DELL’ANGELO, BRUNO, SANDRO GORI, LEONARDO BASCHIERI, and ANTONIO BONFITTO. "Chitons (Mollusca, Polyplacophora) from the Maldive islands." Zootaxa 2673, no. 1 (November 10, 2010): 1. http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.2673.1.1.

Abstract:

This paper is the first comprehensive and illustrated account of living Polyplacophora from the Maldive Islands. The only important previous contribution is that of E.A. Smith (1903), describing eight species. We determined 15 species sourced from 24 sampling sites, mainly at a depth of 20–40 meters, represented by 19 living specimens and 1112 valves. Only nine species (Parachiton hylkiae mauricejayi, Ischnochiton albinus, Ischnochiton sp., Rhyssoplax maldivensis, Tegulaplax hululensis, Lucilina sp., Acanthochitona penicillata, Craspedochiton cf. laqueatus, Cryptoplax burrowi) are represented by living specimens, the others by separate valves (Callochiton clausadeae, Lucilina perligera, L. carnosa, Acanthochitona sp., Craspedochiton sp., Cryptoplax sykesi), three of them (Lucilina perligera, Acanthochitona sp., Craspedochiton sp.) by only one or two valves. We did not find four of the species previously reported for the Maldives, i.e. Ischnochiton feliduensis, Callochiton platessa, Squamopleura miles and Schizochiton incisus. The specimen collected by J.S. Gardiner, and reported in Smith (1903) as Callochiton platessa Gould, has been studied, and it is not possible to attribute to any of the other Callochiton species from the Indian Ocean. It thus remains undetermined as Callochiton sp., and Callochiton platessa Gould must be deleted from the list of chiton species living in the Maldive Islands. The holotype of Ischnochiton feliduensis (the only specimen known) is illustrated to provide a complete and exhaustive survey of all the 19 chiton species now known from the Maldive Islands. Two species from other localities, Squamopleura miles and Schizochiton incisus, also are illustrated. The type material of Craspedochiton laqueatus and Cryptoplax burrowi has been examined. Eleven species are reported for the first time for the Maldives: Parachiton hylkiae mauricejayi, Ischnochiton albinus, Ischnochiton sp., Callochiton clausadeae, Lucilina perligera, L. carnosa, Lucilina sp., Acanthochitona penicillata, Acanthochitona sp., Craspedochiton sp. and Cryptoplax sykesi.

Abstract:

A census of scleractinian species was carried out in 2002 and 2003 in the atolls of South Male, Felidhu, Wataru and Ari, in the central Maldives. Thirty four stations were surveyed by scuba diving between the depths of 0 and 50m. One hundred and eighty zooxanthellate coral species belonging to 51 genera were recorded, of which 17 species belonging to 14 genera are new records for the Maldives. A complete list of zooxanthellate scleractinian species including our own results as well as documented records published by previous authors is given. This list includes 248 species belonging to 57 genera. The taxonomic status of a number of species of doubtful validity cited by previous authors is discussed. The need for additional sampling throughout the entire Maldive Archipelago and for a re-examination of Gardiner’s material is stressed.

Abstract:

A biodiversity survey carried out from 2016 to 2018 by the Department of Science and Technology in the Lakshadweep Atolls, India, recorded six species of shallow-water feather stars new to the archipelago (Comanthus wahlbergii, Comaster schlegelii, Himerometra robustipinna, Dichrometra palmata, Stephanometra indica, and Phanogenia typica). Himerometra sol A.H. Clark, 1912, previously known only from the Maldive Islands, is synonymized under Himerometra robustipinna (Carpenter, 1881). This study brings the total number of shallow-water crinoids recorded from Lakshadweep to ten species. Of the four species collected previously from the archipelago, only Comatella nigra was found in this survey. Of those not collected, Comatella stelligera and Oligometra serripinna are widespread in the Indo-western Pacific region, whereas Heterometra compta is known only from Lakshadweep, and its validity remains uncertain. The known shallow-water crinoid fauna of the archipelago is substantially less diverse than that of the adjacent and environmentally similar Maldive Islands, emphasizing the need for additional research in this island group, in particular, to determine whether the differences are actual or not, and whether they are based on natural conditions versus anthropogenic impacts.

