International Marine Conservation Congress
30 July - 3 August 2016 • St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador (YYT)
To conserve the world’s oceans we must go beyond science, and use it to inform policy and management, and ultimately to catalyze change. The Society for Conservation Biology's International Marine Conservation Congress (IMCC) brings together conservation professionals and students to develop new and powerful tools to further marine conservation science and policy.
The Call for Abstracts is currently open!
IMCCs are organized by the Marine Section of the Society for Conservation Biology.
IWSC4
The IWSC4 website is now live at http://www.iwsc4.com/, and registration and abstracts are being accepted online for oral and poster sessions. The deadline for abstract submission is January 15, 2016. Additional details can be found on the website, along with a printable meeting poster (poster attached here as well).
This international gathering of whale shark scientists, conservationists and decision-makers will feature the most recent advances in research, conservation and management of whale sharks globally. The meeting will further highlight research on whale shark populations in the Arabian Gulf. The conference will integrate six themes: 1) Growth and Reproduction, 2) Behavior and Ecology; 3) Physiology; 4) Genetics; 5) Wildlife Tourism; and 6) Threats and Management. Meeting proceedings will be published in the peer-reviewed, open access journal Qscience Connect (http://www.qscience.com/loi/connect).
Registration is now open for the IUCN World Conservation Congress, taking place from 1 to 10 September 2016 in Hawaiʻi, U.S.A. Visit the Congress website to register for the event and book your accommodation.

Newly described species/Taxonomic News:
EXTANT:
WHITE, W.T. & LAST, P.R. (2016): Platyrhina psomadakisi sp. nov., a new species of fanray (Batoidea: Platyrhinidae) from the Andaman Sea, the first record of this family in the Indian Ocean.. Zootaxa, 4121 (5): 533–544
New species: Platyrhina psomadakisi
Abstract: A new species of fanray (Platyrhina) is described based on four specimens collected in 2015 from the Andaman Sea, off Myanmar. These represent the first records of the family Platyrhinidae from the Indian Ocean with the three other members of the genus being restricted to the North-West Pacific. The new species differs from its congeners in having a series of faint dark bands on the body and tail, more pectoral-fin radials, and much more widely separated dorsal fins.
DE F. VIANA, S.T. & DE CARVALHO, M.R. (2016): Redescription of Squalus acutipinnis Regan, 1908, a Valid Species of Spiny Dogfish from Southern Africa (Chondrichthyes: Squaliformes: Squalidae). Copeia, 104 (2): 539-553
New species: Squalus acutipinnis (Redescription)
Abstract: The Bluntnose spiny dogfish Squalus acutipinnis Regan, 1908 is redescribed based on the re-examination of its type specimens and non-type material from Southern Africa. The taxonomic confusion concerning its validity is mainly related to its heterogeneous type series. Its taxonomic status is clarified as a valid species endemic to the Southwestern Indian Ocean when compared to congeners from the region and other valid species with which it has been placed in synonymy. Squalus acutipinnis can be distinguished from all species of the “megalops-cubensisgroup” by fewer total, precaudal, and monospondylous vertebrae (except from Squalus megalops, Squalus brevirostris, and Squalus crassispinus). Squalus acutipinnis is clearly distinct fromSqualus megalops from Southern Australia and the Japanese S. brevirostris through characters of pectoral fin and external measurements. The South African species differs from S. crassispinus by having more slender first and second dorsal-fin spines. Squalus acutipinnis is also easily distinguished from the regional congeners S. acanthias, S. blainvillei, and S. mitsukuriiby having lanceolate dermal denticles (vs. non-lanceolate unicuspid denticles in S. acanthias, and non-lanceolate tricuspid denticles in S. blainvillei and S. mitsukurii).
FOSSIL:
MAISCH, M.W. & MATZKE, A.T. (2016): A new hybodontid shark (Chondrichthyes, Hybodontiformes) from the Lower Jurassic Posidonienschiefer Formation of Dotternhausen, SW Germany. Neues Jahrbuch für Geologie und Paläontologie, Abhandlungen, 280 (3): 241-257
New genus: Crassodus
New species: Crassodus reifi
Abstract: A new genus and species of hybodontid shark, Crassodus reifi, is described from the upper Falciferum Zone of the Posidonienschiefer Formation (Lower Toarcian) of Dotternhausen, Baden-Württemberg, southwestern Germany. The type and only specimen comprises the Meckelian cartilages, palatoquadrates, remains of the labial cartilages and branchial skeleton as well as a large portion of the dentition. Comparison to other hybodontids shows a strong resemblance to Hybodus delabechei from the Sinemurian–Pliensbachian (?Toarcian) of Western Europe. H. delabechei is possibly a member of the new genus Crassodus but needs reinvestigation. Crassodus reifi and "Hybodus" delabechei deviate strongly in the characters of their dentition from the type species of the genus Hybodus, H. reticulatus Agassiz, 1837. The new genus Crassodus most probably represents a rather basal hybodontine hybodontid, whereasHybodus sensu stricto is more closely related to other derived hybodontine genera with longicone, high-crowned teeth, such as Priohybodus, Planohybodus, Meristiodonoides andSecarodus.

GOLESTANINASAB, M. & MALEK, M. (2016): Two new species of Rhinebothrium (Cestoda: Rhinebothriidea) from granulated guitarfish Glaucostegus granulatus in the Gulf of Oman. Journal of Helminthology, 90 (4): 441-454
New species: Rhinebothrium kruppi, Rhinebothrium persicum
Abstract: During a study of the rhinebothriideans of rays in the Gulf of Oman, two new species ofRhinebothrium Linton, 1890, Rhinebothrium kruppi sp. n. and R. persicum sp. n., were identified inGlaucostegus granulatus (Cuvier). Some significant features that distinguish R. kruppi sp. n. fromR. persicum sp. n. include: scolex characteristics (hinged with 42-46 loculi vs. fusiform with 68-62 loculi), number of testes (4-5 vs. 20-27), genital pore position (61.1-76.9% of proglottid length vs. 47.2-63.3%), ovarian morphology (lobulated vs. follicular), cirrus-sac expansion (past midline of proglottid vs. limited to poral side of proglottid), vas deferens configuration (spanning posteriorly to near ovarian isthmus vs. to the level of ovarian anterior margins) and details of microthrix morphology. In addition, a combination of the aforementioned characteristics can be used to distinguish these two new species from other valid species of Rhinebothrium. These are the first species of rhinebothriidean cestodes to be described systematically from the Gulf of Oman, Iran. The two new species reported here increase the number of valid species of Rhinebothrium to 43.
