Marine Zoology - Science topic

A demanda por divulgação científica vem crescendo nos últimos anos e com isso, novos paradigmas são necessários para propagar o conhecimento sobre a zoologia marinha para com a academia e outros setores da sociedade. Nesse sentido, a ideia do guia surgiu partir de uma demanda interna do laboratório por identificação das espécies incrustantes em tra...

Some points related to the impacts (either negative or positive) caused by jellyfish(scyp homedusae) are briefly presented. Although medusae cause several negative impacts, they also have a positive side. It is argued that jellyfish blooms are becoming more frequent in areas where anthropogenic impacts are higher. Human perceptions of jellyfish nee...

The nudibranch genus Dendronotus Alder et Hancock, 1845 is a common component of boreal and arctic ecosystems, which has recently received a considerable attention due to its high cryptic diversity. Here we describe a new species Dendronotus shpataki sp. nov. from the northwestern Sea of Japan, using the material and observations provided by Andrey...

Purpose Aquaculture is the best alternative to fulfil global fish demand, however it still relies heavily on fisheries-derived products for aquafeeds production. This study assesses and compares the environmental impacts of producing four experimental diets to gilthead seabream with different dietary protein (P) to carbohydrate (CH) ratios (P50/CH1...

While increasing awareness about ocean-related topics is a matter of urgent necessity, ocean and coastal-literate schoolchildren are uncommon in Brazil, even in coastal cities. In the present study, we report the activities of an environmental education project spanning a 3-year period in São Vicente, a city surrounded by marine habitats in the sou...

Soft corals (Alcyonacea) and gorgonians or sea fans (Gorgonacea), together belonging to the Octocorallia, play a prominent role for other organisms on tropical coral reefs, where they act as hosts for snails, crabs and fish. These symbiotic species use their hosts as food source or as a shelter against predators. Either way, their appearance and li...

Natural history museums house botanical and zoological collections, often including specimens from centuries ago. These collections are becoming increasingly important for historical ecological research on the effects of global change and human impact on marine biota. Collections can also include specimens that represent expansions of currently kno...

A teacher network was formed at an Australian university in order to better promote interdisciplinary student learning on the complex social-environmental problem of climate change. Rather than leaving it to students to piece together disciplinary responses, eight teaching academics collaborated on the task of exposing students to different types o...

Pour expliquer l'histoire des laboratoires de zoologie maritime du Portel, il faut remonter au laboratoire de Wimereux d'Alfred Giard. En 1870 il existe peu de laboratoires de zoologie marine (ou maritime) sur les côtes françaises. Suivant l'exemple de son patron Henri de Lacaze Duthiers qui a fondé la station zoologique de Roscoff en 1872, Alfred...

The use of video demonstrations of practical techniques prior to laboratory or fieldwork classes may better prepare students for teaching sessions. The literature, however, indicates that the benefits to learning from realistic dynamic visualisations are dependent on the nature of the task being learnt and on the level of prior understanding of the...

First and foremost I am a shell collector and not a professional taxonomist. I am and have always been attracted to the aesthetic beauty of shells - their shapes, textures, and colors. I began collecting shells as a young boy almost 40 years ago, when I innocently picked up a shell on the beach in Santa Barbara, California. Shortly thereafter I got...

In this paper, we attempt to shed light on a probable cause of cultural change via a new avenue of approach. In brief, the paper represents a micro-study that addresses the Ahrensburgian culture group during the close of the Late Palaeolithic in north central Europe, and its relationship to the Hensbacka group found in central Bohuslän on the coast...

Trichoplax adhaerens is the only recognized species from the phylum Placozoa described up to now. It was discovered in 1883 by Schulze in a seawater aquarium at the Graz Zoological Institute in Austria. The water in the aquarium came from the Adriatic Sea (Italy). The interest sparked by finding this organism and the possibility of clarifying the o...

Nine species of psychrolutids kept in the Marine Zoology of Hokkaido University were found to carry eight species of copepod parasites. The parasites and their hosts are: Bobkabata kabatabobbus Hogans and Benz, 1990 on Malacocottus zonurus Bean; Chondracanthus parvus n. sp. on Eurymen gyrinus Gilbert and Burke; Chondracanthus yabei n. sp. on Dasyco...

