No. 5 El Museo Nacional de Historia Natural es una institución del Estado Dominicano orientada al estudio científico y conservación de la biodiversidad de La Hispaniola y la región del Caribe, así como a la educación y divulgación ambiental. Ubicado en la Plaza de la Cultura, Avenida César Nicolás Penson, Santo Domingo, fue construido en el año 1974 y abrió sus puertas al público en 1982. Es una institución autónoma con personería jurídica y presupuestaria, adscrita al Ministerio de Medio Ambiente y Recuros Naturales mediante la Ley General de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (Ley 64-00). IN MEMORIAM RICHARD LAWRENCE HOFFMAN (1927-2012) El día 10 de junio del presente año, murió en el Estado de Virginia, Estados Unidos de Norteamérica, el Dr. Richard Lawrence Hoffman, curador emérito de invertebrados del Virginia Museum of Natural History (VMNH), reconocido zoólogo de artrópodos y máximo conocedor viviente de los miriápodos del mundo. Nació un 25 de septiembre de 1927 en Clifton Forge, se graduó de Biología en University of Virginia, alcanzó el grado de Maestría en Entomología en Cornell University y su doctorado en Virginia Tech. Desde la temprana adolescencia, Hoffman dedicó su vida al estudio de la historia natural de su Virginia natal y el sureste de los Apalaches, alcanzando profundos conocimientos sobre diferentes grupos zoológicos. Pero fue a la investigación de los milípedos (clase Diplopoda) que dedicó mayor tiempo, llegando a ser su más grande conocedor, a la vez que orientador y mentor de los más connotados investigadores de este grupo de miriápodos. Publicó más de 500 artículos y libros científicos, más de 50 artículos de divulgación, describió más de 600 táxones nuevos y en su honor se dedicaron otros 50. El trabajo como curador en el Museo de Historia Natural de Virginia desde su fundación, Hoffman lo combinó con la docencia universitaria y la investigación científica sobre la sistemática, la biología y la biogeografía de los milípedos en diferentes regiones del planeta, propulsando y participando en numerosos proyectos internacionales en este sentido, a la vez que colaborando, en calidad de investigador asociado, con otras prestigiosas instituciones como American Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History y Muséum d’histoire naturelle de la Ville de Genève. No tendríamos espacio para solo mencionar los títulos de su amplísima bibliografía, figurando entre éstos referencias obligadas, tales como: “Myriapoda, exclusive of insecta” En “Treatise of invertebrate paleontology” (1969), “Classification of the Diplopoda” (1980), “Diplopoda” En “Soil biology guide” (1990) y “Checklist of the millipeds of North and Middle America” (1999). La interesante fauna de diplópodos de Las Antillas, particularmente de La Hispaniola y Cuba, no podía resultarle indiferente a su energía inquisidora, ocupándose de ella en trabajos como “Nesobolus and a related new genus from Haiti (Diplopoda: Spirobolida: Rhinocricidae)” y, en coautoría, “On the identity of two enigmatic Hispaniolan millipeds (Spirobolida: Rhinocricidae)”, ambos publicados en 1998. Richard L. Hoffman fue un zoólogo formidable, con un universo de conocimientos muy amplio, esto podemos afirmarlo a la distancia de quienes solo le conocieron a través de sus publicaciones. Pero a decir de aquellos que tuvieron la dicha y el privilegio de tratarle, este hombre fue mucho más que un gran conocedor, fue un ser humano ejemplar: amable, pulcro en las maneras, dispuesto siempre a escuchar y servir a los demás, con un entusiasmo por el conocimiento tan desbordante que encantaba al escucharle. A este respecto resultan reveladoras las palabras de Joe B. Keiper, Director Ejecutivo del VMNH: “Hemos perdido a un verdadero erudito, caballero, y mentor… Sin embargo, el trabajo de su vida nos animará a aprender más sobre el mundo que nos rodea, y enseñar a otros lo que hemos aprendido”. Traducción libre. Nicholas Fraser, Encargado de Ciencias Naturales del Museo Nacional de Escocia, dijo: “Yo quedé muy apenado con la noticia de la muerte de Richard…Es una gran pérdida…Era un científico formidable, con una extraordinaria gama de conocimientos, mientras todos le echemos mucho de menos, también debemos recordar la calidez, la amabilidad y la riqueza que trajo a nuestras vidas”. Traducción libre. v Fotos de A. Norville, en http://nadiplochilo.com/myrialive.html. El Investigador Asociado de nuestro Museo Nacional de Historia Natural de Santo Domingo Antonio R. Pérez-Asso, connotado especialista cubano en el estudio de los diplópodos de Las Antillas, conoció personalmente a Richard Hoffman e intercambió profesionalmente con él: “Siento mucho la muerte de Hoffman. Hube de requerir sus orientaciones cuando, en la década de 1990, emprendí un amplio estudio y revisión sistemática del género Amphelictogon, diplópodos endémicos de Cuba pertenecientes a la familia Chelodesmidae, y del género Nesobolus, de la familia Rhinocricidae. Lo conocí personalmente en el Museo de Historia Natural de Virginia, a donde acudí para que él revisara mis trabajos. Me hospedó en su casa y compartimos durante varios días, quedando yo muy impresionado con sus amplios y profundos conocimientos de los miriápodos de todo el planeta, incluyendo los de Cuba y La Hispaniola, sobre los que publicó varios artículos esclarecedores; la barrera idiomática no fue un obstáculo, él me dio un trato muy cordial y humano, al tiempo que lograba comunicarme sus pareceres sobre los asuntos técnicos relativos a mis publicaciones. Richard Hoffman era una persona muy singular, dedicada por completo al trabajo, tocándome acompañarle en su rutina diaria: todos los días

