Full textThe Pleistocene provides the opportunity to study changes of coral reef communities through times of climate change, and to compare fossil to recent reefs. Whereas Pleistocene reefs from the Caribbean are well studied and understood, the much larger Indo-Pacific region with a greater coral diversity is represented by only a few quantitative studies on community ecology. Previous studies observed an astonishing persistence and stability in community composition and diversity throughout several interglacial episodes until today, which is contradictory to the claim that recent coral reefs are especially sensitive to climate change. The present study deals with two Indo-Pacific regions that so far lacked quantitative data of fossil reef communities: tropical Vanuatu (Coral Sea) and subtropical Sinai, Egypt (northern Red Sea). In Vanuatu at least seven fossil reef terraces with ages between 5,000 and 400,000 years are preserved, of which four could be studied in more detail. A great variability was observed among terraces and especially among sub-environments within terraces. Reefs remained stable in terms of diversity throughout the Pleistocene and Holocene but it seems that the dominance of the coral genus Acropora is a fairly recent phenomenon in Vanuatu, because this genus does not play a large role in terraces older than 96,000 years (MIS 5c). In Egypt quantitative and binary data from the last interglacial episode (MIS 5e) were compared with data from the recent Red Sea and adjacent regions. These show a northward migration of coral taxa during the last MIS5e. This observation confirms earlier studies that demonstrated a range expansion of tropical reef communities towards higher latitudes, and supports studies that suggest the northern Red Sea and especially the Gulf of Aqaba as future refuge for corals during climate warming. These results indicate that coral reefs were able to cope with dramatic environmental changes in the absence of anthropogenic impact.

Full textI macroforaminiferi rappresentano un gruppo di organismi unicellulari assai importanti negli studi di biostratigrafia, paleoecologia e paleobiogeografia. Oltre ad essere assai abbondanti nelle successioni sedimentarie, sono infatti ampiamente distribuiti geograficamente, hanno avuto rapide fasi evolutive, sono stati suscettibili ai cambiamenti ambientali. Il progetto di Dottorato di Ricerca riguarda alcuni macroforaminiferi miocenici (alveolinoidi, austrotrillinidi, lepidocyclinidi, nummulitidi) identificati nel Mediterraneo (Spagna sud-orientale) e nell’Oceano Indo-Pacifico (Indonesia, Filippine settentrionali, Maldive ed Isole Ryukyu). I nuovi ritrovamenti, argomento di questa tesi, provengono da una successione sedimentaria potente circa 270 m affiorante nella Sierra de Marmolance (Granada, Spagna sud-orientale). La successione è stata datata Langhiano–Serravalliano sulla base di associazioni a foraminiferi planctonici presenti alla sua base. L’associazione a macroforaminiferi è costituita da Austrotrillina brunni, Austrotrillina striata, Borelis inflata, Eulepidina formosoides, Eulepidina ex. interc. dilatata et formosoides, Heterostegina assilinoides, Neorotalia viennoti, Nephrolepidina ex. interc. morgani et praemarginata, Nephrolepidina tournoueri, Nummulites fichteli, Nummulites kecskemetii, Nummulites vascus, Operculina complanata, Risananeiza crassaparies and Spiroclypeus sp. Queste specie sono state considerate fino ad oggi indicative del Rupeliano–Chattiano e dell’Aquitaniano–Burdigaliano. A seguito del ritrovamento in depositi più recenti l’inquadramento biostratigrafico dell’associazione si estende dal Rupeliano al Serravalliano inferiore. Poiché queste specie sono considerate indicatori biozonali del Neogene, questo studio evidenzia la necessità di una revisione sostanziale delle SBZ (Shallow Benthic Zonation) dell’Oligocene–Miocene. Nuovi ritrovamenti di Austrotrillina da Ibi e Sierra de Marmolance (Spagna sud-orientale), Indonesia e dal Pacifico occidentale hanno