We review the contribution of the Leigh Marine Laboratory, as an extension of the University of Auckland campus, to knowledge of marine taxonomic diversity, particularly in New Zealand. Increase in knowledge of the marine biota of the Hauraki Gulf region (and beyond) in the 1960sÁ 2010s was achieved through targeted taxonomic studies and indirectly in the course of other research and fieldwork by staff, students and visitors. The Cape Rodney to Okakari Point Marine Reserve is the type locality for 46 species and the area including Leigh harbour, Matheson Bay and Whangateau Harbour includes the type localities for 21 additional species. Altogether, University of Auckland staff and their students, throughout their professional careers, have described 570 new species of New Zealand marine life, c. 3.2% of the known marine biota of the exclusive economic zone. The laboratory has had an immeasurable influence as a training ground for field work and experimentation and from decades of oral instruction, published books, monographs and papers, and the examples and inspiration of the key personalities. Current informatics activities at the laboratory, facilitating syntheses of biodiversity data in a global context, continue that legacy.

“…En contraste, los estudios de Aguilar-Rosas et al (2001), con taxones de Phaeophyceae, y Díaz-Martín y Espinoza-Avalos (2000), con taxones de Halimedaceae y Udoteaceae, proponen que Cabo Catoche es el punto geográfi co costero que separa los elementos fi cofl orísticos de ambos lados de la península i.e., Golfo de México y Caribe mexicano. La punta noreste de la penínsu-la igualmente se ha sugerido por otros autores para separar subprovincias (Salazar-Vallejo, 2000), regiones (Costello et al, 2010) y ecoregiones (Spalding et al, 2007) zoogeográfi -cas. Díaz-Martín y Espinoza-Avalos (2000) registraron que el 21 % de 63 especies Phaeophyceae no se compartían en ambos lados de la península, mientras que Aguilar- Rosas et al (2001) reportaron que el 68 % de 41 taxones de Halimedaceae y Udoteaceae registrados en el Caribe mexicano no se había registrado en el lado del Golfo de México.…”

“…Al delimitar la distribución mundial de organismos marinos, la punta noreste de la península de Yucatán se ha seña-lado como el límite entre ecorregiones (Caribe Occidental y Sur del Golfo de México; Spalding et al, 2007) y regiones (Golfo de México y Caribe; Costello et al, 2010). Particularmente, esta punta se ha considerado como la frontera o zona de transición entre zonas biogeográfi cas del Mar Caribe y el Golfo de México.…”

Autor para la correspondencia: jespino@ecosur.mxResumen: Veintitrés taxones de Caulerpaceae (14 especies, 3 variedades y 6 formas) se encontraron en 70 sitios a lo largo de las costas de la península de Yucatán, México. La macroalga invasora C. brachypus f. parvifolia se reporta por primera vez en Quintana Roo. El análisis cualitativo de clasifi cación jerárquica aglomerativa ("clustering") mostró ausencia de agrupamientos de sitios representativos de las costas del Caribe mexicano y del Golfo de México, en contraste con otros estudios que han reportado diferencias a ambos lados de la península de Yucatán, con base a la presencia de otros grupos de la biota marina. Caulerpa cupressoides, C. prolifera y C. verticillata fueron las especies con más registros (en 30, 23 y 21 sitios, respectivamente), mientras que C. brachypus, C. lanuginosa, C. microphysa y C. webbiana fueron las menos comunes, con un registro cada especie. Palabras clave: Caulerpa, Caribe mexicano, Golfo de México, macroalgas invasoras, Quintana Roo.Abstract: Twenty-three taxa of Caulerpaceae (14 species, 3 varieties, and 6 forms) were found in 70 sites along the coast of the Yucatan peninsula, Mexico. The invasive macroalgae C. brachypus f. parvifolia is reported for the fi rst time in Quintana Roo, Mexico. A hierarchical agglomerative clustering analysis showed the nonexistence of sites grouping at both sides of the Yucatan peninsula, in contrast with other studies that have reported differences at both sides of the peninsula based on the presence of other groups of the marine biota. Caulerpa cupressoides, C. prolifera, and C. verticillata were the species having more records (in 30, 23, and 21 sites, respectively), while C. brachypus, C. lanuginosa, C. microphysa, and C. webbiana were among the less common species, with one record each species.

The proteasomes of two marine decapod crustaceans, European lobster (Homarus gammarus) and Edible crab (Cancer pagurus), are differently impaired by heavy metals

The intracellular ubiquitin-proteasome system is a key regulator of cellular processes involved in the controlled degradation of short-living or malfunctioning proteins. Certain diseases and cellular dysfunctions are known to arise from the disruption of proteasome pathways. Trace metals are recognized stressors of the proteasome system in vertebrates and plants, but their effects on the proteasome of invertebrates are not well understood. Since marine invertebrates, and particularly benthic crustaceans, can be exposed to high metal levels, we studied the effects of in vitro exposure to Hg 2+ , Zn 2+ , Cu 2+ , and Cd 2+ on the activities of the proteasome from the claw muscles of lobsters (Homarus gammarus) and crabs (Cancer pagurus). The chymotrypsin like activity of the proteasome of these two species showed different sensitivity to metals. In lobsters the activity was significantly inhibited by all metals to a similar extent. In crabs the activities were severely suppressed only by Hg 2+ and Cu 2+ while Zn 2+ had only a moderate effect and Cd 2+ caused almost no inhibition of the crab proteasome. This indicates that the proteasomes of both species possess structural characteristics that determine different susceptibility to metals. Consequently, the proteasome-mediated protein degradation in crab C. pagurus may be less affected by metal pollution than that of the lobster H. gammarus.
