Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution, Fort Pierce, Florida. U.S.A. (Received 24 March 1987; revision received 9 December 1987; accepted 22 December 1987) Abstract: In the San Juan Islands, Washington, solitary ascidians .that occur in dense monospecific aggregations demonstrate gregarious settlement as larvae, whereas species that occur as isolated individuals do not. All gregarious species reject their own eggs and larvae as food, but nongregarious species consume conspecific eggs and larvae. Moreover, the rejection mechanism is species-specific in some cases. Correla­ tion analysis suggests that species specificity of the rejection response has a basis in siphon diameter, egg density, and larval size, but not in number of oral tentacles, or tentacle branching. One strongly cannibalistic species, Corella inflata Huntsman, avoids consuming its own eggs and newly released tadpoles by a unique brooding mechanism that involves floating eggs, negative geotaxis after hatching, and adult orientation. Key words: Ascidian; Cannibalism; Distribution; Larva; Settlement behavior INTRODUCTION Many sessile marine invertebrates, including filter-feeders such as mussels, oysters, barnacles and ascidians, occur in discrete, dense aggregations.

    BC Parks Living Lab for Climate Change and Conservation Final Report (Contract #TP19JHQ008) Baeria Rocks Ecological Reserve - Subtidal Survey 2018 Isabelle M. Côté and Siobhan Gray Department of Biological Sciences, Simon Fraser University/ Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre [email protected], [email protected] 8 February 2019 Dive surveys of fish and invertebrates were carried out at Baeria Rocks Ecological Reserve on 7 June 2018, to continue a monitoring effort that began in 2007. Twelve divers (7 students from the Scientific Diving class of the Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre (BMSC), two Sci Diving Instructors, two course teaching assistants, and one additional diver) were present. All divers were well trained in survey techniques and identification. On each dive, one diver was assigned to tending duties, leaving 11 divers in the water. Surveys were conducted between 10.00 and 13.30 by five dive teams. Two teams conducted timed roving surveys and three teams conducted transects. As in previous years, the teams were deployed around the north islets for the first dive, and around the south islet for the second dive, alternating roving and transect teams along the shore (Figure 1). Roving survey method Each roving team carried out a 40-50 min roving survey, from a maximum depth of 50 ft (14.5 m) depth (where possible), to the top of the reef, swimming in a semi- systematic zigzag pattern from deep to shallow water. Both divers counted every individual observed of each species listed on an underwater roving survey sheet. When a species was very abundant (i.e. more than ~100 individuals), surveyors recorded numbers as ‘lots’.

  • Sponge Diversity in Eastern Tropical Pacific Coral Reefs: an Interoceanic

    Sponge Diversity in Eastern Tropical Pacific Coral Reefs: an Interoceanic

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Sponge diversity in Eastern Tropical Pacifc coral reefs: an interoceanic comparison Received: 20 December 2018 José Luis Carballo1, José Antonio Cruz-Barraza1, Cristina Vega1, Héctor Nava2 & Accepted: 14 June 2019 María del Carmen Chávez-Fuentes2 Published: xx xx xxxx Sponges are an important component of coral reef communities. The present study is the frst devoted exclusively to coral reef sponges from Eastern Tropical Pacifc (ETP). Eighty-seven species were found, with assemblages dominated by very small cryptic patches and boring sponges such as Cliona vermifera; the most common species in ETP reefs. We compared the sponge patterns from ETP reefs, Caribbean reefs (CR) and West Pacifc reefs (WPR), and all have in common that very few species dominate the sponge assemblages. However, they are massive or large sun exposed sponges in CR and WPR, and small encrusting and boring cryptic species in ETP. At a similar depth, CR and WPR had seven times more individuals per m2, and between four (CR) and fve times (WPR) more species per m2 than ETP. Perturbation, at local and large scale, rather than biological factors, seems to explain the low prevalence and characteristics of sponge assemblages in ETP reefs, which are very frequently located in shallow water where excessive turbulence, abrasion and high levels of damaging light occur. Other factors such as the recurrence of large-scale phenomena (mainly El Niño events), age of the reef (younger in ETP), isolation (higher in ETP), difculty to gain recruits from distant areas (higher in ETP), are responsible for shaping ETP sponge communities.

Internal phylogeny and relationships between Styelidae and Pyuridae 37 were inconclusive however. In order to clarify these points we used mitochondrial and 38 nuclear sequences from 31 species of Styelidae and 25 of Pyuridae. Phylogenetic trees 39 recovered the Pyuridae as a monophyletic clade, and their genera appeared as 40 monophyletic with the exception of Pyura.

    Comparative Embryology and Larval Biology BI 457/557 OIMB Spring

    Comparative Embryology and Larval Biology BI 457/557 ! OIMB Spring 2015 In this class we survey embryonic and larval development in a broad selection of marine invertebrate phyla, including but not limited to Cnidaria (jellyfish), Ctenophora (comb jellies) Platyhelminthes (flatworms), Annelida (segmented worms), Mollusca (snails, clams etc.), Nemertea (ribbon worms), Phoronida (horseshoe worms), Echinodermata (starfish, sea urchins etc.), Bryozoa, Arthropoda (crustaceans), and Urochordata (sea squirts etc.). Lectures cover major developmental concepts and processes such as fertilization, differentiation, morphogenesis, reproductive and developmental strategies, and larval function. Students explore the diversity of marine embryos and larvae by culturing dozens of representative species in the laboratory. In addition to laboratory demonstrations, we go on field trips to visit local marine habitats and collect live material for study. Students become proficient in using microscopes, and hone their observation and scientific illustration skills.

These patterns can also be one of the indicators for prediction of the phylogenetic affinity of the nudibranch. Specimens of the nudibranch (Phyllidia varicosa) were collected from Koh Phi Phi and neighbouring islands in Krabi. The spicule network in the mantle of the central notum looked like a net, whilst at the edge of the mantle it appeared as a radial line crossing the body. The spicules in the nudibranch foot were interlaced and were perpendicular to the body length. A study of the spicule contents by indirect examination indicated that the CaCO3 content in the central notum, mantle edge, and foot was 460 ± 20, 462 ± 20, and 469 ± 20 mg/g dry weight, respectively. The spicule content in the various body regions did not differ significantly (p = 0.7). The relationship between total weight of the spicule network (TW) and whole body dry weight (WB) was estimated as TW = 0.446WB (R2 = 0.9994).

Frank The opisthobranch molluscs of Oregon have been little studied, and little is known about the biology of many species. The present study consisted of field and laboratory observations of Cape Arago opistho- branchs. Forty-six species were found, extending the range of six north- ward and two southward. New food records are presented for nine species; an additional 20 species were observed feeding on previously recorded prey. Development data are given for 21 species. Twenty produce plank- totrophic larvae, and Doto amyra produces lecithotrophic larvae, the first such example known from Eastern Pacific opisthobranchs. Hallaxa chani appears to be the first eudoridacean nudibranch known to have a subannual life cycle. Development, life cycles, food and competition, iv ranges, and the ecological role of nudibranchs are discussed. Nudi- branchs appear to significantly affect the diversity of the Cape Arago encrusting community.
