We quantified the effect of trematode parasites in cockles through a 303 d transplant experiment. Cockles were sampled in 3 different sites on the southwest coast of France characterized by 3 different trematode communities, i.e. Royan (RO): high Meiogymnophallus minutus abundance near cockle heart, South Arguin (SA): high Himasthla interrupta abundance in the mantle margin, and North Arguin (N...

Mantis shrimps (Crustacea: Stomatopoda) are potential aquaculture species as they are constantly fished from the wild to satisfy demands of the seafood industry. Breeding capacity of mantis shrimps in captivity is scarce and implies a gap in this area to achieve successful aquaculture practices for this species. A preliminary observation was conducted with locally obtained mantis shrimps Miyake...

The name Rhogogaster scalaris (Klug, 1817), species revocata, is to be applied to Rhogogaster viridis auct. New subjecti...

Two new names, Dracaena neoparviflora and ridleyii are proposed as replacement names for the illegitimate D. parviflora Baker, nutans Ridl., respectively, latter being a later homonym of Willd. ex Schult.f., H.Jaeger. Lectotypes designated D.cambodiana, interrupta (synonym camerooniana), oddonii cantleyi, cinnabari, cuspidibracteata congoensis), haemanthoides, litoralis braunii), parviflora, no...
