Guzman, 27 April 2002; UCR 1429, 1430, Bajo Urracá, 3–20 m, H.M. Guzman, 27 April 2002.</p> <p> <b>Description</b>. Colonies wider than high, up to 150 in height, and 220 mm in width, composed of one or more fans. New fans arise from the others and grow parallel to them. Colour when wet preserved is reddish­orange and dark red when dry; when alive they range from red to dark red. Colonies of different coloured hues can be found on the same site, even on the same rock. Colonies have a strong holdfast, and the fans commonly arise directly from this, but some colonies have short stems up to 10 mm in length. Networks are regular and of closed meshes (Fig. 1 F), mostly angular, up to 7 mm in length and 3 mm in width (about 8–9 meshes/cm²). Mesh branches are squarish in section, up to 2.0 mm in diameter. There are no distinct midribs, but some thick basal branches (up to 10 mm in width) can be traced for short distances into the fans. End­branchlets are more rounded than squarish in section, up to 5 mm in length, and have pointed tips. Free­twigs are short (up to 3 mm in length). The polyps are retracted within dome­shaped, coenenchymal mounds which are slightly raised, and closely crowded on the branches. They are mostly arranged in two to four alternating rows along the branches; more on thick branches. There is a very thin rim of orange sclerites around the polyp apertures. Polyps are white with rods arranged in weak points, some very small biscuit­like rods are found at the base of the tentacles. Coenenchymal sclerites are different combinations and abundances of pink, and hues of red, from reddish­orange to pale yellow, and also multicoloured; many of them show a yellowish halo. The surface of the branches contains dark yellow capstans sparsely distributed on a solid layer of orange and reddish­orange, larger capstans and spindles. In some specimens, however, almost all sclerites have the same colour, generally reddish­orange, but a shine from yellow sclerites on the branches can always be seen. The coenenchymal sclerites are mostly wide capstans and spindles, robustly tuberculate, becoming barrel­like. Anthocodial sclerites are light yellow rods.</p> <p> <b>Holotype</b>. The holotype (Fig. 1 E) is a dry, deep red colony, mostly a single fan, and 120 mm in height, and 200 mm in width. The holdfast was broken at the time of collection. No complete midribs are present, but a thick branch (up to 10 mm in width) at the base subdivides in two thinner ones, which extend up to 70 mm into the fan. At the base of the colony the black axis is visible. Some short branches spread at right angles to form three very small secondary fans at different levels of the colony. The coenenchymal sclerites are mostly wide capstans and spindles, strongly ornamented, mainly reddish­orange, but some are mixtures of these colours. The spindles (up to 0.14 mm in length and 0.05 mm in width) have a complex ornamentation, mostly arranged as four whorls of warty tubercles.</p> <p>The ends are elongate, pointed or rounded, and abundant asymmetric forms occur with one blunt end and the other acute (Fig. 4 A): a few spindles are arched. The capstans are mostly large (up to 0.10 mm in length and 0.05 mm in width), with strong, warty tubercles. The most characteristic capstans are light red with a clearly marked waist and two tyre–like whorls of tubercles (Fig. 4 B), which are frequently found in sclerite samples. Less abundant smaller capstans, dark yellow (about 0.05 mm in length and 0.04 mm in width) with wide tubercles (Fig. 4 B) are also present. Four­radiates (up to 0.06 by 0.06 mm) with warty ends (Fig. 4 C), and various immature types of sclerites are present (Fig. 4 D). Anthocodial sclerites are yellow, sometimes pale. They are long rods (up to 0.11 mm in length and up to 0.03 mm in width) mostly with smooth or wavy margins, and some with short lobe­like projections (Fig. 4 E).</p> <p> <b>Habitat</b>.

