  • Gastrotricha from Beaufort, North Carolina, U.S.A
    GASTROTRICHA FROM BEAUFORT, NORTH CAROLINA, U.S.A. by William D. Hummon Department of Zoology and Microbiology, Ohio University, Athens, Ohio 4570I U.S.A. and Duke University Marine Laboratory, Beaufort, North Carolina. Résumé Thaumastoderma heideri et Aspidiophorus mediterraneus sont signalés ; Tur- banella ocellata n.sp., Aspidiophorus paramediterraneus n.sp. et Aspidiophorus multitubulatus n.sp. sont décrits du sable argileux de la zone intercotidale la plus basse de Pivers Island, Beaufort, North Carolina. De plus, Chaetonotus oligo- halinus n.sp. est décrit des détritus benthiques contenus sous les eaux de basse salinité d'un réservoir expérimental à Pivers Island. Introduction Thus far the Gastrotricha known from North Carolina are res- tricted to the report of Hawkes (unpubl. MS thesis), from the freshwater habitat, and those of Schoepfer-Sterrer (1969) and Ruppert (1970) from the marine habitat. None of the species treated he-ein has been previously reported from this region. Methods and Materials Collections were made throughout the summer of 1966, while I was attending the Duke University Marine Laboratory, Beaufort, North Carolina, and once during the summer of 1970. Sand containing all but one of these animals was obtained from the thin beach at the base of a sea wall below the Duke Oceanographic Laboratory on Pivers Island. This beach faces the main boat channel leading to the town of Beaufort and is subject to periodic wave wash owing to the passage of fishing boats. The beach is also subject to occasional stress conditions such as: a) siltation resulting from dredging opera- tions, designed to maintain channels leading from the sea to both Morehead City and Beaufort, and b) reduced salinity associated with the northward movement of tropical storms.

The group has a cosmopolitan distribution and is currently classified into two orders, Chaetonotida and Macrodasyida. The gastrotrich fauna of Sweden is poorly known: a couple of years ago only 29 species had been reported. In Paper I, III, and IV, 5 freshwater species new to science are described. In total 56 species have been recorded for the first time in Sweden during the course of this thesis. Common species with a cosmopolitan distribution, e. g. Chaetonotus hystrix and Lepidodermella squamata, as well as rarer species, e. g. Haltidytes crassus, Ichthydium diacanthum and Stylochaeta scirtetica, are reported. In Paper II molecular data is used to infer phylogenetic relationships within the morphologically very diverse marine family Thaumastodermatidae (Macrodasyida). Results give high support for monophyly of Thaumastodermatidae and also the subfamilies Diplodasyinae and Thaumastoder- matinae. In Paper III the hypothesis of cryptic speciation is tested in widely distributed freshwater gastrotrichs. Heterolepidoderma ocellatum f. sphagnophilum is raised to species under the name H.

  • (Stsm) Scientific Report
    SHORT TERM SCIENTIFIC MISSION (STSM) SCIENTIFIC REPORT This report is submitted for approval by the STSM applicant to the STSM coordinator Action number: CA15219-45333 STSM title: Free-living marine nematodes from the eastern Mediterranean deep sea - connecting COI and 18S rRNA barcodes to structure and function STSM start and end date: 06/02/2020 to 18/3/2020 (short than the planned two months due to the Co-Vid 19 virus pandemic) Grantee name: Zoya Garbuzov PURPOSE OF THE STSM: My Ph.D. thesis is devoted to the population ecology of free-living nematodes inhabiting deep-sea soft substrates of the Mediterranean Levantine Basin. The success of the study largely depends on my ability to accurately identify collected nematodes at the species level, essential for appropriate environmental analysis. Morphological identification of nematodes at the species level is fraught with difficulties, mainly because of their relatively simple body shape and the absence of distinctive morphological characters. Therefore, a combination of morphological identification to genus level and the use of molecular markers to reach species identification is assumed to provide a better distinction of species in this difficult to identify group. My STSM host, Dr. Nikolaos Lampadariou, is an experienced taxonomist and nematode ecologist. In addition, I will have access to the molecular laboratory of Dr. Panagiotis Kasapidis. Both researchers are based at the Hellenic Center for Marine Research (HCMR) in Crete and this STSM is aimed at combining morphological taxonomy, under the supervision of Dr. Lampadariou, with my recently acquired experience in nematode molecular taxonomy for relating molecular identifiers to nematode morphology.

