    Marine Algae of Amchitka Island (Aleutian Islands). II. Bonnemaisoniaceae' MICHAEL J. WYNNE2 ABSTRACT: Pleuroblepbaris stichidophora gen. et sp. nov., from Amchitka Island in the Aleutian Island s, is described as new to science. This taxon is the only repre­ sentative of the Bonnemaisoniaceae (Nemaliales, Rhodophyta) collected at Am­ chitka. It is distinguished from other members of the family by the presence of macroscopic tetrasporophytes with compound tetrasporangial stichidia arising along the margins of laminate axes. These tetrasporic branchlets are homologous to in­ determinate branches. Gland cells with brownish contents are present over the sur­ face of the laminate axes and also on the stichidia. Although numerous specimens have been collected, tetrasporic plants are the only fertile stages observed so far.

Wc repon Asparagopsis taxi/ormis from Trapani, on the western coast or Sicily, where game­ tophytcs havc becn collected for the first lime in May 2000. This is the fi rst record of gamelo­ phytes from Italy and the second record from the western Mediterranean, {he previous one being from Ihe Balearic lslands. Vet. the earliesl Med iterranean record of sporophylcs or Asparagopsis (Ihal could represenl this species or A. armata) dates back IO 1883 from the Island 01' Elba. Thc Sicilian gametophytes were dioecious, in agreement with some authors, ditTering from plants recorded in New Zealand and Australia that ha ve been consistently reported to be monoecious. Whether the gametophytcs from Trapani represent a recent introduction or are the product of meiosis in local populations of Falkenbergia is unknown. Introduction Asparagopsis taxiformis (Delile) Trevisan exhibits a heteromorphic Iife hi story, where the erect gametophytic stage alternates with a filamentous sporophyte referred to Fa/kenbergia hillebrandii (Bomet) Falkenberg (Chihara 1961; Rojas & al. 1982). The species is presently widespread in the tropics and the subtropics around the globe (Bonin & Hawkes 1987; Womersley 1994; Vijayaraghavan & Bhatia 1997; Wynne 1998; Marshall & al. 1999).

Its cylindrical, bare main stolons (1mm wide, 200 mm long) are irregularly branched, with bushy fronds. Its lower branchlets are long and have hooks that resemble harpoons. 2013-2021 © IUCN Centre for Mediterranean Cooperation. More info: www.iucn-medmis.org Pag. 1/5 Mediterranean invasive species factsheet www.iucn-medmis.org Another alien species of red algae, Bonnemaisonia hamifera, occurs in similar Identification and Habitat habitats. It can be distinguished in its gametophyte stage by the crozier-shaped, The gametophyte stage is pale purplish-red, hook-like, modified branches that it forms. quickly degenerating when removed from the Other species that look similar water and becoming distinctly orange. It can be found growing as an epiphytic alga on other algal species, especially Corallina sp. The tetrasporophyte stage is a brownish-red, filamentous, branched alga, forming dense cotton-wool-like tufts 15 mm in diameter. Usually this alga develops on infralittoral rocky bottoms from the surface to a depth of 40 m. Reproduction It is able to reproduce sexually and has a two-phase (heteromorphic diplohaplontic) life cycle with two main morphologically different stages during its development. The gametophyte phase, which was the form named Asparagopsis armata, has either male or female organs; this is followed by a microscopic carposporophyte middle stage, and then by the tetrasporophyte phase, which was originally named Falkenbergia rufolanosa.

Dawes Depaftmenl of Botany and Martin Ryan Marine Science Institute, University College Galway, National Llniversity of lreland, Galway, Ireland; Department of Biology, University of South Florida, Tampa, Florida, USA (Revision received 23 December 1991; accepted24 Jantary 1992) Abstract: The formation of tetrasporangiain Falkenbergia-phasetetrasporophytes of Asparagopsisarmata Harvey (Rhodophyta : Bonnemaisoniales)isolated from introduced populations in Ireland and Italy, and from native populations in Victoria, Australia, was examinedin temperature-controlledwater-baths at 2'C intervalsfrom 11-23 " C and aI 1- or 0.5-hdaylength intervals from 8-12 h. At a daylengthof 8 h, Irish plants formed tetrasporangia only at (15-)17(-21)'C, Italian plants at 17-21'C and Australian plants at l3-17'C. However, after an incubation period of 5 wk, only the Italian strain consistentlyshowed 100/. reproduction under these conditions. At 17'C, the critical daylengthfor tetrasporogenesisis 8-9 h for the Irish and Australian strains and 9-10 h for the Italian strain. These results indicate that all three isolates differ in their responseto environmental variables.It is likely that the Mediterranean and Irish populations thus representseparate introductions into the Northern Hemisphere and that Australia was not the source of these plants. The abundance of gametophytesof this speciesat Messina, Sicily, in April and May is explained by a reproductive "window" of daylength and temperature for tetrasporogenesisfrom mid- November to late January.

  • Nuclear DNA Content Variation in Life History Phases of the Bonnemasoniaceae (Rhodophyta)
    Nuclear DNA Content Variation in Life History Phases of the Bonnemasoniaceae (Rhodophyta) Noemi Salvador Soler1, Amelia Go´ mez Garreta2*,Ma Antonia Ribera Siguan2, Donald F. Kapraun3 1 Education Department, Universidad Auto´noma de Chile, Temuco, Chile, 2 Laboratori de Bota`nica, Facultat de Farma`cia, Universitat de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain, 3 Department of Biology & Marine Biology, University of North Carolina Wilmington, Wilmington, North Carolina, United States of America Abstract Nuclear DNA content in gametophytes and sporophytes or the prostrate phases of the following species of Bonnemaisoniaceae (Asparagopsis armata, Asparagopsis taxiformis, Bonnemaisonia asparagoides, Bonnemaisonia clavata and Bonnemaisonia hamifera) were estimated by image analysis and static microspectrophotometry using the DNA- localizing fluorochrome DAPI (49, 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, dilactate) and the chicken erythrocytes standard. These estimates expand on the Kew database of DNA nuclear content. DNA content values for 1C nuclei in the gametophytes (spermatia and vegetative cells) range from 0.5 pg to 0.8 pg, and for 2C nuclei in the sporophytes or the prostrate phases range from 1.15–1.7 pg. Although only the 2C and 4C values were observed in the sporophyte or the prostrate phase, in the vegetative cells of the gametophyte the values oscillated from 1C to 4C, showing the possible start of endopolyploidy. The results confirm the alternation of nuclear phases in these Bonnemaisoniaceae species, in those that have tetrasporogenesis, as well as those that have somatic meiosis. The availability of a consensus phylogenetic tree for Bonnemaisoniaceae has opened the way to determine evolutionary trends in DNA contents. Both the estimated genome sizes and the published chromosome numbers for Bonnemaisoniaceae suggest a narrow range of values consistent with the conservation of an ancestral genome.
