Differential diagnosis. Differs from Antipathozoanthus macaronesicus (Ocaña & Brito, 2004) (with regards to distribution; Galapagos as opposed to Cape Verde), coloration (no red or cream colors observed in A. macaronesicus), substrate (Antipathes galapagensis as opposed to Tanacetipathes cavernicola Opresko, 2001). Other morphologically similar and undescribed zoanthids (epizoic on antipatharians, similar sizes, yellowish in color) have been recorded from Madagascar and Japan (specimens in JDR’s collection), although these other specimens were found on different antipatharian species than Antipathozoanthus hickmani, and were never red or cream in color. Antipathozoanthus hickmani is the only zoanthid in the Galápagos found on living Antipathes galapagensis (Table 3). Habitat and distribution. All collected samples from Galapagos were on the black coral Antipathes galapagensis, at depths of 12 m to 35 m. Although A. galapagensis is found throughout the archipelago, Antipathozoanthus hickmani colonies were observed only at Santiago, Floreana, Isabela and Pinzon Islands, and it may be that this genus has a patchy distribution in the Galápagos. A. hickmani is potentially also found at Isla del Coco (Costa Rica) on the same antipatharian species, based on Museo de Zoologia, University of Costa Rica specimen UCR 827, although this has yet to be confirmed with detailed examinations. Biology and associated species. Antipathozoanthus hickmani may cover only a portion of a living Antipathes galapagensis black coral colony, or cover the entire colony, suggesting this species may be parasitic. Some A. hickmani specimens were found on completely dead A. galapagensis colonies or branches. Notes. Previously mentioned in Reimer et al. (2008b, 2010) and Hickman (2008) as Parazoanthus sp.

9. Werner Von Braun p. 29The media can be accessed here: http://streaming.osu.edu/knowledgebank/byrd/oral_history/John_Reimer.mp3Mr. Reimer developed an interest in nautical things while he was a Boy Scout. After graduating from high school, he joined the Navy and completed over 26 years of service. He became interested in photography at the Aviation Fundamental School. As a member of VX6, he was assigned to an ice breaker. He produced a pictorial history of life on the ship. After arriving in Antarctica in 1956, he assisted in construction of a base. He photographed the items that the marine biologists removed from Weddell Sea.
During the 1957 trip, he did aerial mapping of the mountain ranges around McMurdo. The cameras were not designed for cold weather. The cameras operated satisfactorily after the lubricants were removed. A seismologist had him photograph seismology tests at the South Pole to determine the thickness of the ice cap. Another mission involved aerial mapping of crevasses on tractor trains routes. The equipment used in aerial mapping and the procedures are described.
During the 1958-59 season, he photographed the opening of the season—supplies and people arriving and winter crew leaving. The delivery of a new bulldozer to Byrd station resulted in some nice still photographs. The plane’s crew identified another mountain range while aerial mapping the Sentinel Mountains in 1959-1960. While at Byrd Station, he was advanced to chief photographer’s mate.
During the 1960-61 seasons, he did more aerial mapping. On one trip, a large deposit of coal was identified. In summary, Mr. Reimer comments on the interactions between scientists and the Navy personnel. After 3 years at NAS Norfolk, he was assigned chief in charge of the photo lab on USS America CVA66. After being made chief in charge of VDX6 photo division, he returned to Antarctica during Operation Deep Freeze 66. He had a similar assignment with Deep Freeze 68.

Debates over Palaeolithic chronology - the reliability of C-14 is confirmed
No full textThe debate about the complex issues of human development during the Middle to Upper Palaeolithic transition period (45-35 ka BP) has been hampered by concerns about the reliability of the radiocarbon dating method. Large C-14 anomalies were postulated and radiocarbon dating was considered flawed. We show here that these issues are no longer relevant, because the large anomalies are artefacts beyond plausible physical limits for their magnitude. Previous inconsistencies between C-14 radiocarbon datasets have been resolved, and a new radiocarbon calibration curve, IntCal09 (Reimer et al., 2009), was created. Improved procedures for bone collagen extraction and charcoal pre-treatment generally result in older ages, consistent with independently dated time markers. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Microzoanthus Fujii & Reimer 2011
No full textGenus <i>Microzoanthus</i> Fujii & Reimer, 2011 <p> Type species. <i>Microzoanthus occultus</i> Fujii & Reimer, 2011, by original designation.</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis.</b> Identical to Microzoanthidae (diagnosis of Fujii & Reimer 2011). Colonial Microzoanthidae free-living and lacking a scleroprotein skeleton. Known from temperate and tropical cryptic habitats in the Pacific Ocean at 0– 23 m. Azooxanthellate. Polyps transparent or faintly red, expand to 3 mm wide and 10 mm long. Capitular ridges largely imperceptible because of heavy encrustations. Oral disk calathiform and edged in a distinct zig-zag pattern (diagnosis expanded using data from Fujii & Reimer 2011). Marginal musculature endodermal, 268–331 Μm in length, composed of 10–16 attachment points. Encrustations of column through ectoderm but not penetrating ectodermal surface of the mesoglea; elliptical lacunae just beneath ectodermal surface of mesoglea form an encircling sinus (diagnosis expanded using data presented here).</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> The phylogenetic position of <i>Microzoanthus</i>, as inferred by mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase (COI) and 16s ribosomal (mt 16S rDNA) genes (see Fujii & Reimer 2011; Figs 7 & S1), is near the base of the Zoanthidea and as the sister clade to <i>Isozoanthus</i> (in the COI tree) or all Zoanthidea except <i>Isozoanthus</i> (in the 16S tree). Although these phylogenies are incongruent (with each other and other published hypotheses, <i>e.g.</i>, Sinniger <i>et al.</i> 2005, Swain 2010) and poorly supported (both problems may be resolved by multigene analysis applied to comprehensive taxon sampling), they suggest that <i>Microzoanthus</i> may occupy a critical position near the origin of Zoanthidea and could provide insight into the evolution of <i>Isozoanthus</i> and clarify relationships between the genera of Zoanthidea.</p>Published as part of <i>Swain, Timothy D. & Swain, Laura M., 2014, Molecular parataxonomy as taxon description: examples from recently named Zoanthidea (Cnidaria: Anthozoa) with revision based on serial histology of microanatomy, pp. 81-107 in Zootaxa 3796 (1)</i> on page 99, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3796.1.4, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/251140">http://zenodo.org/record/251140</a>

