On a new Seison Grube, 1861 from coastal waters of Kenya, with a reappraisal of the classification of the Seisonida (Rotifera)
-
On occasion of the discovery of a new species of a marine epizoic rotifer of the enigmatic Seisonidae, from Gazi Bay in Kenya, we reassessed the classification of the group. The taxon was until now known to contain only 2 species, viz. Seison nebaliae and S. annulatus, both of which live attached to Crustacea of the genus Nebalia. The new species, Seison africanus sp. nov., was diagnosed by its species-specific trophi morphology and relatively small size. A comparison with the 2 other known seisonid species reveals a sister group relationship between S. africanus sp. nov. and S. nebaliae, based on similarities in trophi structure and, accordingly, an assumed feeding mode and relationship with their hosts. The fundamental differences between these 2 commensal sister taxa and the ectoparasitic S. annulatus prompted a reevaluation of the generic classification of these animals. Accordingly, we propose to reestablish the genus Paraseison Plate, 1887 in order to accommodate P. annulatus (Claus, 1876) (comb. nov.).

On how to extract the paleotsunami history from a coastal lake record
-
Coastal lake records can be successfully used for reconstructing continuous histories of tsunamigenic megathrust earthquakes. Here, we apply a wide range of methods on one Japanese and two Chilean coastal lakes and show that the selection of coring locations benefits significantly from accompanying geophysical survey data. High-resolution seismic profiles display several strong reflectors in all three lake basins, allowing us to map the depth and extent of coarse-grained tsunami deposits. Side scan sonar imagery enables us to reconstruct past tsunami inundation pathways.
