OSCAR REVERTER GIL, DOCTOR EN CIENCIAS BIOLÓGICAS POR LA UNIVERSIDAD DE SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA CERTIFICAN: Que la presente memoria titulada BRIOZOOS ESTUDIADOS DURANTE LA REALIZACIÓN DEL PROYECTO “FAUNA IBERICA: BRIOZOOS I”, que presenta D. JAVIER SOUTO DERUNGS para optar al Grado de Doctor en Biología, ha sido realizada en el Departamento de Zoología y Antropología Física de la Facultad de Biología bajo nuestra dirección; y, considerando que representa trabajo de Tesis Doctoral, autorizamos la presentación de la misma. Y para que conste, firmamos el presente certificado en Santiago de Compostela a 31 de enero de 2011. Fdo.: Dr. Oscar Reverter Gil Fdo.: Dr. Eugenio Fernández Pulpeiro A mi familia Agradecimientos No resulta sencillo sintetizar los agradecimientos necesarios hacia aquellos que han hecho posible llevar a cabo este trabajo. Quizás sea fácil delimitar el tiempo que ha durado la realización de la tesis, pero es difícil determinar la gente que ha influenciado de una forma u otra en su consecución, ya que no coinciden necesariamente los plazos. Por lo que, aún resultando una osadía por mi parte, e imposible por espacio, intentar nombrar a todos, no quiero dejar pasar la oportunidad de mostrar mis agradecimientos a las personas sin las cuales, por un motivo profesional, personal, o lo que es más raro, ambos a la vez, no hubiese sido posible este trabajo. Deseo por lo tanto, que todos se vean reflejados en estas palabras. En primer lugar, como no puede ser de otra forma, pero no por ello un formalismo, quisiera mostrar mí agradecimiento a los directores de esta tesis, sin los cuales, tanto científica como personalmente, no hubiese sido posible llevar a cabo este trabajo. A Eugenio, por confiar en mí desde muy temprano y contagiarme su interés por los Briozoos; por sobreponerse a todos los problemas que fueron surgiendo y, a pesar de ellos, tener siempre una palabra de ánimo para continuar. A Oscar, quien ha depositado mucha ilusión y trabajo en esta tesis; que ha dedicado un esfuerzo, tanto en lo profesional como en lo familiar difícilmente recompensable, y que sin él esto no hubiese sido posible. Por ello no puedo dejar de nombrar a Teresa e Inés, mujer e hija, que seguro este trabajo también lo han sufrido, por lo que considero deben de estar en estos agradecimientos. Espero poder seguir compartiendo ilusión y trabajo durante mucho tiempo con los dos, ya que esto, sólo es un punto y seguido. He tenido la oportunidad de realizar tres estancias en París, las cuales no habrían sido posibles sin la ayuda y confianza de Jean-Loup d’Hondt. Y no sólo por recibirme, sino también por la accesibilidad para responder las dudas que le planteábamos. A Pierre Lozouet, actual responsable de las colecciones de Briozoos, a H. Senut y J.P. Saint Martin, del laboratorio de Paleontología, que también me ayudaron durante mis estancias en París. A Javier Sánchez Almazán y Francisco Yagüe, del Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, que pacientemente me fueron enviando el material, además de soportarme revolviendo durante un mes. No quiero olvidarme aquí de agradecer a la gente del museo, especialmente a Annie Machordom, por la agradable estancia que me hicieron pasar en Madrid. A Mary Spencer Jones, del Natural History Museum de Londres, quien buscó y empaquetó todas las muestras que le fuimos pidiendo. A Henry McGhie y Rebecca Machin, del Manchester Museum, por los prestamos de material de la colección Waters. A Michel Creuzé des Châtelliers, de la Université Lyon1, que localizó para nosotros las muestras de la Caudan conservadas en la universidad. A M. Bruni, del Musée Océanographique de Monaco por el envío de diferentes muestras. A Carmen Barbera y Joan Moranta, del IEO de Baleares, por cedernos el material procedente de la campaña Canal0209. A los Drs. Mikel Zabala, Carlos María López-Fe, F.K. McKinney y J.G. Harmelin, quienes además de responder a nuestras consultas, nos enviaron el material de sus colecciones personales. También quiero agradecer aquí a B. Berning, P. Bock, D.P. Gordon, P.J. Hayward, L.M. Vieira, A.N. Ostrovski, A. Rosso, J. López Gappa y P.D. Taylor, por el interés en ayudarnos a solventar los diferentes problemas que fueron surgiendo. Al programa Synthesys, que financió una de las estancias en París para estudiar el material; y su responsable en París, Virginie Boutel, siempre atenta a cualquier cosa en la que poder ayudar. Una mención especial merece la gente del servicio de microscopia electrónica, Miro, Raquel y Merche, con los que he pasado gran cantidad de horas, y me han ayudado a realizar las fotografías de esta memoria. No puedo olvidarme aquí de mis compañeros de laboratorio, con los que también compartí un montón de horas tanto en la facultad como de muestreo, con muchos momentos agradables, pero también otros más duros, pero que juntos hemos conseguido sobrellevarlos. Por ello, a Elena, siempre dispuesta a echar una mano; a Vicente con quien compartí muchos muestreos en los últimos años; y a María, a quien preguntar sobre estadística. A Ignacio Bárbara, Javier Cremades, Pilar Díaz y Viviana Peña, del grupo de algas de la Universidad de A Coruña, por las muchas indicaciones dadas, y por permitirme acompañarlos en los muestreos realizados en Portugal, una parte muy importante de esta tesis. A los doctorandos del departamento de Zoología, compañeros de inquietudes, y que a pesar de no ser un asiduo a los cafés, siempre están para hacer breves descansos. Muchos son los compañeros de la facultad, que por una cosa u otra, deberían de aparecer en este apartado, pero se harían eternos, así que vaya a hacia ellos mi agradecimiento. Sin embargo, no puedo olvidarme de nombrar a los que conocí nada más llegar, y con los que a pesar del tiempo, y de los diferentes caminos tomados, mantenemos una gran amistad: Bruno, Marian, Raquel Romay, Javi y Antonio. Y por algún motivo, indefinible en palabras, muy especialmente a Raquel, quien además, siempre esta ahí, para cuidarme, como dice ella, en los momentos que más se necesita. Pero si de tiempo se trata, que decir de los amigos de Ferrol, que aún sin saber muy bien de que va esto siempre me han apoyado, y entre todos ellos especialmente a Pablo y a Victor. A Fran y a Toni, con quienes he compartido muchas inmersiones, algunas de ellas para recoger Briozoos, y que con el paso del tiempo van a distinguir las colonias mejor que yo. A Pablo Riera, con quien he ido muchas veces al mar, siempre con ganas de aprender, y que a pesar de las ocupaciones y la distancia, mantenemos una gran amistad. A Javi, con quien compartir y desahogar, pero, a fin de cuentas, con quien disfrutar de un montón de cosas. A Sofía y Benja, con quien cambiar de aires por Santiago adelante. A María, por su apoyo y comprensión. No cabría aquí todo lo que podría decir de ella, por ello, sólo darle las gracias; a ella pertenece gran parte de este trabajo. Y por último, y quizás, junto con los directores, los agradecimientos más necesarios y sentidos, a mis padres y mis hermanas, Silvia y Cristina, por su apoyo y comprensión incondicional, y que, por supuesto sin él, no estaría poniéndole final a este ciclo. Este trabajo ha sido financiado por el proyecto “Fauna Ibérica: Briozoos I (Ctenostomados y Queilostomados Anascos)” (CGL2006-04167), cofinanciado por Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación y FEDER.

