20. Infome Variabilidad Climatica 2019
ASPECTOS BIO-OCEANOGRÁFICOS OBSERVADOS EN DOS ESTACIONES 10 MILLAS COSTA AFUERA, DURANTE EL 2019 INTRODUCCIÓN El Instituto Nacional de Pesca (INP) a través de su programa Variabilidad Climática monitorea de manera mensual las condiciones oceanográficas (físico, químicas y biológicas) de dos estaciones ubicadas 10 millas fuera de la costa ecuatoriana; Puerto López y Salinas (Figura 1). El objetivo principal de este programa es analizar los procesos oceanográficos presentes en los ecosistemas marino-costeros, tomando en cuenta las variaciones espacio-temporales y productividad del océano. De esta manera, se busca relacionar la información obtenida durante las campañas con la distribución, abundancia y biomasa de los recursos pesqueros de interés comercial del país. El mar es un entorno dinámico, influenciado por la geografía del fondo marino y por el clima, de acuerdo a Riley & Chester (1989), los elementos nutritivos, se detectan en el mar en bajas y constantes concentraciones, puesto que las actividades de los organismos vivos produce solo un cambio pequeño o indetectable en su concentración, pero también son los responsables de la eliminación o excreción de cantidades considerables de micronutrientes en relación con la cantidad total presente; para Cushing et al., (1975), las concentraciones registrada de nutrientes, son consecuencia del proceso de producción y no a la inversa, cuya investigación tiene el carácter de una regresión inacabable. Estos constituyentes presentan una marcada variabilidad, la cual restringe la dinámica de exportaciones de nutrientes y carbono orgánico del margen costero ( Helmke et.al., 2005) estableciendo patrones diferentes de distribución que favorecerán la acumulación de nutrientes o la dispersión de los mismos, condiciones influenciadas por los cambios estacionales del viento, situación topográfica, y del sistema de intercambio y/o mezcla con la capa subsuperficial. -

New Zealand's Genetic Diversity
1.13 NEW ZEALAND’S GENETIC DIVERSITY NEW ZEALAND’S GENETIC DIVERSITY Dennis P. Gordon National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, Private Bag 14901, Kilbirnie, Wellington 6022, New Zealand ABSTRACT: The known genetic diversity represented by the New Zealand biota is reviewed and summarised, largely based on a recently published New Zealand inventory of biodiversity. All kingdoms and eukaryote phyla are covered, updated to refl ect the latest phylogenetic view of Eukaryota. The total known biota comprises a nominal 57 406 species (c. 48 640 described). Subtraction of the 4889 naturalised-alien species gives a biota of 52 517 native species. A minimum (the status of a number of the unnamed species is uncertain) of 27 380 (52%) of these species are endemic (cf. 26% for Fungi, 38% for all marine species, 46% for marine Animalia, 68% for all Animalia, 78% for vascular plants and 91% for terrestrial Animalia). In passing, examples are given both of the roles of the major taxa in providing ecosystem services and of the use of genetic resources in the New Zealand economy. Key words: Animalia, Chromista, freshwater, Fungi, genetic diversity, marine, New Zealand, Prokaryota, Protozoa, terrestrial. INTRODUCTION Article 10b of the CBD calls for signatories to ‘Adopt The original brief for this chapter was to review New Zealand’s measures relating to the use of biological resources [i.e. genetic genetic resources.

Reynolds, Freshwater Biological Association, Windermere Laboratory, Ambleside, Cumbria, LA22 OLP 2 SUMMARY 1. The abundance and species composition of the phytoplankton of Grasmere were monitored over a 12-year period following the commissioning of a small sewage treatment works, upstream of the lake. 2. Although Grasmere has been subject to increased phosphorus-loading and has quickly developed many features associated with eutrophication, the composition of its plankton has retained the characteristics of a mesotrophic, soft-water lake: a vernal diatom maximum, generally dominated by Asterionella, is followed by summer growths of nanoplanktonic species, of various colonial Chlorophyceae, before a substantial return to Asterionella-dominance in the autumn. In cooler summers, there have been episodes of renewed diatom growth, followed by truncated recapitulations of the essential summer sequence. -

