The aim of the study was to obtain a revised and updated checklist of the species of copepods of the Colombian Caribbean. Methods for updating included a critical compilation of records in published and unpublished articles, and our own results of a study of zooplankton in a project on bioinvasions of coastal waters, conducted in 2010. Twenty taxa reported solely in undergraduate thesisneed taxonomical comprobation and were excluded from the inventory. As a baseline, we used the most recent inventory published by Medellín-Mora and Navas (2010). Ten species recorded in the already mentioned project are new records. Thirteen species reported by other researchers in publications after 2010 increased the species list. The inventory totals 214 species of copepods (158 Calanoida, 38Cyclopoida, 15 Harpacticoida, 2 Mormonilloida and 1 Monstrilloida). Most species are planktonic (201), while only a few are benthic (10) or epibenthic (3). Nomenclature of the taxa was revised and updated as well. The highest copepod diversity corresponds to the ecoregion Colombian Oceanic (127 species), followed by Tayrona (94), Magdalena (82) and Morrosquillo (78). The lowest number corresponds to San Andrés and Providencia Archipelago (49). The limited information existing about benthic and parasitic copepods warrants an increment on the study these groups. Most of them belong to orders Harpacticoida and Siphonostomatoida.

Four new shallow water species of the genus Pacifigorgia were found in recent surveys along the Pacific coast of Panama. One of the species was only found in dense patches at two shallow seamount-like localities inside the Coiba National Park, Gulf of Chiriqu . Two other species were patchily distributed at several localities in the Gulf of Chiriqu . A fourth species was widely distributed around the gulfs of Chiriqu and Panama encompassing a broad range of habitats and depths. The new species are described and illustrated in detail with scanning electron micrographs (SEM) of the sclerites, and colour photographs of the colony forms. The suspected occurrence of a particular Pacifigorgia species for this region is confirmed and two other new records are added to the species list. With the new four species, a total of 15 are established for Panama, making 31 species for the eastern Pacific to date.

Finfish Aquaculture

Parasitic copepods of the family Caligidae, the so-called sea lice, may be deleterious to marine or brackish finfish aquaculture. To date, biological and ecological studies of sea lice have been mostly restricted to species from cold or temperate regions. In Mexico there are some records of sea lice species on marine fishes; however, the research regarding their biology and ecology has been scarce. It is possible that a high biodiversity of sea lice is distributed in coastal waters of Mexico; therefore, their significance as pathogenic parasites should increase. The purpose of this review is to outline the current knowledge of the life cycle, host location, ecology, effect on fish health, and control strategies of sea lice in order to establish supportive basis for natural resource management and control of parasites and diseases of marine fish cultured in Mexico.

Seagrasses in the Air Bangis Archipelago, west coast of Sumatra were found growing in sandy muddy substratesof the shallow coastal waters at depth of 0.3-2.5 m, dominated by degraded coral reefs around the off-shoreislands. Two species; Enhalus acoroides (L.f) Royle and Thalassia hemprichii (Ehrenb) Aschers were observed atPulau Unggas, Pulau Pasir Panjang and Teluk Tapang. Halodule uninervis (Forssk) Aschers was observed in twolocations; Pasir Panjang and Teluk Tapang. The occurrence of this species is unknown previously and therefore itis a new flora record for Sumatra. With this new record, Sumatra has six species of seagrasses, contributing tohalf of total number of seagrasses occurring in Indonesia. According to leaf width measurements, two morphologicalvariants (narrow and wide leaved) can be distinguished for Halodule uninervis. In addition, descriptions of thespecies and their habitat characteristic are provided.

Odonates are found in all freshwater environments, and are specially species rich in tropical freshwater ecosystems. Currently about 800 odonate species are known to Brazil, but only 29% of the Brazil territory have been surveyed for this group. Here we provide a species list with information on distribution and new records for Odonata in nine streams in Nova Xavantina, Mato Grosso, Central Brazil. We used the scan procedure with a fixed area for three days in each stream between 10:00 and 14:00h. We collected 1038 dragonfly specimens belonging to 67 species, which represents 8% of the known Brazil odonate fauna. Additionally, five new records for the study area are presented.

A check-list of the coastal fishes of Madeira Island is presented. The species Rhincodon typus, Megalops atlanticus, Apterichtus caecus, Apterichtus sp., Chelidonichthys lucernus, Caranx crysos, Lutjanus goreensis, Crystallogobius linearis, and Canthidermis sufflamen are recorded for the first time from Madeira waters. We have recognized 13 previous records as identification errors or registration errors and indicate 14 other records as doubtful. Including the nine new records, we list 226 species from the coastal waters of Madeira Island.

Boreal Mixedwood Forest

Lepidoptera were collected, primarily via UV light trap, for three seasons in the boreal mixedwood forest near Lac La Biche, Alberta. A total of 11,111 specimens were collected, representing 41 families and 438 species. A species list with flight times is presented. The total Lepidoptera community was estimated to be 546 ± 23.34 species. Abundance and species richness peaked in late July. Thirty-five species constitute new records for Alberta, while one species, Acanthopteroctetes bimaculata, is a new record for Canada, and the first record of the family Acanthopteroctetidae in Canada.

Four species of the enchytraeid oligochaete genus Marionina from intertidal habitats are added to the British Columbia species list: Marionina klaskisharum sp. nov., M. nevisensis (Righi and Kanner, 1979), M. southerni Cernosvitov, 1937, and M. glandulifera (Jansson, 1960). Marionina nevisensis is asetate; M. klaskisharum has setal bundles ventrally in II to V, each represented by a single seta; M. glandulifera has only ventral, bisetate setal bundles; and M. southerni has lateral and ventral bisetate bundles in all segments except laterally in II. Marionina nevisensis is elevated from a subspecies of M. achaeta Lasserre, 1964 because of structural differences of their spermathecae and seminal vesicles. The ranges of M. charlottensis Coates, 1980 and M. nevisensis Coates, 1980 are extended, respectively, south to northern California and to include the entire British Columbia coastline.
