P. Payne MSc Thesis, Department of Biodiversity and Conservation Biology, University of the Western Cape. Seamounts are poorly understood ubiquitous undersea features, with less than 4% sampled for scientific purposes globally. Consequently, the fauna associated with seamounts in the Indian Ocean remains largely unknown, with less than 300 species recorded. One such feature within this region is Walters Shoal, a shallow seamount located on the South Madagascar Ridge, which is situated approximately 400 nautical miles south of Madagascar and 600 nautical miles east of South Africa. Even though it penetrates the euphotic zone (summit is 15 m below the sea surface) and is protected by the Southern Indian Ocean Deep- Sea Fishers Association, there is a paucity of biodiversity and oceanographic data.

A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science at the University of Richmond University of Richmond, May 2011 Thesis Director: Malcolm S. Hill, Ph.D., Professor, Department of Biology The ecological and evolutionary relationship between sponges and their symbiotic microflora remains poorly understood, which limits our ability to understand broad scale patterns in benthic-pelagic coupling on coral reefs. Previous research classified sponges into two different categories of sponge-microbial associations: High Microbial Abundance (HMA) and Low Microbial Abundance (LMA) sponges. Choanocyte chamber morphology and density was characterized in representatives of HMA and LMA sponges using scanning electron I)licroscopy from freeze-fractured tissue. Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis was used to examine taxonomic differences among the bacterial communities present in a variety of tropical sponges.

Macic 4 1 DISVA, Università Politecnica delle Marche - [email protected] 2 RSTA, Cooperative Research Society, Genova, Italy 3 Reef Check Italia onlus, Italy 4 IMBK, Kotor, Montenegro Abstract As for many other benthic organisms, sponges are disappearing from several areas. The climate warming seems to be one of the most important causes involved in the phenomenon. Here we gather information on the distribution of the cup-shaped demosponge Calyx nicaeensis furnishing a first baseline for future monitoring and first observations regarding its natural history. Keywords: Porifera, Conservation, North-Western Mediterranean Introduction setacea. In conclusion, this species has a distribution highly fragmented, Climate warming is altering the phenology and the distribution of a wide limited in few spots of the Mediterranean, asking for adequate and urgent number of species both on land and underwater. To define which species are conservation measures at Mediterranean level [5]. more vulnerable it is urgent to draw future scenarios for possible mitigation measures. In the Mediterranean Sea,filter feeders such as sponges and octocorals are among the phyla most affected by extended mortality events [1, Tab. 1. Tab. 1. Historical and present finding of Calyx nicaeensis. 2]. Here we gather all the reports we found on the demosponge Calyx nicaeensis (Haplosclerida, Phloeodictyidae), a species that seems to be under fast regression in the NW Mediterranean Basin. The lack of a documented baseline does not allow knowing if this species is rare or actually endangered by anthropogenic impacts.

  • Cnidarian Phylogenetic Relationships As Revealed by Mitogenomics Ehsan Kayal1,2*, Béatrice Roure3, Hervé Philippe3, Allen G Collins4 and Dennis V Lavrov1
    Kayal et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology 2013, 13:5 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/13/5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Cnidarian phylogenetic relationships as revealed by mitogenomics Ehsan Kayal1,2*, Béatrice Roure3, Hervé Philippe3, Allen G Collins4 and Dennis V Lavrov1 Abstract Background: Cnidaria (corals, sea anemones, hydroids, jellyfish) is a phylum of relatively simple aquatic animals characterized by the presence of the cnidocyst: a cell containing a giant capsular organelle with an eversible tubule (cnida). Species within Cnidaria have life cycles that involve one or both of the two distinct body forms, a typically benthic polyp, which may or may not be colonial, and a typically pelagic mostly solitary medusa. The currently accepted taxonomic scheme subdivides Cnidaria into two main assemblages: Anthozoa (Hexacorallia + Octocorallia) – cnidarians with a reproductive polyp and the absence of a medusa stage – and Medusozoa (Cubozoa, Hydrozoa, Scyphozoa, Staurozoa) – cnidarians that usually possess a reproductive medusa stage. Hypothesized relationships among these taxa greatly impact interpretations of cnidarian character evolution. Results: We expanded the sampling of cnidarian mitochondrial genomes, particularly from Medusozoa, to reevaluate phylogenetic relationships within Cnidaria. Our phylogenetic analyses based on a mitochogenomic dataset support many prior hypotheses, including monophyly of Hexacorallia, Octocorallia, Medusozoa, Cubozoa, Staurozoa, Hydrozoa, Carybdeida, Chirodropida, and Hydroidolina, but reject the monophyly of Anthozoa, indicating that the Octocorallia + Medusozoa relationship is not the result of sampling bias, as proposed earlier. Further, our analyses contradict Scyphozoa [Discomedusae + Coronatae], Acraspeda [Cubozoa + Scyphozoa], as well as the hypothesis that Staurozoa is the sister group to all the other medusozoans. Conclusions: Cnidarian mitochondrial genomic data contain phylogenetic signal informative for understanding the evolutionary history of this phylum.

  • Phylogenetic Analyses of Marine Sponges Within the Order Verongida: a Comparison of Morphological and Molecular Data
    Invertebrate Biology 126(3): 220–234. r 2007, The Authors Journal compilation r 2007, The American Microscopical Society, Inc. DOI: 10.1111/j.1744-7410.2007.00092.x Phylogenetic analyses of marine sponges within the order Verongida: a comparison of morphological and molecular data Patrick M. Erwin and Robert W. Thackera University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama 35294, USA Abstract. Because the taxonomy of marine sponges is based primarily on morphological characters that can display a high degree of phenotypic plasticity, current classifications may not always reflect evolutionary relationships. To assess phylogenetic relationships among sponges in the order Verongida, we examined 11 verongid species, representing six genera and four families. We compared the utility of morphological and molecular data in verongid sponge systematics by comparing a phylogeny constructed from a morphological character matrix with a phylogeny based on nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences. The morphological phylogeny was not well resolved below the ordinal level, likely hindered by the paucity of characters available for analysis, and the potential plasticity of these characters. The molec- ular phylogeny was well resolved and robust from the ordinal to the species level. We also examined the morphology of spongin fibers to assess their reliability in verongid sponge tax- onomy. Fiber diameter and pith content were highly variable within and among species. Despite this variability, spongin fiber comparisons were useful at lower taxonomic levels (i.e., among congeneric species); however, these characters are potentially homoplasic at higher taxonomic levels (i.e., between families). Our molecular data provide good support for the current classification of verongid sponges, but suggest a re-examination and potential reclas- sification of the genera Aiolochroia and Pseudoceratina.

USA ABSTRACT: Laboratory feeding assays employing the common Canbbean wrasse Thalassoma bifas- ciatum were undertaken to determine the palatability of food pellets containing natural concentrations of crude organic extracts of 71 species of Caribbean demosponges from reef, mangrove, and grassbed habitats. The majority of sponge species (69%) yielded deterrent extracts, but there was considerable inter- and intraspecific vanability in deterrency. Most of the sponges of the aspiculate orders Verongida and Dictyoceratida yielded highly deterrent extracts, as did all the species in the orders Homoscle- rophorida and Axinellida. Palatable extracts were common among species in the orders Hadromerida, Poecilosclerida and Haplosclerida. Intraspecific variability was evident, suggesting that, for some spe- cies, some individuals (or portions thereof) may be chemically undefended. Reef sponges generally yielded more deterrent extracts than sponges from mangrove or grassbed habitats, but 4 of the 10 most common sponges on reefs yielded palatable extracts
