Phylogenetic Evidence That Both Ancient Vicariance and Dispersal Have Contributed to the Biogeographic Patterns of Anchialine Ca

Jurado-Rivera1, Joan Pons2, Fernando Alvarez3, Alejandro Botello4, William F. Humphreys5,6, Timothy J. Page 7,8, Thomas M. Iliffe9, Endre Willassen10, Kenneth Meland11, Carlos Juan1,2 & Damià Jaume2 Cave shrimps from the genera Typhlatya, Stygiocaris and Typhlopatsa (Atyidae) are restricted to specialised coastal subterranean habitats or nearby freshwaters and have a highly disconnected distribution (Eastern Pacific, Caribbean, Atlantic, Mediterranean, Madagascar, Australia). The combination of a wide distribution and a limited dispersal potential suggests a large-scale process has generated this geographic pattern. Tectonic plates that fragment ancestral ranges (vicariance) has often been assumed to cause this process, with the biota as passive passengers on continental blocks. The ancestors of these cave shrimps are believed to have inhabited the ancient Tethys Sea, with three particular geological events hypothesised to have led to their isolation and divergence; (1) the opening of the Atlantic Ocean, (2) the breakup of Gondwana, and (3) the closure of the Tethys Seaway. We test the relative contribution of vicariance and dispersal in the evolutionary history of this group using mitochondrial genomes to reconstruct phylogenetic and biogeographic scenarios with fossil- based calibrations. Given that the Australia/Madagascar shrimp divergence postdates the Gondwanan breakup, our results suggest both vicariance (the Atlantic opening) and dispersal. The Tethys closure appears not to have been influential, however we hypothesise that changing marine currents had an important early influence on their biogeography. -

These beds reach their greatest thickness in depressions between topographic highs and thin towards, and finally disappear on, the crests. The early Late Kimmeridgian graded packstone–bindstone alternations represent the earliest plattenkalk occurrence in southern Germany. The undisturbed lamination of the sediment strongly points to oxygen-free conditions on the seafloor and within the sediment, inimical to higher forms of life. The plattenkalk contains a diverse biota of benthic and nektonic organisms. Excavation of a 13 cm thick plattenkalk unit across an area of 80 m2 produced 3500 fossils, which, with the exception of the bivalve Aulacomyella, exhibit a random stratigraphic distribution. Two-thirds of the individuals had a benthic mode of life attached to hard substrate. This seems to contradict the evidence of oxygen-free conditions on the sea floor, such as undisturbed lamination, presence of articulated skeletons, and preservation of soft parts. -

STODDART Australian Museum, 6 College Street, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia ABSTRACT. Twenty-three species of deep-water lobsters in the families Nephropidae, Palinuridae, Polychelidae and Scyllaridae are recorded from the continental shelf and slope off eastern Australia. Ten species and two genera have not been previously recorded from Australia. These are Acanthacaris tenuimana, Projasus parkeri, Polycheles baccatus, P. euthrix, P. granulatus, Stereomastis andamanensis, S. helleri, S. sculpta, S. suhmi and Willemoesia bonaspei. The deep water lobster fauna of eastern Australia is compared with those of other Indo-Pacific areas. A key is given to all deep-water lobster species recorded from Australian waters.

Geodiversitas 34 (4): 849-855. http://dx.doi.org/10.5252/g2012n4a7 ABSTRACT In 1817, Desmarest erected Eryon cuvieri, a new crustacean from the Late Jurassic of Bavaria (southern Germany). Later, the same taxon was described as Macrourites arctiformis by von Schlotheim (1820). Subsequently, numerous authors, probably KEY WORDS unaware of Desmarest’s first paper, referred to this taxon as Eryon arctiformis (von Crustacea, Schlotheim, 1820). Following the Principle of Priority, the original name must be Decapoda, Eryonidae, used and Macrourites arctiformis von Schlotheim, 1820 is here considered to be a Eryon, more recent, subjective synonym. Moreover, two specimens of the type series of Lectotype, Eryon cuvieri Desmarest, 1817, from Faujas de Saint-Fond’s Cabinet of Natural Jurassic, Germany, History, have recently been traced in the Collection de Géologie of the Muséum Solnhofen. -

