Ford Doolittle, Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS, Canada, and approved May 21, 2012 (received for review February 24, 2012) Microorganisms often form symbiotic relationships with eukar- ties (11, 12). Symbionts also can be transmitted vertically through yotes, and the complexity of these relationships can range from reproductive cells and larvae, as has been demonstrated in those with one single dominant symbiont to associations with sponges (13, 14), insects (15), ascidians (16), bivalves (17), and hundreds of symbiont species. Microbial symbionts occupying various other animals (18). Vertical transmission generally leads equivalent niches in different eukaryotic hosts may share func- to microbial communities with limited variation in taxonomy and tional aspects, and convergent genome evolution has been function among host individuals. reported for simple symbiont systems in insects. However, for Niches with similar selections may exist in phylogenetically complex symbiont communities, it is largely unknown how prev- divergent hosts that lead comparable lifestyles or have similar alent functional equivalence is and whether equivalent functions physiological properties.

  • Comparing Deep-Sea Sponges of the Species Geodia Barretti from Different Locations in the North Atlantic
    Comparing deep-sea sponges of the species Geodia barretti from different locations in the North Atlantic Isabel Ordaz Németh The study of genetic and geographic structures of populations for poorly studied species is not exactly straightforward. It is difficult to accurately compare populations of a species from which no genetic data is available. So, is there a way of comparing populations of such as species? There is one possibility, which is by using genetic markers called “Exon-Primed Intron- Crossing” (EPIC) markers. These markers, which are first designed for well-studied species, find a specific piece of DNA that all individuals of a species have. So, by using the markers we can, for example, take the same DNA fragment from several individuals that come from different locations. Then we translate the DNA fragments of these individuals and look at how different they are. This can give us a lot of information about the relationships within and between the populations of a species, as well as its history. Since a lot of genetic information is conserved across different species, we can test these markers on a species that we barely know, and the probability of finding a corresponding DNA fragment can still be quite high. EPIC markers could be very useful for different studies but they haven’t been extensively used since they are relatively new. In this project, the markers were tested on samples of the deep-sea sponge Geodia barretti. The sponges that were used came from different locations; from the Mediterranean Sea, to the coast of Norway, and all the way to the other side of the Atlantic, by the Eastern coast of Canada.

(ProTECTOR) in the Bay Islands of Honduras. The report covers activities of ProTECTOR up to and including the 2008 calendar year and is provided in partial fulfillment of the permit agreement provided to ProTECTOR from 2006 to the end of 2008 by the Secretariat for Agriculture and Ranching (SAG). ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ProTECTOR and TAPS recognize that without the financial and logistical assistance of the “Escuela de Buceo Reef House,” this project would not have been initiated. We thank the owners and staff of that facility for their interest in sea turtle conservation and their invaluable efforts on behalf of the sea turtles of Honduras.

  • A Phylogeographic Study of the Deep-Sea Sponge Geodia Barretti Using Exon-Primed Intron-Crossing (EPIC) Markers

The possibility of using Exon-Primed Intron-Crossing (EPIC) markers in the deep-sea sponge species Geodia barretti is explored in this project. The sponge specimens that were tested came from different localities of the North Atlantic. Results: An EPIC marker was found to show genetic variability among the sponge specimens. Based on the resulting DNA sequences of the sponges, a phylogenetic analysis was made, which showed the genetic connectivity among them. Conclusions: EPIC markers are effective genetic markers variable enough to apply them to poorly studied marine species such as G.

  • Modeling the Distribution of Geodia Sponges and Sponge Grounds in the Northwest Atlantic
    Modeling the Distribution of Geodia Sponges and Sponge Grounds in the Northwest Atlantic Anders Knudby1*, Ellen Kenchington2, Francisco Javier Murillo2,3 1 Department of Geography, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, 2 Bedford Institute of Oceanography, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada, 3 Instituto Español de Oceanografía, Centro Oceanográfico de Vigo, Programa de Pesquerías Lejanas, Vigo, Spain, Abstract Deep-sea sponge grounds provide structurally complex habitat for fish and invertebrates and enhance local biodiversity. They are also vulnerable to bottom-contact fisheries and prime candidates for Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem designation and related conservation action. This study uses species distribution modeling, based on presence and absence observations of Geodia spp. and sponge grounds derived from research trawl catches, as well as spatially continuous data on the physical and biological ocean environment derived from satellite data and oceanographic models, to model the distribution of Geodia sponges and sponge grounds in the Northwest Atlantic. Most models produce excellent fits with validation data although fits are reduced when models are extrapolated to new areas, especially when oceanographic regimes differ between areas. Depth and minimum bottom salinity were important predictors in most models, and a Geodia spp. minimum bottom salinity tolerance threshold in the 34.3-34.8 psu range was hypothesized on the basis of model structure. The models indicated two currently unsampled regions within the study area, the deeper parts of Baffin Bay and the Newfoundland and Labrador slopes, where future sponge grounds are most likely to be found.
