  • Morphology, Phylogeny, and Diversity of Trichonympha (Parabasalia: Hypermastigida) of the Wood-Feeding Cockroach Cryptocercus Punctulatus
    J. Eukaryot. Microbiol., 56(4), 2009 pp. 305–313 r 2009 The Author(s) Journal compilation r 2009 by the International Society of Protistologists DOI: 10.1111/j.1550-7408.2009.00406.x Morphology, Phylogeny, and Diversity of Trichonympha (Parabasalia: Hypermastigida) of the Wood-Feeding Cockroach Cryptocercus punctulatus KEVIN J. CARPENTER, LAWRENCE CHOW and PATRICK J. KEELING Canadian Institute for Advanced Research, Botany Department, University of British Columbia, University Boulevard, Vancouver, BC, Canada V6T 1Z4 ABSTRACT. Trichonympha is one of the most complex and visually striking of the hypermastigote parabasalids—a group of anaerobic flagellates found exclusively in hindguts of lower termites and the wood-feeding cockroach Cryptocercus—but it is one of only two genera common to both groups of insects. We investigated Trichonympha of Cryptocercus using light and electron microscopy (scanning and transmission), as well as molecular phylogeny, to gain a better understanding of its morphology, diversity, and evolution. Microscopy reveals numerous new features, such as previously undetected bacterial surface symbionts, adhesion of post-rostral flagella, and a dis- tinctive frilled operculum. We also sequenced small subunit rRNA gene from manually isolated species, and carried out an environmental polymerase chain reaction (PCR) survey of Trichonympha diversity, all of which strongly supports monophyly of Trichonympha from Cryptocercus to the exclusion of those sampled from termites. Bayesian and distance methods support a relationship between Tricho- nympha species from termites and Cryptocercus, although likelihood analysis allies the latter with Eucomonymphidae. A monophyletic Trichonympha is of great interest because recent evidence supports a sister relationship between Cryptocercus and termites, suggesting Trichonympha predates the Cryptocercus-termite divergence.

E mail: [email protected] y [email protected] Varias especies de termitas constituyen plagas peligrosas en las regiones tropicales y subtropicales, ya que destruyen plantas leñosas de tejido suculento y madera. Estos insectos sociables viven en colonias, sus necesidades de alimentación pueden producir pérdidas económicas de consideración. Las plantas dañadas presentan en la lesión muy a menudo un color acanalado completamente o blanquecino rojizo o ambos y las ramas y tronco de los árboles están llenos de galerías, el ataque de estos insectos es favorecido por las sequías, la infección de hongos y la infestación por malas hierbas. El insecto que se reporta en las plantaciones de aguacatero de la Unidad Científica Tecnológica de Base de Alquízar perteneciente al Instituto de Investigaciones en Fruticultura Tropical situada al sur de la provincia de La Habana Cuba, es el Neotermes castaneus S., un comején grande de la familia Kalotermitidae del orden Isóptera, que perfora galerías en madera viva y hace daños importantes en árboles; anteriormente no existían reportes de este insecto en la zona occidental del país en plantaciones de aguacatero.

  • Trichonympha Burlesquei N. Sp. from Reticulitermes Virginicus and Evidence Against a Cosmopolitan Distribution of Trichonympha Agilis in Many Termite Hosts

James,1 Vera Tai,1 Rudolf H. Scheffrahn2 and Patrick J. Keeling1 Correspondence 1Canadian Institute for Advanced Research, Department of Botany, University of British Columbia, Patrick J. Keeling Vancouver, BC, Canada [email protected] 2University of Florida Research & Education Center, 3205 College Avenue, Davie, FL 33314, USA Historically, symbiotic protists in termite hindguts have been considered to be the same species if they are morphologically similar, even if they are found in different host species. For example, the first-described hindgut and hypermastigote parabasalian, Trichonympha agilis (Leidy, 1877) has since been documented in six species of Reticulitermes, in addition to the original discovery in Reticulitermes flavipes. Here we revisit one of these, Reticulitermes virginicus, using molecular phylogenetic analysis from single-cell isolates and show that the Trichonympha in R. virginicus is distinct from isolates in the type host and describe this novel species as Trichonympha burlesquei n. sp. We also show the molecular diversity of Trichonympha from the type host R. flavipes is greater than supposed, itself probably representing more than one species. All of this is consistent with recent data suggesting a major underestimate of termite symbiont diversity. Members of the genus Trichonympha are large and species of termite: in practice, similar-looking symbionts of structurally complex parabasalians exclusively found in the genus Trichonympha from different termite species are the symbiotic, lignocellulose-digesting hindgut community assumed to be the same species.