Colonies are composed of a few thick stems, branched or unbranched and slightly crooked with a rounded tip (Figs. 1 A, 2 A), that are up to 18 cm long, and are connected at their base by a continuous encrusting holdfast. The diameter of branches including calyces is up to 15 mm, and about 19 mm at tips. When alive, the polyps are bright yellow and the coenenchyme looks brownish (Fig. 1 A–B). The polyps are densely packed around the branches (40–50 calyces/cm), more scarcely distributed on the holdfast and at the base of branches. The calyces are prominent, up to 2 mm diameter with a spiny lobed rim, and up to 1 mm tall (Fig. 2 A–B). The anthocodial armature consists of a strong collaret and points arrangement. The collaret is composed of three rows of long curved spindles 0.5–0.7 mm long and 0.05–0.13 mm wide, with small warts on their surface; some have one or two short branchlike projections at one side (Fig. 3 A). The points consist of five pairs of warty spindles and rods, 0.35–0.50 mm long and 0.04–0.06 mm wide, arranged en chevron (Fig. 3 B). The calicular rim has 3–4 whorls of long, strong, thorns, 0.3–0.5 mm long (Fig. 3 C). The coenenchymal sclerites include spindles, straight, bent or irregularly branched, 0.25–0.45 mm long and 0.10–0.15 mm wide (Fig. 3 D); irregular warty ovals, 0.06– 0.12 mm long and 0.04–0.07 mm wide (Fig. 3 F); and crosses that are up to 0.10–0.25 mm (Fig. 3 E). The tentacular thorny rods are 0.08–0.20 mm long and 0.02–0.05 mm wide (Fig. 3 G). A more detailed description is given in Breedy & Guzman (2005). The colour of the colonies is whitish to beige or greenish in ethanol or dry preserved. Remarks. The stems with just one or two wide branches, the large calyces arranged very close together, and the predominance of larger sclerites distinguish this species from all others. This species has been found at several sites in the Galápagos Islands and recently off the mainland coast of Ecuador. There are no records elsewhere in the eastern Pacific.Published as part of Breedy, Odalisca & Guzman, Hector M., 2011, A revision of the genus Heterogorgia Verrill, 1868 (Anthozoa: Octocorallia: Plexauridae), pp. 27-44 in Zootaxa 2995 on pages 30-32, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20111
Optical and microphysical properties of fresh biomass burning aerosol retrieved by Raman lidar, and star-and sun-photometry
A fresh biomass-burning pollution plume was monitored and characterized in terms of optical and microphysical properties for the first time with a combination of Raman lidar and star- and sun-photometers. Such an instrument combination is highly useful for 24-h monitoring of pollution events. The observations were made at Granada (37.16 degrees N, 3.6 degrees W), Spain. The fresh smoke particles show a rather pronounced accumulation mode and features markedly different from those reported for aged particles. We find lidar ratios around 60-65 sr at 355 nm and 532 nm, and particle effective radii below 0.20 mu m. We find low values of the single-scattering albedo of 0.76-0.9 depending on measurement wavelength. The numbers are lower than what have been found for aged, long-range-transported smoke that originated from boreal fires in Canada and Siberia. Citation: Alados-Arboledas, L., D. Muller, J. L.

Pacifigorgia ferruginea Breedy & Guzman, 2004, new species
Pacifigorgia ferruginea, new species (Figs. 1 C–D, 3 A–E) Material examined. Holotype: STRI 423, Islas Ladrones, Gulf of Chiriquí, 15 m, H. Guzman and O. Breedy, 27 August 2002. Paratypes: MCZ 57051, STRI 422 B, UCR 1503 same data as holotype; STRI 521, Islas Ladrones, 5 m, H.M. Guzman, 15 April 2003; STRI 764, 765, Isla Galera, Gulf of Panama, 5 m, H.M. Guzman, 7 August 2003; UCR 1046, 1050, 1504, Isla Canal Afuera, Gulf of Chiriquí, 3–12 m, H.M. Guzman, 10 December 2001. Description. Colonies wider than high, up to 110 in height, and 150 mm in width, composed of one or more fans. New fans radiate from different parts of the main fan and grow parallel. Colour when preserved is dark purple intermingled with orange, when alive it is a characteristic rustcolour, acquiring a lighter hue when dry. Orange sclerites, sparsely distributed on the surface of the branches, give the impression of rust on the colony, which is very distinctive for this species. Colonies have a strong holdfast, and the fans grow directly from this. Networks are regular and of closed meshes (6–7 meshes/cm ²) (Fig. 1 C), and about 2–5 mm in diameter. Some meshes are notably elongated and thin, about 15 mm in length and 1–1.5 mm in width. Small colonies have larger meshes. Mesh branches are squarish in section, up to 1.0 mm in diameter. No distinct midribs were observed, but some thick branches (up to 5 mm in