  • Genomic Insights of Body Plan Transitions from Bilateral to Pentameral Symmetry in Echinoderms

Andrew Cameron 19, Brian Livingston3, Cynthia Bradham20, Wen Wang 1,21,22 & Naoki Irie 9,14,22 Echinoderms are an exceptional group of bilaterians that develop pentameral adult symmetry from a bilaterally symmetric larva. However, the genetic basis in evolution and development of this unique transformation remains to be clarified. Here we report newly sequenced genomes, developmental transcriptomes, and proteomes of diverse echinoderms including the green sea urchin (L. variegatus), a sea cucumber (A. japonicus), and with particular emphasis on a sister group of the earliest-diverged echinoderms, the feather star (A. japo- nica). We learned that the last common ancestor of echinoderms retained a well-organized Hox cluster reminiscent of the hemichordate, and had gene sets involved in endoskeleton development. Further, unlike in other animal groups, the most conserved developmental stages were not at the body plan establishing phase, and genes normally involved in bila- terality appear to function in pentameric axis development. These results enhance our understanding of the divergence of protostomes and deuterostomes almost 500 Mya.

Zootaxa, 3367, 1–280. Abstract A new species of the genus Comanthus A.H. Clark, 1908, is described on the basis of specimens collected from Kume Island and Okinawa Island, the Ryukyu Islands, Japan. Comanthus kumi n. sp. is distinguished from all ten congeners by having extremely elongate arms exceeding 300 mm in length and the colouration in life. The new species concealed its whole body in a crevice or small hole on coral reefs during the day and protruded only several elongate arms on the reef surface at night. This habit suggests that the new species is nocturnal. Key words: Crinoidea, Comatulida, Comasteridae, new species, Okinawa Introduction The species of the comatulid genus Comanthus A.H.

  • Isocrinid Crinoids from the Late Cenozoic of Jamaica
    A tlantic G eology 195 Isocrinid crinoids from the late Cenozoic of Jamaica Stephen K. Donovan Department of Geology, University of the West Indies, Mona, Kingston 7, Jamaica Date Received April 8, 1994 Date A ccepted A ugust 26, 1994 Eight species of isocrinines have been documented from the Lower Cretaceous to Pleistocene of Jamaica. New finds include a second specimen of a Miocene species from central north Jamaica, previously regarded as Diplocrinus sp. but reclassified as Teliocrinus? sp. herein. Extant Teliocrinus is limited to the Indian Ocean, although Miocene specimens have been recorded from Japan, indicating a wider distribution during the Neogene. One locality in the early Pleistocene Manchioneal Formation of eastern Jamaica has yielded three species of isocrinine, Cenocrirtus asterius (Linne), Diplocrinus maclearanus (Thomson) and Neocrinus decorus Thomson. These occur in association with the bourgueticrinine Democrinus sp. or Monachocrinus sp. These taxa are all extant and suggest a minimum depositional depth for the Manchioneal Formation at this locality of about 180 m. This early Pleistocene fauna represents the most diverse assemblage of fossil crinoids docu­ mented from the Antillean region. Huit especes d’isocrinines de la periode du Cretace inferieur au Pleistocene de la Jamai'que ont ete documentees. Les nouvelles decouvertes comprennent un deuxieme specimen d’une espece du Miocene du nord central de la Jamai'que, auparavant consideree comme l’espece Diplocrinus, mais reclassifiee en tant que Teliocrinus? aux presentes. Le Teliocrinus existant est limite a l’ocean Indien, meme si on a releve des specimens du Miocene au Japon, ce qui est revelateur d’une distribution plus repandue au cours du Neogene.

Clark, 1911), that was collected from Geoje Island, at a depth of 47 m. The species is characterized by a small disk, covered by numerous fine scales, small radial shields that are wider than long, a small stumpy hook at the distal end of the radial shield, two tooth papilla, two adoral shield spines, 2nd adoral shield spine longer than other, tapered dramatically toward dull tip, five arms with four proximal arm spines, and two tentacle scales. We also obtained a 657 bp sequence from COI gene and the amplified sequence matched the general DNA barcoding region. The NJ and ML phylogenetic analyses revealed A. (A.) digitula as monophyletic in the Amphiura clade. This species is clearly distinguished from other Amphiura species by morphological characteristics and the mitochondrial COI sequence, and thus represents the sixth Amphiura species reported to occur in Korea.

