Öj~/ Ribbon Worm Relationships: a Phyiogeny of the Phylum Nemertea öj~/ Received 20 August 2002 THE ROYAL Accepted 29 October 2002 SOCIETY Published online 15 January' 2003 Ribbon worm relationships: a phyiogeny of the phylum Nemertea Mikael Thollesson*t and Jon L. Norenburg Systematic Biology, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC 20560-0163, USA ([email protected]) We present the most extensive phylogenetic analysis to date, to our knowledge, of higher-level nemertcan relationships, based on sequence data from four different genes (the nuclear genes for nuclear large subiinit rRNA (28S rRNA) and histonc H3 (H3), and the mitochondrial genes for mitochondria! large subunit rRNA (16S rRNA) and cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI)). Well-supported clades are, in general, compatible with earlier, more limited, analyses, and current classification is largely in agreement with our results, although there are some notable exceptions. Bdellonemertea (represented by Malacobdella) is found to be a part of Monostilifera, and Polystilifera is the monophyletic sister group to Monostilifera. Cratenemertidae is the sister group to the remaining monostiliferans (including Malacobdella), a group to which we apply the new name Distromatonemertea. Heteronemertea is monophyletic and forms a clade with Hubrechtella; for this clade we introduce the name Pilidiophora. Finally, Pilidiophora and Hoplone- mertea (with Malacobdella) form a monophyletic group, and we introduce the name Neonemertea to refer to this group. Palaeonemertea is found to be non-monophyletic and basal among nemerteans. Keywords: phylogenetic analysis; DNA sequence data; spiralians; phylogenetic taxonomy; Bayesian analysis 1.

Benthic macroinvertebrates are commonly included in studies to monitor the effects of human and natural stresses on marine and estuarine ecosystems. There are several reasons for this. Macroinvertebrates (here defined as animals retained on a 0.5-mm mesh sieve) are abundant in most coastal and estuarine sediments, typically on the order of 103 to 104 per meter squared. Benthic communities are typically composed of many taxa from different phyla, and quantitative measures of community diversity (e.g., Rosenberg et al. 2004) and the relative abundance of animals with different feeding behaviors (e.g., Weisberg et al. 1997, Pelletier et al. 2010), can be used to evaluate ecosystem health. Because most benthic invertebrates are sedentary as adults, they function as integrators, over periods of months to years, of the properties of their environment.

CHAPTERS These include species-rich taxa such as Nematoda and Platyhelminthes, and as taxa with few or even only one species, such as Micrognathozoa (Limnognathia maerski) and Cycliophora (Symbion pandora). All Acanthocephala and subgroups of Platyhelminthes and Nematoda, are parasites that often exhibit complex life cycles. Most of the taxa described are marine, but some have also invaded freshwater or the terrestrial environment. “Aschelminthes” are not a natural group, instead, two taxa have been recognized that were earlier summarized under this name. Gnathifera include taxa with a conspicuous jaw apparatus such as Gnathostomulida, Micrognathozoa, and Rotifera. Although they do not possess a jaw apparatus, Acanthocephala also belong to Gnathifera due to their epidermal structure. ©Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS) BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE FUNDAMENTALS AND SYSTEMATICS – Vol.

Alfaya3 Nemertean classification has closely followed Stiasny‐ Fernando Ángel Fernández‐Álvarez4 Wijnhoff’s scheme (1936) that was based on Schultze’s Håkan S Andersson5 (1851) division of the taxon into the two classes Anopla and Sonia C. S. Andrade6 Enopla. In August 2018, the 9th International Conference of Thomas Bartolomaeus7 Nemertean Biology took place in the Wadden Sea Station of Patrick Beckers7 the Alfred Wegener Institute in List auf Sylt, Germany. At Gregorio Bigatti3 this meeting, the community reached consensus to revise ne- Irina Cherneva8 mertean taxonomy at the class level, based on the compiled Alexey Chernyshev9,10 evidence from studies on nemertean systematics published Brian M. Chung11 in the last 15 years (Andrade et al., 2014, 2012 ; Thollesson Jörn von Döhren7 & Norenburg, 2003). Previous classifications (e.g., Stiasny‐ Gonzalo Giribet12 Wijnhoff, 1936) are not based on phylogenetic grounds, and Jaime Gonzalez‐Cueto13 the use of these names is therefore nowadays not wholly in- Alfonso Herrera‐Bachiller14 formative.

Fowler and Kulm (19701, in a predominantly geolgg isal study, used the presence of sublittor31 and planktsnic foraminiferans as an indication of uplift of tfie deep-sea fioor. Their resuits showed tiac sedinenta ana foraminiferans are depositea in the Zscanaba Trough, in the southern part of the Corda Ridge, by turbidity currents with a continental origin. They list 22 species of fararniniferans from the Gorda Rise (See Appendix 13. A more recent study collected geophysical, geological, and biological data from the Gorda Ridge, with particular emphasis on the northern part of the Ridge (Clague et al. 19843. Geological data suggest the presence of widespread low-temperature hydrothermal activity along the axf s of the northern two-thirds of the Corda 3idge. However, the relative age of these vents, their present activity and presence of sulfide deposits are currently unknown. The biological data, again with an emphasis on foraminiferans, indicate relatively high species diversity and high density , perhaps assoc iated with widespread hydrotheraal activity.

  • Mechanics Unlocks the Morphogenetic Puzzle of Interlocking Bivalved Shells
    Mechanics unlocks the morphogenetic puzzle of interlocking bivalved shells Derek E.

Rice, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX, and accepted by Editorial Board Member David Jablonski November 11, 2019 (received for review September 24, 2019) Brachiopods and mollusks are 2 shell-bearing phyla that diverged tal events causing shell injuries. Yet, in all cases the interlocking from a common shell-less ancestor more than 540 million years ago. of the 2 shell edges is tightly maintained. These observations Brachiopods and bivalve mollusks have also convergently evolved imply that the interlocking pattern emerges as the result of epi- a bivalved shell that displays an apparently mundane, yet strik- genetic interactions modulating the behavior of the secreting ing feature from a developmental point of view: When the shell mantle during shell development. is closed, the 2 valve edges meet each other in a commissure that Here, we provide a geometric and mechanical explanation forms a continuum with no gaps or overlaps despite the fact that for this morphological trait based on a detailed analysis of the each valve, secreted by 2 mantle lobes, may present antisymmet- shell geometry during growth and the physical interaction of the ric ornamental patterns of varying regularity and size. Interlock- shell-secreting soft mantle with both the rigid shell edge and ing is maintained throughout the entirety of development, even the opposing mantle lobe.

Zattara, [email protected] Abstract Animals vary widely in their ability to regenerate, suggesting that regenerative abilities have a rich evolutionary history. However, our understanding of this history remains limited because regeneration ability has only been evaluated in a tiny fraction of species. Available comparative regeneration studies have identified losses of regenerative ability, yet clear documentation of gains is lacking. We surveyed regenerative ability in 34 species spanning the phylum Nemertea, assessing the ability to regenerate heads and tails either through our own experiments or from literature reports. Our sampling included representatives of the 10 most diverse families and all three orders comprising this phylum.
