Methods We updated distribution maps for 41 taxa, using species distribution A Journal of Conservation Biogeography models and a revised presence-records database. We estimated evolutionary dis- tinctiveness (ED) for each taxon using recent molecular and morphological phylogenies and weighted these values with two measures of extinction risk: percentages of habitat loss and IUCN threat status. We mapped phylogenetic diversity and richness levels and compared phylogenetic distances in pitviper subsets selected via endemism, richness, threat, habitat loss, biome type and the presence in biodiversity hotspots to values obtained in randomized assemblages. Results Evolutionary distinctiveness differed according to the phylogeny used, and conservation assessment ranks varied according to the chosen proxy of extinction risk. Two of the three main areas of high phylogenetic diversity were coincident with areas of high species richness. A third area was identified only by one phylogeny and was not a richness hotspot. Faunal assemblages identified by level of endemism, habitat loss, biome type or the presence in biodiversity hotspots captured phylogenetic diversity levels no better than random assem- blages. -

Bandeirantes 3900, Ribeirao Preto, SP 14040-901, Brazil Abstract. —Six species of sharpnose puffers are herein recognized from the Atlantic Ocean, three of which are described as new: Canthigaster figueiredoi, n. sp. from the east coast of South America, Canthigaster jamestyleri, n. sp. from deep reefs off the southeast coast of the United States and the Gulf of Mexico, and Canthigaster supramacula, n. sp. from the west coast of Africa. Canthigaster capistratus (Lowe 1839), described from the Madeira Islands and previously considered to be a junior synonym of C. rostrata (Bloch, 1786), is revalidated and redescribed; it's known distribution extends from the Macaro- nesian Region to the Mediterranean. Canthigaster rostrata (Bloch, 1786), re- stricted to shallow-water northwestern Atlantic reefs, and C sanctaehelenae (Giinther, 1870), endemic to the mid-Atlantic islands of Ascension and St. Helena, also are diagnosed and redescribed. An identification key based on pigment pattern features is provided for all six Atlantic species of Canthigaster. Resumo.—Seis especies do genero Canthigaster (Tetraodontidae: Canthigas- terinae) sao reconhecidas no Oceano Atlantico, tres das quais sao descritas como novas: Canthigaster figueiredoi sp. n., da costa oriental da America do Sul, Canthigaster jamestyleri sp.n., de recifes profundos da costa Sudeste dos Estados Unidos e Golfo do Mexico e, por fim, Canthigaster supramacula sp. -

The bay is embraced by two peninsulas, the Miura Peninsula on the west, and the Boso Peninsula on the east. It is connected with the open ocean at the mouth of Sagami Bay by a narrow strip of water, the Uraga Strait. A submerged gorge, known as the Tokyo Submarine Canyon, cuts the shelf deeply in the strait. However the canyon does not reach the main basin of Tokyo Bay and terminates rather abruptly midway in the strait, where it becomes narrower and shallower (330-100 m). The water in the Uraga Strait is much influenced by the coastal water of Tokyo Bay (HoRIKOSHI, 1962). Surveys were made by Dr. M. HORIKOSHI, of the Ocean Research Institute, University of Tokyo to provide information on the benthonic communities of Tokyo Bay. 127 stations were taken in this area. The bottom samples obtained by dredg ing were washed in a sieve of 1 rom standard mesh and then classified into several animal groups. -
Reef Fisheries and Underwater Surveys Indicate Overfishing of a Brazilian Coastal Island
Research Letters Natureza & Conservação 8(2):151-159, December 2010 Copyright© 2010 ABECO Handling Editor: Sergio R. Floeter Brazilian Journal of Nature Conservation doi: 10.4322/natcon.00802008 Reef Fisheries and Underwater Surveys Indicate Overfishing of a Brazilian Coastal Island Hudson Tercio Pinheiro*, Jean-Christophe Joyeux & Agnaldo Silva Martins Departamento de Oceanografia e Ecologia, Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, Vitória, ES, Brasil Abstract The preoccupation about fishing effects on marine ecosystems has increased sharply over the last three decades. However, little is known about the impact of multi-gear artisanal and recreational fisheries on the structure of local reef fish communities in Brazil. Fishing activities around a Brazilian coastal island were monitored while reef fish density was censused during underwater surveys (UVC). The links between frequency of capture, intensity at which species are wished and UVC density were explored. Species were classified according to their frequency of capture as regular, occasional and rare, and classified according to the intensity at which they are wished (based on size and price), as highly targeted, average and non-targeted species. Ninety-seven species were caught by fishing, the majority of them being either rarely caught or non-targeted. Nineteen species were highly targeted but rarely caught. The highly targeted species showed extremely low density in the UVC. These results put in question the sustainability of the local fishing activities. The predominance of non-targeted species in the catches and in the reefs environment studied supports the expectation that these species will be more and more captured, thus collaborating to further change the structure of the reef community. -

ABSTRACT: Bothrops insularis and B. alcatraz are critically endangered species inhabiting two different coastal islands of the state of São Paulo. Although they are closely related species, they show distinct morphological characteristics due to their isolation from the continent. There is a general lack of studies on conservation and captive husbandry of these species, including their parasites. Our aim was to evaluate the deworming protocols used in B. insularis and B. alcatraz in captivity. We evaluated three deworming protocols through fecal examination: (1) adult B. insularis were treated with ivermectin and praziquantel, (2) adult B. alcatraz were treated with ivermectin, and (3) juvenile B. insularis and B. alcatraz were treated with ivermectin. The snakes are kept in the Laboratory of Ecology and Evolution at the Instituto Butantan (São Paulo, Brazil) for conservation purposes. To evaluate the deworming protocols, we performed the Willis-Mollay (1921) technique. After treating with the first protocol, 19% of the animals showed only eggs of a pseudoparasite (Syphacia obvelata). After the second protocol, 75% of the animals showed cestodes (Ophiotaenia sp.). -