Colonies may reach sizes of over a meter in diameter.</p> <p> <i>Morphology</i>: <i>Terrazoanthus onoi</i> has bright red or red-brown oral disks and the outer surface of polyps is tan to dark brown, with polyps relatively clear of the coenenchyme. <i>T. onoi</i> has 32 to 40 tentacles that are almost as long as the diameter of the expanded oral disk (Figure 3).</p> <p> <i>Cnidae</i>: Basitrichs and microbasic p-mastigophores (often difficult to distinguish), holotrichs (large, medium, and small), spirocysts (see Table 2, Figure 9).</p> <p> <b>Differential diagnosis.</b> In the Galápagos, <i>Terrazoanthus onoi</i> differs from <i>Parazoanthus darwini</i> and <i>Antipathozoanthus hickmani</i> by substrate preference (rock as opposed to sponges and anthipatharians, respectively), as well as from <i>Terrazoanthus sinnigeri</i> sp. n. (below) by both color (bright red as opposed to brown, white or transparent) and habitat ecology (exposed rock surfaces as opposed to under rocks and rubble). In addition, <i>T. onoi</i> is bigger (oral disk diameter and polyp height) than <i>T. sinnigeri</i>, and forms much larger colonies (Table 3). <i>T. onoi</i> commonly has only basitrichs and microbasic p-mastigophores in its pharynx, and no large or small holotrichs at all, unlike <i>T. sinnigeri</i> (Table 2).</p> <p>Phylogenetically, <i>Terrazoanthus onoi</i> is very closely related to <i>T. sinnigeri</i>, with identical COI and mt 16S rDNA sequences, but consistently differs by four base pairs in ITS-rDNA, and forms a clade separate from <i>T. sinnigeri</i>.</p> <p>An extensive literature search revealed no other described Parazoanthidae species from the Pacific that are non-epizoic and bright red in color. An undescribed zoanthid species inhabiting rock and coral reef substrata from Indonesia often referred to as “yellow polyps” (<i>sensu</i> Sinniger et al. 2005) is likely also a <i>Terrazoanthus</i> sp., but is distinct from <i>T. onoi</i> in terms of color and distribution, and is phylogenetically different.</p> <p> <b>Habitat and distribution.</b> Specimens of <i>Terrazoanthus onoi</i> were found on rock substrate in areas of high current (i.e., the base of large rocks, rock walls, etc.). Colonies were found at Darwin, Marchena, Genovesa, Isabela, Pinzon, Española, and Floreana Islands, and it is likely <i>T. onoi</i> is found throughout the archipelago. This species has been found from the low infra-littoral to depths of over 35 m, and is likely to be at even deeper depths.</p> <p> <b>Biology and associated species.</b> Found on the top surfaces of rocks and biogenic non-living substrate, <i>Terrazoanthus onoi</i> is often found close to sponges, seaweed, and oth- er benthos, but is not epizoic and does not have an association with any particular species.</p> <p> <b>Notes.</b> Previously mentioned in Reimer et al. (2008b, 2010) and Hickman (2008) as <i>Parazoanthus</i> sp. G3, except for specimen MISE 02-27 mentioned below.</p> <p>It should be noted that specimen MISE 02-27 was found to have an ITS-rDNA sequence inconsistent with other <i>Terrazoanthus onoi</i> specimens (Figure 6), although other data (morphology, mt 16S rDNA and COI data) fit well with <i>T. onoi</i>. For these reasons, this specimen has not been conclusively assigned to <i>T. onoi</i> or to the other new <i>Terrazoanthus</i> species below. These results indicate there may be other <i>Terrazoanthus</i> species in the Galápagos that await discovery and description.</p>Published as part of <i>Reimer, James & Fujii, Takuma, 2010, Four new species and one new genus of zoanthids (Cnidaria, Hexacorallia) from the Galapagos Islands, pp. 1-36 in ZooKeys 42 (42)</i> on pages 20-23, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.42.378, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/576650">http://zenodo.org/record/576650</a>
