  • Extreme Miniaturization of a New Amniote Vertebrate and Insights Into the Evolution of Genital Size in Chameleons
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Extreme miniaturization of a new amniote vertebrate and insights into the evolution of genital size in chameleons Frank Glaw1*, Jörn Köhler2, Oliver Hawlitschek3, Fanomezana M. Ratsoavina4, Andolalao Rakotoarison4, Mark D. Scherz5 & Miguel Vences6 Evolutionary reduction of adult body size (miniaturization) has profound consequences for organismal biology and is an important subject of evolutionary research. Based on two individuals we describe a new, extremely miniaturized chameleon, which may be the world’s smallest reptile species. The male holotype of Brookesia nana sp. nov. has a snout–vent length of 13.5 mm (total length 21.6 mm) and has large, apparently fully developed hemipenes, making it apparently the smallest mature male amniote ever recorded. The female paratype measures 19.2 mm snout–vent length (total length 28.9 mm) and a micro-CT scan revealed developing eggs in the body cavity, likewise indicating sexual maturity. The new chameleon is only known from a degraded montane rainforest in northern Madagascar and might be threatened by extinction. Molecular phylogenetic analyses place it as sister to B. karchei, the largest species in the clade of miniaturized Brookesia species, for which we resurrect Evoluticauda Angel, 1942 as subgenus name. The genetic divergence of B. nana sp. nov. is rather strong (9.9‒14.9% to all other Evoluticauda species in the 16S rRNA gene). A comparative study of genital length in Malagasy chameleons revealed a tendency for the smallest chameleons to have the relatively largest hemipenes, which might be a consequence of a reversed sexual size dimorphism with males substantially smaller than females in the smallest species.

  • 4 CITES Listed Species
    Dutch Caribbean Species of High Conservation Value 4 CITES listed species 4.1 Notes on CITES Species CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) is an international agreement between governments. Its aim is to ensure that international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten their survival. In the CITES legislation organisms are classified in 3 categories depending on how endangered they are thought to be, or the degree of protection they are thought to need (CITES-Website 2012); ! Appendix I includes species threatened with extinction. Trade in specimens of these species is permitted only in exceptional circumstances. Import and export or re-export permits are required, issued by the Management Authority of the State of Import, Export or Re-Export. ! Appendix II includes species where trade is allowed but restricted. An export or re-export certificate is required, but no import permit is needed unless required by national law. ! Appendix III are species in which trade is allowed but monitored. An export permit must be issued by the Management Authority of the State that included the species in Appendix III. 4.2 Summary data CITES I CITES II CITES I CITES II CITES Dutch Caribbean 15 189 Saba 16 153 Marine 12 1120 Marine 5 115 Terrestrial 3 68 Terrestrial 1 36 Aruba 7 124 St Eustatius 160 159 Marine 4 102 Marine 5 115 Terrestrial 3 21 Terrestrial 1 43 Bonaire 17 153 St Maarten 16 152 Marine 5 115 Marine 5 115 Terrestrial 2 31 Terrestrial 1 33 Curaçao 17 158 Marine 6 115 Terrestrial 1 36 CITES listed species 31 November 2012 Dutch Caribbean Species of High Conservation Value 4.3 CITES I 4.3.1 Marine CITES Appendix I species Common Group Name English Name Scientific name Notes Aruba Bonaire Curaçao Saba Eustatius St.

A new family of antipatharian corals, Myriopathidae (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Antipatharia), is estab- lished for Antipathes myriophylla Pallas and related species. The family is characterized by polyps 0.5 to 1.0 mm in transverse diameter; short tentacles with a rounded tip; acute, conical to blade-like spines up to 0.3 mm tall on the smallest branchlets or pinnules; and cylindrical, simple, forked or antler-like spines on the larger branches and stem. Genera are differentiated on the basis of morphological fea- tures of the corallum. Myriopathes gen. nov., type species Antipathes myriophylla Pallas, has two rows of primary pinnules, and uniserially arranged secondary pinnules. Tanacetipathes Opresko, type species T. tanacetum (Pourtalès), has bottle-brush pinnulation with four to six rows of primary pinnules and one or more orders of uniserial (sometimes biserial) subpinnules. Cupressopathes gen. nov., type species Gorgonia abies Linnaeus, has bottle-brush pinnulation with four very irregular, or quasi-spiral rows of primary pinnules and uniserial, bilateral, or irregularly arranged higher order pinnules.

The guide is designed to aid in identification of a selection of common macroscopic marine invertebrates in the field and includes 95 species of sponges, 43 corals, 35 gorgonians, 16 nem- erteans, 12 sipunculeans, 19 opisthobranchs, 23 echinoderms, and 32 tunicates. Species are included here on the basis on local abundance and the availability of adequate photographs. Taxonomic coverage of some groups such as tunicates and sponges is greater than 70% of species reported from the area, while coverage for some other groups is significantly less and many microscopic phyla are not included.