INTRODUCTION The study here described is currently being conducted by a European research team (Department of Animal Health and Welfare, Univ. of Bari, Italy; CEFAS Lowestoft, Suffolk, UK; IEO Malaga, Spain; Department of Zoology -- Marine Biology, Univ. of Athens, Greece; Planetek Italia, Bari, Italy), in the framework of the European Community pr...

Because of its shallowness and tidal nature, the Wadden Sea is an extreme, variable and unpredictable environment. The species composition of the benthic invertebrate fauna differs markedly from that of the North Sea, from which the Wadden is separated by a series of barrier islands: there is an abundant occurrence of a limited number of coastal an...

One of the main problems encountered in studying the mites, or Acari, of New Zealand is the scattered nature of the literature on the group, much of that on taxonomy occurring in a wide range of European publications. This paper gives the species known from the New Zealand Subregion, together with an extensive bibliography covering all aspects of t...

The modern scientific disciplines of marine biology and oceanography did not emerge until the twentieth century. Their historical antecedents are embedded in the natural history tradition, European global explorations and scientific-educational reforms of the late nineteenth century. As new institutions dedicated to the marine sciences emerged arou...

Three Goodsir brothers, John, Henry (“Harry”) and Robert, from Fife, Scotland, all shared an early interest in marine zoology in the early 1800s. They all went on to receive medical training, with the eldest brother, John, eventually becoming Professor of Anatomy in the University of Edinburgh. John's primary claim to biological fame rests on his c...

Capturing underwater images can be considered as form of art and collecting data of underwater environment which plays major role in the field of marine biology research, marine zoology and ecology study. It also plays a significant role in scientific missions such as analyzing marine life species, taking census of population and monitoring underwa...

This chapter opens part 1 of the book, “Theorizing on the Move,” by examining three major contexts or sources for Darwin’s ambition as a prospective naturalist. First, it describes the existence of a well-known and consequential scientific puzzle to which he would eventually offer a new answer: how were coral reefs formed? This question was of grea...

Thousands of invertebrates and fishes were collected and preserved throughout the Maurit surveys, and are currently part of the biological reference collections of the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO). Almost 800 specimens (567 lots of 365 species) have already been catalogued in the Marine Fauna Collection (IEO Málaga, Spain), and 250 speci...

L’effet Trembley ou la naissance de la zoologie marine was the title of an exhibition organised by the “Bibliothèque de Genève” (6 October 2010-15 January 2011) and directed by Marc J. Ratcliff. Worthy of special mention is the rich iconography of the catalogue, as well as the introduction where Ratcliff reconstructs the history of the relationship...

I have to congratulate the Society on the re-appointment to our Presidential Chair of Lord Kelvin, first of British Physicists. Five years ago, as you are aware, Lord Kelvin became President of the Royal Society of London, at the urgent request of that body. This is not the first time, I may remind you, that we have provided a President for the Lon...

Charles Darwin’s attention to geography has been widely noticed for its influence on his evolutionary theories, and many historians have pointed toward the Beagle voyage (1831-1836) as one source of his geographical sensibility. However, historians have previously offered little insight into the specific ways in which Darwin’s extended interaction...

Distribution of birds, mammals, fishes, and other forms of animal life common to the Antarctic region are discussed briefly. These include the emperor and Adelie penguins, and the south polar skua, which species are considered indigenous to the area. Other bird species which either nest or spend considerable time in the region are mentioned. The fo...

Commensalism and microbiome: instability of a biological association Microbiome is a concept developed during the twenty first century, theorized as the same concept as the genome. It consists in the knowledge of all the genes of the bacteria in the human being. For the genome, it is the sequencing of all the genes of the human being himself. With...

The area lying between the north of Britain and the Faeröe Islands is classical in the annals of Marine Zoology, not only from the fact that the first systematic deep-sea investigations undertaken by this country were carried out there, but also from the number of new and remarkable types of animal life which have been first found in that region. S...