We analysed the diversity and distribution of stained (‘live’) and unstained 28 (dead) assemblages (0-1 cm layer, >150-µm sieve fraction) in megacorer samples from 11 sites 29 (water depths 4051 - 4235 m) within three 30 x 30 km ‘strata’ in the United Kingdom 1 (UK1 30 Strata A and B; 5 and 3 samples, respectively) and Ocean Minerals Singapore (3 samples) 31 license areas and separated by distances of up to 28 km within a stratum and 224 km between 32 strata. Foraminiferal assemblage density, diversity and composition at the higher 33 taxon/morphogroup level were largely consistent between samples. Stained assemblages were 34 dominated (>86%) by single-chambered monothalamids, mainly spheres, tubes, komokiaceans 35 and forms that are difficult to categorise morphologically. Hormosinaceans were the most 36 common multichambered group (~10%), while calcareous taxa (mainly rotaliids) represented 37 only ~3.5% of stained tests. -
Zoelucasa Sablensis N. Gen. Et N. Sp.(Cercozoa, Incertae Sedis), A

(Cercozoa, Incertae Sedis), a New Scale-covered Flagellate from Marine Sandy Shores Kenneth H. NICHOLLS Summary. Zoelucasa sablensis n. gen et n. sp. is a small heterotrophic fl agellate housed within a pyriform lorica of relatively large imbri- cate, circular siliceous scales. It was found in near-shore benthic sand/seawater samples of both the Pacifi c and Atlantic Oceans (west and east coasts of Canada; salinity = 32–33 ppt). The median length and width of the lorica was 18 and 11 μm, respectively (n = 29). This taxon lacks chloroplasts and swims with a slow zig-zag motion controlled by a short (5–7 μm long), anteriorly-directed fl agellum and a longer trailing fl agellum, 15–20 μm in length. Its classifi cation within the phylum Cercozoa (most likely, Class Imbricatea) is tentative, as there are no known morphological homologues (discoidal, overlapping siliceous plate-scales forming a test or lorica enclosing a heterotrophic fl agellate). Further study of cultured and wild material, including a search for other possible non-fl agellate (e.g. amoeboid?) life history stages, TEM examination of cell sections, and rDNA sequencing will most certainly provide more opportunities for a justifi able classifi ca- tion, possibly including a new Order. Key words: Imbricatea (Silicofi losea), sand-dwelling protist, psammon, silica scales, fl agellate. INTRODUCTION samples collected from both the east and west coasts of Canada. Owing to its apparently unique morphology, it is described here as a new monospecifi c genus and Sand-welling marine protists include taxa repre- has been tentatively assigned to the class Imbricatea of senting a wide variety of forms and phylogenetic lines. -
Protist Phylogeny and the High-Level Classification of Protozoa
Europ. J. Protistol. 39, 338–348 (2003) © Urban & Fischer Verlag http://www.urbanfischer.de/journals/ejp Protist phylogeny and the high-level classification of Protozoa Thomas Cavalier-Smith Department of Zoology, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3PS, UK; E-mail: [email protected] Received 1 September 2003; 29 September 2003. Accepted: 29 September 2003 Protist large-scale phylogeny is briefly reviewed and a revised higher classification of the kingdom Pro- tozoa into 11 phyla presented. Complementary gene fusions reveal a fundamental bifurcation among eu- karyotes between two major clades: the ancestrally uniciliate (often unicentriolar) unikonts and the an- cestrally biciliate bikonts, which undergo ciliary transformation by converting a younger anterior cilium into a dissimilar older posterior cilium. Unikonts comprise the ancestrally unikont protozoan phylum Amoebozoa and the opisthokonts (kingdom Animalia, phylum Choanozoa, their sisters or ancestors; and kingdom Fungi). They share a derived triple-gene fusion, absent from bikonts. Bikonts contrastingly share a derived gene fusion between dihydrofolate reductase and thymidylate synthase and include plants and all other protists, comprising the protozoan infrakingdoms Rhizaria [phyla Cercozoa and Re- taria (Radiozoa, Foraminifera)] and Excavata (phyla Loukozoa, Metamonada, Euglenozoa, Percolozoa), plus the kingdom Plantae [Viridaeplantae, Rhodophyta (sisters); Glaucophyta], the chromalveolate clade, and the protozoan phylum Apusozoa (Thecomonadea, Diphylleida). Chromalveolates comprise kingdom Chromista (Cryptista, Heterokonta, Haptophyta) and the protozoan infrakingdom Alveolata [phyla Cilio- phora and Miozoa (= Protalveolata, Dinozoa, Apicomplexa)], which diverged from a common ancestor that enslaved a red alga and evolved novel plastid protein-targeting machinery via the host rough ER and the enslaved algal plasma membrane (periplastid membrane). -
