Malmgrenia McIntosh, 1874 (Annelida, Polychaeta, POLYNOIDAE): proposed conservation of usage by designation of Malmgrenia andreapolis McIntosh, 1874 as the type species
The purpose of this application, under Article 81.1 of the Code, is to conserve the current usage of the widely used name Malmgrenia McIntosh, 1874 (a polynoid worm genus from the northern North Atlantic) by designation of Malmgrenia andreapolis McIntosh, 1874 as the type species of Malmgrenia. The type species...Muir, A I ; Chambers, Susan

The effects of dispersal mode on the spatial distribution patterns of intertidal molluscs
1. As many species of marine benthic invertebrates have a limited capacity for movement as adults, dispersal mode is often considered as a determinant of geographical ranges, genetic structure and evolutionary history. Species that reproduce without a larval stage can only disperse by floating or rafting. It is proposed that...Johnson, Mark P ; Allcock, A Louise ; Pye, Sankurie E ; Chambers, Susan ; Fitton, D M

Inventory and new records of Polychaete species from the Cap Bon peninsula , North East coast of Tunisia, Western Mediterranean Sea
An inventory of polychaete species is presented from the north-east coast of Tunisia with an historic review of the previous literature from Tunisian coasts. Altogether 40 families, 146 genera, and 238 species are currently known from the area, of which 86 taxa, 4 families (Chrysopetalidae, Pilargidae, Protodrilidae and Saccocirridae) and...Zaabi, S ; Gillet, P ; Chambers, Susan ; Afli, A ; Boumaiza, M

Chaetozone carpenteri, McIntosh, 1911 from the Mediterranean Sea and records of other bi-tentaculate Cirratulids
Many species of Cirratulidae have been recorded from the Mediterranean Sea since the descriptions and figures of the Naples fauna in one of the first comprehensive studies of polychaetes by delle Chiaje, 1823–3022. Chiaje, SD. 1823–30. Memorie sulla storia e notomia degli animali senza vertebre del Regno di Napoli, Vol.4,...Chambers, Susan ; Lanera, P ; Mikac, B

Distribution of Idanthyrsus cretus(Polychaeta:Sabellariidae) in the Tropical Eastern Pacific and application of PCR-RAPD for population analysis.
Sabellariid polychaetes, commonly known as honeycomb worms, are capable of forming large reef-like aggregations. One species, Idanthyrsus cretus, has recently been found in several localities during surveys of Las Perlas Archipelago, Pacific Panama. Large reefs of this species have not been recorded elsewhere in the Tropical Eastern Pacific. The reef...Barrios, L M ; Chambers, Susan ; Ismail, N. ; Guzman, H M ; Mair, J M

Zooplankton Identification Manual for North European Seas (ZIMNES)
The ecological importance of marine zooplankton cannot be overestimated. Throughout the world’s oceans, plankton species abundance and diversity impact, determine and drive global cycles, food-web structure and ecosystem stability (Banse, 1995; Sommer, 1996; Lindley et al., 2003). Plankton communities mediate transfer of organic matter from the productive photic zone to...Hastie, L C ; Rasmussen, J ; Angel, M V ; Boxshall, G A ; Chambers, Susan …

Hydrobiidae on North Uist
One of the problems of working on lochs that are slightly saline is a group of tiny (1-4mm) molluscs called mudsnails (Hydrobiidae). The rarest of these, Hydrobia acuta neglecta, was first identified in the UK in the Uists. This project aimed to eliminate any doubt about the identity. Genetic analyses...Chevalier, M ; Pye, Sankurie E ; Porter, J ; Chambers, Susan

Uist Lagoons Survey
Scotland has around a hundred saline lagoons, coastal lochs that are not quite as saline as the sea. A small number of organisms are confined to these lochs, but most of these are very small and belong to groups that are difficult to identify. A consortium of specialists in identification...Howson, C M ; Chambers, Susan ; Pye, Sankurie E ; Ware, F J
