Metabolic Response of Antarctic Pteropods (Mollusca: Gastropoda) to Food Deprivation and Regional Productivity
Vol. 441: 129–139, 2011 MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published November 15 doi: 10.3354/meps09358 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Metabolic response of Antarctic pteropods (Mollusca: Gastropoda) to food deprivation and regional productivity Amy E. Maas1,*, Leanne E. Elder1, Heidi M. Dierssen2, Brad A. Seibel1 1Department of Biological Sciences, University of Rhode Island, Kingston, Rhode Island 02881, USA 2Department of Marine Sciences, University of Connecticut, Groton, Connecticut 06340, USA ABSTRACT: Pteropods are an abundant group of pelagic gastropods that, although temporally and spatially patchy in the Southern Ocean, can play an important role in food webs and biochem- ical cycles. We found that the metabolic rate in Limacina helicina antarctica is depressed (~23%) at lower mean chlorophyll a (chl a) concentrations in the Ross Sea. To assess the specific impact of food deprivation on these animals, we quantified aerobic respiration and ammonia (NH3) produc- tion for 2 dominant Antarctic pteropods, L. helicina antarctica and Clione limacina antarctica. Pteropods collected from sites west of Ross Island, Antarctica were held in captivity for a period of 1 to 13 d to determine their metabolic response to laboratory-induced food deprivation. L. helicina antarctica reduced oxygen consumption by ~20% after 4 d in captivity. Ammonia excretion was not significantly affected, suggesting a greater reliance on protein as a substrate for cellular res- piration during starvation. The oxygen consumption rate of the gymnosome, C. li macina antarc- tica, was reduced by ~35% and NH3 excretion by ~55% after 4 d without prey. Our results indi- cate that there is a link between the large scale chl a concentrations of the Ross Sea and the baseline metabolic rate of pteropods which impacts these animals across multiple seasons. -

They are considered to be especially vulnerable among plankton to ocean acidification (OA), but to recognize changes due to anthropogenic forcing a baseline understanding of their life history is needed. In the present study, adult Limacina retroversa were collected on five cruises from multiple sites in the Gulf of Maine (between 42° 22.1’–42° 0.0’ N and 69° 42.6’–70° 15.4’ W; water depths of ca. 45–260 m) from October 2013−November 2014. They were maintained in the laboratory under continuous light at 8° C. There was evidence of year-round reproduction and an individual life span in the laboratory of 6 months. Eggs laid in captivity were observed throughout development. Hatching occurred after 3 days, the veliger stage was reached after 6−7 days, and metamorphosis to the juvenile stage was after ~ 1 month. Reproductive individuals were first observed after 3 months. Calcein staining of embryos revealed calcium storage beginning in the late gastrula stage. -

A Draft Genome and Target Capture Probes for Limacina Bulimoides, Tested for Cross-Species Relevance Le Qin Choo1,2*† , Thijs M

BMC Genomics (2020) 21:11 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-019-6372-z RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Novel genomic resources for shelled pteropods: a draft genome and target capture probes for Limacina bulimoides, tested for cross-species relevance Le Qin Choo1,2*† , Thijs M. P. Bal3†, Marvin Choquet3, Irina Smolina3, Paula Ramos-Silva1, Ferdinand Marlétaz4, Martina Kopp3, Galice Hoarau3 and Katja T. C. A. Peijnenburg1,2* Abstract Background: Pteropods are planktonic gastropods that are considered as bio-indicators to monitor impacts of ocean acidification on marine ecosystems. In order to gain insight into their adaptive potential to future environmental changes, it is critical to use adequate molecular tools to delimit species and population boundaries and to assess their genetic connectivity. We developed a set of target capture probes to investigate genetic variation across their large-sized genome using a population genomics approach. Target capture is less limited by DNA amount and quality than other genome-reduced representation protocols, and has the potential for application on closely related species based on probes designed from one species. Results: We generated the first draft genome of a pteropod, Limacina bulimoides, resulting in a fragmented assembly of 2.9 Gbp. Using this assembly and a transcriptome as a reference, we designed a set of 2899 genome- wide target capture probes for L. bulimoides. The set of probes includes 2812 single copy nuclear targets, the 28S rDNA sequence, ten mitochondrial genes, 35 candidate biomineralisation genes, and 41 non-coding regions. The capture reaction performed with these probes was highly efficient with 97% of the targets recovered on the focal species. -

They are part of the class Gastropoda and located in the order Ophistobranchia. The pteropods are divided into the orders Thecosomata and Gymnosomata. They are small to medium sized animals, ranging from little more than 1mm for example in many members of the Genus Limacina to larger species such as Cymbulia peroni, which reaches a pseudoconch length of 65mm. The mostly shell bearing Thecosomata are known from about 74 recent species worldwide and are divided into five families. The Limacinidae are small gastropods with a sinistrally coiled shell; they can completely retract their body into the shell. Seven recent species of the genus Limacina are known. The Cavoliniidae is the largest of the thecosomate families with about 47 species with quite unusually formed shells. -

Gastropoda, Pteropoda
BASTERIA 38: 19-26, 1974 Notes the adult and in Diacria on young stages (Gastropoda, Pteropoda) W.L. Panhorst & S. van der Spoel Institute of Taxonomic Zoology (Zoologisch Museum), Amsterdam INTRODUCTION The adults and minute stages of the Cavoliniidae as described earlier (Van der Spoel, 1967) have been distinguished chiefly by studying their soft parts; only a few notes were made on differences in the shells of young and older specimens (Van der Spoel, 1970). A large collection of 1 Diacria, made during the Ocean Acre Program in the Bermuda area, made possible a more careful study of their shells. Concerning the two forms in D. trispinosa, the second author (Van der Spoel, 1967: 84) stated ". both formae are sometimes collected in one and the same The rank to them is too low ." and sample. systematic given perhaps . (Van der Spoel, 1970: 105) "the largest specimens", of the forma trispinosa, "which are as long as tropical specimens of the closely related and larger forma major”. The differences between the two taxa forma are evidently small, but the rank is clearly too low as both are sympatric in space and time. This also implicates that we are not dealing with subspecies so that one is forced to consider both taxa of separate species. That two morphs of one species are present instead two species seems impossible as both show considerable geographic variation. Originally described as varieties (Boas, 1886) or subspecies (Tesch, 1913), and later considered formae (Van der Spoel, 1967), the two taxa now have to be considered distinct species: Diacria trispinosa (De Blainville, 1821) and Diacria major (Boas, 1886).