  • Morphological Description and Molecular Analysis of Newly Recorded Anneissia Pinguis(Crinoidea: Comatulida: Comatulidae) from Ko

The specimens were identified as Anneissia pinguis (A.H. Clark, 1909), which belongs to the family Comatulidae of the order Comatulida. Anneissia pinguis was first described by A.H. Clark in 1909 around southern Japan. This species can be distinguished from other Anneissia species by a longish and stout cirrus, much fewer arms, and short distal cirrus segments. The morphological features of Korean specimens are as follows: large disk (20-35 mm), 28-36 segments and 32-43 mm length cirrus, division series in all 4 (3+4), very stout and strong distal pinnule with 18-19 comb and 40 arms. In Korea fauna, only three species of genus Anneissia were recorded: A. intermedia, A. japonica, and A. solaster. In this study, we provide the morphological description and phylogenetic analysis based on cytochrome c oxidase subunit I.

  • Crinoids from the Barremian (Lower Cretaceous) of the Serre De Bleyton (Drôme, SE France)
    ©Naturhistorisches Museum Wien, download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Ann. Naturhist. Mus. Wien, Serie A 112 733-774 Wien, Juni 2010 Crinoids from the Barremian (Lower Cretaceous) of the Serre de Bleyton (Drôme, SE France) By Manfred JÄGER (With 2 figures and 7 plates) Manuscript submitted on September 11th 2009, the revised manuscript on January 11th 2010 Abstract The Barremian of the Serre de Bleyton has yielded many disarticulated but well-preserved ele- ments of a diverse crinoid fauna of at least six species, dominated by comatulids (three species) and isocrinids (two species). The single apiocrinitid species is rare. Except for the large and well- known comatulid Decameros ricordeanus D’ORBIGNY, 1850, with specimens similar to the subspe- cies or variety vagnasensis (DE LORIOL, 1888), five of the six species are new. However, only for three of them a new species name is introduced, Isocrinus? bleytonensis nov. spec., Comatulina moosleitneri nov. spec. and Semiometra barremiensis nov. spec. Two fairly rare species, Per- cevalicrinus sp. and Apiocrinites sp., are described in open nomenclature. This Barremian fauna fills a stratigraphic gap from which only few crinoids had so far been de- scribed. Apart from some Hauterivian crinoids (mainly isocrinids), the stratigraphically nearest crinoid-rich (and especially comatulid-rich) horizons are the Valanginian of western Switzerland and southeastern France and especially the Aptian of southeastern France and Spain. The high percentage of new species is not surprising due to phylogenetic changes during the time span Valanginian – Aptian. Apart from these differences at species level, the crinoid fauna from the Serre de Bleyton fits well into the overall faunal composition known from Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous sites.

The crinoids of the ^^Gazelle'^-Expedition. By Austin Hobart Clark. eingeg. 24. Februar 1909. Among the marine invertebrates brought back by the German steamship »Gazelle« was a number of comatulids, taken on the west and northwest coast of Australia, and on the opposite coast of Timor. Although few in specimens and in species, this collection is one of more than ordinary interest in that it gives us some idea of the faunal rela- tions, in so far as the crinoids are concerned, of the unknown territory along the shores of west Australia. From King George's Haven in the southwest corner Commithus and Ptilometra. both tropical genera, are known, C. trichoptera and P. macronema having been described from there by Professor Johannes Müller over sixty years ago; and it was, of course, to be supposed that the coast line between King George's Sound and the Timor Sea would also prove to support a tro- pical fauna, progressively more and more intense as one proceeded northward, comparable to the conditions found on the east coast; but the entire absence of data prevented any such assumption, for it was quite possible that Comanthus axià Ptilometrahsià reached King George's Sound by creeping down from the Arafura Sea, along the eastern and southern coasts, and that the west coast either had no crinoids at all, or was inhabited by peculiar local formes.
