Taxonomic Study of the Pagurus Forbesii "Complex" (Crustacea
Taxonomic study of the Pagurus forbesii "complex" (Crustacea: Decapoda: Paguridae). Description of Pagurus pseudosculptimanus sp. nov. from Alborán Sea (Southern Spain, Western Mediterranean Sea). GARCÍA MUÑOZ J.E.1, CUESTA J.A.2 & GARCÍA RASO J.E.1* 1 Dept. Biología Animal, Fac. Ciencias, Univ. Málaga, Campus de Teatinos s/n, 29071 Málaga, Spain. 2 Inst. Ciencias Marinas de Andalucía (CSIC), Av. República Saharaui, 2, 11519 Puerto Real, Cádiz, Spain. * Corresponding author - e-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT The study of hermit crabs from Alboran Sea has allowed recognition of two different morphological forms under what had been understood as Pagurus forbesii. Based on morphological observations with various species of Pagurus, and molecular studies, a new species is defined and described as P. pseudosculptimanus. An overview on species of Pagurus from the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea is provided. Key words: Pagurus, new species, Mediterranean, eastern Atlantic. 1 Introduction More than 170 species from around the world are currently assigned to the genus Pagurus Fabricius, 1775 (Lemaitre and Cruz Castaño 2004; Mantelatto et al. 2009; McLaughlin 2003, McLaughlin et al. 2010). This genus is complex because of there is high morphological variability and similarity among some species, and has been divided in groups (e.g. Lemaitre and Cruz Castaño 2004 for eastern Pacific species; Ingle, 1985, for European species) with difficulty (Ayón-Parente and Hendrickx 2012). This difficulty has lead to taxonomic problems, although molecular techniques have been recently used to elucidate some species (Mantelatto et al. 2009; Da Silva et al. 2011). Thirteen species are present in eastern Atlantic (European and the adjacent African waters) (Ingle 1993; Udekem d'Acoz 1999; Froglia, 2010, MarBEL Data System - Türkay 2012, García Raso et al., in press) but only nine of these (the first ones mentioned below) have been cited in the Mediterranean Sea, all of them are present in the study area (Alboran Sea, southern Spain).

Abstract Ecological monitoring is a prerequisite for ecosystem-based management and conservation. There is a need for developing an efficient and non-destructive method for monitoring marine benthic arthropods on soft substrate, as the currently applied methods are often inadequate. Pitfall trapping has been used extensively to sample terrestrial arthropods but has not yet seriously considered in the marine environment. In this study, the effectiveness of pitfall traps as a way to monitor marine benthic arthropods is assessed.

This process aims to achieve the Good Environmental Status (GES) through the elaborated 11 Ecological Objectives and their respective common indicators. Since 2008, Contracting Parties to the Barcelona Convention have adopted the EcAp and agreed on a roadmap for its implementation. First phases of the EcAp process led to the accomplishment of 5 steps of the scheduled 7-steps process such as: 1) Definition of an Ecological Vision for the Mediterranean; 2) Setting common Mediterranean strategic goals; 3) Identification of an important ecosystem properties and assessment of ecological status and pressures; 4) Development of a set of ecological objectives corresponding to the Vision and strategic goals; and 5) Derivation of operational objectives with indicators and target levels.

Shell Utilization by the Hermit Crab, Diogenes Planimanus (Anomura: Diogenidae) from Karachi Coast, Pakistan
Pakistan J. Zool., vol. 39(4), pp. 233-238, 2007. Shell Utilization by the Hermit Crab, Diogenes planimanus (Anomura: Diogenidae) From Karachi Coast, Pakistan MEHER FATIMA Institute of Marine Science, University of Karachi, Karachi, Karachi-75270. Abstract.- The purpose of present study was to investigate the shell utilization pattern of most abundant hermitcrab Diogenes planimanus. Hermit crabs were collected during June-August 2002. Out of 32 species of gastropod shells occupied the most frequent were Nevrita didyma, Bullia tranquebarica, Babylonia spirata and Thais lacera. Large size crabs (>5.0 mm sheild length, SL) were abundant at sublittoral zone, majority of which occupied three types of gastropod shells: N. didyma, B. spirata and T. lacera .Small size crabs (<5mm SL) were common in the intertidal zone occupying a wide variety of gastropod shells, most frequently occupied was Bullia spp. The largest size crab (l2.4 mm, SL) occupied T. lacera whereas the smallest ones were found in shells of N. didyma, Bullia spp. Anachis fauroti and Natica alapapilionis. Sex ratio was biased towards females (1:1.9) including majority of ovigerous females .The two sexes showed significant difference in shell occupancy, majority of males preferred light weight, low-spired N. didyma shells. Regression analyses between shell size and hermit crab size occupying B. spirata, N. didyma and T. lacera showed weak correlation and negatively allometric relationship between size of D. planimanus and shell size.

