This study delivers the first detailed description of the development of the nervous system in a cirriped species, Amphibalanus improvisus by using immunohistochemical labeling against acetylated alpha-tubulin, and confocal laser scanning microscopy. The development of the nervous system in the naupliar stages corresponds largely to that in other crustaceans. As development progresses, the protocerebral sensory organs differentiate and the intersegmental nerves forming the complex peripheral nervous system appear, innervating the sensory structures of the cephalic shield. During metamorphosis into a cypris the lateral sides of the cephalic shield fold down into a bilateral carapace, which leads to a reorganization of the peripheral ner- vous system. The syncerebrum of the cypris exhibits the highest degree of complexity of all developmen- tal stages, innervating the frontal filaments, nauplius eye, compound eyes and the antennules. During settlement, when the second metamorphosis occur, the closely associated frontal filaments and © KALKE ET AL., 2020 | doi:10.1163/18759866-bja10003 This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the cc-by 4.0 License. Downloaded from Brill.com10/08/2021 07:29:42PM via free access <UN> From swimming towards sessility 325 compound eyes are shed together with the cuticle of the carapace and the antennules. In adults, the syn- cerebral structures are reduced while the ventral nerve cord and the peripheral nervous system increase in complexity. The peripheral nervous system plays an important role in processing sensory input and also in settlement. In summary, through the larval development we observed a structural and thus also functional increase of complexity in favor of the peripheral nervous system and the ventral nerve cord.

The number of epibiont barnacles varied from 247 to 1,544 specimens per prawn; these were distributed predominantly on the cephalothorax and pereiopods, but also on the abdomen and other appendices. Although some were already reproducing, most barnacles had been recruited recently or were still sexually immature; this suggests recent host arrival in that estuarine environment. Despite the fact that other barnacles occur in this region, A. improvisus is the only species reported as an epibiont on Macrobrachium acanthurus; this was also the first record of epibiosis on this host . The occurrence of innumerable specimens in the pereiopods' articulations and the almost complete covering of the carapace of some prawns (which also increased their weight) suggest that A. improvisus is adapted to fixate this kind of biogenic substrate and that the relationship between the two species biologically damages the basibiont.

Cypris settled predominantly on the carapace (67%), mostly on the gastric area (40%), on the left or right orbital areas (35%), on the head appendages, and on the pereiopods 1–3. Encrusting individuals were mostly small (84%); medium-sized specimens accounted for 11% and large for 5%. On the cephalothorax, most were observed in branchial (661) and orbital areas (240). Only 40–41 individuals were found on gastric and cardiac areas. Some individuals (246), mostly small (95%), were observed on the dorsal portion of somites.

  • Origin of Chordates Part-I
    ORIGIN OF CHORDATES Evolution of chordate was one of the most important event in the history of chordate as it was the beginning of evolution of more advanced chordates like bird and mammals. It is the story of origin from a primitive invertebrate like creatures to early chordates. Though first fossil of the first vertebrate the ostrachoderm was discovered from the Ordovician period but it might have originated in late Cambrian period. As early chordates were soft bodied, their fossil records are not preserved. Hence, to trace their ancestry, we have to find out the similarity among different deuterostomes to trace the origin of chordates. Some structural features shared by them such as bilateral symmetry, antero-posterior body axis, triploblastic coelomate condition, etc., may he because of their common ancestry. TIME OF ORIGIN: Late Cambrian period PLACE OF ORIGIN: Fresh water THEORIES OF INVERTEBRATE ANCESTRY OF CHORDATES Several theories have been put forwarded to explain the origin of chordates either directly from some invertebrate group or through the intervention of some protochordate. Almost every invertebrate phylum—Coelenterata, Nemertean, Phoronida, Annelids, Arthropods and Echinodermatashas been suggested. But these theories are far from being satisfactory and convincing and have only a historical value. Only the echinoderm theory has received some acceptance. DIVISION OF BILATERIA The Bilateria is divided into two major divisions (1) Protostomia and (2) Deuterostornia. This division is based on the differences in embryonic and larval developments. Protostomia includes from Annelida to Arthropoda while deuterostomia includes Echinodermata, Pogonophora and Chordate. DEUTEROSTOME LINE OF CHORDATE EVOLUTION Following common features of all Deuterostomes suggests strong evidence of a closer evolutionary relationship between the three principal deuterostome phyla – Echinodermata, Hemichordata and Chordata.

It is uncertain amount and species of fouling organisms which were transferred from Japan to the U.S. and Canada. This research is the survey which is aimed to obtain a thorough collection of fouling organisms to morphologically and genetically complement the existing collection of JTMD species in Japan. 1 Materials and method The survey was conducted at several locations in the Tohoku coast. Fouling plates of 14 cm square were placed in 3 different locations; Miyako (Iwate prefecture), Kesennuma and Matsushima (Miyagi prefecture) in July or August, 2015 (Figure 1).
