Trimuricea omanensis Samimi-Namin & Ofwegen, 2016, n. sp.
No full textTrimuricea omanensis n. sp. (Figs. 13 c, 19 –20, 32a) Material: Holotype, RMNH Coel. 41599, Oman, Strait of Hormuz, Musandam, no palm beach (OM 11 A 7 S 6), 26.37336 ° N 56.535694 ° E, 10–25 m depth, coll. K. Samimi-Namin, 9 May 2011. Description. The holotype is a piece of colony, about 35 cm high and 14 cm wide, that is branched in one plane and has many anastomoses forming a network (Fig. 13 c). The calyces are dome shaped, closely set to each other and situated all around the branches. They are low, only 1–2 mm in height and have a diameter of up to 1 mm. The points have triradiates (Fig. 19 a), along with curved, hockeystick or boot-shaped sclerites, or spindles (Fig. 19 b), 0.15–0.25 mm long. The upper ray of the triradiates and upper part of the spindles is echinulate or smooth for up to 0.12 mm, and slightly blunt. The collaret spindles are 0.20–0.35 mm long (Fig. 19 c); the middle part of the convex side is more tuberculated than the concave side and both the ends. The concave side is relatively smooth in the center with more tuberculation at both ends. These polyp sclerites have few tubercles. A few tentacle scales are present, up to 0.08 mm long (Fig. 19 d). The calyces have thornscales, 0.10–0.25 mm long, with a warty base, and one or more echinulate or smooth thorns up to 0.10 mm long (Figs. 19 e, 20 a). The coenenchyme has simple spindles, 0.10–0.30 mm long, with simple and complex tubercles (Fig. 20 b). Additionally, spindles with one smooth, thorn-like end are also present (Fig. 20 c). Also a few sclerites are present that superficially resemble unilateral spinose spindles. Colour. The live colony was yellow with magenta extended polyps (Fig. 32 a). Preserved colony is brown. All sclerites are colourless. Etymology. The species is named after the country Oman where the holotype was found. Remarks. The species mostly resembles Trimuricea inermis, both species having small coenenchymal spindles and calicular thornscales. But it differs in having some sclerites resembling unilateral spinous spindles, some spindles with one thorny end and branch anastomoses forming a net-like colony shape.Published as part of Samimi-Namin, Kaveh & Van Ofwegen, Leen P., 2016, A revision of Trimuricea Gordon, 1926 (Cnidaria: Octocorallia: Plexauridae) with the description of six new species, pp. 1-44 in Zootaxa 4105 (1) on pages 23-29, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4105.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/27123
Sansibia claereboudti Samimi-Namin, Benayahu & McFadden 2022, sp. nov.
No full textSansibia claereboudti Samimi-Namin, Benayahu & McFadden sp. nov. Figures 1, 5C–D, 6, 7 http://zoobank/ urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: E8115341-B5FE-40A7-A1D8-3B7D7B1DB628 Material. Oman, Holotype: RMNH Coel. 42915, Oman Sea, Bandar Al-Khiran (23.501662° N, 58.763671° E), 8– 10 m, 2013, coll. K. Samimi-Namin & M. Claereboudt; Paratypes: RMNH Coel. 42916, same details; SMNHTAU_ Co _38229, same details. Description. The holotype has a stoloniferous growth form and encrusts a limestone fragment (Fig. 5 C–D, 6A). Polyps are monomorphic, and their distribution varies from well-spaced to dense clumps. They arise from anastomosing stolons that criss-cross the substrate Fig. (6 A–B). The polyps are flabby and lie horizontally on the colony surface. The polyp body is up to 2 mm long and the tentacles are> 1 mm long. There is a single row of 5–7 plump pinnules along each side of a tentacle. The smaller polyps may have fewer pinnules or even none, probably representing young ones. The stolons are rather thin and delicate, up to 1 mm thick. The sclerites of the holotype are ellipsoid platelets, highly abundant throughout the colony, measuring 0.010 – 0.016 x 0.014 –0.020 mm (Fig. 7A). Some sclerites tend to fracture due to the SEM preparation. They are composed of calcite rods whose tips provide a granular appearance to the sclerite surface (Fig. 7B). Color. The ethanol-preserved samples are cream or light brown. Etymology The species is named after Michel Claereboudt, Sultan Qaboos University, Oman, for his contributions to knowledge of the marine biodiversity of the Middle East. Variation. The morphological features of the paratype colonies (Fig. 6C) resemble the holotype, except in size. Remarks. S. claereboudti sp. nov. is the second confirmed species of this genus. Although Alderslade (2000) included Anthelia boquetei Roxas, 1933, Anthelia formosana Utinomi, 1950, and ? Anthelia lineata Stimpson, 1855 in the genus Sansibia, all three of those species need re-examination prior to a concrete decision on their