width) at the colony base extend for a short distance (up to 15–20 mm) into the fans. Endbranchlets are pointed, up to 7 mm in length. Freetwigs are around 3 mm in length, but in some colonies they reach up to 7 mm. The polyps are retracted within domeshaped coenenchymal mounds which are slightly raised, and close together, with dark purple sclerites forming a thin ring around the polyp apertures. They are crowded on the branches and mostly arranged in pairs; although four rows occur on thick branches. Polyps are white with rods arranged in thin points, and with sparse intermediate (mesenterially arranged) rods. The rods are mostly colourless, pale pink or pale yellow; darker hues also occur. In some specimens (paratype, UCR 1050) the rods are light purple, especially in the centre with a lighter halo. Coenenchymal sclerites are large, wide capstans and spindles, with whorls of tubercles, and can be dark purple, orange to dark orange, and bicoloured with one end dark orange and the other dark purple. A combination of small orange capstans and large, wide, dark purple capstans and spindles is always observed in microscopic preparations. The majority Holotype. The holotype (Fig. 1 C) is a dry colony, 120 mm in height, and 140 mm in width, composed of a main fan, two small secondary fans, and some free branches at the base. The encrusting holdfast is attached to a small calcareous rock. No midribs cross the fans, but some thick, flat branches (up to 8 mm in diameter) extend from the holdfast for some distance, and the small secondary fans radiate perpendicularly from them, producing a starlike arrangement. Coenenchymal sclerites are dark purple, dark orange, orange, and some multicoloured. Spindles (up to 0.15 mm in length and 0.06 mm in width) have 4–6 complete whorls of tubercles, elongated warty ends (Fig. 3 A), and are acute at both tips, or asymmetrical, with one blunt end. Capstans may be very large (up to 0.10 mm in length and 0.06 mm in width), with strong, warty tubercles, or small, and always orange (about 0.04 mm in length and 0.03 mm in width) (Fig. 3 B). Some fourradiates (up to 0.09 mm in length by 0.09 mm in width) with warty ends (Fig. 3 C) and various immature sclerites (Fig. 3 D) are commonly found in the samples. Anthocodial sclerites are light yellow to colourless. They are flat, wide rods (up to 0.09 mm in length and up to 0.03 mm in width) with lobed or scalloped margins (Fig. 3 E). Remarks. Although some similarity exists in the size and shape of sclerites of P. f e r ruginea and P. smithsoniana new species, the latter is more variegate in colour and has more barrellike sclerites. A marked difference is also found in the anthocodial rods, which are longer in P. smithsoniana and are without wide lobed margins. When alive, the species are very different, notably the remarkable rusted aspect of the colonies of P. ferruginea. Habitat. This species was abundant at Isla Ladrones growing on vertical walls from 14 to 15 m in depth, together with a species of Leptogorgia. Etymology. An adjective (L), ferrugineus = rustcoloured, rusty. Distribution. Only reported for the type localities.Published as part of Breedy, Odalisca & Guzman, Hector M., 2004, New species of the gorgoniian genus Pacifigorgia (Coelenterata: Octocorallia: Gorgoniidae) from Pacific Panama, pp. 1-15 in Zootaxa 541 on pages 4-5, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.15770

Eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull Volcano in spring 2010 : Multiwavelength Raman lidar measurements of sulphate particles in the lower troposphere
A fraction of the volcanic plume that originated from the Eyjafjallajokull volcanic eruption on Iceland in 2010 reached the southern Iberian Peninsula in May 2010. The plume was monitored and characterized in terms of optical and microphysical properties with a combination of Raman lidar and star- and Sun-photometers. Our observations showed that the plume arriving at the Iberian Peninsula was mainly composed of sulphate and sulphuric-acid particles. To our knowledge, this is the first study of optical properties and inverted microphysical properties of volcanic sulphate particles in the lower troposphere/boundary layer based on multiwavelength Raman lidar measurements. A remarkable increase in the particle number concentration in the accumulation mode was determined from the inversion of the aerosol optical properties. The large Angstrom exponents and low linear particle depolarization ratios (4-7%) indicated the presence of small and spherical particles. The particle effective radii ranged between 0.30 and 0.55 mu m. In situ instrumentation confirmed an increase of sulphate particles at ground level during this period. Citation: Navas-Guzman, F., D.
