Phylum Bryozoa the Feeding Zooid of a Hydrozoan

PHYLUM ECTOPROCTA Depending on time, they are sometimes taught in the pseudocoelomate lab, at other times in the Annelid, eucoelomate lab. They are a conundrum having some protostomous characteristics and some deuterostomous features. For our purposes they will be considered protostomes and pseudocoelomates, based on molecular evidence.

Six3 Demarcates the Anterior-Most Developing Brain Region In
Steinmetz et al. EvoDevo 2010, 1:14 http://www.evodevojournal.com/content/1/1/14 RESEARCH Open Access Six3 demarcates the anterior-most developing brain region in bilaterian animals Patrick RH Steinmetz1,6†, Rolf Urbach2†, Nico Posnien3,7, Joakim Eriksson4,8, Roman P Kostyuchenko5, Carlo Brena4, Keren Guy1, Michael Akam4*, Gregor Bucher3*, Detlev Arendt1* Abstract Background: The heads of annelids (earthworms, polychaetes, and others) and arthropods (insects, myriapods, spiders, and others) and the arthropod-related onychophorans (velvet worms) show similar brain architecture and for this reason have long been considered homologous. However, this view is challenged by the ‘new phylogeny’ placing arthropods and annelids into distinct superphyla, Ecdysozoa and Lophotrochozoa, together with many other phyla lacking elaborate heads or brains. To compare the organisation of annelid and arthropod heads and brains at the molecular level, we investigated head regionalisation genes in various groups. Regionalisation genes subdivide developing animals into molecular regions and can be used to align head regions between remote animal phyla. Results: We find that in the marine annelid Platynereis dumerilii, expression of the homeobox gene six3 defines the apical region of the larval body, peripherally overlapping the equatorial otx+ expression. The six3+ and otx+ regions thus define the developing head in anterior-to-posterior sequence. In another annelid, the earthworm Pristina, as well as in the onychophoran Euperipatoides, the centipede Strigamia and the insects Tribolium and Drosophila,asix3/optix+ region likewise demarcates the tip of the developing animal, followed by a more posterior otx/otd+ region. Identification of six3+ head neuroectoderm in Drosophila reveals that this region gives rise to median neurosecretory brain parts, as is also the case in annelids.

Sponges and Bryozoans of Sandusky Bay
Ohio Naturalist. [Vol. 1, No. SPONGES AND BRYOZOANS OF SANDUSKY BAY. F. L. LANDACRE. The two small groups of fresh water sponges and Bryozoa re- ceived some attention at the Lake laboratory during the summer of 1900 All our fresh water sponges belong to one family, the SpongiUidae, which has about seven genera. They differ from the marine sponges- in two particulars. They form skeletons of silicon only, while marine sponges may form silicious or limy or spongin skeletons. The spongin skeleton-is the-one that gives the bath sponge its value.. They also form winter buds or statoblasts which carry the sponge over the winter and reproduce it again in the spring. This peculiar process was probably acquired on account of the changes in temperature and in amount of moisture to which animals living in fresh water streams are subjected. The sponge dies in the fall of the year and its skeleton of silicious spines or spicules can be found with no protoplasm. The character of the spines in the body of the sponge and those surrounding the statoblast differ greatly, and those around the statoblast are the main reliance in identifying sponges. So that if a statoblast is found the sponge from which it came can be determined, and on the other hand it is frequently very difficult to determine the species of a sponge if it has not yet formed its stato- blast. The statoblast is a globular or disc-shaped, nitroginous cell with a chimney-like opening where the protoplasm escapes in the spring. The adult sponge is non-sexual but the statoblasts give rise to ova and spermatozoa which unite and produce a new sponge.

The Riftia pachyptila tube is formed of a chitin proteoglycan/ protein complex whereas the Alvinella pompejana tube is made from an unusually stable glycoprotein matrix containing a high level of elemental sulfur. The A. pompejana tube is physically and chemically more stable and encloses bacteria within the tube wall material.

The most common, B. neritina, was known from a few sites in southern Britain and northern France during the 20th century, following its discovery at Plymouth by 1911. During the 1950-60s it was abundant in a dock heated by power station effluent at Swansea, south Wales, where it flourished until the late 1960s, while water temperatures were 7-10°C above ambient. It disappeared after power generation ceased, when summer temperatures probably became insufficient to support breeding. Details of disappearances have not been recorded but B. neritina was not seen in Britain between c1970 and 1999.

The Next Segment an Explosion of Life
The Next Segment An Explosion of Life What I like doing the most is actually getting out, getting down, getting dirty in the mud with the worms themselves. Getting out there whether it’s pouring rain, whether it’s a low tide at dawn, I don’t care. I just like to be out there with the worms, seeing them in their own habitat. DAMNHAIT MCHUGH, BIOLOGIST The Next Segment: An Explosion of Life Imagine that you are on your hands and knees twenty feet from one of those prosaic struggles between a robin and an earthworm, celebrated in cartoons, homilies and the sketches of school children. The battle begins at dawn under an overcast sky. Hard rain threatens after a night of drizzle, a scene painted from a palate heavy with greens from the spring trees flashing their putty-colored undersides to the expanse of lawn in the building wind. It’s so dark it seems almost black beneath the morning clouds. The robin attacks, landing first a foot from the prey it spotted from above, then nonchalantly sidling to the exposed nub of flesh in the grass where, like lightening, it strikes the earthworm. The assault carries the element of surprise and quickly, two inches of worm stretch from the ground to the robin’s beak. Then, as though it summons courage, the earthworm fights back, actually tugging the obin’sr head to the grass. And then the worm is gone. The beaten robin hops away, then flies, quickly blending into the sky. As you watch you wonder, with a curiosity as simple as a child’s: How can this be happening? How can an animal as big as that bird struggle so hard to pull a couple of inches of brown goo out of the ground? What does it mean that it can’t? What does it mean that it can? What questions have you forgotten to ask? That is science.

Australia remained a largely poorly known region; its continental coasts unmapped except in the vaguest outline. Flinder’s survey in 1825 in the small vessel ‘Tom Thumb’ succeeded in mapping the entire coast line. Early Australian bryozoan studies up until about 1850 parallel these explorations and are from collections that were returned to Europe by French and British 272 ANNALS OF BRYOZOOLOGY 2 Figure 1.—Map of Australia showing various basins and ‘basement’ areas.
