“…This phylogenetic separation, indicated by a deep split between IWP and AEP clades, is well-documented for corals (Fukami et al 2004), echinoids (Lessios 2001;Lessios et al 1999Lessios et al , 2001Lessios et al , 2003, fishes (Bowen et al 2001;Streelman et al 2002;Floeter et al 2008;Cooper et al 2009), hermit crabs (Malay and Paulay 2010), and molluscs (Meyer 2003(Meyer , 2004Williams and Reid 2004;Ozawa 2004, 2007;Duda and Kohn 2005;Latiolais et al 2006;Williams 2007;Claremont et al 2008;Frey and Vermeij 2008;Reid et al 2008Reid et al , 2010Kirkendale 2009;Malaquias and Reid 2009;Reijnen et al 2010). Paleontological evidence indicates that the split was already evident during the Late Oligocene, before the Tethys seaway linking the two realms was closed in the Early Miocene (19 Ma) and definitively ceased to exist after the Middle Miocene (Langhian, 16 Ma) (Harzhauser et al 2002(Harzhauser et al , 2007Harzhauser 2009).…”

Extralimital traits-evolutionary innovations that represent unprecedented departures from the phenotypic norm in the clade in which they arise-are often thought preferentially to evolve in island-like settings, but accumulating evidence indicates that they also arise in highly diverse, competitively rigorous ecosystems. In order to evaluate the origins of extralimital traits, I reconstructed the history of all ecological and shellmorphological innovations in Miocene to Recent shallow-water molluscs from the two great modern tropical marine realms, the Indo-West Pacific (IWP) and Atlantic-eastern Pacific (AEP), with the expectation that the more diverse IWP would show a higher incidence of innovation. Of the 66 innovations I identified, 53 (80%) are IWP and 13 (20%) are AEP in origin. Data on the numbers of living species in 26 molluscan clades in the two tropical realms indicate that the species ratio (AEP to total number of species 0.32 ± 0.115) exceeds the innovation ratio (AEP to total innovations 0.21). The perspecies frequency of innovation is therefore significantly higher in the IWP. None of the innovations is unique to endemic taxa on oceanic islands. I suggest that warm, large, highly productive environments are more conducive to the establishment of new ecological roles and phenotypic states than are smaller, less productive, more island-like settings; and that diversity need not be correlated with either high productivity or evolutionary opportunity for innovation.

“…nov., and additional ones that are expected to be found during future surveys . Should new fieldwork be organized, it is recommended to search also for cryptic organisms associated with octocorals, such as parasitic gastropods belonging to the Ovulidae (Reijnen et al 2010) and commensal shrimps belonging to the Palaemo-nidae (Snijders & Fransen 2010). The inclusion of symbionts in biodiversity surveys would give a more complete image of the biodiversity.…”

Unforeseen importance of historical collections as baselines to determine biotic change of coral reefs: the Saba Bank case

Botanical and zoological collections may serve as archives for historical ecological research on the effects of global change and human impact on coral reef biota. Museum collections may harbour old specimens of reef‐dwelling species that have become locally extinct. Such collections also help to determine whether early records of invasive species can be obtained from times when they were not yet recognized as such. A case study (2006) involving Saba Bank, Caribbean Netherlands (former Netherlands Antilles), suggests that the coral reef fauna here may have become impoverished when compared with data obtained during an earlier expedition in 1972. However, the 1972 sampling may have been incomplete, as it was performed by professional divers who were not trained taxonomists, whereas the collecting in 2006 was done by experienced marine biologists who knew the taxa they were sampling. As Saba Bank has been under stress due to the anchoring of large vessels, and invasive species have been a potential threat as well, future studies are needed to obtain more insights into the changing reef biota of Saba Bank. Using this Saba Bank example, we want to address the importance of natural history collections as reservoirs of valuable data relevant to coral reef biodiversity studies in a time of global change. As such, these collections are still underexplored and underexploited.

“…As stated in the Distribution sub-section above, the gastropod seems to have been already present in the North Sea for a couple of years. Newer records verify its recent appearance in different North Sea regions (Taekema, 2005;Rowley, 2008;Reijnen et al, 2010;Høisaeter et al, 2011;Schrieken et al, 2011). Since there are no reports from the eastern English Channel and the shallow parts of the southern North Sea, where the water column is mixed during winter and low bottom temperatures reach the seafloor, these are first indications towards its spreading inside the North Sea along currents with warmer Atlantic water.…”

“…In Rowley (2008), X. patula is reported from the east coast of the UK without the time of record-the coordinates were later taken from Schrieken et al (2011). Reijnen et al (2010) report it from the Dutch part of the North Sea, but according to Schrieken et al (2011), these records are from the British exclusive economic zone (EEZ). We suppose them to be the specimens mentioned in Taekema (2005), since the coordinates appear to be the same.…”

“…These findings were confirmed by another detection of one specimen of X. patula on a routine station within the 30 m depth line on the main body of the Dogger Bank. Recently, a number of publications showed actual records of X. patula from diverse areas of the North Sea (Taekema, 2005;Reijnen et al, 2010;Høisaeter et al, 2011;Schrieken et al, 2011). This paper gives an overview of all actual records of this species for the North Sea and reveals a possible link between the changes of local temperatures with the occurrence of this species.…”

The carnivorous gastropod Xandarovula patula is a species being known to mainly occur west and south-west of the UK, down to the Atlantic coast of Spain. It also was recently reported from the central parts and the periphery of the North Sea, up to Trondheim (Norway). Now, it was also recorded during a survey of the epibenthic faunal composition from the Dogger Bank in winter 2011. The collecting stations are located on a routine station on the western Dogger Bank at a depth average of 25 m, as well as off the south-western edge of the Dogger Bank at a mean depth of 65 m. The bottom of both stations is covered with sparse boulders and rubble with a dense cover of Alcyonium digitatum, the preferred food of Xandarovula patula. This is another example for the spreading of oceanic 'warm water' species towards the central North Sea along the main, northern currents. The present work summarizes all records of X. patula from the North Sea available in the literature up-to-date and verifies rising water temperatures at the main area of recent records at the Dogger Bank, possibly promoting the species' spreading.