permesso la revisione (a) tassonomica di questo taxon sulla base della struttura del guscio (tectum e parakeriotheca con alcove subsuturali), (b) biostratigrafica e (c) paleobiogeografica. Austrotrillina brunni e A. striata migrarono dal Rupeliano della Tetide Occidentale nell’Indo-Pacifico. A. striata raggiuge l’Indonesia e l’Australia occidentale nel Chattiano e successivamente scompare nel Langhiano di Kita-daito-jima. Austrotrillina brunni compare nel Burdigaliano dell’Indonesia e dell’Australia occidentale, scomparendo poi nel Serravalliano inferiore dell’Australia occidentale e meridionale. Le ultime segnalazioni di A. brunni e A. striata sono nel Serravalliano del Mediterraneo occidentale (Spagna sud-orientale). La comparsa e la distribuzione geografica di Austrotrillina howchini, dal Burdigaliano specie esclusiva delle aree indo-pacifiche, è probabilmente dovuta alla chiusura del corridoio tetideo che differenziava le bioprovince mediterranea ed indo-pacifica. Questa specie scompare nel Langhiano superiore–Serravalliano inferiore dell’Australia meridionale e nel Kikai Seamount. La distribuzione paleobiogeografica di queste specie suggerisce una connessione attiva fra l’Africa orientale e l’Indo-Pacifico Centrale durante il Miocene inferiore. Numerosi nuovi ritrovamenti sia fossili che recenti di Flosculinella ed Alveolinella dalle Maldive, Indonesia ed Isole Ryukyu hanno permesso la revisione tassonomica di questi taxa e la comprensione delle filogenesi degli alveolinoidi nell’area indo-pacifica. Flosculinella globulosa, F. Reicheli, F. bontangensis, F. cucumoides, Alveolinella borneensis e A. quoyi sono state descritte. La presenza del solo passaggio presettale e septula a forma di Y in Borelis schlumbergeri, Flosculinella ed Alveolinella sono caratteri strutturali con significato filogenetico. Borelis philippinensis è riconosciuta come specie ancestrale di questi taxa.

Full textRivers in Indo-Pacific islands are colonised by diadromous species, and as migrating species, they are the only ones capable of naturally colonising insular freshwaters. Dispersal strategies of these diadromous species are essential for the colonisation and the persistence of freshwater communities at a local scale, but also at the island and regional scales. Because of their isolation, local populations can only be perennially maintained by an important marine dispersal, allowing the colonisation of new environments with a recruitment independent from the local reproduction conditions. Within the gastropod molluscs, the Neritidae family is composed of diadromous amphidromous species; there are widespread species and others have a more restricted distribution area. By analysing life history traits of these species, we contributed to the understanding of the factors regulating dispersal and recruitment. In the context of global change and rising human impacts on the environment, our results will bring knowledge for the sustainable management of these taxa. After having synthesised the present knowledge on amphidromous neritids, we undertook the taxonomic revision of the ‘Neritina pulligera’ complex. We also studied the phylogeography of two species, N. stumpfii and N. canalis by a molecular barcoding approach. Our results show the presence of cryptic species within the complex studied. We also show that there are two biogeographic barriers, one between the West Pacific and the Central Pacific, and the other between the Indian and the Pacific oceans, playing an important role in the regulation of oceanic larval circulation. Finally, our work on the vital marking and the microchemical analysis of the operculum, has given rise to new interesting research perspective. Indeed, the operculum could be used as an environmental archive allowing deciphering some life history traits of this group

Introduction -- Musculoskeletal anatomy of Mugil cephalus -- A phylogenetic analysis of the Indo-Pacific mullets -- Description of the genera and species of Indo-Pacific mullet -- References.