For over 140 years, convergent evolution of the crab-like body plan (with a wide and flattened shape, and a bent abdomen) at least five times in decapod crustaceans has been known as ‘carcinization’. The repeated loss of this body plan has been identified as ‘decarcinization’. We offer phylogenetic strategies to include poorly known groups, and direct evidence from fossils, that will resolve the pattern of crab evolution and the degree of phenotypic variation within crabs. Proposed ecological advantages of the crab body are summarized into a hypothesis of phenotypic integration suggesting correlated evolution of the carapace shape and abdomen. Our premise provides fertile ground for future studies of the genomic and developmental basis, and the predictability, of the crab-like body form.

South Carolina Department of Natural Resources
FOREWORD Abundant fish and wildlife, unbroken coastal vistas, miles of scenic rivers, swamps and mountains open to exploration, and well-tended forests and fields…these resources enhance the quality of life that makes South Carolina a place people want to call home. We know our state’s natural resources are a primary reason that individuals and businesses choose to locate here. They are drawn to the high quality natural resources that South Carolinians love and appreciate. The quality of our state’s natural resources is no accident. It is the result of hard work and sound stewardship on the part of many citizens and agencies. The 20th century brought many changes to South Carolina; some of these changes had devastating results to the land. However, people rose to the challenge of restoring our resources. Over the past several decades, deer, wood duck and wild turkey populations have been restored, striped bass populations have recovered, the bald eagle has returned and more than half a million acres of wildlife habitat has been conserved. We in South Carolina are particularly proud of our accomplishments as we prepare to celebrate, in 2006, the 100th anniversary of game and fish law enforcement and management by the state of South Carolina. Since its inception, the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) has undergone several reorganizations and name changes; however, more has changed in this state than the department’s name. According to the US Census Bureau, the South Carolina’s population has almost doubled since 1950 and the majority of our citizens now live in urban areas. -
Les Glyphéides Actuels Et Leur Relation Avec Les Formes Fossiles (Decapoda, Reptantia)
LES GLYPHÉIDES ACTUELS ET LEUR RELATION AVEC LES FORMES FOSSILES (DECAPODA, REPTANTIA) THE RECENT GLYPHEIDS AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR FOSSIL RELATIVES (DECAPODA, REPTANTIA) PAR JACQUES FOREST1) Institut océanographique, 195, rue Saint-Jacques, F-75005 Paris, France ABSTRACT Until recently, the family Glypheidae (Decapoda, Reptantia) was known from fossils only, and consequently presumed extinct for 50 million years. However, in 1975 scientists of the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris recognized a Recent specimen as belonging to this family. The specimen had been collected in the Phillippines in 1908 at approx. 200 m depth, and had remained unidentified in the collections of the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C., since. That same year, the species was described as Neoglyphea inopinata Forest & de Saint Laurent, thus testifying the actual persistence of the group in today’s marine fauna. Three expeditions in the same region, in 1976, 1980, and 1985, yielded another 20 specimens, all caught alive. The subsequent study of those specimens would indicate that the phylogenetic position assigned to the glypheids until then had, in fact, been erroneous. The same applied to the other mesozoic families included in the superfamily Glypheoidea. The glypheoids had usually been placed next to the Scyllaridae and Eryonidae in the infraorder Palinura, and been considered probable ancestors of part of the remaining Decapoda Reptantia. However, their similarities would come out to result rather from analogous resemblances than from actual morphological affinities. In fact, after comparison of the principal characters of the three groups, we have been able to confirm that the Glypheoidea did not exhibit any true relationship with the two others. -
