DNA barcoding the phyllosoma of Scyllarides squammosus (H. Milne Edwards, 1837) (Decapoda: Achelata: Scyllaridae)
2016
Scyllarides has the largest number of species with commercial importance within the Scyllaridae family. As for other achelate lobsters, however, little is known of the unique long-lived planktonic phyllosoma stages of any of these tropical and temperate species. Recently, a large and diverse collection of Scyllaridae phyllosoma, compiled from cruises along the Coral Sea and spanning several years, has been analysed. Molecular evidence from DNA-barcoding and phylogenetic analyses is provided here on the identity of S. squammosus phyllosoma larvae, including stages that were previously undescribed or poorly known. As a consequence, the growth and morphological changes that occur during the mi…
Revision of the west african species of scyllarus fabricius, 1775 (Decapoda: Achelata: Scyllaridae), with the description of three phyllosoma stages …

West African species of Scyllarus Fabricius, 1775 (Achelata, Scyllaridae) are poorly known, mostly due to the difficulties of sampling Eastern Atlantic tropical waters. Recent expeditions carried out by the Universidad de Cádiz and the Instituto Español de Oceanografía collected phyllosoma larvae from Cape Verde Islands (CVI) and fresh Scyllarus adults from continental West Africa. Larval stages VII, IX, and X (final stage) of S. caparti Holthuis, 1952 are analyzed using DNA barcoding methods and described for the first time. A comprehensive identification key is provided, summarizing our current knowledge on the phyllosomas of Scyllarus. Together with a revision of museum collections, the …

Slipper lobsters from Atlantic waters: revision of Scyllarus Fabricius, 1775 (Crustacea: Scyllaridae) using a multiple-evidence approach
2020
L’infraordre Achelata (Crustacea: Decapoda) es caracteritza per la seua manca de pinces al primer parell de pereopodis i per la presència d’una forma larval altament especialitzada, la larva fil·losoma. Tradicionalment, les diferències morfològiques entre els adults i les fil·losomes han dificultat la identificació de les larves de llagosta. En els últims anys, l’ús del codi de barres d’ADN (DNA barcoding en anglès) ens ha permés identificar mostres de plàncton a nivell d’espècie. Aquesta tesi es centra en l’estudi de les espècies de Scyllarinae presents a l’oceà Atlàntic oriental, per a la majoria de les quals la forma larval encara és desconeguda. El material de la tesi inclou una gran qu…
Bons et mauvais élèves du professeur d’amour dans le livre XIV des Métamorphoses d’Ovide
2011
The story of Circe, Scylla and Glaucus is presented as an elegiac episode of Metamorphoses. However, the characters, who are, themselves, ignorant of the elegiac code, behave in accordance with that of the epic poem, and accordingly commit a series of erotic blunders, which they pay for dearly. Beside J. Fabre-Serris’ political analysis, a literary reading of the story is also possible. In fact, the clumsy trio contrasts with the couple Vertumnus and Pomona, also portrayed in book XIV, in which the lover is a perfect elegiac hero who succeeds brilliantly. By implicitly contrasting the two modes of conduct and by portraying a triumphant elegiac hero, Ovid casts judgement on the relative wort…
