Chace, Jr. SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 466 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 Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies 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 of 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. Press requirements for manuscript and art preparation are outlined on the inside back cover. Robert McC.

Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology, number 466, 99 pages 25 figures, 1988. Keys are offered to the Philippine genera of the family, including the new monotypic genus Vexillipar, based on the new species V. repandum, the commonest alpheid in the collection and a possible inhabitant of Euplectella, the Venus's-flower-basket sponge, in depths of 296 to 875 meters. Also included are keys to all currently recognized species of Automate, Batella, Betaeopsis, and Nennalpheus, and to the known Philippine species of Alpheopsis, Alpheus.Athanas, and Synalpheus. The following new species are described, in addition to Vexillipar repandum: Alpheus davaoensis from 51 meters in Davao Gulf, Mindanao; A. hyphalus from 296 meters in Verde Island Passage south of western Luzon; A. macellarius from the Cebu Market; A. quasirapacida and A. suluensis from 18 and 38 meters, respectively, in the southwestern Sulu Archipelago; and Batella leptocarpus from 296 meters in the western Mindanao Sea.

Tackling Exposure to Changing Hazards and Disaster Impacts Enhancing Adaptive Capacity Addressing Poverty, Vulnerabil- ity and their Causes In 2008, the Province of Albay in the Philippines was declared a "Global Local Government Unit (LGU) model for Climate Change Adapta- tion" by the UN-ISDR and the World Bank. The province has boldly initiated many innovative approaches to tackling disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) in Albay and continues to integrate CCA into its current DRM structure. Albay maintains its position as the first mover in terms of climate smart DRR by imple- menting good practices to ensure zero casualty during calamities, which is why the province is now being recognized throughout the world as a local govern- ment exemplar in Climate Change Adap- tation.

Received: 7 April 2020; Accepted: 19 May 2020; Published: 23 May 2020 Abstract: The community composition of decapods associated with subtidal tropical seagrass meadows was analyzed in a pristine reef lagoon on the Mexican Caribbean coast in the summer of 1995 and winter of 1998. The macrophyte community was dominated by Thalassia testudinum followed by Syringodium filiforme, with interspersed rhyzophytic macroalgae and large patches of drift algae. In each season, 10 one-min trawls were made with an epibenthic sled (mesh aperture 1 mm) during the day and 10 during the night on each of five sites. In all, 53,211 decapods belonging to 119 species were collected. The most diverse taxa were Brachyura and Caridea, but the most abundant were Caridea and Anomura. Dominance was high, with three species (Latreutes fucorum, Cuapetes americanus, and Thor manningi) accounting for almost 50% of individuals, and 10 species accounting for nearly 90% of individuals. There was great similarity in community composition and ecological indices between seasons, but significantly more individuals and species in night versus day samples.

  • Cruising Guide to the Philippines
    Cruising Guide to the Philippines For Yachtsmen By Conant M. Webb Draft of 06/16/09 Webb - Cruising Guide to the Phillippines Page 2 INTRODUCTION The Philippines is the second largest archipelago in the world after Indonesia, with around 7,000 islands. Relatively few yachts cruise here, but there seem to be more every year. In most areas it is still rare to run across another yacht. There are pristine coral reefs, turquoise bays and snug anchorages, as well as more metropolitan delights. The Filipino people are very friendly and sometimes embarrassingly hospitable. Their culture is a unique mixture of indigenous, Spanish, Asian and American. Philippine charts are inexpensive and reasonably good. English is widely (although not universally) spoken. The cost of living is very reasonable. This book is intended to meet the particular needs of the cruising yachtsman with a boat in the 10-20 meter range. It supplements (but is not intended to replace) conventional navigational materials, a discussion of which can be found below on page 16. I have tried to make this book accurate, but responsibility for the safety of your vessel and its crew must remain yours alone. CONVENTIONS IN THIS BOOK Coordinates are given for various features to help you find them on a chart, not for uncritical use with GPS. In most cases the position is approximate, and is only given to the nearest whole minute. Where coordinates are expressed more exactly, in decimal minutes or minutes and seconds, the relevant chart is mentioned or WGS 84 is the datum used. See the References section (page 157) for specific details of the chart edition used.

Zoological Studies 46(4): 454-472. Arete borradailei Coutière, 1903 and Athanas verrucosus Banner and Banner, 1960 are transferred to Rugathanas gen. nov., based on several unique features on the chelipeds, 3rd pereiopods, antennules, and mouthparts. The estab- lishment of Rugathanas enables the redefinition of Athanas Leach, 1814 and Arete Stimpson, 1860, and a for- mal revalidation of Arete, formerly a synonym of Athanas. Two important features, the number of pereiopodal epipods and the number of carpal segments of the 2nd pereiopod, are variable within Rugathanas gen. nov., but may be used to distinguish Athanas from Arete. The distribution ranges of R. borradailei (Coutière, 1903) comb. nov. and R. verrucosus (Banner and Banner, 1960) comb. nov. are considerably extended based on recently collected material from the Ryukyu Is., Japan; Kenting, southern Taiwan; and Norfolk I., off eastern Australia. http://zoolstud.sinica.edu.tw/Journals/46.4/454.pdf Key words: Alpheidae, New genus, Athanas, Arete, Indo-Pacific.

    LEARNING TO TALK WEATHER IN THE COASTAL PHILIPPINES SHELLEY TUAZON GUYTON NOTES FROM THE FIELD Learning to Talk Weather in the Coastal Philippines SHELLEY TUAZON GUYTON Ph.D. Candidate in Anthropology University of California, Riverside Abstract In these notes from the field, I illustrate some impressions from my research on disaster communication in Tacloban City, a highly urbanized area on an island coast in the central Philippines. Coastal residents vulnerable to storm-related hazards (particularly storm surges, flooding, and landslides) gather weather information daily, from multiple resources —texting; radio; television; contact from government authorities; and knowledge shared with family, friends, and neighbors. Residents navigate scientific terminology, such as Low Pressure Area, and refer to their own experiences with storms to mitigate their risk. In this essay, I show that “weather talk” in this location takes a level of “know-how” that I am still trying to learn. Residing in Tacloban City, Philip- Since I registered my mobile pines, I find that I must consider infor- number to the Community Climate Guide mation from a variety of media and my own and Response (CCGR) service, I have past experiences to calculate my risk with received weather updates almost daily— each passing storm.