Systematic, phylogeny and geographical distribution of Mugilidae in Indo-Pacific and Australian waters was reviewed, using morphological and osteological data. The original description, and synonymies, of all genera and species were compiled, and the extant type specimens in the Australian Museum, Queensland Museum, Western Australian Museum, British Museum of Natural History, Paris Museum of Natural History, Amsterdam, and Leiden Museums of Natural History were examined. Specimens of 11 species were collected from 50 coastal sites of Australia between Cairns (Queensland), to Port Elliston (South Australia), and Tasmania. Species that could not be collected were borrowed from the above mentioned museums. Thirty nine genera of mullets have been described worldwide of which 18 genera were recognised as valid in this study and a new genus 'ParamugiV is described. Mullets are most speciose in Indo-Pacific and this research suggests that 27 species (excluding Mugil brousssonetii Valenciennes, 1836), belonging to 14 genera are found in this region. -- The osteology and musculature of Mugil cephalus, as representative of Mugilidae is described. Distinguishing osteological characters within the group are defined. Osteology is a useful discriminant between genera and, in combination with morphometries and meristics, establishes useful criteria for the identification of these fishes. -- Phylogenetic analysis of data was performed using PAUP (Phylogenetic Analysis Using Parsimony) computer software. Keys for identification of genera and species of Indo-Pacific mullets are developed and description of different genera and species are given following the hierarchy of relationships among them on the cladogram. The genera of Cestraeus and Aldrichetta represent the plesimorphic (primitive) subfamily of Agonostominae in Indo-Pacific. Mugilinae containing the other Indo-Pacific mullets is apomorphic (advanced). The cladogram of phylogenetic analysis suggests that Myxus elongatus and Trachystoma petardi are the most plesiomorphic members of the subfamily Mugilinae and sister group to other Indo-Pacific species. Osteology and morphology of alimentary canal of Gracilimugil argenteus also supports the superficial differences of this genus from Liza, and the cladogram separates it as a distinct lineage following Trachystoma, and more primitive compared to the rest of Indo-Pacific mullets. Osteology also strongly suggests that Gracilimugil ramsayii is a junior synonym of Gracilimugil argenteus. The cladogram also separates Ellochelon vaigiensis as a distinct lineage which is plesiomorphic to Liza and the rest of derived Indo-Pacific mullets. Valamugil georgii and Liza parmata display some morphological features different from diagnostic characters for Mugil, Valamugil and Liza. The autapomorphic character states of distinct morphology of maxilla, articular, palatine and lachrymal plus ctenoid scales without membranous hind margin, and lack of pectoral axillary scale grouped them as a distinct lineage in the cladogram and sister-group to Liza. 'Paramugil' a new genus is erected for 'MugiV parmatus and 'Mugil' georgii. The genera Crenimugil and Valamugil are sister-groups, and except morphology of mouth do not reveal any significant differences. -- Twenty species of mullets belonging to twelve genera are found in Australian waters. Species Trachystoma petardi, Myxus elongatus, Gracilimugil argenteus, and Paramugil georgii, are restricted only to Australian waters. Trachystoma petardi is confined to freshwater rivers of north New South Wales to south Queensland. Myxus elongatus inhabits in temperate waters of Australia, Lord Howe Island and Norfolk Island. Gracilimugil argenteus is limited to southern coasts of Australia from Cardwell in Queensland to Geraldton in Western Australia and Paramugil georgii is confined to temperate and tropical coastal waters of Australia. Aldrichtta forsteri is restricted to temperate waters of Australia and New Zealand. The most diversity in Australian mullets is observed in tropical waters of north Queensland, Northern Territory and north Western Australia. Liza macrolepis occurs in the waters of north and north-east Australia. There is no record of Neomyxus leuciscus, Cestraeus spp., Liza affinis, Valamugil speigleri and Valamugil perusii in Australian Waters.

Full textThis study investigates how group size of Indo‐Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) changes temporally, spatially, and/or with predominant behavior at two discreet sites along the Eastern Cape coastline of South Africa: Algoa Bay and the Wild Coast. The mean group size of bottlenose dolphins was large with an average of 52 animals. Significantly larger groups were observed in Algoa Bay ( = 60, range = 1–600) than off the Wild Coast ( = 32.9, range = 1–250). In Algoa Bay, the mean group size increased significantly over the study period, from an average 18 animals in 2008 to 76 animals in 2016. Additionally, the largest average and maximum group sizes ever reported both in South Africa and worldwide, were recorded in Algoa Bay (maximum group size = 600). Neither season nor behavior had a significant effect on mean group size at both sites. Similarly environmental variables such as the depth and substrate type also had no influence on group size. It remains unclear which ecological drivers, such as predation risk and food availability, are leading to the large groups observed in this area, and further research on abundance and distribution of both predators and prey is necessary.

Full textA investigação veterinária é apenas uma das vertentes do impacto que zoos e aquários exercem na conservação, uma área em que os médicos veterinários têm um papel relativamente recente, mas cuja importância foi já comprovada. A análise pormenorizada em ambiente controlado permite desenvolver um conhecimento clínico que não seria possível através da observação em meio selvagem. O golfinho-roaz, sendo o mamífero marinho mais popularmente mantido em cativeiro em todo o mundo, é por isso também o mamífero marinho mais estudado, o que traz incontáveis benefícios quer para os animais mantidos em cativeiro, quer para os animais em estado selvagem que necessitem de cuidados médico-veterinários. O golfinho-roaz-do-Indo-Pacífico, por seu lado, é já uma espécie sobre a qual já não se possui tanta informação, sendo que a categorização da Lista Vermelha da IUCN só foi atualizada em julho de 2019, passando de “Data Deficient” para “Near Threatened”. O objetivo deste relatório de estágio é descrever a espécie, as considerações a ter para o bem-estar destes animais sob cuidado humano e aprofundar o conhecimento relativo à curva de crescimento de Tursiops aduncus, através da apresentação de um estudo preliminar.
