  • The Chiton Radula: a Unique Model for Biomineralization Studies
    4 The Chiton Radula: A Unique Model for Biomineralization Studies Lesley R. Brooker1 and Jeremy A. Shaw2 1University of the Sunshine Coast 2Centre for Microscopy, Characterisation & Analysis University of Western Australia Australia 1. Introduction Over the course of evolution, a range of strategies have been developed by different organisms to produce unique materials and structures perfected for their specific function. This biological mastery of materials production has inspired the birth of the new discipline of biomaterials through biomimicry (Birchall, 1989). Chitons (Mollusca: Polyplacophora) are slow moving, bilaterally symmetrical and dorso- ventrally flattened molluscs that are commonly found on hard substrata in intertidal regions of coastlines around the world (Kaas & Jones, 1998). All species are characterized by a series of eight dorsal, articulating shell plates or valves, which may be embedded, to varying degrees, in a fleshy, muscular girdle (Kaas & Jones, 1998) (Figure 1). Approximately 750 living species are known, and while intertidal regions are home to the majority of chitons, a number of species can be found at depths of up to 8000m where they feed on detrital material (Kaas & Jones, 1998). Fig. 1. Photograph of the dorsal surface of the chiton Acanthopleura gaimardi, showing the eight overlapping aragonite plates surrounded by the fleshy girdle, which, in this species, is covered in small aragonite spines. Chitons feed by rasping macro- and micro-algae from the rocks on which they live through the use of a radula. The radula has been coined as a conveyor belt of continuously developing www.intechopen.com 66 Advanced Topics in Biomineralization teeth, replaced by new teeth as they are worn and lost.

  • Vortex Arrays and Ciliary Tangles Underlie the Feeding–Swimming Tradeoff in Starfish Larvae
    Vortex arrays and ciliary tangles underlie the feeding{swimming tradeoff in starfish larvae William Gilpin1, Vivek N. Prakash2, Manu Prakash2∗ 1Department of Applied Physics, 2Department of Bioengineering, Stanford University, Stanford, CA ∗To whom correspondence should be addressed; E-mail: [email protected] March 12, 2018 arXiv:1611.01173v2 [physics.flu-dyn] 13 Feb 2017 1 Abstract Many marine invertebrates have larval stages covered in linear arrays of beating cilia, which propel the animal while simultaneously entraining planktonic prey.1 These bands are strongly conserved across taxa spanning four major superphyla,2,3 and they are responsible for the unusual morphologies of many invertebrate larvae.4,5 However, few studies have investigated their underlying hydrodynamics.6,7 Here, we study the ciliary bands of starfish larvae, and discover a beautiful pattern of slowly-evolving vor- tices that surrounds the swimming animals. Closer inspection of the bands reveals unusual ciliary \tangles" analogous to topological defects that break-up and re-form as the animal adjusts its swimming stroke. Quantitative experiments and modeling demonstrate that these vortices create a physical tradeoff between feeding and swim- ming in heterogenous environments, which manifests as distinct flow patterns or \eigen- strokes" representing each behavior|potentially implicating neuronal control of cilia. This quantitative interplay between larval form and hydrodynamic function may gen- eralize to other invertebrates with ciliary bands, and illustrates the potential

  • Possible Anti-Predation Properties of the Egg Masses of the Marine Gastropods Dialula Sandiegensis, Doris Montereyensis and Haminoea Virescens (Mollusca, Gastropoda)
    Possible anti-predation properties of the egg masses of the marine gastropods Dialula sandiegensis, Doris montereyensis and Haminoea virescens (Mollusca, Gastropoda) E. Sally Chang1,2 Friday Harbor Laboratories Marine Invertebrate Zoology Summer Term 2014 1Friday Harbor Laboratories, University of Washington, Friday Harbor, WA 98250 2University of Kansas, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Lawrence, KS 66044 Contact information: E. Sally Chang Dept. of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology University of Kansas 1200 Sunnyside Avenue Lawrence, KS 66044 [email protected] Keywords: gastropods, nudibranchs, Cephalaspidea, predation, toxins, feedimg, crustaceans Chang 1 Abstract Many marine mollucs deposit their eggs on the substrate encapsulated in distinctive masses, thereby leaving the egg case and embryos vulnerable to possible predators and pathogens. Although it is apparent that many marine gastropods possess chemical anti-predation mechanisms as an adult, it is not known from many species whether or not these compounds are widespread in the egg masses. This study aims to expand our knowledge of egg mass predation examining the feeding behavior of three species of crab when offered egg mass material from three gastropods local to the San Juan Islands. The study includes the dorid nudibranchs Diaulula sandiegensis and Doris montereyensis and the cephalospidean Haminoea virescens. The results illustrate a clear rejection of the egg masses by all three of the crab species tested, suggesting anti- predation mechanisms in the egg masses for all three species of gastropod. Introduction Eggs that are laid and then left by the parents are vulnerable to a variety of environmental stressors, both biotic and abiotic. A common, possibly protective strategy among marine invertebrates is to lay encapsulated aggregations of embryos in jelly masses (Pechenik 1978), where embryos live for all or part of their development.

