The rare stenopodid shrimp, Stenopus devaneyi Goy, 1984, is reported for the first time in Western Indian Ocean (WIO), at 60 m depth Mayotte Island. No specimens were collected but species recognized confidently on photographs based its characteristic colour pattern: two large red spots sides of second abdominal somite. Selected photos are presented. Former Indo-West-Pacific records listed with...

The Coral Triangle in the Indo-Pacific is a region renowned for exceptional marine biodiversity. The area could have acted as a 'centre of origin' where speciation has been prolific or a 'centre of survival' by providing refuge during major environmental shifts such as sea-level changes. The region could also have acted as a 'centre of accumulation' for species with origins outside of the Coral...

17 18 Regional patterns of tropical Indo-Pacific climate change are investigated over the last six 19 decades based on a synthesis of in situ observations and ocean model simulations, with a 20 focus on physical consistency among sea surface temperature (SST), cloud, sea level 21 pressure (SLP), surface wind, and subsurface ocean temperature. A newly-developed 22 bias-corrected surface wind dat...

In the observations, El Niño events initiated by a subtropical Pacific mechanism (SP-onset Niños) show larger uncertainty in their decay evolution patterns than those tropical mechanism. A 2,200-year simulation of Community Earth System Model reproduces this observed feature and its SP-onset Niños are analyzed to understand cause large uncertainty. Results that onset location Niño, which intera...
