El intermareal rocoso de Veracruz, México, es un ecosistema que resguarda una gran biodiversidad. Sin embargo, no se ha reconocido su relevancia como con otros ecosistemas marinos. El objetivo de este estudio fue elaborar las primeras listas florística y faunística del intermareal rocoso de El Pulpo, localizada en el municipio de Cazones, Veracruz. Para ello, desde el 2013 a 2016 se efectuaron muestreos en la franja intermareal rocosa en periodos de marea baja para el registro de la biota marina y la recolecta de material biológico para su identificación taxonómica. Además, se realizó una revisión bibliográfica para complementar las listas de especies. Se registraron 51 especies de macroalgas bentónicas, una especie de fanerógama, 186 especies de invertebrados, y cinco especies de vertebrados para un total de 243 especies marinas. Las Rhodophyta son la ficoflora más representada con 29 es- pecies, mientras que el Phylum Mollusca lo es para la fauna con 139 especies. La mayoría de las especies marinas se registraron en el intermareal medio e inferior; por consiguiente la menor riqueza se registró en el intermareal superior y la constituyen algas filamentosas y foliosas, así como moluscos y crustáceos con hábitos ramoneadores y filtradores.

Geijskes, then Director of the Suriname Museum, Paramaribo, visited me and asked for my help. During the years (since 1938) Dr. Geijskes had stayed in Suriname, he had collected marine Mollusca in a great number of localities, in the Holocene so called shell- ridges, as well as on the coast and in the estuaries. He was sure that his collection contained a great number of species, and that their distribution over the localities was interesting. Geijskes is not a malacologist himself and he did not have at his disposal the literature and material for comparison necessary to identify his collection. Therefore he doubted if the list of names he had gradually drawn up from labels provided by malacologists to whom he had sent shells, and from information picked up during casual visits to 4 ZOOLOGISCHE VERHANDELINGEN 101 (1969) European museums when he was on leave, could be published.

  • Increased Molecular Sampling Within Cypraeidae and Its Phylogenetic Implications
    MALACOLOGIA, 2004, 46(1): 127−156 TOWARD COMPREHENSIVENESS: INCREASED MOLECULAR SAMPLING WITHIN CYPRAEIDAE AND ITS PHYLOGENETIC IMPLICATIONS Christopher P. Meyer Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 32611 USA; [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper introduces 73 additional taxa to the existing mitochondrial molecular data- base of 202 taxa for the Cypraeidae and addresses the systematic implications of their inclusion. Five outgroup members from the Ovulidae are also added. Sequence data are included from all previously missing extant named genera (Propustularia, Barycypraea and Schilderia), completing the overall “generic-level” framework for living cowries. Newly added taxa include 47 recognized species, 25 subspecies, and six undescribed taxa. Phy- logenetic results generally are consistent with previous arrangements, with few minor ad- justments. The most significant findings are that: (1) currently recognized Nesiocypraea is broken into two disparate clades, a deeply rooting Nesiocypraea sensu stricto group and the more derived Austrasiatica (Lorenz, 1989). (2) Two newly included Barycypraea taxa are sister to Zoila, reaffirming the validity of the subfamilial clade Bernayinae. (3) The inclusion of a significant number of added Erroneini taxa (N = 24) creates a phylogenetic challenge because of poor support and recovered relationships inconsistent at first glance with traditionally recognized affinities. In order to maintain nomenclatural consistency, Erronea is maintained at a generic level, whereas Adusta is dropped to subgeneric status within Erronea. Greater than 90% of currently recognized species are included, and 93% of these are supported by molecular criteria. Moreover, more than 70% of the tested, recognized subspecies are distinct. The phylogeny provides one of the most comprehen- sive, species-level frameworks to date for testing diversification theories in the marine tropics.

  • Mollusks Preyed by Octopus Insularis (Mollusca, Cephalopoda) in a Tropical Area in Northeastern Brazil
    Mollusks preyed by Octopus insularis (Mollusca, Cephalopoda) in a tropical area in northeastern Brazil CRISTIANE X. BARROSO1,2 & HELENA MATTHEWS-CASCON1,2 1Departamento de Biologia, Centro de Ciências, Universidade Federal do Ceará. Rua Campus do Pici, s/n, Bloco 909, Pici, CEP: 60440-900, Fortaleza, CE, Brazil. 2Graduate Program on Marine Tropical Sciences, Instituto de Ciências do Mar -LABOMAR, Universidade Federal do Ceará. Av. da Abolição, 3207, Meireles, CEP: 60165-081, Fortaleza, CE, Brazil. *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: The diet and feeding strategy of Octopus insularis were determined based on the shells found inside the pots used in its fishery. The data showed the versatility of this opportunist predator in overcoming barriers, represented by the shell of their prey. Key words. diet, predation strategy, gastropods, bivalves Resumo. Moluscos predados por Octopus insularis (Mollusca, Cephalopoda) em uma área tropical no nordeste do Brasil. A dieta e estratégia de forrageamento de Octopus insularis foram determinadas com base nas conchas encontradas nos potes utilizados em sua pescaria. Os dados mostraram a versatilidade desse predador oportunista em superar a barreira representada pela concha de sua presa. Palavras-chave. dieta, estratégia de predação, gastrópodes, bivalves. Octopus insularis Leite & Haimovici, 2008 is placed at a depth of 30 m along the coast. The shells a medium-sized species that has short, robust arms found within the pots between 2009 and 2014 were with deep webs. These features make this species collected and taken to the Laboratory of Marine capable of capturing small prey hidden in the hard Invertebrates of Ceará (LIMCE) of the Universidade substrate and even capture more than one prey Federal do Ceará.