taxonomic status. The morphology of S. claereboudti sp. nov. differs markedly from that of S. flava whose polyps are not contractile, while those of S. claereboudti sp. nov. can completely contract. S. flava has a spreading membrane, while S. claereboudti sp. nov. has stolons growing over the reef substrate. S. claereboudti sp. nov. features tentacles with a single row of 5–7 pinnules compared to S. flava which has 3–4 rows and up to 25 pinnules in the outermost row. The sclerites of both species are ellipsoid platelets, highly abundant throughout the colony, and those of S. claereboudti sp. nov. are a bit smaller in diameter compared to S. flava (0.008 –0.013 x 0.013 –0.018 and 0.010 –0.016 x 0.014 – 0.020 mm, respectively). S. flava has sclerites with a rather smooth and roundish margin except for some cracks, while S. claereboudti sp. nov. has some sclerites with a waist. Despite these morphological differences between the two congeners, the molecular data suggest a close genetic relationship between S. flava and S. claereboudti sp. nov. Based on the description of the latter two species an updated diagnosis of Sansibia is presented. So far, these two species exhibit restricted, non-overlapping geographic ranges: Oman Sea vs. SW Indian Ocean. Living features. The live colonies are iridescent blue-purple or green due to the light-refraction properties of the sclerites (Fig. 5C, D). In situ photographs show the polyps in various states, from moderately expanded to completely contracted. Expanded polyps are 2–6 mm in width when alive and the tentacles are up to 4 mm long and 2 mm wide. Polyps contract when stimulated physically. Distribution.

Meteorological and Firn data from DYE-2, Greenland Ice Sheet, Summer 2016
No full textThis dataset contains time-domain reflectometry (TDR), thermistor, and automatic weather station (AWS) data from summer, 2016 at DYE-2 on the southwestern Greenland Ice Sheet. Two firn pits were excavated, 5.3 and 2.2 m deep, and vertical arrays of TDR sensors and thermistors were installed to track meltwater infiltration and refreezing through the summer melt season (Samimi et al., 2020).
AWS, TDR, and thermistor data were written to a Campbell Scientific CR1000 datalogger and the raw (ascii) output from the datalogger is imported to an Excel spreadsheet. Data have been quality-controlled through the elimination of any non-physical values (e.g., -99999); these are replaced with NaN or blanks in the dataset. The thermistor and AWS data are complete. Ultrasonic depth gauge (SR50A) data are filtered to remove non-physical values and erroneous data associated with spurious reflections from blowing snow

Euplexaura
No full textEuplexaura sp. a (Figs. 2 e, 19–20) Material: RMNH Coel. 38779, one colony, Kharku Island, 29 º 20 ' 51.1 " N, 50 º 21 ' 17.7 " E, depth 18–20 m, 31 March 2007, coll. K. Samimi Namin; RMNH Coel. 38780 one colony, off Kuwait, Koninklijke Shell Exploratie en produktie laboratorium, sta. T 1570, coll. A.J. Keij, 1966. Description of RMNH Coel. 38779. The Kharku specimen is 8 cm high and 5.5 cm wide (Fig. 2 e). The colony is branched in one plane with cylindrical branches. Calyces not present or very low dome-shaped. A number of winged oysters and echinoderms are attached to the colony. The polyps have points with flattened spindles, up to 0.25 mm long (Fig. 19 a). Sometimes a few horizontally placed sclerites are present in a polyp but a real collaret was not observed. The surface layer of the coenenchyme has blunt ellipsoids and spindles, up to 0.25 mm long, with complex tubercles (Fig. 19 c–d). Several of them with one side less tuberculate. The calyces have spindles with smaller tubercles (Fig. 19 b). The interior has small spindles and rods, up to 0.15 mm long (Fig. 19 e). Colour. Alive, RMNH Coel. 38779 was white, preserved it is also white. Sclerites are colourless. Variability. RMNH Coel. 38780 is a larger colony but the sclerites resemble those of RMNH Coel. 38779 (Fig. 20); only the subsurface spindles and rods are slightly different (see Fig. 19 e and Fig. 20 e). Remarks. This species also has rather big sclerites for a species of Euplexaura, it differs from E. rhipidalis and E. plana in having cylindrical branches, somewhat smaller surface sclerites, and differently shaped subsurface ones. Many species of Euplexaura resemble the present material, because of inadequate descriptions it is to date impossible to identify the colonies to hand.Published as part of Namin, Samimi & Ofwegen, Van, 2009, Some shallow water octocorals (Coelenterata: Anthozoa) of the Persian Gulf, pp. 1-52 in Zootaxa 2058 on page 28, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18674
