Bay (France), Bay of Biscay (France), Disko Bay (Greenland), Here we show that several different and diverse foraminiferal Gullmars Fjord (Sweden), Limfjorden (Denmark), the North Sea, groups (miliolids, rotaliids, textulariids) and Gromia, another taxon the Peruvian–Chilean OMZ, the Rhône prodelta (France), and also belonging to Rhizaria, accumulate and respire nitrates through the Skagerrak. In addition, 55 specimens belonging to the genus denitrification. The widespread occurrence among distantly re- Gromia were tested for nitrate content. This aquatic ameboid lated organisms suggests an ancient origin of the trait. The diverse protist genus bears an organic test and is thought to be the sister metabolic capacity of these organisms, which enables them to group of foraminifers within Rhizaria (10). respire with oxygen and nitrate and to sustain respiratory activity even when electron acceptors are absent from the environment, Results and Discussion may be one of the reasons for their successful colonization of Taxonomic Diversity Among Nitrate-Storing Foraminifers.

Introduction The first study about foraminifera from the southwestern Pacific near New Caledonia was carried out by Brady (1884) during the voyage of H.M.S. Challenger (1873-1876), updated by Barker (1960), The nearest station was station 177, near Vanuatu (16°45'S-168°5'E). However, studies concerning directly New Caledonia began much later, with partial and local inventories in coastal samples (Gambini,1958, 1959; Renaud-Debyser, 1965; Toulouse, 1965, 1966). Samples of recent and fossil sediments collected during the Singer-Polignac mission (1960-1965) were further used for several studies of foraminiferal assemblages (Coudray & Margerel, 1974; Coudray, 1976; Margerel, 1981).

P. BOUCHET2 ABSTRACT To validate in-situ observations, living foraminifera have The motion behaviour of three species of intertidal been used in the laboratory for nearly a century (e.g., Myers, foraminifera, Ammonia tepida, Cribroelphidium excavatum 1935; Le Calvez, 1938; Jepps, 1942; Arnold, 1953). In contrast, and Haynesina germanica, was investigated continuously in the the understanding of the behavioural ecology of foraminifera laboratory. We first infer the presence of geotactic and is still in its infancy, despite a fair amount of work related to phototactic responses. Significant geotactic responses were their vertical and horizontal rates of movement (Arnold, 1953, observed for all three species; A. tepida was found to be 1974; Zmiri et al., 1974; Severin & Erskian, 1981; Severin negatively geotactic while C. excavatum and H. germanica et al., 1982; Severin, 1987; Kitazato, 1988; Wetmore, 1988; showed positive geotaxis.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract We describe for the first time subtropical intertidal foraminiferal assemblages from beach sands on São Vincente, Cape Verdes. Sixty-five benthic foraminiferal species were recognised, representing 47 genera, 31 families, and 8 superfamilies. Endemic species were not recognised. The new checklist largely extends an earlier record of nine benthic foraminiferal species from fossil carbonate sands on the island. Bolivina striatula, Rosalina vilardeboana and Millettiana milletti dominated the living (rose Bengal stained) fauna, while Elphidium crispum, Amphistegina gibbosa, Quinqueloculina seminulum, Ammonia tepida, Triloculina rotunda and Glabratella patelliformis dominated the dead assemblages. The living fauna lacks species typical for coarse-grained substrates. Instead, there were species that had a planktonic stage in their life cycle. The living fauna therefore received a substantial contribution of floating species and propagules that may have endured a long transport by surface ocean currents. The dead assemblages largely differed from the living fauna and contained redeposited tests deriving from a rhodolith-mollusc carbonate facies at <20 m water depth.

Finger University of California Museum of Paleontology, Valley Life Sciences Building – 1101, Berkeley, CA 94720-4780, USA E-mail: [email protected] Received: 9 February 2017 / Accepted: 12 December 2017 / Published online: 15 February 2018 Handling editor: James T. Carlton Co-Editors’ Note: This is one of the papers from the special issue of Aquatic Invasions on “Transoceanic Dispersal of Marine Life from Japan to North America and the Hawaiian Islands as a Result of the Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami of 2011." The special issue was supported by funding provided by the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) of the Government of Japan through the North Pacific Marine Science Organization (PICES). Abstract This is the first report of long-distance transoceanic dispersal of coastal, shallow-water benthic foraminifera by ocean rafting, documenting survival and reproduction for up to four years. Fouling was sampled on rafted items (set adrift by the Tohoku tsunami that struck northeastern Honshu in March 2011) landing in North America and the Hawaiian Islands. Seventeen species of shallow-water benthic foraminifera were recovered from these debris objects. Eleven species are regarded as having been acquired in Japan, while two additional species (Planogypsina squamiformis (Chapman, 1901) and Homotrema rubra (Lamarck, 1816)) were obtained in the Indo-Pacific as those objects drifted into shallow tropical waters before turning north and east to North America.

However, despite its size and ubiquity, the phylogeny of the Cercozoa Rhizaria remains unclear as morphological variability between cercozoan species and ambiguity in molecular analyses, Phylogeny including phylogenomic approaches, have produced ambiguous results and raised doubts about the monophyly Phylogenomics of the group. Here we sought to resolve these ambiguities using a 161-gene phylogenetic dataset with data from Single-cell transcriptomics newly available genomes and deeply sequenced transcriptomes, including three new transcriptomes from Aurigamonas solis, Abollifer prolabens, and a novel species, Lapot gusevi n. gen. n. sp. Our phylogenomic analysis strongly supported a monophyletic Cercozoa, and approximately-unbiased tests rejected the paraphyletic topologies observed in previous studies. The transcriptome of L. gusevi represents the first transcriptomic data from the large and recently characterized Aquavolonidae-Treumulida-'Novel Clade 12′ group, and phyloge- nomics supported its position as sister to the cercozoan subphylum, Endomyxa. These results provide insights into the phylogeny of the Cercozoa and the Rhizaria as a whole.

Previous work has divided eukaryotic diversity into a small number of high-level ‘supergroups’, many of which receive strong support in phylogenomic analyses. However, the abundance of data in phylogenomic analyses can lead to highly supported but incorrect relationships due to systematic phylogenetic error. Further, the paucity of major eukaryotic lineages (19 or fewer) included in these genomic studies may exaggerate systematic error and reduces power to evaluate hypotheses.

Abstract The broad-scale tree of eukaryotes is constantly improving, but the evolutionary origin of several major groups remains unknown. Resolving the phylogenetic position of these ‘orphan’ groups is important, especially those that originated early in evolution, because they represent missing evolutionary links between established groups. Telonemia is one such orphan taxon for which little is known. The group is composed of molecularly diverse biflagellated protists, often prevalent although not abundant in aquatic environments.