  • Molecular Characterization and Phylogeny of Four New Species of the Genus Trichonympha (Parabasalia, Trichonymphea) from Lower Termite Hindguts
    TAXONOMIC DESCRIPTION Boscaro et al., Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2017;67:3570–3575 DOI 10.1099/ijsem.0.002169 Molecular characterization and phylogeny of four new species of the genus Trichonympha (Parabasalia, Trichonymphea) from lower termite hindguts Vittorio Boscaro,1,* Erick R. James,1 Rebecca Fiorito,1 Elisabeth Hehenberger,1 Anna Karnkowska,1,2 Javier del Campo,1 Martin Kolisko,1,3 Nicholas A. T. Irwin,1 Varsha Mathur,1 Rudolf H. Scheffrahn4 and Patrick J. Keeling1 Abstract Members of the genus Trichonympha are among the most well-known, recognizable and widely distributed parabasalian symbionts of lower termites and the wood-eating cockroach species of the genus Cryptocercus. Nevertheless, the species diversity of this genus is largely unknown. Molecular data have shown that the superficial morphological similarities traditionally used to identify species are inadequate, and have challenged the view that the same species of the genus Trichonympha can occur in many different host species. Ambiguities in the literature, uncertainty in identification of both symbiont and host, and incomplete samplings are limiting our understanding of the systematics, ecology and evolution of this taxon. Here we describe four closely related novel species of the genus Trichonympha collected from South American and Australian lower termites: Trichonympha hueyi sp. nov. from Rugitermes laticollis, Trichonympha deweyi sp. nov. from Glyptotermes brevicornis, Trichonympha louiei sp. nov. from Calcaritermes temnocephalus and Trichonympha webbyae sp. nov. from Rugitermes bicolor. We provide molecular barcodes to identify both the symbionts and their hosts, and infer the phylogeny of the genus Trichonympha based on small subunit rRNA gene sequences. The analysis confirms the considerable divergence of symbionts of members of the genus Cryptocercus, and shows that the two clades of the genus Trichonympha harboured by termites reflect only in part the phylogeny of their hosts.

To address this question I have undertaken a molecular phylogenetic study of two candidate lineages to determine the first sexual line. In my thesis the hypermastigotes are confirmed as closely related to the trichomonads in the phylum Parabasalia and found to be more deeply divergent than a putative pyrsonymphid. This means that the Parabasalia are the first sexual lineage. From this I go on to infer that the ancestral sexual cycle included facultative sex.

  • That of a Typical Flagellate. the Flagella May Equally Well Be Called Cilia
    ZOOLOGY; KOFOID AND SWEZY 9 FLAGELLATE AFFINITIES OF TRICHONYMPHA BY CHARLES ATWOOD KOFOID AND OLIVE SWEZY ZOOLOGICAL LABORATORY, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Communicated by W. M. Wheeler, November 13, 1918 The methods of division among the Protozoa are of fundamental signifi- cance from an evolutionary standpoint. Unlike the Metazoa which present, as a whole, only minor variations in this process in the different taxonomic groups and in the many different types of cells in the body, the Protozoa have evolved many and widely diverse types of mitotic phenomena, which are Fharacteristic of the groups into which the phylum is divided. Some strik- ing confirmation of the value of this as a clue to relationships has been found in recent work along these lines. The genus Trichonympha has, since its discovery in 1877 by Leidy,1 been placed, on the one hand, in the ciliates and, on the other, in the flagellates, and of late in an intermediate position between these two classes, by different investigators. Certain points in its structure would seem to justify each of these assignments. A more critical study of its morphology and especially of its methods of division, however, definitely place it in the flagellates near the Polymastigina. At first glance Trichonympha would undoubtedly be called a ciliate. The body is covered for about two-thirds of its surface with a thick coating of cilia or flagella of varying lengths, which stream out behind the body. It also has a thick, highly differentiated ectoplasm which contains an alveolar layer as well as a complex system of myonemes.

VEENMAN & ZONEN - WAGENINGEN - 1930 STELLINGEN I Hot is niet noodig aan te nemcn, dat bij de phylogenetische ontwikke- ling der termietenstaten eerst do arbeiderskaste en later de soldatcnkaste is ontstaan. II De wijze, waarop het lezend publiek door MAETERLINCK in zijn boek „La Vie des Termites" over deze dieren wordt ingelicht, is af te keuren. Ill De beteekenis van het termietenleven als agrogeologische en oeko- logische factor in het tropisch landschap wordt gewoonlijk onderschat en dient nader te worden onderzocht. IV Diverse stoffen, welke in de bast van boomsoorten worden gevonden, hebben niet zulk een beperkte beteekenis als beletsel voor de aantasting door dieren, als HEIKERTINGER wil doen voorkomen.

    Terrestrial Arthropod Survey of Hālona Valley, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Naval Magazine Lualualei Annex, August 2020–November 2020 Neal L. Evenhuis, Keith T. Arakaki, Clyde T. Imada Hawaii Biological Survey Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum Honolulu, Hawai‘i 96817, USA Final Report prepared for the U.S. Navy Contribution No. 2021-003 to the Hawaii Biological Survey EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Bishop Museum was contracted by the U.S. Navy to conduct surveys of terrestrial arthropods in Hālona Valley, Naval Magazine Lualualei Annex, in order to assess the status of populations of three groups of insects, including species at risk in those groups: picture-winged Drosophila (Diptera; flies), Hylaeus spp. (Hymenoptera; bees), and Rhyncogonus welchii (Coleoptera; weevils). The first complete survey of Lualualei for terrestrial arthropods was made by Bishop Museum in 1997. Since then, the Bishop Museum has conducted surveys in Hālona Valley in 2015, 2016–2017, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. The current survey was conducted from August 2020 through November 2020, comprising a total of 12 trips; using yellow water pan traps, pitfall traps, hand collecting, aerial net collecting, observations, vegetation beating, and a Malaise trap. The area chosen for study was a Sapindus oahuensis grove on a southeastern slope of mid-Hālona Valley. The area had potential for all three groups of arthropods to be present, especially the Rhyncogonus weevil, which has previously been found in association with Sapindus trees. Trapped and collected insects were taken back to the Bishop Museum for sorting, identification, data entry, and storage and preservation. The results of the surveys proved negative for any of the target groups.
