Bibliography of Coastal Worm-Reef and Tubeworm Species of the World (1950-2010) Centre National de la Recherche Scientique Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle Bibliography of Coastal Worm-Reef and Tubeworm Species of the World (1950-2010) Jer´ omeˆ Fournier Marine Biological Station Dinard This bibliographical list was compiled by Jérôme Fournier1. This list relates to the worm-reefs species and several tube-dwelling species of Annelidae and more particularly: • Ficopomatus enigmaticus (Fauvel, 1923) [Serpulidae], • Gunnarea gaimardi (Quatrefages, 1848) [Sabellariidae], • Idanthyrsus cretus Chamberlin, 1919 [Sabellariidae], • Idanthyrsus pennatus (Peters, 1854) [Sabellariidae], • Lanice conchilega (Pallas, 1766) [Terebellidae), • Lygdamis sp Kinberg, 1867 [Sabellariidae), • Owenia fusiformis Delle Chiaje, 1844 [Oweniidae), • Pectinaria gouldii (Verrill, 1874) [Pectinariidae], • Pectinaria granulata (Linnaeus, 1767) [Pectinariidae], • Pectinaria koreni (Malmgren, 1866) [Pectinariidae], • Phalacrostemma sp Marenzeller, 1895 [Sabellariidae), • Phragmatopoma caudata (Krøyer) Mörch, 1863 [Sabellariidae], • Phragmatopoma californica (Fewkes) Hartman, 1944 [Sabellariidae], • Phragmatopoma virgini Kinberg, 1866 [Sabellariidae], • Sabellaria alveolata (Linnaeus, 1767) [Sabellariidae], • Sabellaria spinulosa Leuckart, 1849 [Sabellariidae], • Serpula vermicularis Linnaeus, 1767 [Serpulidae]. We listed almost all the references in earth and life sciences relating to these species. We used the 'Web of Science' data base and the registers of the fol- lowing libraries: Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle (France) and University of São Paulo (Brazil). Finally, we classied the references by journal then by book, and by species or by genus. The references classied in the sub-chapter 'Miscellaneous' concern work relating to several species. 1Research Scientist 1st Class CNRS.

  • The Status of Sabellaria Spinulosa Reef Off the Moray Firth and Aberdeenshire Coasts and Guidance for Conservation of the Species Off the Scottish East Coast
    The Status of Sabellaria spinulosa Reef off the Moray Firth and Aberdeenshire Coasts and Guidance for Conservation of the Species off the Scottish East Coast Research Summary Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 11 No 17 The Status of Sabellaria spinulosa Reef off the Moray Firth and Aberdeenshire Coasts and Guidance for Conservation of the Species off the Scottish East Coast B Pearce and J Kimber Introduction and Methodology Sabellaria spinulosa is a gregarious tube dwelling marine polychaete that is known to form extensive reef habitats across Europe. The reef habitats formed by S. spinulosa represent an important habitat for a variety of marine fauna and are thought to provide ecosystem services including the provision of feeding and nursery grounds for some fish species. S. spinulosa reefs have been identified as a priority for protection under the OSPAR Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North East Atlantic and Annex I of the Habitats Directive, in part due to the recognised decline in this habitat across Europe. Until recently, there was little evidence that this habitat occurred in Scottish waters. However, S. spinulosa aggregations with reef-like properties were observed repeatedly between 2011 and 2017 in seabed imagery collected through a variety of sources from the east coast of Scotland. The Scottish Government commissioned this research to assess the conservation status of the newly discovered S. spinulosa habitats and to develop guidance for the future management of this habitat on the east coast of Scotland. Video footage and still images collected from four surveys and ROV clips collected from a fifth, undertaken between 2011 and 2017 (Figure 1) were analysed comprehensively in accordance with established National Marine Biological Analytical Quality Control (NMBAQC) methodologies.

  • Role of Reef-Building, Ecosystem Engineering Polychaetes in Shallow Water Ecosystems
    diversity Review Role of Reef-Building, Ecosystem Engineering Polychaetes in Shallow Water Ecosystems Martín Bruschetti 1,2 1 Instituto de Investigaciones Marinas y Costeras (IIMyC)-CONICET, Mar del Plata 7600, Argentina; [email protected] 2 Laboratorio de Ecología, Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata, FCEyN, Laboratorio de Ecología 7600, Argentina Received: 15 June 2019; Accepted: 15 September 2019; Published: 17 September 2019 Abstract: Although the effect of ecosystem engineers in structuring communities is common in several systems, it is seldom as evident as in shallow marine soft-bottoms. These systems lack abiotic three-dimensional structures but host biogenic structures that play critical roles in controlling abiotic conditions and resources. Here I review how reef-building polychaetes (RBP) engineer their environment and affect habitat quality, thus regulating community structure, ecosystem functioning, and the provision of ecosystem services in shallow waters. The analysis focuses on different engineering mechanisms, such as hard substrate production, effects on hydrodynamics, and sediment transport, and impacts mediated by filter feeding and biodeposition. Finally, I deal with landscape-level topographic alteration by RBP. In conclusion, RBP have positive impacts on diversity and abundance of many species mediated by the structure of the reef. Additionally, by feeding on phytoplankton and decreasing water turbidity, RBP can control primary production, increase light penetration, and might alleviate the effects of eutrophication