Abstract:

The Chagos-Laccadiv Range is a linear-elongated structure adjacent to the passive margin of western India. The ridge consists of three segments: northern — Lakkadiv ridge, central — Maldives ridge and southern — bank (archipelago) Chagos. The ridges are separated by depressions and have different manifestations in morphology and anomalous gravitational field. Modeling of the density structure of the Chagos-Lakkadive Ridge tectonosphere showed that the Lakkadive and Maldive segments, most likely, represent submerged blocks of thinned continental crust, partially separated from the continental margin of India by a riftogenic basin. Along with the assumption that the Chagos Bank may contain fragments of the continental crust, the main factor in its formation is apparently the active magmatic activity of the Reunion hot spot, leading to an increase in the thickness of the crust due to underplating. Physical modeling showed that the formation of such a linear structure is possible in the presence of thermal (hot spot) and structural (faults and cracks) inhomogeneities in the model continental lithosphere, which within the continental margin led to a jump (jumping) of the spreading axis towards the young margin and partial separation from it narrow linearly elongated microblocks (ridges).

Abstract:

Abstract:In the tropical Indian Ocean, the Maldive Islands lack surface freshwater, so are unsuitable for dragonfly reproduction. Nevertheless, millions of dragonflies (Insecta, Odonata; mostly globe skimmer, Pantala flavescens) appear suddenly every year starting in October. Arrival dates in the Maldives and India demonstrate that the dragonflies travel from southern India, a distance of some 500–1000 km. Dates of arrival and occurrence coincide with the southward passage of the Inter-tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). Circumstantial evidence suggests that the dragonflies fly with north-easterly tail winds, within and behind the ITCZ, at altitudes over 1000 m. It is proposed that this massive movement of dragonflies is part of an annual migration across the western Indian Ocean from India to East Africa. Arrival dates in the Seychelles support this hypothesis. Dragonflies also appear (in smaller numbers) in the Maldives in May, with the onset of the southwest monsoon, suggesting a possible return migration from Africa. These proposed migrations of dragonflies, regularly crossing 3500 km or more of open ocean, were previously unknown. It is known that these dragonflies exploit ephemeral rain pools for reproduction; the monsoons and ITCZ bring not only alternating, seasonal rains to India and Africa, but also appropriate winds for dragonflies to follow those rains. Several bird species migrate from India across the western Indian Ocean to wintering grounds in Africa. They do so at the same time as the dragonflies, presumably taking advantage of the same seasonal tail winds. Many of these birds also eat dragonflies; the possible significance of this was not previously appreciated.

Abstract:

The distribution of mass in the Arabian Sea during the southwest monsoon season, 1963 is presented through several vertical sections and spatial distribution charts of the thermosteric anomaly. The circulation patterns in the upper 200 m are derived. The basic feature of circulation is found to be the formation of several cyclonic and anti-cyclonic cells. Upwelling off the southwest coast of India has been explained on a more rational basis than has been assumed hitherto. It is now attributed partly due to the divergence in the current field and partly due to the cyclonic motion around Laccadive and Maldive Island.

Abstract:

For centuries, malaria kept European colonial interests away from the Maldive islands, leaving the remote Indian Ocean island chain on a distinct and largely self-governed trajectory. Successful mosquito eradication in the twentieth century paved the way for development. The COVID-19 pandemic posed a new challenge to the economy, which is now heavily dependent on tourism. But resorts were able to reopen relatively quickly, since they are mostly set up on islands apart from those inhabited by local communities. The nation also has proved adept at finding ways to make tourism compatible with Muslim traditions, though imported harder-line Islamic ideology has raised tensions in recent years. Now the islanders must manage their entanglements with rival regional powers, as China and India compete to provide infrastructure.

Abstract:

Internal tides play a crucial role in ocean mixing. To explore the seasonal features of mode-1 M2 internal tides in the Arabian Sea, we analyzed their propagation and energy distribution using along-track sea-level anomaly data collected by satellite altimeters. We identified four primary source regions of internal tides: Abd al Kuri Island, the Carlsberg Ridge, the northeastern Arabian Sea, and the Maldive Islands. The baroclinic signals that originate from Abd al Kuri Island propagate meridionally, whereas those originating from the west coast of India propagate southwestward. The strength and energy flux of the internal tides in the Arabian Sea exhibit significant seasonal and spatial variability. The internal tides generated during winter are more energetic and can propagate further than those generated in summer. Doppler shifting and horizontal variations in stratification can explain the differences in the internal tides’ seasonal distributions.

