  • Towards Understanding the Phylogenetic History of Hydrozoa: Hypothesis Testing with 18S Gene Sequence Data*
    SCI. MAR., 64 (Supl. 1): 5-22 SCIENTIA MARINA 2000 TRENDS IN HYDROZOAN BIOLOGY - IV. C.E. MILLS, F. BOERO, A. MIGOTTO and J.M. GILI (eds.) Towards understanding the phylogenetic history of Hydrozoa: Hypothesis testing with 18S gene sequence data* A. G. COLLINS Department of Integrative Biology and Museum of Paleontology, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA SUMMARY: Although systematic treatments of Hydrozoa have been notoriously difficult, a great deal of useful informa- tion on morphologies and life histories has steadily accumulated. From the assimilation of this information, numerous hypotheses of the phylogenetic relationships of the major groups of Hydrozoa have been offered. Here I evaluate these hypotheses using the complete sequence of the 18S gene for 35 hydrozoan species. New 18S sequences for 31 hydrozoans, 6 scyphozoans, one cubozoan, and one anthozoan are reported. Parsimony analyses of two datasets that include the new 18S sequences are used to assess the relative strengths and weaknesses of a list of phylogenetic hypotheses that deal with Hydro- zoa. Alternative measures of tree optimality, minimum evolution and maximum likelihood, are used to evaluate the relia- bility of the parsimony analyses. Hydrozoa appears to be composed of two clades, herein called Trachylina and Hydroidolina. Trachylina consists of Limnomedusae, Narcomedusae, and Trachymedusae. Narcomedusae is not likely to be the basal group of Trachylina, but is instead derived directly from within Trachymedusae. This implies the secondary gain of a polyp stage. Hydroidolina consists of Capitata, Filifera, Hydridae, Leptomedusae, and Siphonophora. “Anthomedusae” may not form a monophyletic grouping. However, the relationships among the hydroidolinan groups are difficult to resolve with the present set of data.

  • Characterization of Tentacle Branching Morphogenesis in the Jellyfish
    Characterization of tentacle branching morphogenesis in the jellyfish Cladonema pacificum Akiyo Fujiki1 Ayaki Nakamoto1 Gaku Kumano1 1 Research Center for Marine Biology, Asamushi, Graduate School of Life Sciences, Tohoku University To understand how tissues are shaped is a fundamental subject in the field of developmental biology. Among many tissue shaping events in animal development, we are particularly interested in branching morphogenesis. This study focuses on branching morphogenesis of the medusa tentacles of the jellyfish, Cladonema pacificum. One of the synapomorphic characters in the family Cladonematidae is that the medusa tentacles are branched with branches having nematocyst knobs and those having adhesive organs for landing. Therefore, studying tentacle branching mechanisms of Cladonema pacificum and other jellyfish species would provide us a useful insight into the evolutionary process of the acquisition of a novel morphological trait. In addition, since jellyfishes are not well-studied organisms and have simple cell constitutions, studying their branching morphogenesis might reveal a novel mechanism which might not be discovered in other branching phenomena such as those in the trachea of the fly, the mammalian lungs and angiogenesis of vertebrates. In this study, through analyses of the branching process of the Cladonema pacificum medusa tentacles, we try to obtain new knowledge to understand basic mechanisms of branching morphogenesis. As a first step toward this goal, we described how the tentacles are branched as well as how the branches with nematocyst knobs and adhesive organs form differently. To characterize the process of tentacle branching, we tracked the same tentacles during a period of one month starting from day 0, when small tentacles appeared on medusa buds.

Key words: Taxonomic revision; Millepora; Indonesia; new records; M. boschmai. This revision of Indonesian Millepora species is based on the morphology of museum specimens and photographed specimens in the field. Based on the use of pore characters and overall skeleton growth forms, which are normally used for the classification of Millepora, the present study concludes that six of seven Indo-Pacific species appear to occur in Indonesia, viz., M. dichotoma Forskål, 1775, M. exaesa Forskål, 1775, M. platyphylla Hemprich & Ehrenberg, 1834, M. intricata Milne-Edwards, 1857 (including M. intricata forma murrayi Quelch, 1884), M. tenera Boschma, 1949, and M. boschmai de Weerdt & Glynn, 1991, which so far was considered an East Pacific endemic. Of the 13 species previously reported from the Indo-Pacific, six were synonymized. M. murrayi Quelch, 1884, has been synonymized with M. intricata, which may show two distinct branching patterns, that may occur in separate corals or in a single one. M. latifolia Boschma, 1948, M. tuberosa Boschma, 1966, M. cruzi Nemenzo, 1975, M. xishaen- sis Zou, 1978, and M. nodulosa Nemenzo, 1984, are also considered synonyms.

