  • Zootaxa, a New Genus of Soft Coral (Octocorallia: Alcyonacea: Clavulariidae)
    Zootaxa 1219: 47–57 (2006) ISSN 1175-5326 (print edition) www.mapress.com/zootaxa/ ZOOTAXA 1219 Copyright © 2006 Magnolia Press ISSN 1175-5334 (online edition) A new genus of soft coral (Octocorallia: Alcyonacea: Clavulariidae) from Chile L.P. VAN OFWEGEN1, V. HÄUSSERMANN2 & G. FÖRSTERRA2 1Nationaal Natuurhistorisch Museum, P.O. Box 9517, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands. E-mail: [email protected] 2Universidad Austral de Chile, Departamento de Biología Marina, Campus Isla Teja, Casilla 567, Valdivia, Chile. E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Incrustatus comauensis n. gen. & n. sp. (Octocorallia: Clavulariidae) is described from Chile. It occurs in shallow water from Concepción to the southern fjord region. The genus forms stolons on mytilid shells and rocks, or encrusting sheets on Crepidula shells (Gastropoda), polychaete tubes, gorgonians, and other substrata. The sclerites of the new taxon are 8-radiates and derivatives of these. The polyps are unarmed or posses a few irregularly arranged spindles. The new genus is compared with another taxon that forms encrusting sheets or stolons. Key words: Coelenterata, Cnidaria, Octocorallia, Alcyonacea, Clavulariidae, benthos, Incrustatus, new genus, new species, Chile Introduction The shallow water soft coral fauna of the Chilean coast is still almost completely unknown. To date one stoloniferous species has been described from Chile, Clavularia magelhaenica Studer, 1878, from the Straits of Magellan. From 1997 onwards, Verena Häussermann and Günter Försterra investigated the anthozoan fauna of Chile, with a focus on the South Chilean fjord region, and collected many specimens. This soft coral collection includes several undescribed species of Alcyonium, a species of Renilla, and some possible clavulariids, among which was an as yet undescribed new genus that is the subject of this paper.

  • Coelenterata: Anthozoa), with Diagnoses of New Taxa
    PROC. BIOL. SOC. WASH. 94(3), 1981, pp. 902-947 KEY TO THE GENERA OF OCTOCORALLIA EXCLUSIVE OF PENNATULACEA (COELENTERATA: ANTHOZOA), WITH DIAGNOSES OF NEW TAXA Frederick M. Bayer Abstract.—A serial key to the genera of Octocorallia exclusive of the Pennatulacea is presented. New taxa introduced are Olindagorgia, new genus for Pseudopterogorgia marcgravii Bayer; Nicaule, new genus for N. crucifera, new species; and Lytreia, new genus for Thesea plana Deich- mann. Ideogorgia is proposed as a replacement ñame for Dendrogorgia Simpson, 1910, not Duchassaing, 1870, and Helicogorgia for Hicksonella Simpson, December 1910, not Nutting, May 1910. A revised classification is provided. Introduction The key presented here was an essential outgrowth of work on a general revisión of the octocoral fauna of the western part of the Atlantic Ocean. The far-reaching zoogeographical affinities of this fauna made it impossible in the course of this study to ignore genera from any part of the world, and it soon became clear that many of them require redefinition according to modern taxonomic standards. Therefore, the type-species of as many genera as possible have been examined, often on the basis of original type material, and a fully illustrated generic revisión is in course of preparation as an essential first stage in the redescription of western Atlantic species. The key prepared to accompany this generic review has now reached a stage that would benefit from a broader and more objective testing under practical conditions than is possible in one laboratory. For this reason, and in order to make the results of this long-term study available, even in provisional form, not only to specialists but also to the growing number of ecologists, biochemists, and physiologists interested in octocorals, the key is now pre- sented in condensed form with minimal illustration.

  • Antarctic Sessile Marine Benthos: Colonisation and Growth on Artificial Substrata Over Three Years
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 316: 1–16, 2006 Published July 3 Mar Ecol Prog Ser OPENPEN ACCESSCCESS FEATURE ARTICLE Antarctic sessile marine benthos: colonisation and growth on artificial substrata over three years David A. Bowden*, Andrew Clarke, Lloyd S. Peck, David K. A. Barnes Natural Environment Research Council, British Antarctic Survey, High Cross, Madingley Road, Cambridge CB3 0ET, UK ABSTRACT: The development of sessile invertebrate assemblages on hard substrata has been studied exten- sively in temperate and tropical latitudes. Such studies provide insights into a range of ecological processes, and the global similarity of taxa recruiting to these assem- blages affords the potential for regional-scale com- parisons. However, few data exist for high latitude assemblages. This paper presents the first regularly resur- veyed study of benthic colonisation from within the Antarctic Circle. Acrylic panels were deployed horizon- tally on the seabed at 8 and 20 m depths at each of 3 loca- tions in Ryder Bay, Adelaide Island, SW Antarctic Peninsula (67° 35’ S, 68° 10’ W). Assemblages colonising upward- and downward-facing panel surfaces were photographed in situ from February 2001 to March 2004. Assemblages were dominated by bryozoans and spiror- Bowden and co-workers present the first successful benthic bid polychaetes. Total coverage after 3 yr ranged from 6 to colonisation study from within the Antarctic Circle. They 100% on downward-facing surfaces but was <10% on all describe a system governed by extremely slow and highly upward-facing surfaces. Overall colonisation rates were seasonal growth, and a range of post-settlement disturbances in which succession is more predictable than in comparable up to 3 times slower than comparable temperate latitude temperate or tropical assemblages.