Abstract:

Abstract Using satellite telemetry, we studied the postbreeding movements of Great (Fregata minor) and Magnificent Frigatebirds (F. magnificens) at two breeding colonies in the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. After breeding failure, 67% of the birds with satellite transmitters remained on the breeding colonies and continued to perform foraging trips similar to those undertaken while breeding. Two Magnificent Frigatebirds that bred at a colony off the coast of French Guiana moved west along the coast of South America, and one of the two reached Trinidad 1400 km away. One Great Frigatebird moved 4400 km from Europa Island in the Mozambique Channel to the Maldive Islands. It roosted there for at least four months, making foraging trips of up to 240 km, mainly to an area known for its high concentration of tuna. These results show that frigatebirds are able to make rapid and directed long-distance dispersal movements to other colonies or roosting sites, although the majority of birds remain based on breeding colonies.

Full text

Abstract:

The present paper is a by-product of a recently completed study of the impact of the Atlantic slave trade in the West African ‘Slave Coast’ (roughly, the modern Republic of Bénin). One of the most striking features of the operation of the European trade in this region was the prominence among the commodities imported of cowry shells (brought ultimately from the Maldive Islands in the Indian Ocean), which were used locally as a currency. Assessment of the impact of the European trade obviously requires detailed empirical study of the operation of this cowry currency, and in particular of the question of whether the massive importation of cowries which it involved led to significant depreciation of their local value. A more extended treatment of this subject is in preparation. Although there is a great deal of contemporary documentation of the prices of various commodities in local markets between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, this evidence presents considerable problems of interpretation and evaluation. This paper deals with these methodological issues, in the belief that they may be potentially illuminating for the study of other areas than the Slave Coast.

Abstract:

Skipjack (SJT) ( Katsuwonus pelamis ) is a medium-sized, pelagic, highly dispersive tuna species that occurs widely across tropical and subtropical waters. SJT constitute the largest tuna fishery in the Indian Ocean and are currently managed as a single stock. Patterns of genetic variation in a mtDNA gene and six microsatellite loci were examined to test for stock structure in the northwestern Indian Ocean. 324 individuals were sampled from five major fishing grounds around Sri Lanka and from single sites in the Maldive Islands and the Laccadive Islands. Phylogenetic reconstruction of mtDNA revealed two coexisting divergent clades in the region. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) of mtDNA data revealed significant genetic differentiation among sites (ΦST = 0.2029, P < 0.0001), also supported by spatial AMOVA results. AMOVA of microsatellite data also showed significant differentiation among most sampled sites (FST = 0.0256, P < 0.001), consistent with the mtDNA pattern. STRUCTURE analysis of the microsatellite data revealed two differentiated stocks. While both marker types examined identified two genetic groups, microsatellite analysis indicates that the sampled SJT are likely to represent individuals sourced from discrete breeding grounds that are mixed in feeding grounds in Sri Lankan waters.

Abstract:

A simple wind driven ocean circulation model with one active layer is used to simulate the coastal circulation around India. The close agreement of numerical results to that of the observed fields ind1cate the influence of wind on the coastal circulation. The northward currents along the west coast of India during winter months are dominated by remote forcing from Bay of Bengal; however the southward currents during summer months are less influenced by the remote forcing. The coastaly trapped Kelvin waves which give rise to the remote forcing response are found to be produced by the annual cycle in the local wind of the Bay of Bengal. Equatorial waves do not provide the correct phase of west coast circulation. The island chains of Maldive and Laccadive do not affect the model circulation significantly. But the exclusion of Sri Lanka from the model geometry significantly alters the circulation of southwestern Bay of Bengal during summer months. Some of these findings are already shown by sophisticated multilayer models, e.g., McCreary et al. 1993. However, some of these results are again reproduced here in order to highlight the significance of such simple model and hence the simple model is used for detail study.

Abstract:

The present study describes species of Exechonella and Actisecos discovered through the examination of recent collections from the Red Sea, coast of Oman and Maldive Islands (Indian Ocean) and the Lizard Island, Australia (Great Barrier Reef, Coral Sea) in comparison with historical collections. Eight species of Exechonella are redescribed: E. grandis (type species), E. ampullacea, E. antillea, E. brasiliensis, E. erinacea, E. pumicosa, E. spinosa and E. verrucosa. Eighteen new species of Exechonella are also described: E. azeezi n. sp., E. catalinae n. sp., E. californiensis n. sp., E. claereboudti n. sp., E. elegantissima n. sp., E. floridiana n. sp., E. harmelini n. sp., E. kleemanni n. sp., E. maldiviensis n. sp. E. nikitai n. sp., E. panamensis n. sp., E. reniporosa n. sp., E. rimopora n. sp., E. safagaensis n. sp., E. similis n. sp., E. variperforata n. sp. E. vavrai n. sp. and E. vieirai n. sp. The species studied were grouped in five species complexes. Additionally, two species from the genus Actisecos—A. regularis and A. discoidea were redescribed. The current revision highlights a number of important taxonomical, biogeographical and morphological questions that are of the general biological interest. Among thеm is a polyphyletic nature of Cheilostomata possessing umbonuloid frontal shield.

