ABSTRACTCrangonyx stinei sp. n. is described from Peacock Springs Cave, in Wes Skiles Peacock Springs State Park, Suwannee County, Florida. Crangonyx stinei sp. n. was collected from the cave benthos via SCUBA cave diving techniques. Molecular analyses of the nuclear 18S and 28S rDNA and mitochondrial 16S rDNA reveal significant phylogenetic differences between C. stinei sp. n. and closely related Crangonyx spp. Crangonyx stinei sp. n. is the sixth member of the floridanus species complex in the State of Florida, but only the second to be described from a hypogean habitat. To determine the biogeographic range of C. stinei sp. n., additional collecting in both epigean and hypogean systems is needed.http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:39692E06-EBAA-492B-91FD-20EBB5D5C242KEYWORDS: 18S rDNA28S rDNA16S rDNAcavesFloridan aquiferCrangonyx stinei sp. n.

ABSTRACT Nematodes serve as excellent models for developmental studies, with a good number of favourable properties. The family Rhabditidae is a paraphyletic group of bacterivorous nematodes showing diversity in the structure of gonads, mode of reproduction, cleavage pattern, etc. In the present paper, two species of Rhabditidae, namely Mesorhabditis paucipapillata Paetzold, 1955 and Cephaloboides anisospiculus Tahseen et al., 2017, with monodelphic and didelphic types of gonads, respectively, were selected for a comparative analysis of the embryonic patterns and trends in gonad development. The cleavage patterns of the early cell lineages were observed to vary considerably with the division of EMS after three consecutive divisions in the AB line in C. anisospiculus. The patterns of gonad development differed, with the number of branches being the key factor in determining the shape and orientation of the primordium; in contrast, vulva formation largely depended on the position and shape of the vulval opening.
摘要线虫是发育研究的优秀模型，具有许多有利的特性。Rhabditidae家族是一组在性腺结构、繁殖方式、卵裂模式等方面表现出多样性的食菌线虫。在本文中，Rhabditdae的两个物种，即Poucipapillata Paetzold Mesorhabditis，1955和Cephaloboides anisospiculus Tahsee et al.，2017，分别具有性腺单倍体和双倍体类型，被选择用于性腺发育的胚胎模式和趋势的比较分析。在C.anisospiculus的AB系中连续三次分裂后，观察到早期细胞系的分裂模式随着EMS的分裂而显著变化。性腺发育的模式不同，分支的数量是决定原基形状和方向的关键因素；相反，外阴的形成在很大程度上取决于外阴开口的位置和形状。

ABSTRACT Tettigoniidae is the most diverse family within Orthoptera; its species inhabit forests all over the world, with the tropical and subtropical forests hosting the greatest number of species. Brazil is the country with the largest remnants of preserved forests, and is the country with the most recorded species of katydids. Even so, only two faunistic inventories have been carried out, both in the Atlantic Forest. The main objective of this work was to provide a faunistic inventory of Tettigoniidae in the Guartelá State Park, Paraná State, Southern Brazil, a park that preserves both the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado biomes. In this contribution 57 species of Tettigoniidae were recorded, with Phaneropterinae being the most diverse subfamily, represented by 36 species; Conocephalinae was represented by 19 species, whereas Meconematinae and Pseudophyllinae had only one species each. Among these species, five are new and are herein described: Conocephalus (Anisoptera) guartela sp. nov. (Conocephalinae: Conocephalini), Anaulacomera (Cervicercora) melloi sp. nov., Anaulacomera (Anaulacomera) szinwelskii sp. nov. (Phaneropterinae: Phaneropterini), Anisophya hemanuelae sp. nov., and Xenicola nunoi sp. nov. (Phaneropterinae: Odonturini). The calling songs of three of the new species were also recorded and are herein described and discussed, as well as the sounds of all species of the subgenus Conocephalus (Anisoptera). The relationship of some katydid species to plants is also described and discussed, as well as the feeding habits and other aspects of natural history, and the presence of some species in the driest areas of the park, representing the Cerrado, the biome with the lowest number of tetigonids recorded so far. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:6302611C-B300-4965-AD6A-C99711048B69

ABSTRACT Cleaning symbiosis is a cooperative interspecific interaction among reef fishes that helps to maintain healthy marine communities. Despite its importance, our knowledge on the cleaner role of many species, and on the costs and benefits of these interactions, is still scarce. Here, we report for the first time an adult Guinean angelfish Holacanthus africanus acting as cleaner of the smaller client blackbar soldierfish Myripristis jacobus in the remote Cabo Verde Archipelago, Eastern Atlantic. Adult angelfish cleaning behaviour is a rare juvenile trait retention, which based on our observations could have a negative effect on smaller clients. This negative effect can be associated with the fish’s extra lower jaw joint, adapted to extract sessile invertebrates from the substrate, which can remove the client’s tissues during the cleaning attempt. Thus, although cleaning interactions have been viewed as examples of marine mutualisms, the costs and benefits of cleaning for cleaners and clients require more studies. Our study also builds on the scarce information on cleaning behaviour of adult fishes and offers highlights on this symbiosis in isolated locations with low species richness and absence of dedicated cleaners.

