (Kudrjashov & Vassilenko 1966) began to call this into question (McCain 1968, 1970; Laubitz 1976, J. L. Barnard & Karaman 1983), and, following the revisionary work of Myers and Lowry (2003), they are fully nested into the gammaroids based on morphologically based cladistic analysis of their phylogeny. This position was retained in the larger analysis of Lowry & Myers (2013) which established the senticaudates, to which all of the caprellidians belong. Not all workers are willing to accept the revisions of Myers and Lowry, particularly Stella Vassilenko, who feels that it is inappropriate and based on the wrong evidence (Vassilenko 2006). She feels that caprellids should retain their own separate suborder as Caprellidea, and that Cyamida and Caprellida both should retain infraordinal rank.

The investigations described in this paper represent a con- tinuation of previous work on the mantle cavity and its con- tained organs in the Gastropoda (Yonge, 1937 c, 1938) and in the Scaphopoda (Yonge, 19376). They are intended to form part of a comprehensive survey, from the functional aspect, of these organs throughout the Mollusca. The structure and the anatomical relations of the organs contained in the mantle cavity of the Loricata are well known, as a result, in the main, of the morphological investigations of Haller (1882, 1884), Pelseneer (1898, 1899), and Plate (1898-1901). But only Arey and Crozier (1919) have made observations on the water cur- rents in the mantle cavity, and they failed to point out how these were brought about, giving no account either of the ciliation of the gills or of the manner in which the mantle cavity is divided into inhalant and exhalant chambers. 368 0. M. YONGB The greater part of this work has been carried out on two common British species, Lepidochitona cinereus (Lepi- dochitonidae) and Lepidopleurus asellus, which is one of the few representatives of the primitive order Lepidopleurida.