Abstract:

AbstractMarine bugs of the genus Halovelia Bergroth inhabit intertidal coral reefs and rocky coasts along the continents and islands bordering the Red Sea, Indian Ocean, and western Pacific Ocean as well as island groups and atolls in these areas. In Part I of this work, the genus Halovelia was redescribed together with five previously known species; fifteen new species were described. In the present part, two previously known species are redescribed and eight species described as new, all belonging to the H. malaya Esaki-group: H. sulawesi sp.n. (Sulawesi); H. abdominalis sp.n. (Java, West Malaysia); H. nicobarensis sp.n. (Nicobar Islands); H. convexa sp.n. (Maldive Islands); H. poissoni sp.n. (Kenya, Tanzania); H. seychellensis sp.n. (Seychelles, Madagascar); H. depressa sp.n. (Madagascar); and H. mauricensis sp.n. (Mauritius). A key to the species of the H. malaya-group is included. Using the computer programs PAUP and Hennig86, a cladistic analysis of relationships between the species of Halovelia was performed. Other genera of Haloveliinae were used as outgroup taxa. 46 characters (each with 2-4 states) are listed. The cladistic analysis of the character state matrix yields 18 equally parsimonious cladograms, each 155 steps long. The preferred cladogram is evaluated both by characters and by clades. An account is given of the ecology and biology of the coral bugs, chiefly based upon original observations by the author. The distributions of each of the 30 species of Halovelia are mapped and discussed. The historic biogeography of the species is analysed using two different methods of cladistic (or vicariance) biogeography: component and parsimony analysis. Reduced area cladograms are produced for most species-groups as well as a summary cladogram for these groups. The biogeographic history of Halovelia is discussed in the light of these results and compared with the biogeography of other marine Haloveliinae, the marine Gerridae, and other groups of Indo-Pacific animals.

Abstract:

Abstract Routine radiosonde relative humidity (RH) measurements are not reliable as they are presently used in the global upper-air network. The new Lindenberg measuring and evaluation method, which provides RH profile measurements with an accuracy of ±1% RΗ in the temperature range from 35° to −70°C near the tropical tropopause is described. This Standardized Frequencies (FN) method uses a thin-film capacitive polymer sensor of a modified RS90-H Humicap radiosonde. These research humidity reference radiosondes (FN sondes) are used to develop a correction method for operational RS80-A Humicap humidity profiles. All steps of correction and quality control for RS80-A radiosondes are shown: ground-check correction, time-lag and temperature-dependent correction, and the recognition of icing during the ascent. The results of a statistical comparison between FN sondes and RS80-A sondes are presented. Corrected humidity data of operational RS80-A sondes used in Lindenberg (4 times daily) show no bias when compared to FN radiosondes and have an uncertainty of about ±3% RH at the 1 σ or 68% confidence level from 1000 to about 150 hPa. Only a small dry bias of at most −2% RH remains in the lowest part of the boundary layer (up to 500-m height). Finally, some examples of corrected RS80-A RH profiles in cirrus clouds validated by lidar backscattering profiles in a region of the intertropical convergence (Maldive Islands) are demonstrated. The soundings indicate that ice-saturated and ice-supersaturated air above 10-km height were connected with cirrus clouds in all 47 investigated cases, and, second, that the corrected RS80-A RH profiles also provide good quality information on water vapor in the upper troposphere.

Abstract:

Recently, mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as an important tool for high-throughput screening (HTS) providing a direct and label-free detection method, complementing traditional fluorescent and colorimetric methodologies. Among the various MS techniques used for HTS, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) provides many of the characteristics required for high-throughput analyses, such as low cost, speed, and automation. However, visualization and analysis of the large datasets generated by HTS MALDI-MS can pose significant challenges, especially for multiparametric experiments. The datasets can be generated fast, and the complexity of the experimental data (e.g., screening many different sorbent phases, the sorbent mass, and the load, wash, and elution conditions) makes manual data analysis difficult. To address these challenges, a comprehensive informatics tool called MALDIViz was developed. This tool is an R-Shiny-based web application, accessible independently of the operating system and without the need to install any program locally. It has been designed to facilitate easy analysis and visualization of MALDI-MS datasets, comparison of multiplex experiments, and export of the analysis results to high-quality images.