ABSTRACT Baited remote underwater video station (BRUVS) investigations of benthic scavenging by fish and invertebrates were conducted in an Irish sea lough. Mackerel (Scomber scombrus) baits were deployed under natural light during the day and under dim red light at night. Ethograms for feeding mechanisms and agonistic behaviours were established for four abundant scavengers (two crabs: the harbour crab Liocarcinus depurator, and the European green crab Carcinus maenas; two fish: the shanny Lipophrys pholis, and the small-spotted catshark Scyliorhinus canicula). Crabs’ feeding mechanisms were similar, with differences reflecting their morphologies. Feeding bouts lasted minutes/tens of minutes. Intraspecific agonistic responses were mild and did not result in mutilation or mortality. Feeding mechanisms on macerated baits focussed on ‘chewing’ (combined use of chelipeds and mouthparts to feed continuously); agonistic behaviour was reduced, especially at night when balls of crabs showed ‘cooperative feeding’. Fish feeding bouts lasted for a few seconds in all cases. Shannies showed anticipatory agonistic behaviour (bait ‘guarding’ and ‘patrolling’ by large shannies) before bait maceration. Catsharks exhibited no intraspecific agonistic behaviour but removed large bait morsels by ‘biting’, ‘chewing’ and ‘spinning’. The common prawns Palaemon serratus only scavenged at night and were invisible to other scavengers; they showed no agonistic behaviours. Kleptoparasitism amongst the scavenger guild was common but intra-community predation was extremely rare. Phoretic feeding on bait scraps by red-speckled anemones (Anthopleura ballii) attached to the carapaces of the edible crab Cancer pagurus was observed.

ABSTRACT The taxonomic composition, phylogeny, ecology, biology, behaviour, and fossil record of Proteininae Erichson, 1839 is reviewed to place the first Eocene fossil specimen from Baltic amber in the knowledge framework of this rove beetle subfamily. The Baltic amber fossil is a poorly preserved female which was examined using X-ray micro-computed tomography (μ-CT). It is assigned to the genus Proteinus Latreille, which is represented by 53 extant species in the world fauna, most of which occur in the north temperate areas of the globe. Due to a shortage of data, this newly discovered fossil could not be identified to the species level. However, it is the first known fossil of Proteinus, which indicates that the genus has been present since at least the Late Eocene. Together with other fossils, and what is so far known about the phylogeny of Proteininae and allied groups, it suggests that while the subfamily Proteininae dates back at least to the mid-Cretaceous, its species-rich lineages may be significantly younger. Open questions about the evolution of Proteininae, including reasons for the mainly bipolar geographical distribution of its extant members or the imbalanced diversity with recent Proteinus and Megarthrus from Proteinini being the only species-rich taxa with a global distribution, are discussed. Proteinus sp. from Baltic amber is a valuable piece of evidence for future research in this direction.

ABSTRACT Among several manuscripts left behind by Swedish naturalist Peter Artedi following his untimely death in 1735 is an unfinished effort to classify the mammals, or the ‘hairy animals’, as Artedi called them. Titled ‘Idea institutionum Trichozoologiae’ (‘An outline of the principles of the science of hairy animals’), it presents a four-tier hierarchy composed of orders, sections (‘sectio’), genera and species, that foretells the work of Carl Linnaeus. An analysis of the impact that Artedi’s account might have had on Linnaeus’s treatment of the mammals in the various editions of his Systema naturae is presented. Results show that both authors owed much to the earlier work of English naturalist John Ray, with precedent going back to Aristotle.

Results show that both authors owed much to the earlier work of English naturalist John Ray, with precedent going back to Aristotle.","PeriodicalId":16568,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Natural History","volume":"57 1","pages":"1066 - 1079"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44516542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT Paraluederwaldtia Mello-Leitão, 1927 has its complex historical background herein revised and its position inside Pachylinae Sørensen, 1884 evaluated by cladistic analysis. Based on the results yielded here, Paraluederwaldtia is represented by two species [Paraluederwaldtia ankeri sp. nov. and Paraluederwaldtia bituberculata de Mello-Leitão, 1922 (type species)] endemic to the Atlantic province of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Due to the closer relationship of Paraluederwaldtia and the DRMN (Discocyrtus, Roweria, Mitobates and Neopachylus) clade to the detriment of the Pachylinae sensu stricto concept, its removal from Pachylinae is herein proposed. The type locality of P. bituberculata (Alto da Serra, São Paulo, Brazil) is here considered doubtful, and a male neotype from Itatiaia, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is herein designated. Finally, to address some genera already excluded from Pachylinae and more related to Discocyrtus s. str. than the other DRMN members, the concept of Discocyrtus sensu stricto+ (without formal subfamiliar status) is herein proposed. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:1BE09C2C-3855-4BE7-8D43-1640734BB7CC
摘要Paraluederwaldtia Mello Leitão，1927对其复杂的历史背景进行了修订，并通过分支分析对其在Pachylinae Sørensen，1884中的地位进行了评估。根据这里得出的结果，Paraluederwaldtia由巴西里约热内卢大西洋省特有的两个物种[Paraluederwaldtia ankeri sp.nov.和Paraluederwaldtia bituberculata de Mello Leitão，1922（模式种）]代表。由于Paraluederwaldtia和DRMN（Discocyrtus、Roweria、Mitobates和Neopachylus）分支的关系更密切，损害了Pachylinae狭义概念，因此建议将其从Pachylinaee中删除。在这里，P.bituberculata（巴西圣保罗的Alto da Serra）的模式位置被认为是可疑的，这里指定了一种来自巴西里约热内卢的Itatiaia的雄性新模式。最后，为了解决一些已经被排除在Pachylinae之外的属，并且与Discocyrtus s.str.比其他DRMN成员更相关，本文提出了Discocyrtussenso-stricto+（没有正式的亚家族地位）的概念。http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:1BE09C2C-3855-4BE7-8D43-1640734BB7CC