  • Taxonomy Assignment Approach Determines the Efficiency of Identification of Metabarcodes in Marine Nematodes
    Taxonomy assignment approach determines the efficiency of identification of metabarcodes in marine nematodes Oleksandr Holovachov1, Quiterie Haenel2, Sarah J. Bourlat3 and Ulf Jondelius1 1Department of Zoology, Swedish Museum of Natural History, Stockholm, Sweden 2Zoological Institute, University of Basel, Switzerland 3Department of Marine Sciences, University of Gothenburg, Sweden Abstract: Precision and reliability of barcode-based biodiversity assessment can be affected at several steps during acquisition and analysis of the data. Identification of barcodes is one of the crucial steps in the process and can be accomplished using several different approaches, namely, alignment-based, probabilistic, tree-based and phylogeny-based. Number of identified sequences in the reference databases affects the precision of identification. This paper compares the identification of marine nematode barcodes using alignment-based, tree-based and phylogeny-based approaches. Because the nematode reference dataset is limited in its taxonomic scope, barcodes can only be assigned to higher taxonomic categories, families. Phylogeny-based approach using Evolutionary Placement Algorithm provided the largest number of positively assigned metabarcodes and was least affected by erroneous sequences and limitations of reference data, comparing to alignment- based and tree-based approaches. Key words: biodiversity, identification, barcode, nematodes, meiobenthos. 1 1. Introduction Metabarcoding studies based on high throughput sequencing of amplicons from marine samples have reshaped our understanding of the biodiversity of marine microscopic eukaryotes, revealing a much higher diversity than previously known [1]. Early metabarcoding of the slightly larger sediment-dwelling meiofauna have mainly focused on scoring relative diversity of taxonomic groups [1-3]. The next step in metabarcoding: identification of species, is limited by the available reference database, which is sparse for most marine taxa, and by the matching algorithms.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The freshwater gastrotrich fauna of Sweden is poorly known. Only seven species of freshwater gastrotrichs have been reported so far. This paper is the first in a series of contributions about the Swedish freshwater gastrotrich fauna. Here we describe one new species, Ichthydium skandicum n. sp., from Jämtland, northern Sweden. The new species falls within the boundary of the subgenus Forficulichthys and is morphologically closest to Ichthydium tanytrichum from which it can be differentiated based on the presence of four pairs of dorsal, keeled scales in the posterior trunk region. Moreover, we provide morphometric data for three additional Ichthydium species: I. diacanthum, I. squamigerum and I. tanytrichum, Italian species all of which are reported for the first time outside Italy. Considering the accompanying fauna, a total of thirteen freshwater Gastrotricha are reported for the first time from Sweden. Finally we present a dichotomous key for Ichthydium along with distributional data of the species considered.

Ornamentula Kisielewski, 1991 is a monospecific genus in Order Chaetonotida. The sole species, O. paraensis Kisielewsk, 1991, is a semiplanktonic gastrotrich found in a single pond in the Amazon region of Brazil. Herein we describe a new species of the genus Ornamentula, collected in a small urban lagoon in the Atlantic Forest of southeast Brazil. Orna- mentula miyazakii sp. nov. resembles O. paraensis, but it shows differences in the ornamented trunk scales and spinal spines distribution, sufficient to proposte it as it’s a new species.

Biodiversity Data Journal 3: e5800. doi: 10.3897/BDJ.3.e5800 Abstract Fauna Europaea provides a public web-service with an index of scientific names (including important synonyms) of all living European land and freshwater animals, their geographical distribution at country level (up to the Urals, excluding the Caucasus region), and some additional information. The Fauna Europaea project covers about 230,000 taxonomic names, including 130,000 accepted species and 14,000 accepted subspecies, which is much more than the originally projected number of 100,000 species. This represents a huge effort by more than 400 contributing specialists throughout Europe and is a unique (standard) reference suitable for many users in science, government, industry, nature conservation and education. Gastrotricha are a meiobenthic phylum composed of 813 species known so far (2 orders, 17 families) of free-living microinvertebrates commonly present and actively moving on and into sediments of aquatic ecosystems, 339 of which live in fresh and brackish waters.
