    Long Term Trends in the Discovery Of Marine Species New to Science Which Occur in Britain and Ireland
    Cambridge University Press (CUP) ; 1996

    Abstract: Marine species new to science continue to be discovered around Britain and Ireland. The number of marine species described each year was plotted against time for Pisces, Echinodermata, Anthozoa, Bivalvia, Decapoda, Gastropoda, Bryozoa, Tunicata, Medusozoa, Amphipoda, Porifera, Nudibranchia, Polychaeta, Copepoda, Oligochaeta, and Nematoda. Trends suggest that the latter four taxa in particular, in which individuals generally have a small body size, still have many species remaining to be described. More conspicuous taxa are better known, but new species continue to be described. Whilst the World Wars and advent of new scientific techniques do not appear to have had significant impacts on the general trends in discovery of new species, individual scientists have made major contributions.

    A Note on Feeding in Leptopentacta (=Cucumaria) Elongata
    Cambridge University Press (CUP) ; 1984

    Abstract: Conflicting opinions exist as to the method of feeding employed by Leptopentacta elongata (Dub. and Kor). Orton (1914) and Mortensen (1927) suggested that it may be a deposit feeder. Chia & Buchanan (1969) noted that post larval specimens up to 1 year old deposit fed. Fankboner (1981), in a short study, concluded that the adults were cryptic deposit feeders. Hunt (1925) and Fish (1967), however, observed what they concluded was suspension feeding. All the above observations were the result of aquarium studies. Fish (1967) also demonstrated that Leptopentacta hibernated between October and April or May both in the field and in aquarium. He also observed that hibernation could be induced in the summer months by reducing water temperature to 8°C but that winter hibernation could not be curtailed by raising the water temperature. Obsevations made by one of us (B.P.) while diving indicate that Leptopentacta suspension feeds. This behaviour has been observed on several occasions from several sites around the Irish coastline with specimens then being caught and their identity confirmed. While feeding the tentacles are held clear of the substrate to intercept suspended material. These observations clearly do not support the description of Leptopentacta solely as a cryptic deposit feeder, indeed the evidence for the adults deposit feeding at all is weak. Orton (1914) and Mortensen were only speculating on Leptopentacta being a deposit feeder based on the observation that specimens in aquaria spent much of their time completely buried. Hibernation, as shown by Fish (1967), is a possible explanation for this.