  • The Associates of Four Species of Marine Sponges of Oregon and Washington Abstract Approved Redacted for Privacy (Ivan Pratt, Major Professor)
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Edward Ray Long for the M. S. in Zoology (Name) (Degree) (Major) /.,, Date thesis presented ://,/,(//i $» I Ì Ì Title The Associates of Four Species of Marine Sponges of Oregon and Washington Abstract approved Redacted for Privacy (Ivan Pratt, Major Professor) Four species of sponge from the coasts of Oregon and Wash- ington were studied and dissected for inhabitants and associates. All four species differed in texture, composition, and habitat, and likewise, the populations of associates of each species differed, even when samples of two of these species were found adjacent to one another. Generally, the relationships of the associates to the host sponges were of four sorts: 1. Inquilinism or lodging, either accidental or intentional; 2. Predation or grazing; 3. Competition for space resulting in "cohabitation" of an area, i, e. a plant or animal growing up through a sponge; and 4. Mutualism. Fish eggs in the hollow chambers of Homaxinella sp. represented a case of fish -in- sponge inqilinism, which is the first such one reported in the Pacific Ocean and in this sponge. The sponge Halichondria panicea, with an intracellular algal symbiont, was found to emit an attractant into the water, which Archidoris montereyensis followed in behavior experiments in preference to other sponges simultane- ously offered. A total of 6098 organisms, representing 68 species, were found associated with the specimens of Halichondria panic ea with densities of up to 19 organisms per cubic centimeter of sponge tissue. There were 9581 plants and animals found with Microciona prolifera, and 150 with Suberites lata.

  • Hemichordate Phylogeny: a Molecular, and Genomic Approach By
    Hemichordate Phylogeny: A molecular, and genomic approach by Johanna Taylor Cannon A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama May 4, 2014 Keywords: phylogeny, evolution, Hemichordata, bioinformatics, invertebrates Copyright 2014 by Johanna Taylor Cannon Approved by Kenneth M. Halanych, Chair, Professor of Biological Sciences Jason Bond, Associate Professor of Biological Sciences Leslie Goertzen, Associate Professor of Biological Sciences Scott Santos, Associate Professor of Biological Sciences Abstract The phylogenetic relationships within Hemichordata are significant for understanding the evolution of the deuterostomes. Hemichordates possess several important morphological structures in common with chordates, and they have been fixtures in hypotheses on chordate origins for over 100 years. However, current evidence points to a sister relationship between echinoderms and hemichordates, indicating that these chordate-like features were likely present in the last common ancestor of these groups. Therefore, Hemichordata should be highly informative for studying deuterostome character evolution. Despite their importance for understanding the evolution of chordate-like morphological and developmental features, relationships within hemichordates have been poorly studied. At present, Hemichordata is divided into two classes, the solitary, free-living enteropneust worms, and the colonial, tube- dwelling Pterobranchia. The objective of this dissertation is to elucidate the evolutionary relationships of Hemichordata using multiple datasets. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to Hemichordata and outlines the objectives for the dissertation research. Chapter 2 presents a molecular phylogeny of hemichordates based on nuclear ribosomal 18S rDNA and two mitochondrial genes. In this chapter, we suggest that deep-sea family Saxipendiidae is nested within Harrimaniidae, and Torquaratoridae is affiliated with Ptychoderidae.

During a three-year survey in this area, the larvae of 54 species out of 24 families belonging to the orders Orbiniida, Spionida, Capitelhda, Phyllodocida, Oweniida, Terebelhda, Sabelhda and the former Archiannelida have been recorded. Illustrated keys to the families, genera and species are presented. To facilitate the identification, additional descriptions and information about the seasonal appearance of the species are given. INTRODUCTION More than 13 000 species of polychaetous annelids take part in the marine benthos communities worldwide. Their distribution, species composition and population density are monitored within various benthos surveys. For the North Sea, especially the German Bight and the Wadden Sea, much information about the benthic polychaete fauna is available (Caspers, 1950; Stripp, 1969; DSrjes, 1977; Rachor & Gerlach, 1978; Gillandt, 1979; Salzwedel et al., 1985; Rachor, 1990; Bosselmann, 1991; Kr6ncke, 1991). In contrast, the holoplanktonic polychaete species and the meroplanktonic polychaete larvae, which are only part of the plankton during a more or less expanded phase of their ontogenesis, have never received much attention. Meroplanktonic polychaete larvae are seldomly recorded during studies monitoring the North Sea plankton (Smidt, 1951; Giere, 1968; Fransz, 1981; Bosselmann, 1989; Belgrano et al., 1990).
