  • I FLATWORM PREDATION on JUVENILE FRESHWATER
    FLATWORM PREDATION ON JUVENILE FRESHWATER MUSSELS A Thesis Presented to the Graduate College of Southwest Missouri State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master of Science Degree By Angela Marie Delp July 2002 i FLATWORM PREDATION OF JUVENILE FRESHWATER MUSSELS Biology Department Southwest Missouri State University, July 27, 2002 Master of Science in Biology Angela Marie Delp ABSTRACT Free-living flatworms (Phylum Platyhelminthes, Class Turbellaria) are important predators on small aquatic invertebrates. Macrostomum tuba, a predominantly benthic species, feeds on juvenile freshwater mussels in fish hatcheries and mussel culture facilities. Laboratory experiments were performed to assess the predation rate of M. tuba on newly transformed juveniles of plain pocketbook mussel, Lampsilis cardium. Predation rate at 20 oC in dishes without substrate was 0.26 mussels·worm-1·h-1. Predation rate increased to 0.43 mussels·worm-1·h-1 when a substrate, polyurethane foam, was present. Substrate may have altered behavior of the predator and brought the flatworms in contact with the mussels more often. An alternative prey, the cladoceran Ceriodaphnia reticulata, was eaten at a higher rate than mussels when only one prey type was present, but at a similar rate when both were present. Finally, the effect of flatworm size (0.7- 2.2 mm long) on predation rate on mussels (0.2 mm) was tested. Predation rate increased with predator size. The slope of this relationship decreased with increasing predator size. Predation rate was near zero in 0.7 mm worms. Juvenile mussels grow rapidly and can escape flatworm predation by exceeding the size of these tiny predators.

Here, we Species delimitation investigated species diversity within the marine microturbellarian Astrotorhynchus bifidus sensu lato in the turbellaria Northeast Pacific Ocean. We used a multiple-evidence approach combining multi-gene (18S, 28S, COI) phylo- Pseudo-cryptic species genetic analyses, several single-gene and multi-gene species delimitation methods, haplotype networks and COI conventional taxonomy to designate Primary Species Hypotheses (PSHs). This included the development of rhabdocoel-specific COI barcode primers, which also have the potential to aid in species identification and delimitation in other rhabdocoels. Secondary Species Hypotheses (SSHs) corresponding to morphospecies and pseudo-cryptic species were then proposed based on the minimum consensus of different PSHs. Our results showed that (a) there are at least five species in the A. bifidus complex in the Northeast Pacific Ocean, four of which can be diagnosed based on stylet morphology, (b) the A.

Two of these, Acirrostylus poncedeleoni n.g. n.sp. andPolliculus cochlearis n.g. n.sp. could not be placed in any existing genera.A. poncedeleoni n.g. n.sp. can be recognized from other Cicerinidae Meixner, 1928 by the fact that there is only one ovovitellarium and by the lack of a cirrus in the male atrium.P. cochlearis n.g. n.sp. is characterized by the fact that there is only one testis and vas deferens, a unique situation within the Dalyelliidae Graff, 1905. Apart from these two species, six other new species are described: Cheliplana triductibus n.sp. and C. uruguayensis n.sp. (Karkino­ rhynchidae Meixner, 1928),Carcharodorhynchus viridis n.sp.

  • Developmental Diversity in Free-Living Flatworms Martín-Durán and Egger
    Developmental diversity in free-living flatworms Martín-Durán and Egger Martín-Durán and Egger EvoDevo 2012, 3:7 http://www.evodevojournal.com/content/3/1/7 (19 March 2012) Martín-Durán and Egger EvoDevo 2012, 3:7 http://www.evodevojournal.com/content/3/1/7 REVIEW Open Access Developmental diversity in free-living flatworms José María Martín-Durán1,2 and Bernhard Egger3,4* Abstract Flatworm embryology has attracted attention since the early beginnings of comparative evolutionary biology. Considered for a long time the most basal bilaterians, the Platyhelminthes (excluding Acoelomorpha) are now robustly placed within the Spiralia. Despite having lost their relevance to explain the transition from radially to bilaterally symmetrical animals, the study of flatworm embryology is still of great importance to understand the diversification of bilaterians and of developmental mechanisms. Flatworms are acoelomate organisms generally with a simple centralized nervous system, a blind gut, and lacking a circulatory organ, a skeleton and a respiratory system other than the epidermis. Regeneration and asexual reproduction, based on a totipotent neoblast stem cell system, are broadly present among different groups of flatworms. While some more basally branching groups - such as polyclad flatworms - retain the ancestral quartet spiral cleavage pattern, most flatworms have significantly diverged from this pattern and exhibit unique strategies to specify the common adult body plan. Most free-living flatworms (i.e. Platyhelminthes excluding the parasitic Neodermata) are directly developing, whereas in polyclads, also indirect developers with an intermediate free-living larval stage and subsequent metamorphosis are found. A comparative study of developmental diversity may help understanding major questions in evolutionary biology, such as the evolution of cleavage patterns, gastrulation and axial specification, the evolution of larval types, and the diversification and specialization of organ systems.