P. Payne MSc Thesis, Department of Biodiversity and Conservation Biology, University of the Western Cape. Seamounts are poorly understood ubiquitous undersea features, with less than 4% sampled for scientific purposes globally. Consequently, the fauna associated with seamounts in the Indian Ocean remains largely unknown, with less than 300 species recorded. One such feature within this region is Walters Shoal, a shallow seamount located on the South Madagascar Ridge, which is situated approximately 400 nautical miles south of Madagascar and 600 nautical miles east of South Africa. Even though it penetrates the euphotic zone (summit is 15 m below the sea surface) and is protected by the Southern Indian Ocean Deep- Sea Fishers Association, there is a paucity of biodiversity and oceanographic data.

Also, we place Anolis citrinellus Cope, 1864 in the synonymy of Ctenonotus distichus (Cope, 1861); Anolis haetianus Garman, 1887 in the synonymy of Audantia cybotes (Cope, 1863); and Anolis whitemani Williams, 1963 in the synonymy of Audantia saxatilis (Mertens, 1938). Finally, we designate a lectotype for Anolis cybotes Cope, 1863, and for Anolis riisei Reinhardt & Lütken, 1863.

  • Proposal for a Revised Classification of the Demospongiae (Porifera) Christine Morrow1 and Paco Cárdenas2,3*
    Morrow and Cárdenas Frontiers in Zoology (2015) 12:7 DOI 10.1186/s12983-015-0099-8 DEBATE Open Access Proposal for a revised classification of the Demospongiae (Porifera) Christine Morrow1 and Paco Cárdenas2,3* Abstract Background: Demospongiae is the largest sponge class including 81% of all living sponges with nearly 7,000 species worldwide. Systema Porifera (2002) was the result of a large international collaboration to update the Demospongiae higher taxa classification, essentially based on morphological data. Since then, an increasing number of molecular phylogenetic studies have considerably shaken this taxonomic framework, with numerous polyphyletic groups revealed or confirmed and new clades discovered. And yet, despite a few taxonomical changes, the overall framework of the Systema Porifera classification still stands and is used as it is by the scientific community. This has led to a widening phylogeny/classification gap which creates biases and inconsistencies for the many end-users of this classification and ultimately impedes our understanding of today’s marine ecosystems and evolutionary processes. In an attempt to bridge this phylogeny/classification gap, we propose to officially revise the higher taxa Demospongiae classification. Discussion: We propose a revision of the Demospongiae higher taxa classification, essentially based on molecular data of the last ten years. We recommend the use of three subclasses: Verongimorpha, Keratosa and Heteroscleromorpha. We retain seven (Agelasida, Chondrosiida, Dendroceratida, Dictyoceratida, Haplosclerida, Poecilosclerida, Verongiida) of the 13 orders from Systema Porifera. We recommend the abandonment of five order names (Hadromerida, Halichondrida, Halisarcida, lithistids, Verticillitida) and resurrect or upgrade six order names (Axinellida, Merliida, Spongillida, Sphaerocladina, Suberitida, Tetractinellida). Finally, we create seven new orders (Bubarida, Desmacellida, Polymastiida, Scopalinida, Clionaida, Tethyida, Trachycladida).