INTRODUCCIÓN Una de las principales dificultades que plantea el estudio de cualquier grupo zoológico en un ámbito geográfico concreto, es la recopilación de la información previa existente con el objetivo de valorar los datos propios y la obtención de conclusiones. Ello puede suponer una tarea muy ardua, duradera y de difícil ejecución, particularmente para nuevos investigadores. Estas dificultades son mucho más acentuadas en aquellos phyla como Cnidaria, en los que la información se encuentra muy dispersa o hay escasez de estudios monográficos y revisiones. Además, la marcada heterogeneidad morfológica de sus especies –medusas, sifonóforos, corales, gorgonias, pennátulas, anémonas, antipatarios, etc,- ha llevado a los investigadores a interesarse y especializarse sólo en grupos taxonómicos muy concretos. Esta particularidad ha llegado al extremo de que en algunas de sus subclases (Anthomedusae Haeckel, 1879, Leptomedusae Haeckel, 1879), las sucesivas fases del ciclo vital de una misma especie (pólipo y medusa) han sido estudiadas tradicionalmente por investigadores diferentes y recibido, incluso, nombres distintos. Conseguir una clasificacion sistemática unitaria para ambos morfos ha sido motivo de intensas discusiones (ver BOUILLON, 1985) y ha cristalizado en trabajos recientes muy relevantes (BOUILLON & BOERO, 2000a, 2000b; BOUILLON et al., 2004).

Foto (c) Ken-ichi Ueda, algunos derechos reservados (CC BY-NC-SA) (http://www.naturalista.mx/taxa/51651-Sarsia-eximia) Sarsia eximia es una especie de hidroide atecado perteneciente a la familia Corynidae. Su distribución geográfica es muy amplia, siendo registrada en localidades costeras de todo el mundo. Se puede encontrar en una amplia gama de hábitats de la costa rocosa, pero también es abundante en algas y puede a menudo ser encontrado en las cuerdas y flotadores de trampas para langostas (GBIF, 2016). Información taxonómica Reino: Animalia Phylum: Cnidaria Clase: Hydrozoa Orden: Anthoathecata Familia: Corynidae Género: Sarsia Especie: Sarsia eximia (Allman, 1859) Nombre común: coral de fuego Sinónimo: Coryne eximia. Resultado: 0.2469 Categoría de riesgo: Medio Método de Evaluación Rápida de Invasividad (MERI) para especies exóticas en México Sarsia eximia (Allman, 1859). Descripción de la especie Sarsia eximia es una especie de hidroide marino colonial, formado por una hidrorriza filiforme de 184 micras de diámetro que recorre el substrato y de la que se elevan hidrocaules monosifónicos, que pueden alcanzar 2.3 cm de altura, con ramificaciones frecuentes, y ramas en un sólo plano, orientación distal y generalmente con un recurbamiento basal. Su diámetro es bastante uniforme en toda su longitud, con un perisarco espeso, liso u ondulado, y con numerosas anillaciones espaciadas. Típicamente se presentan 11-20 basales en el hidrocaule, y un número similar o superior en el inicio de las ramas, aunque asimismo existen algunas pequeñas agrupaciones irregulares en diversos puntos de la colonia, y en la totalidad de algunas ramas.

Listado de los cnidarios bentónicos (Cnidaria) del Golfo de Vizcaya y zonas próximas (Atlántico NE) (42º N a 48º30’N y 10º W). Proyecto Fauna Ibérica, Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, Madrid, 27 pp. Documento electrónico disponible en: http://www.faunaiberica.es/faunaib altuna7.pdf . (Última revisión: 01/10/2010). Resumen : mediante una revisión de la literatura y datos propios no publicados, se ha confeccionado un listado con la fauna de cnidarios bentónicos (Cnidaria) del Golfo de Vizcaya y zonas próximas, en un área geográfica comprendida entre los 42º N a 48º30’N y 10º W (Atlántico NE). Se han listado 421 especies, de las que 207 son medusozoos (Staurozoa, Scyphozoa, Hydrozoa) y 214 antozoos. De ellas, 336 (79.8 %) se conocen al sur del paralelo 44ºN (cornisa cantábrica española y Galicia). Se ha trazado asimismo la repartición batimétrica de cada especie, atribuyéndose en cada caso su presencia a los Dominios Bentónicos Costero (0-200 m) y Profundo (+200 m). Los medusozoos se encuentran más diversificados en el Dominio Costero, y los antozoos en el Dominio Profundo. En algunos grupos taxonómicos, incluso a nivel de orden, la biodiversidad conocida se estima próxima a la real.

  • (Hydrozoa, Anthomedusae) and the Use of 16S Rdna Sequences for Unpuzzling Systematic Relationships in Hydrozoa*

(Hydrozoa, Anthomedusae) and the use of 16S rDNA sequences for unpuzzling systematic relationships in Hydrozoa* BERND SCHIERWATER1,2 and ANDREA ENDER1 1Zoologisches Institut der J. W. Goethe-Universität, Siesmayerstr. 70, D-60054 Frankfurt, Germany, E-mail: [email protected] 2JTZ, Ecology and Evolution, Ti Ho Hannover, Bünteweg 17d, D-30559 Hannover, Germany. SUMMARY: A new hydrozoan species, Sarsia marii, is described by using morphological and molecular characters. Both morphological and 16S rDNA data place the new species together with other Sarsia species near the base of a clade that developed‚ “walking” tentacles in the medusa stage. The molecular data also suggest that the family Cladonematidae (Cladonema, Eleutheria, Staurocladia) is monophyletic. The taxonomic embedding of Sarsia marii n. sp. demonstrates the usefulness of 16S rDNA sequences for reconstructing phylogenetic relationships in Hydrozoa.
