Additions and revisions are made to the list of Cimpedia recorded from the Azores, including samples taken near hydrothermal vents and in the intertidal zone. Observations are reported on the distribution and breeding of Tesseropora atlantica, a relict oceanic species, not found on the continents, that incubates its larvae to the short-lived cypris stage. The degree of endemicity of Azorean barnacles is currently being revised, but most species . reported from the Azores are widely distributed in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean.

Apresentam-se aqui os primeiros resultados do projecto POCI/MAR/58185/2004 financiado pela FCT que visa o estudo dos aspectos da biologia desta espécie considerada pela OSPAR em risco e com necessidade de estudo urgente. A descrição de Megabalanus azoricus foi revista e pela primeira vez obtiveram-se larvas em laboratório. Iniciou-se uma inventariação de populações em várias ilhas do Arquipélago. Os estudos de reprodução realizados, baseados no estudo macroscópico e estereológico das gónadas de uma população de São Miguel permitiram verificar que estas cracas nos Açores apresentam-se sexualmente maturas ao longo de todo o ano, embora não se tenha registado produção de ovos em Novembro, Março e Agosto. Foram comparadas algumas populações provenientes de várias ilhas através da comparação das respectivas sequências de DNA de dois fragmentos COI-COII e 18S- ITS1 tendo-se verificado uma baixa variabilidade nos haplotipos de ambos os marcadores, o que não suporta níveis de diferenciação significativos entre as populações.

Cypris settled predominantly on the carapace (67%), mostly on the gastric area (40%), on the left or right orbital areas (35%), on the head appendages, and on the pereiopods 1–3. Encrusting individuals were mostly small (84%); medium-sized specimens accounted for 11% and large for 5%. On the cephalothorax, most were observed in branchial (661) and orbital areas (240). Only 40–41 individuals were found on gastric and cardiac areas. Some individuals (246), mostly small (95%), were observed on the dorsal portion of somites.

This study aimed to investigate the relative effects of variation in recruitment and survival rates on the density dynamics of 3 spatially separated natural populations of the barnacle Semibalanus balanoides (Isle of Man, SW Ireland and west Sweden). We analysed 2 different data-based stochastic matrix models of open populations with space-limited recruitment. Assumption testing supported the application of matrix-model theory for studying and comparing population variables of open populations. Recruit- ment was found to be partly dependent on free space, and mortality was size-specific and indepen- dent of other vital rates. Model simulations showed that the relative importance of recruitment and survival in shaping adult density depends on the existing variation of these vital rates at each loca- tion.

  • Benvenuto, C and SC Weeks. 2020
    --- Not for reuse or distribution --- 8 HERMAPHRODITISM AND GONOCHORISM Chiara Benvenuto and Stephen C. Weeks Abstract This chapter compares two sexual systems: hermaphroditism (each individual can produce gametes of either sex) and gonochorism (each individual produces gametes of only one of the two distinct sexes) in crustaceans. These two main sexual systems contain a variety of alternative modes of reproduction, which are of great interest from applied and theoretical perspectives. The chapter focuses on the description, prevalence, analysis, and interpretation of these sexual systems, centering on their evolutionary transitions. The ecological correlates of each reproduc- tive system are also explored. In particular, the prevalence of “unusual” (non- gonochoristic) re- productive strategies has been identified under low population densities and in unpredictable/ unstable environments, often linked to specific habitats or lifestyles (such as parasitism) and in colonizing species. Finally, population- level consequences of some sexual systems are consid- ered, especially in terms of sex ratios. The chapter aims to provide a broad and extensive overview of the evolution, adaptation, ecological constraints, and implications of the various reproductive modes in this extraordinarily successful group of organisms. INTRODUCTION 1 Historical Overview of the Study of Crustacean Reproduction Crustaceans are a very large and extraordinarily diverse group of mainly aquatic organisms, which play important roles in many ecosystems and are economically important. Thus, it is not surprising that numerous studies focus on their reproductive biology. However, these reviews mainly target specific groups such as decapods (Sagi et al. 1997, Chiba 2007, Mente 2008, Asakura 2009), caridean Reproductive Biology. Edited by Rickey D.

Depth data and museum collection data (for Australian museums) are given for each species. Geographical occurrence is also listed by area and depth (littoral, neuston, sublittoral or deep). Australian contributions to the biology of Australian cimpedes are summarised in an appendix. All listings are indexed by genus and species. JONES. D.S.. J.T. ANDERSON & D.T. ANDERSON,1990.