Veterinary research is just one of the several aspects that zoos and aquariums work on regarding conservation, an area where veterinarians have a relatively recent but already with proven importance. The detailed analysis of the animal in a controlled environment allows us to develop clinical knowledge that would not be possible to obtain by wildlife observation. The bottlenose dolphin, being the most popular marine mammal kept in captivity worldwide, is for that reason also the most well-studied. This brings uncountable benefits either for the animals kept in captivity, either for the wild animals that may need veterinary care. The Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin, in its turn, is a species where the information is scarce comparing to the common bottlenose dolphin. Matter of fact, the IUCN’s Red List of Endangered Animals only updated the status of conservation of Tursiops aduncus in July 2019, changing from “Data Deficient” to “Near Threatened”. The main purpose of this report is to document the most important facts on the species, their management under human care and neonatal care of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins, and hopefully to contribute to increase knowledge regarding growth curves in Tursiops aduncus, presenting a preliminary study.

Cephalopoda can be divid into four orders: Nautilida, Sepiida, Teuthida and Octopoda. The creatures in Cephalopoda including nautilus, squids, cuttlefishes, octopus etc. In the past decedes, the fishery landing of cephalopods is getting increase which reflecting the increase of human population and the needed for animal proteins. Therefore, it is important to understand the population genetic structure in order to establish an effcieint stategy for fishery resources management. Most researchs were focus on the commercial important squids while the research for cuttlefishes is limitted. The pharaoh cuttlefish, Sepia pharaonis Ehrenberg, 1831, is a commercially species found from East Africa to Japan. Previous morphological and genetic works suggested that S. pharaonis is a species complex, but phylogenetic relationships within the complex remained unresolved. To clarify these relationships, this study have download the COI (cytochrome oxidase subunit I) sequences over 60 specimens from NCBI from throughout the range of S. pharaonis. We have also added three Sepia lycidas and two Sepia aculeata sequences data as outgroup. Molecular Phylogenetic analyses of the dataset revealed a monophyletic S. pharaonis complex consisting of at least seven clades, including a Red Sea clade, a north Australia clade, a Persian Gulf clade, a west Pacific clade, a east Indian Ocean clade a Philippines Clade and a Mozambique clade. Phylogenetic relationships suggested that Mozambique clade is the most ancestral clade for S. pharaonis species complex, Red Sea Clade is genetically closer to the Australia clade; Persian Gulf, west Pacific and east Indian Ocean clades are also closer with the support of 94-100% bootstraps value. Two S. pharaonis specimens, which were collected from China (HQ846149, HQ846150), were found to be a member of the Red Sea clade and Persian Gulf clade, respectively, suggesting the possibility of fishery product importation or came from distant fishery. One specimen of Sepia gibba from Israel is also the member of S. pharaonis complex, suggesting the possibility of species misidentification. We suggest that ‘S. pharaonis’ may consist of several cryptic species, but morphological work is needed to clarify species-level taxonomy within this complex. Most clades have high haplotype diversity and high nucleotide diversity except Australia and West Pacific clades, which have low nucleotide diversity, suggesting the possibility of population expansion of S. pharaonis in Pacific. However, the mismatch distribution and neutrality test suggested that Australia and East Indian Ocean clades might have experienced historical population expansion during the recent evolutionary history. These discordance in different historical demographic tests may reflex the small sample size and therefore only for reference.