Abstract Larger molecular phylogenies based on ever more genes are becoming commonplace with the advent of cheaper and more streamlined sequencing and bioinformatics pipelines. However, many groups of inconspicuous but no less evolutionarily or ecologically important marine invertebrates are still neglected in the quest for understanding species- and higher- level phylogenetic relationships. Here, we alleviate this issue by presenting the molecular sequences of 165 cheilostome bryozoan species from New Zealand waters.

Ovicells, oviposition and placental brooding 2. Other types of external brood chambers with calcified walls 3. Internal brood chambers and intracoelomic brooding 4. External brooding sacs 5. Acknowledgements Cheilostome bryozoans possess a range of methods for embryonic incubation. Embryos are brooded in the external membranous sacs, skeletal (calcified) chambers and internal brooding sacs formed by non-calcified zooidal walls, or develop intracoelomically in viviparous species. In some instances extraembryonic nutrition has been evolved. Most cheilostomes keep their young in the skeletal chambers called ovicells. Presence or absence of the ovicells as well as their morphology is considered to be important characters in the taxonomy of Cheilostomata. There are several morphological types of ovicells, and most common are hyperstomial ones that often look like hemispherical bubbles or helmets on the colony surface. Basically, the hyperstomial ovicell consists of a two-walled calcified fold (ooecium) with a coelomic cavity inside, a non-calcified distal wall of the maternal autozooid (that produces eggs), and the brooding cavity between them (Figure 1).

  • THE SUBTIDAL BRYOZOAN FAUNA OFF CAPE ARAGO, OREGON By
    THE SUBTIDAL BRYOZOAN FAUNA OFF CAPE ARAGO, OREGON By Dylan M. Cottrell A THESIS Presented to the Department of Biology And the Robert D. Clark Honors College of the University of Oregon In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Bachelor of Science May 2013 ii Copyright 2013 Dylan Cottrell iii An Abstract of the Thesis of Dylan Michael Cottrell for the degree of Bachelor of Science In the Department of Biology to be taken June 17th, 2013. Title: SUBTIDAL BRYOZOAN FAUNA OFF CAPE ARAGO, OREGON Approved: Dr. Craig M. Young The subtidal marine biodiversity off the Oregon coast is poorly studied and not well understood. The few subtidal studies in Oregon have focused on vertebrates with little regard to invertebrate assemblages. Oregon’s subtidal Bryozoa play key roles in these assemblages by providing habitat, food, and, potentially, pollution sequestration. Using dredge samples collected over two years, we assembled a comprehensive list of Bryozoa found between 30-60 m depth off Cape Arago, Oregon. A total of 41 species were collected, including one new species in the genus Fenestruloides. Although 25 families were represented in our samples, 17 (68%) families were only represented by one species and only two families (8%) were represented by more than three species. This data provides the first comprehensive survey of Oregon’s subtidal bryozoan biodiversity and is an important first step in understanding the region’s biodiversity. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Craig Young for his support and guidance that made this research possible as well as his work editing this thesis.