At a time when Europe was engaged in the War of Austrian succession, an unknown scholar, Abraham Trembley, managed to dramatically influence the course of the Natural Sciences. He focused his interest not only on the properties of a new organism, the polyp later named Hydra, and its freshwater environment, but also on the communication of his disco...

The impact of the works of Pierre-Joseph Van Beneden (1809-1894) on commensalism: issues and outlooks Commensalism is a kind of biological association between two different species. One species gets an advantage whereas the other one gets no advantage neither disadvantage. Interpreting observations in marine zoology, Pierre-Joseph Van Beneden (1809...

The community concept has had a long, complex history in plant and animal ecology. Divergent views about the nature of communities have been most marked in plant ecology: the Zurich–Montpellier school regarded plant communities as largely abstract, based on a mosaic of vegetation, whereas the Uppsala school and other northern plant ecologists regar...

Oscar Wilde's "Lord Arthur Savile's Crime: A Story of Cheiromancy" (1887) has been praised as a parody of a murder mystery. It could also be called a black comedy about the importance of palm readers. Wilde wrote this story when palmistry was a craze and Edward Heron-Allen, friend to Wilde, was a celebrated scholar-practitioner of the ancient scien...

Edward Heron-Allen was a remarkable man but his name is rarely remembered today, except by the members of the modest society that commemorates him and his achievements. Born in 1861, he lived until 1943 and his last entry in Who's Who listed his interests as ‘Persian literature; Marine Zoology; Meteorology; Heraldry; Bibliography; Occasional Essays...

This book began life as a series of lectures given to second and third year undergraduates at Oxford University. These lectures were designed to give students insights as to how marine ecosystems functioned, how they were being affected by natural and human interventions, and how we might be able to conserve them and manage them sustainably for the...

St. Andrews as a site for the study of marine animals has a reputation probably at least as ancient as the foundation of its University (the oldest Scottish, viz. 1411), for amongst the early records of the latter allusion is made to the marvels of the sea and its inhabitants as a means for improving the minds of its students. For a long time, howe...

The object of this paper on the Danish zoologist Henrik Krøyer is to show, from archival evidence, that he is a good example of a person who practised international communication between scientists, especially from Denmark and Germany, in the field of natural science during the 19th century. As an explorer, whose very interesting diaries are preser...

Théodore Monod (1902-2000), of the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris, was a natural scientist with an extraordinarily wide range of interests and expertise. His early researches were chiefly in marine zoology, which he continued to pursue throughout his career. However, in 1923 he began to work in the Sahara Desert and travelled through...

In his 1851 novel Moby-Dick Herman Melville wrote that "to landsmen in general, the native inhabitants of the seas have ever been regarded with emotions unspeakably unsocial and repelling" ([Barnes and Noble, 1994] 275). The ocean, to Melville, was anti-human as well as unknown and unknowable, an "everlasting terra incognita" made up of "numberless...

In 1987, a small group of students that included me had a summer field course in marine zoology on Putyatin Island, situated not far from Vladivostok. We spent most of the time performing vital observations and dissecting and drawing various specimens of the local marine fauna, some of which were then fixed in formalin for future examination. After...

En la presente Tesis se realiza un abordaje multidisciplinar sobre la biología reproductora y ecología de estas especie marino en el bentos rocoso de Canarias.

Two species of the hippolytid genus Heptacarpus, H. maxillipes (Rathbun, 1902) and H. moseri (Rathbun, 1902), both of which have been known mainly from the eastern Pacific Ocean including the Bering Sea, are recorded from Japan for the first time on the basis of specimens collected from the Pacific coast of northern Japan. The identification was co...

El pulpo comun(Octopus vulgaris, Cuvier 1797) presenta una dieta eminentemente carnivora basada en peces, crustaceos y moluscos. El canibalismo juega un papel importante en la misma, acentuandose durante los periodos proximos a la reproduccion. La reproduccion ocurre a lo largo de todo el año, aunque se presentan dos estaciones bien definidas, prim...