Full textTropical cyclones (TCs) pose a significant risk to the nations and territories of the southwest Pacific (SWP) (0°-35°S, 135°E-120°W). Lives, economies and infrastructure are all vulnerable to the impact of TCs, exacerbated by the SWPs isolation, slow economic growth and limited adaptive capacity. While our understanding of TCs in the SWP has improved with time, knowledge gaps remain with respect to better quantifying the link between Indo-Pacific climate variability and SWP TCs. As such, this thesis investigates the role of interannual and interdecadal Indo-Pacific climate processes, including El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO), ENSO Modoki, the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation (IPO) and Indian Ocean sea surface temperature (SST) variability in spatially and temporally modulating SWP tropical cyclogenesis (TC genesis). An initial investigation of SWP TC databases confirms that the South Pacific Enhanced Archive of Tropical Cyclones (SPEArTC) is the most complete repository of TC data for the SWP and as such has been adopted for use throughout this Thesis. Further, no statistical, temporal or spatial evidence was found to discredit the inclusion of SPEArTC data from 1945 for specific applications (which was previously limited from 1970-onwards). The extension of the ‘reliable’ TC record forms an important step in quantifying the impact of interdecadal climate variability on SWP TCs. This in turn increases TC sample size and improves our certainty of any observed relationships between climate variability and SWP TC genesis. Throughout the Thesis, interannual climate variability is shown to significantly modulate the location of SWP TC genesis. For example, the well-known northeast/southwest modulation of TCs by ENSO was confirmed using the longer dataset. Importantly, new insights were also gained in terms of the IPO modulating SWP TC genesis. In particular, IPO positive (negative) epochs were found to result in the modulation of SWP TC genesis towards the northeast (southwest). The phase of the IPO was also found to have a marked impact on multidecadal climate variability, particularly on the relationship between interannual processes (ENSO and ENSO Modoki) and SWP TC genesis, acting to either amplify the effect of the individual driver (during times when modes are ‘in phase’), or dominate the modulation (during ‘out of phase’ combinations). New insights into the influence of Indian Ocean SSTs and the modulation of SWP TC genesis were also found. Anomalously warm (cool) Indian Ocean SSTs were shown to result in the migration of SWP TC genesis towards the east/northeast (south/southwest). While Indian Ocean SST variability is significantly correlated with ENSO, these modulations were also found to occur during ENSO neutral phases. Valuable insights into the combined impact of ENSO and Indian Ocean SST variability on SWP TC genesis are also uncovered, as the phase of ENSO was found to enhance the spatial modulation of individual Indian Ocean driver impacts, or create a hybrid modulation of the two. Finally, a multivariate statistical model is developed to model TC counts in the SWP, western SWP and eastern SWP regions. Using indices indicative of Indo-Pacific climate variability and dynamic/thermodynamic parameters conducive for TC genesis, the model offers a considerable improvement over climatology (up to 37%). Using the model to hindcast SWP TC counts to 1872 uncovered semicentennial oscillations, with 25-35 year cycles of above average TC counts followed by a 20-30 year cycle of below average TC counts. Identification of longer-term TC variability has significant implications for future projections of TC activity. The significant skill of these models also highlights the potential to improve existing TC forecasting tools (both statistical and dynamical forecasting schemes) currently used in the SWP region. Findings from this Thesis emphasize the importance of considering the interactions of both interannual and interdecadal climate processes derived from the Pacific and Indian Ocean regions. These insights may inform and improve quantification of timing, frequency and location of TC genesis which may be used to optimise TC outlooks for the SWP.

Seagrass, as marine angiosperms, plays an important role in coastal ecosystems. Understanding the population connectivity between geographic regions is important for their future restoration. Halophila ovalis is distributed in the Indo- West Pacific and can produce recruits through both asexual and sexual reproduction. The former uses rhizomatous rametes or rhizome fragments to disperse, the latter uses seeds to achieve the purpose of expanding their population. Since it’s fruits and seeds have negative buoyance and the seeds of H. ovalis could pass through the digestive tract of waterfowls and lead to higher germination rates than un-ingested controls. Therefore, biological vectors (i.e. migratory birds) may be a possible mechanism for long-distance dispersal. In this study, we collected 625 samples from 23 sites to understand the population connectivity of H. ovalis in the Indo-West Pacific. ITS and microsatellite loci were used to barcode and reveal the population connectivity pattern, respectively. According to the result, 432 samples of H. ovalis from 17 sites were used in this study. High level genetic diversity was found within 17 populations. The results of FST analysis showed that significant genetic differentiation was found among H. ovalis populations in the Indo- West Pacific. The results of STRUCTURE analysis showed that most of H. ovalis populations in the Indo- West Pacific possess unique genetic composition. Indicate that the gene flow between H. ovalis populations in the Indo- West Pacific is limited, therefore, long-distance dispersal by migratory birds is unlikely the main mechanism for shaping their connectivity pattern, and we suggest at least three cryptic species may occur within its distribution.