Shell Utilization by the Hermit Crabs <I>Diogenes Pugilator</I> (Roux
BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 65(2): 391–405, 1999 SHELL UTILIZATION BY THE HERMIT CRABS DIOGENES PUGILATOR (ROUX, 1829), PAGURISTES EREMITA (LINNAEUS, 1767) AND PAGURUS FORBESII BELL, 1845 (CRUSTACEA: DECAPODA: ANOMURA), IN A SHALLOW-WATER COMMUNITY FROM SOUTHERN SPAIN M. E. Manjón-Cabeza and J. E. García Raso ABSTRACT Gastropod shells used by the three dominant hermit crabs, Diogenes pugilator (Roux, 1829), Paguristes eremita (Linnaeus, 1767), and Pagurus forbesii Bell, 1845, of the detritic littoral bottoms from Barbate Bay (Cadiz, Spain) were analyzed. The study showed that these hermit crabs species have different patterns of gastropod shell use. Paguristes eremita, the largest and strongest species, inhabits heavier gastropod shell species with wider aperture (belonging to the Muricidae family), while, Diogenes pugilator and Pagurus forbesii, inhabit smaller and lighter shells (mainly those belonging to the family Turridae). Diogenes pugilator, despite being clearly the more abundant species, does not use the most abundant species of the gastropod community (Turritella turbona), which instead is used by Pagurus forbesii. However, no morphological relationships between these her- mit crabs and the diameter of shell aperture have been found, either in relation with the whole gastropod shells used or in relation with the more specifically used shells. On the other hand, specimens of D. pugilator with cephalothoracic shield widths larger than the shell aperture have been found, however, this result has not been found in P. forbesii or in Paguristes eremita. Also, in these three species no differences in shell use by sexes exist. These and other data indicate that D. pugilator does not make a strong shell selection, perhaps in part, due to a competition with P.

Decapod Crustacean Assemblages from Littoral Bottoms of the Alborán Sea (Spain, West Mediterranean Sea): Spatial and Temporal Variability
SCIENTIA MARINA 72(3) September 2008, 437-449, Barcelona (Spain) ISSN: 0214-8358 Decapod crustacean assemblages from littoral bottoms of the Alborán Sea (Spain, west Mediterranean Sea): spatial and temporal variability JOSÉ ENRIQUE GARCÍA MUÑOZ, MARÍA EUGENIA MANJÓN-CABEZA and JOSÉ ENRIQUE GARCÍA RASO 1 Dept. Biología Animal, Fac. Ciencias, Univ. Málaga, Campus de Teatinos s/n, 29071 Málaga, Spain. E-mail address: [email protected] SUMMARY: The structure of decapod crustacean assemblages living in shallow waters (5 to 25 m depth) in an area of the Alborán Sea (Mediterranean Sea) neighbouring the Strait of Gibraltar was studied. The relatively high richness found in this area is probably due to the diversity of substrata and the confluence of Atlantic and Mediterranean waters. The most abundant species was the hermit crab Diogenes pugilator due to the prevalence of sandy substrate, the shallow depth-range, and the species’ life history. The coralligenous bottom showed the highest species richness and diversity values due to the complexity of microhabitats in this type of bottom and probably due to the food flux associated with currents. Conversely, shallow, well calibrated, fine to medium sandy bottoms of 5 m had the lowest values and the maximum densities due to the high abundance of a few well adapted species. The analysis of the different stations showed significant spatial differences according to depth and sedimentary characteristics. Depth is the environmental variable that correlates best with the decapod assemblages, with a particularly significant boundary between 5 m and 15 m. Nevertheless, there was a continuous transition between the assemblages. These results evidence the importance of quantitative studies in differentiating decapod assem- blages.
