摘要:
Seasonal changes in the abundance of fish species inhabiting an intertidal mussel bed in Morecambe Bay, Lancashire, were studied from 1956 to 1972 (excluding 1962). Species distribution was to some extent governed by the availability of suitable habitats. Competition for living space created by high numbers of a particular species resulted in an extension of its normal vertical distribution pattern. Correlations between seasonal migrations and sea temperatures or suggested breeding periods are postulated. The effects of the severe winter of 1962‐63 are compared with published information from other locations around the British Isle

摘要:
The largest genus of the phylum Sipuncula is reviewed and a key provided to the six subgenera. Some historical comments are provided, particularly with reference to the recent monograph by Stephen&Edmonds (1972). It is noted, in concurrence with Gepner's (1965) views, that despite its large size,Golfingiais a natural unit and probably reflects the site of most rapid cladogenesis as well as being the most generalized, primitive genus. Ten species names(abnormis, cantabriensis, charcoti, derjugini, iniqua, kolense, pavlenkoi, profunda, pusilla,andsluiteri)are synonymized as well as one generic name(Nephasoma).The motivating force behind many of these changes was our consideration of species as populations rather than types. This work is based on the inspection of several type specimens as well as the authors' extensive experience with this genus.

摘要:
The thermal preference, voluntary maxima, and thermal control were studied in the Papuan‐New Guinean pythonsPython spilotus, P. boeleni, Liasis albertisii, L. papuanus, L. boa,andChondropython viridis.Preferred temperature data were similar for all species and mean preferred head temperatures were lower than those for the body. In general preferred and voluntary means were higher for the Papuan‐New Guinean pythons than those found for Australian species and likely reflect adaptation to hotter tropical environme