Monthly samples were collected with 0.1 mm mesh closing nets hauled vertically through five con tiguous discrete depths between the surface and ~2000 m. D. pseudodiscophora occurred predomi nantly from the base of the thermocline to a depth of 500 m. O. haddoni and M. skogsbergi occurred somewhat deeper at depths of 250 to 1000 m, but were also moderately abundant below 1000 m. Sampling was undertaken both by day and by night during December 1996, April and October 1997 to assess diel vertical migration activity, but revealed no appreciable day/night differences in the ver tical distributions of the ostracods. All the instars sampled [instars II through VIII (adults) of D. pseu dodiscophora and O. haddoni, and instars III through VIII (adults) of M. skogsbergi] were collected throughout the entire period of the study. All three species showed evidence of ontogenetic vertical migration—the ranges of these migrations being from 300-1000 m in D.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Design and Implementation of Environmental DNA Metabarcoding Methods for Monitoring the Southern California Marine Protected Area Network A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Biology by Zachary Jacob Gold 2020 © Copyright by Zachary Jacob Gold 2020 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Design and Implementation of Environmental DNA Metabarcoding Methods for Monitoring the Southern California Marine Protected Area Network by Zachary Jacob Gold Doctor of Philosophy in Biology University of California, Los Angeles, 2020 Professor Paul Barber, Chair Marine protected areas (MPAs) are important tools for maintaining biodiversity and abundance of marine species. However, key to the effectiveness of MPAs is monitoring of marine communities. Current monitoring methods rely heavily on SCUBA-based visual observations that are costly and time consuming, limiting the scope of MPA monitoring. Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is a promising cost effective, rapid, and automatable alternative for marine ecosystem monitoring. However, as a developing tool, the utility of eDNA metabarcoding requires improved bioinformatic techniques and reference barcode databases. Furthermore, it is important to understand how eDNA metabarcoding performs relative to visual surveys to better understand the strengths and limitations of each approach. This thesis improves eDNA metabarcoding approaches to survey the nearshore rocky reef and kelp forest ecosystems within the Southern California MPA network. It then tests the effectiveness of eDNA metabarcoding against visual surveys conducted by the Channel Islands National Park Service ii Kelp Forest Monitoring Program and Reef Check California. In Chapter 1, I develop FishCARD, a 12S reference barcode database specific to fishes of the California Current ecosystem.

This study was carried out, through a total of 271 scuba dives, from 2017 to the beginning of 2020 in four sites located along the Ionian coasts of Sicily: Catania, Aci Trezza, Santa Maria La Scala and Santa Tecla. Through a photographic data collection, 95 taxa, representing 17.27% of all Mediterranean marine Heterobranchia, were reported. The order with the highest number of found species was that of Nudibranchia. Among the study areas, Catania, Santa Maria La Scala and Santa Tecla had not a remarkable difference in the number of species, while Aci Trezza had the lowest number of species. Moreover, among the 95 taxa, four species considered rare and six non-indigenous species have been recorded. Since the presence of a high diversity of sea slugs in a relatively small area, the central-eastern coast of Sicily could be considered a zone of high biodiversity for the marine Heterobranchia fauna.

KORNJCKEB Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C. Myodocopid ostracods of the deeper waters of the Gulf of Mexico are virtually unknown . only 1 species, Cypridina fla- tus Tressler, 1949, having been previously reported from 1200 meters near Tortugas (Tressler, 1949, p. 336, p. 431). There- fore, I was quite pleased to receive from Dr. Willis E. Pequeg- nat and Mr. Thomas J. Bright a small collection containing myodocopid ostracods collected in a mid-water trawl that acci- dentally dragged along the bottom at a depth of 1000-1200 meters for 1.5 hours during the Texas A&M University cruise 66-A-9 of the R/V Alaminos on July 11, 1966. The Myodo- copida are described in the systematic part of this paper. Os- tracods in the sample are listed below: Order Myodocopida Suborder Myodocopina Superfamily Cypridinacea Tetragonodon rhamphodes new species 19 Paramekodon poidseni new species 19 Bathyvargula optilus new species 299,1 juv.