Approximately 400 octocoral specimens were collected from the Ogasawara Islands by SCUBA diving during 2013–2016 and by dredging surveys by the R/V Koyo of the Tokyo Met- ropolitan Ogasawara Fisheries Center in 2014 as part of the project “Biological Properties of Bio- diversity Hotspots in Japan” at the National Museum of Nature and Science. Here we report on 52 lots of these octocoral specimens that have been identified to 42 species thus far. The specimens include seven species of three genera in two families of Stolonifera, 25 species of ten genera in two families of Alcyoniina, one species of Scleraxonia, and nine species of four genera in three families of Pennatulacea. Among them, three species of Stolonifera: Clavularia cf. durum Hick- son, C. cf. margaritiferae Thomson & Henderson and C. cf. repens Thomson & Henderson, and five species of Alcyoniina: Lobophytum variatum Tixier-Durivault, L. cf. mirabile Tixier- Durivault, Lohowia koosi Alderslade, Sarcophyton cf. boletiforme Tixier-Durivault and Sinularia linnei Ofwegen, are new to Japan. In particular, Lohowia koosi is the first discovery since the orig- inal description from the east coast of Australia.

  • Species Status Assessment Emperor Penguin (Aptenodytes Fosteri)
    SPECIES STATUS ASSESSMENT EMPEROR PENGUIN (APTENODYTES FOSTERI) Emperor penguin chicks being socialized by male parents at Auster Rookery, 2008. Photo Credit: Gary Miller, Australian Antarctic Program. Version 1.0 December 2020 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Ecological Services Program Branch of Delisting and Foreign Species Falls Church, Virginia Acknowledgements: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Penguins are flightless birds that are highly adapted for the marine environment. The emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) is the tallest and heaviest of all living penguin species. Emperors are near the top of the Southern Ocean’s food chain and primarily consume Antarctic silverfish, Antarctic krill, and squid. They are excellent swimmers and can dive to great depths. The average life span of emperor penguin in the wild is 15 to 20 years. Emperor penguins currently breed at 61 colonies located around Antarctica, with the largest colonies in the Ross Sea and Weddell Sea. The total population size is estimated at approximately 270,000–280,000 breeding pairs or 625,000–650,000 total birds. Emperor penguin depends upon stable fast ice throughout their 8–9 month breeding season to complete the rearing of its single chick. They are the only warm-blooded Antarctic species that breeds during the austral winter and therefore uniquely adapted to its environment. Breeding colonies mainly occur on fast ice, close to the coast or closely offshore, and amongst closely packed grounded icebergs that prevent ice breaking out during the breeding season and provide shelter from the wind. Sea ice extent in the Southern Ocean has undergone considerable inter-annual variability over the last 40 years, although with much greater inter-annual variability in the five sectors than for the Southern Ocean as a whole.

Although investigations of the phylum have taken place over a century, knowledge of species diversity in this sea is still very incomplete. The coastal waters of the Bering Sea belong territorially to Russia and the United States of America and, accordingly, study of the bryofauna has been achieved generally by the efforts of the Russian and American bryozoological schools. For a number of reasons, their investigations were conducted independently and, because the investigators identified specimens collected within their “national” sea areas, species occurring in the eastern and southeastern shelves of the sea were generally studied by American scientists and those in western coastal waters by Russians. Therefore the history of bryozoan investigations of the Bering Sea is most usefully presented according to the two lines of research. 2. Investigations of the American bryozoological school The first reliable data about bryozoans in the Bering Sea were connected with biological investigations of the Alaskan shelf and reported by Alice Robertson.1 She recorded three species – Membranipora membranacea (L.), Bugula purpurotincta (later changed to B.

  • Haswell Island (Haswell Island and Adjacent Emperor Penguin Rookery on Fast Ice)
    Measure 5 (2016) Management Plan for Antarctic Specially Protected Area No. 127 Haswell Island (Haswell Island and Adjacent Emperor Penguin Rookery on Fast Ice) 1. Description of values to be protected The area includes Haswell Island with its littoral zone and adjacent fast ice when present. Haswell Island was discovered in 1912 by the Australian Antarctic Expedition led by D. Mawson. It was named after William Haswell, professor of biology who rendered assistance to the expedition. Haswell is the biggest island of the same-name archipelago, with a height of 93 meters and 0,82 sq.meters in area. The island is at 2,5 km distance from the Russian Mirny Station operational from 1956. At East and South-East of the island, there is a large colony of Emperor penguins (Aptenodytes forsteri) on fast ice. The Haswell Island is a unique breeding site for almost all breeding bird species in East Antarctica including the: Antarctic petrel (Talassoica antarctica), Antarctic fulmar (Fulmarus glacioloides), Cape petrel (Daption capense), Snow petrel (Pagodroma nivea), Wilson’s storm petrel (Oceanites oceanicus), South polar skua (Catharacta maccormicki), Lonnberg skua Catharacta antarctica lonnbergi and Adelie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae). The Area supports five species of pinnipeds, including the Ross seal (Ommatophoca rossii) which falls in the protected species category. ATCM VIII (Oslo, 1975) approved its designation as SSSI 7 on the aforementioned grounds after a proposal by the USSR. Map 1 shows the location of the Haswell Islands (except Vkhodnoy Island), Mirny Station, and logistic activity sites. It was renamed and renumbered as ASPA No. 127 by Decision 1 (2002).
