SNH Commissioned Report 765: Seagrass (Zostera) Beds in Orkney

COMMISSIONED REPORT Summary Seagrass (Zostera) beds in Orkney Commissioned Report No. 765 Project No: 848 Contractors: Emma Jackson (The Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom) and Malcolm Thomson (Sula Diving) Year of publication: 2014 Keywords Seagrass; Zostera marina; Orkney; predictive model; survey. Background Seagrasses (Zostera spp) are marine flowering plants that develop on sands and muds in sheltered intertidal and shallow subtidal areas. Seagrass beds are important marine habitats but are vulnerable to a range of human induced pressures. Their vulnerability and importance to habitat creation and ecological functioning is recognised in their inclusion on the recommended Priority Marine Features list for Scotland’s seas. Prior to this study, there were few confirmed records of Zostera in Orkney waters. This study combined a predictive modelling approach with boat-based surveys to enhance under- standing of seagrass distribution in Orkney and inform conservation management. -
Comparison of Life History Traits of Tanais Dulongii (Tanaidacea: Tanaididae) in Natural and Artificial Marine Environments of the South-Western Atlantic

This is a post-peer-review, pre-copyedit version of a chapter published in “Species Diversity of Animals in Japan” (Motokawa M, Kajihara H, editors). The final authenticated version is available online at: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-4-431-56432-4_23. Chapter 23 Review of the Taxonomy, Diversity, Ecology, and Other Biological Aspects of Order Tanaidacea from Japan and Surrounding Waters Keiichi Kakui Faculty of Science, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Hokkaido 060-0810, Japan e-mail: [email protected] telephone: +81-11-706-2750 Abstract The order Tanaidacea is a group of benthic crustaceans, most of which are small, up to a few millimeters long. Tanaidaceans are distributed worldwide, with more than 1,200 described species. Following the first taxonomic paper on a Japanese tanaidacean in 1936, many researchers have studied their taxonomy, morphology, reproductive biology, or ecology in the waters around Japan. This chapter presents a brief introduction to tanaidaceans and then reviews what is known of their systematics (taxonomy and phylogeny), biology (including feeding habits, phenology, morphology, reproductive modes, parasites, predators), and ecology in Japan. The chapter ends with a summary and prospects for future research. The general conclusion is that tanaidaceans have been under-studied, both globally and within Japan; the 104 nominal species reported from around Japan and the 1,200 species reported globally likely represent a fraction of the actual diversity. The phylogeny of tanaidaceans is largely unresolved at all taxonomic levels. Recent, significant new discoveries dealing with herbivory, selfing, skin-digging activity in holothuroid hosts, possible sound production, and tube building suggest that much remains to be learned about their general biology. -

The species has been recorded from five different water bodies in the Dutch coastal area and in the docks of the Belgian harbour of Antwerp. S. stanfordi was until now not known to inhabit (North-) European coasts and estuaries. It is thus very likely that its origin is non-indigenous. Key words: Sinelobus stanfordi, The Netherlands, Belgium, estuaries, littoral From the Dutch and Belgian North Sea coast substrate in the Antwerp harbour, situated in the only a few species of Tanaidacea have been mesohaline part of the Schelde-estuary. All of recorded. For Apseudes talpa (Montagu, 1808) these observations were in estuarine conditions (Apseudidae) and both Heterotanais oerstedi with more or less marine influence. (Krøyer, 1842) and Leptochelia dubia (Krøyer, Many factors make it highly likely that this 1842) (Leptocheliidae) there are no known small tanaid is a very recent newcomer in recent records since Holthuis (1956) recorded European waters. -

[email protected] 1. Breve descripción del grupo y principales caracteres diagnósticos Los Tanaidacea son crustáceos peracáridos de pequeño tamaño (no más de 2 cm de longitud) de distri- bución universal. Son bénticos, la mayoría marinos aunque también los hay salobres y de agua dulce. Los hay libres, pudiendo nadar pocos centímetros, excavadores de galerías, constructores de tubos e incluso se conocen especies parásitas de holoturias. Se han encontrado hasta a más de 9.000 metros de profun- didad. Hay poco registro fósil (11 especies), siendo el primero conocido del Carbonífero inferior. A nivel taxonómico son Artrópodos del Subphylum Crustacea, catalogados en la Clase Malacostra- ca, Subclase Eumalacostraca. El Orden se sitúa bajo el Superorden Peracarida junto a 11 órdenes más. Los Tanaidacea presentan cefalotórax, primer pereiópodo quelado, generalmente seis segmentos torácicos libres, normalmente cinco somitos abdominales provistos de pleópodos y un pleotelson que acaba en un par de urópodos. La forma del rostro, el número de pereionitos y de pleonitos, el número de artejos, longitud relativa y fanerotaxia de las antenas son caracteres generales utilizados para la clasifica- ción del grupo. Con más frecuencia se utiliza el número de ramas de los urópodos, el marsupio, la morfo- logía y número de artejos de los pereiópodos, el quelípedo y, en especial, la morfología de las piezas bucales. -
