    FAUNA of AUSTRALIA Volume 4A POLYCHAETES & ALLIES The Southern Synthesis 5. PHYLUM SIPUNCULA STANLEY J. EDMONDS (Deceased 16 July 1995) © Commonwealth of Australia 2000. All material CC-BY unless otherwise stated. At night, Eunice Aphroditois emerges from its burrow to feed. Photo by Roger Steene DEFINITION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Sipuncula is a group of soft-bodied, unsegmented, coelomate, worm-like marine invertebrates (Fig. 5.1; Pls 12.1–12.4). The body consists of a muscular trunk and an anteriorly placed, more slender introvert (Fig. 5.2), which bears the mouth at the anterior extremity of an introvert and a long, recurved, spirally wound alimentary canal lies within the spacious body cavity or coelom. The anus lies dorsally, usually on the anterior surface of the trunk near the base of the introvert. Tentacles either surround, or are associated with the mouth. Chaetae or bristles are absent. Two nephridia are present, occasionally only one. The nervous system, although unsegmented, is annelidan-like, consisting of a long ventral nerve cord and an anteriorly placed brain. The sexes are separate, fertilisation is external and cleavage of the zygote is spiral. The larva is a free-swimming trochophore. They are known commonly as peanut worms.

Kawauchi 2 1 Department of Marine Biology, Texas A&M University at Galveston, Galveston, TX 77554, USA 2 Zoology Department, Institute of Biological Sciences, Federal University of Minas Gerais, Pampulha, Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais 31270-901, Brazil; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Sipuncula, long considered a separate phylum, are now commonly included in the Annelida based on phylogenomic analyses. The sipunculan body consists of an unsegmented trunk and a retractable introvert, usually with a set of tentacles at its anterior end. Unlike other annelids, they have no chaetae, but the introvert is often adorned with proteinaceous hooks that can be important taxonomic characters. Other external taxonomic characters include the tentacles (number, shape and arrangement), body papillae and, in some cases, hardened shields, as well as length ratios. Many species require dissection for correct identification to reveal internal characteristics, such as introvert retractor muscles, nephridia and contractile vessels. Here we summarize the state of the current knowledge of species diversity in sipunculans. We emphasize molecular studies, conducted over the past two decades, that have revealed multiple complexes of cryptic or pseudocryptic species. It has become obvious that diversity is significantly higher than the current taxonomic scheme accounts for, but formal species descriptions are lagging behind. Although the major branches in the sipunculan phylogeny have become increasingly consolidated, the internal relationships within most branches are still in flux.

Sipunculans are a poorly studied group in the Tropical Eastern Pacifi c. For the Southern Mexican Pacifi c (SMP) there is only one record of a sipunculan species. The main objective of this work was to determine the species composition of the phylum Sipuncula present in the SMP. The study area covered three Mexican states: Guerrero, Oaxaca and Chiapas; specimens from 28 localities were examined from both intertidal and subtidal zones. A total of 551 specimens were reviewed, from which 11 species were identifi ed. Five of them have previously been recorded in the Tropical Eastern Pacifi c (TEP): Apionsoma (A.) hespera comb.

  • Comparative Development and the Evolution of Life History Diversity in Sipuncula
    Comparative Development and the Evolution of Life History Diversity in Sipuncula Michael J. Boyle1* and Mary E. Rice2 ABSTRACT. The biological diversity of marine invertebrate animals is exemplified by variation in the forms and functions they display during early development. Here, we utilize compound and confocal microscopy to investigate variation in developmental morphology among three sipunculan species with contrasting life history patterns: Phascolion cryptum develops directly from an embryo to the vermiform stage; Themiste alutacea develops indirectly through lecithotrophic trochophore and pelagosphera larvae, and Nephasoma pellucidum develops indirectly through a lecithotrophic trochophore and a planktotrophic pelagosphera larva. Their respective embryos and larvae differ in size, rate of development, timing and formation of muscle fibers and gut compartments, and the presence or absence of an apical tuft, prototroch, metatroch, terminal organ, and other lar- val organs. The amount of embryonic yolk provisioned within species-specific prototroch cells and body regions appears to correlate with life history pattern. Different rates of development observed among these species indicate shifts from an ancestral, indirect planktotrophic life history toward a more rapid development through direct and indirect lecithotrophy. According to modern molecular phylogenetic and phylogenomic relationships in Sipuncula, our observations implicate extensive de- velopmental diversification and heterochrony within the largest sipunculan family, Golfingiidae. We discuss our observations in the context of habitat distributions, developmental priorities, character relationships, and the direction of evolutionary transitions between life history patterns. Moving forward, we have established working protocols for gene expression patterns, have sequenced and assembled developmental transcriptomes, and will pursue cellular fate mapping and genome se- quencing to promote sipunculans for comparative evolutionary developmental biology.