Yet little is known about symbiotic copepods, abundant and numerous microscopic crustaceans inhabiting almost every living coral colony. In this thesis, I investigate the genetic diversity of different groups of copepods associated with reef-building corals in distinct parts of the Indo-Pacific; determine species boundaries; and reveal patterns of biogeography, endemism, and host-specificity in these symbiotic systems. A non-destructive method of DNA extraction allowed me to use an integrated approach to conduct a diversity assessment of different groups of copepods and to determine species boundaries using molecular and taxonomical methods. Overall, for this thesis, I processed and analyzed 1850 copepod specimens, representing 269 MOTUs collected from 125 colonies of 43 species of scleractinian corals from 11 locations in the Indo-Pacific.

We have interpreted this in a broad sense, so that all islands from Trinidad to the Bahamas have been included. Furthermore, we have included Bermuda, even though it is well north of the Caribbean region proper, as a more logical extension of the island fauna rather than the continental North American fauna. This was mentioned by Banks (1902b) nearly a century ago. Country or region (e. g., pantropical) records are included for those species which have broader ranges than the Caribbean area. We have not specifically included the islands of the Florida Keys, even though these could legitimately be included in the Caribbean region, because the known fauna is mostly continental. However, when Florida is known as the only continental U.S.A.

  • Direct and Indirect Effects of Millipedes on the Decay of Litter of Varying Lignin Content
    3 Direct and Indirect Effects of Millipedes on the Decay of Litter of Varying Lignin Content Grizelle González1, Christina M. Murphy1 and Juliana Belén2 1USDA FS International Institute of Tropical Forestry (IITF), Río Piedras, 2University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez, Puerto Rico 1. Introduction Millipedes are considered to be important organisms involved in decomposition, both for their direct feeding on detritus and their indirect effects on microbial activity. Hanlon (1981a, 1981b) suggested that fragmentation of leaf litter by soil fauna increases microbial biomass by increasing leaf surface area and diminishing pore sizes. The passage of litter through the gut of macroarthropods, such as millipedes, can help in the establishment of soil bacteria (Anderson & Bignell, 1980; Hanlon, 1981a, 1981b; Tajovsky et al., 1991; Maraun & Scheu, 1996). The presence of millipedes has been shown to increase the decomposition of litter as well as increase growth of seedlings (Cárcamo et al., 2001). In a beech forest, Bonkowski et al. (1998) also found that the presence of millipedes significantly increased the decomposition of litter, much more so than endogeic earthworms. The presence of millipedes has also been found to greatly increase the release of litter nutrients into the soil, especially calcium and nitrates (Pramanik et al., 2001). Millipedes are selective about what leaves they eat (Lyford, 1943; Kheirallah, 1979; Cárcamo et al., 2000). The chemical composition of leaf litter, especially the lignin and nitrogen content, can greatly affect soil fauna populations, although this effect is not clear for millipedes (Tian et al., 1993). Van der Drift (1975) estimated that in temperate areas millipedes are responsible for ingesting 5–10 percent of the annual leaf litter fall and Cárcamo et al.
