Based on records dating from 1859 to 2021, we provide an overview of the marine animal diversity reported for Galiano Island, British Columbia, Canada. More than 650 taxa are represented by 20,000 species occurrence records in this curated dataset, which includes dive records documented through the Pacific Marine Life Surveys, museum voucher specim...
Two new species of Aricidea Webster, 1879 (Paraonidae), Aricidea (Acmira) anusakdii sp. nov. and Aricidea (Aricidea) thammapinanae sp. nov. were collected from 10–26.5 m depth, in shallow soft bottoms with mud mixed with sand and shell substrates at Songkhla Sea, the Gulf of Thailand between 2011–2018. Aricidea (Acmira) anusakdii sp. nov. is clearl...
The cyclopoid copepod family Bradophilidae includes a few species of mesoparasitic copepods infecting flabelligerid polychaetes. It contains two species of Bradophila Levinsen, 1878, the type genus: B. pygmaea Levinsen, 1878 and B. minuta Boxshall, O’Reilly, Sikorski & Summerfield, 2019, both known from North Europe. Two other genera (i.e., Trophon...
In 1989, Donald Reish hosted the 3rd International Polychaete Conference (IPC3) in Long Beach, on the campus of California State University Long Beach. In 2015 he asked one of us (Bruno Pernet) if it might be possible to bring IPC13 back to Long Beach, thirty years later. Bruno assembled a planning committee consisting of himself and Christine Whit...

The spionid polychaete Boccardia proboscidea Hartman, 1940 is a tube-dweller and shell/stone-borer widely occurring in temperate waters across the world and considered invasive in many areas. It was originally described from California, USA, and later reported from Pacific Canada, the Asian Pacific, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, South Africa,...

The capitellid polychaete genus Dodecaseta McCammon & Stull, 1978 is relocated in Notodasus Fauchald, 1972. Two species are redescribed based on examination of type material and three new combinations are proposed: Notodasus oraria (McCammon & Stull, 1978), N. eibyejacobseni (Green, 2002). N. fauchaldi (Green, 2002). N. kristiani (García-Garza et a...
The serpulid annelid Ficopomatus enigmaticus is found as a non-indigenous species in many subtropical and temperate habitats, where it often has major effects on the physical structure and community ecology of invaded habitats. In the northeastern Pacific, it has been present in northern California since about 1920, but clearly established populati...
Making inferences about the evolution of larval nutritional mode and feeding mechanisms in annelids requires data on the form and function of the larvae, but such data are lacking for many taxa. Though some capitellid annelids are known or suspected to have planktotrophic larvae, these larvae have not previously been described in sufficient detail...
Polychaete specimens from Hawaii were infected by the copepod Monstrilla. The development of these protelean parasites has remained unstudied for more than a century. Three postnaupliar endoparasitic stages were obtained: copepodids CIII, CIV, and CV, the latter stage found previous to and during emergence. Copepodid development, including the body...
Since 2000, five rapid assessment surveys have been conducted in New England. These surveys focus on recording species at marinas, which often are in close proximity to transportation vectors (i.e., recreational boats). Species are collected from floating docks and piers because these structures are accessible regardless of the tidal cycle. Another...
The hesionid polychaete genera Oxydromus Grube, 1855 and Ophiodromus Sars, 1862 have been regarded as synonyms with the former considered as invalid since it was thought to be a junior homonym of Oxydromus Schlegel, 1854. However, Schlegel's name is an incorrect subsequent spelling for Ocydromus Wagler, 1830 (Aves, Gruiformes, Rallidae) and is not...
Redescriptions of Notomastus hemipodus and N. tenuis are provided based on the examination of type specimens and supplemental material. Details of important morphological characters such as epithelial texture, lateral organs, genital pores, shape of the hooded hooks, and methyl green stain pattern are provided for both species. The two species, wid...
Four taxa of terebellines with problematic taxonomic histories are redescribed. One is a new species that has been misidentified for the last 37 years and one is allocated to a different genus from that to which it was previously assigned. Pista corrientis McIntosh, 1885 was described from Argentina and has been reported from several localities alo...
Parasabella Bush, 1905 is reintroduced as a replacement name for Demonax Kinberg, 1867 (Annelida: Polychaeta: Sabellidae) which is a junior homonym of Demonax Thomson, 1860 (Insecta: Coleoptera: Cerambycidae).
ABSTRACT: A non-native bryozoan, Schizoporella errata, forms extensive patches of free-living balls and reef-like structures (bryoliths) on the mudflats in south San Francisco Bay, California. The ball-like bryoliths range from 2 to 20 cm in diameter, and the reef-like structures can be nearly 1 m across. While S. errata is known to form bryoliths...

Two species ( P. ver...
In recent decades, the world has witnessed an array of harmful invasions by exotic marine organisms. To provide the public
and policymakers with better information on the status of exotic species in southern California waters, and to assess differences
between port and non-port areas, a Rapid Assessment Survey of selected habitat types in sheltered...
The Asian kelp Undaria pinnatifida was discovered in southern California in the spring of 2000, and by the summer of 2001 had been collected at several California sites from Los Angeles to Long Beach Harbors and Catalina Island as far north as Monterey Harbor. From its native range in the northwestern Pacific, Undaria has now been introduced to the...
During the 1990 Cordell Expedition to Rocas Alijos, numerous general collections of invertebrates in aggregate were made. While polychaetes were not deliberately targeted, large numbers of these worms were present in the collections. Several lots of aggregates were received by the author in 1990, from which five lots of polychaetes were separated,...
The macroinfauna at depths 30April 1989, c. two months after an oil spill that resulted from the grounding of the BahiaParaiso. Stations consisted of the oil-spill site and a comparable control location, and two historical sites previously sampled in 1971. The historical sites were located at two distinct points along a known continuum of increasin...

This project is centered around discovering and documenting the diversity of Southern California marine invertebrates, using genetic barcoding as a core tool.
For most of the estimated 3,000–5,000 marine macroinvertebrate species in the shallow waters of Southern California, genetic barcode sequences have not been deposited in the "Barcode of Life" (BOLD) database. With new collections and coordinating the work of collaborators, we plan to fill in that portion of the BOLD repository.
In parallel, we are also working with collaborators to develop and optimize whole-community and eDNA approches that can be applied directly to marine monitoring and ecological research.
By both filling in the genetic barcode library and bringing high-throughput whole-community and eDNA analysis into routine use, we will create research and monitoring tools that will enormously facilitate our ability to discover and investigate the marine invertebrate biodiversity of California’s nearshore waters.
