Helminths of Antarctic Fishes: Life Cycle Biology
Acta Parasitologica, 2006, 51(1), 26–35; ISSN 1230-2821 Copyright © 2006 W. Stefañski Institute of Parasitology, PAS REVIEW ARTICLE Helminths of Antarctic fishes: Life cycle biology, Stefański specificity and geographical distribution Anna Rocka W. Stefański Institute of Parasitology, Polish Academy of Sciences, 51/55 Twarda Street, 00-818 Warsaw, Poland Abstract Bony fishes (Teleostei) play an important role in the completion of life cycles of helminth parasites in the Antarctica. These fish- es may be definitive, second intermediate or paratenic hosts of the helminths. The most species-rich taxon is Digenea. Virtually all of these digeneans use teleosts as definitive hosts. Only one species, Otodistomum cestoides, occurs as the adult stage in skates (Chondrichthyes), with teleosts as its second intermediate host. Among 14 cestode species maturing in fishes only one, Parabothriocephalus johnstoni, occurs in a bony fish, Macrourus whitsoni, whereas the others are parasites of Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fishes). Antarctic Chondrichthyes are not infected with nematode and acanthocephalan species. Specificity to the intermediate and/or paratenic hosts of the majority of Antarctic helminths is wide, whereas that for definitive hosts is often narrower, restricted to one order or sometimes even to one or two host species. Almost all of 73 helminth species maturing in Antarctic fishes are endemics. Only 4 digenean and one nematode species are cosmopolitan or bipolar. Key words Helminths, fish, biology, specificity, distribution, Antarctica Introduction Antarctic vertebrates are definitive hosts of internal para- Skóra sitic worms belonging to four helminth taxa: Digenea, Ces- Geographically the Antarctica comprises a continent, a vast toda, Nematoda and Acanthocephala.

[email protected] Abstract Microbial interactions are crucial for Earth ecosystem function, yet our knowledge about them is limited and has so far mainly existed as scattered records. Here, we have surveyed the literature involving planktonic protist interactions and gathered the information in a manually curated Protist Interaction DAtabase (PIDA). In total, we have registered ~2,500 ecological interactions from ~500 publications, spanning the last 150 years. -

Pusillus Poseidon's Guide to Protozoa
Pusillus Poseidon’s guide to PROTOZOA GENERAL NOTES ABOUT PROTOZOANS Protozoa are also called protists. The word “protist” is the more general term and includes all types of single-celled eukaryotes, whereas “protozoa” is more often used to describe the protists that are animal-like (as opposed to plant-like or fungi-like). Protists are measured using units called microns. There are 1000 microns in one millimeter. A millimeter is the smallest unit on a metric ruler and can be estimated with your fingers: The traditional way of classifying protists is by the way they look (morphology), by the way they move (mo- tility), and how and what they eat. This gives us terms such as ciliates, flagellates, ameboids, and all those colors of algae. Recently, the classification system has been overhauled and has become immensely complicated. (Infor- mation about DNA is now the primary consideration for classification, rather than how a creature looks or acts.) If you research these creatures on Wikipedia, you will see this new system being used. Bear in mind, however, that the categories are constantly shifting as we learn more and more about protist DNA. Here is a visual overview that might help you understand the wide range of similarities and differences. Some organisms fit into more than one category and some don’t fit well into any category. Always remember that classification is an artificial construct made by humans. The organisms don’t know anything about it and they don’t care what we think! CILIATES Eats anything smaller than Blepharisma looks slightly pink because it Blepharisma itself, even smaller Bleph- makes a red pigment that senses light (simi- arismas. -

diversity Article A Preliminary Survey on the Planktonic Biota in a Hypersaline Pond of Messolonghi Saltworks (W. Greece) George N. Hotos Plankton Culture Laboratory, Department of Animal Production, Fisheries & Aquaculture, University of Patras, 30200 Messolonghi, Greece; [email protected] Abstract: During a survey in 2015, an impressive assemblage of organisms was found in a hypersaline pond of the Messolonghi saltworks. The salinity ranged between 50 and 180 ppt, and the organisms that were found fell into the categories of Cyanobacteria (17 species), Chlorophytes (4 species), Diatoms (23 species), Dinoflagellates (1 species), Protozoa (40 species), Rotifers (8 species), Copepods (1 species), Artemia sp., one nematode and Alternaria sp. (Fungi). Fabrea salina was the most prominent protist among all samples and salinities. This ciliate has the potential to be a live food candidate for marine fish larvae. Asteromonas gracilis proved to be a sturdy microalga, performing well in a broad spectrum of culture salinities. Most of the specimens were identified to the genus level only. Based on their morphology, as there are no relevant records in Greece, there is a possibility for some to be either new species or strikingly different strains of certain species recorded elsewhere.

Section IV – Guideline for the Texas Priority Species List
Section IV – Guideline for the Texas Priority Species List Associated Tables The Texas Priority Species List……………..733 Introduction For many years the management and conservation of wildlife species has focused on the individual animal or population of interest. Many times, directing research and conservation plans toward individual species also benefits incidental species; sometimes entire ecosystems. Unfortunately, there are times when highly focused research and conservation of particular species can also harm peripheral species and their habitats. Management that is focused on entire habitats or communities would decrease the possibility of harming those incidental species or their habitats. A holistic management approach would potentially allow species within a community to take care of themselves (Savory 1988); however, the study of particular species of concern is still necessary due to the smaller scale at which individuals are studied. Until we understand all of the parts that make up the whole can we then focus more on the habitat management approach to conservation. Species Conservation In terms of species diversity, Texas is considered the second most diverse state in the Union. Texas has the highest number of bird and reptile taxon and is second in number of plants and mammals in the United States (NatureServe 2002). There have been over 600 species of bird that have been identified within the borders of Texas and 184 known species of mammal, including marine species that inhabit Texas’ coastal waters (Schmidly 2004). It is estimated that approximately 29,000 species of insect in Texas take up residence in every conceivable habitat, including rocky outcroppings, pitcher plant bogs, and on individual species of plants (Riley in publication).
