Aiptasia Mutabilis (Gravenhorst, 1831) Aiptasia mutabilis (Gravenhorst, 1831) AphiaID: 100859 TRUMPET ANEMONE © Vasco Ferreira © Vasco Ferreira © Vasco Ferreira Características identificativas Lightly adherent base, usually small and rarely much wider than column. The junction between basal disc and column (the limbus) is not sharply defined. Numerous minute, adhesive spots (or rugae) present on lower half of column by which anemone may attach in preference to base. Tiny perforations (cinclides) fairly prominent when column well extended. Thread-like acontia emitted reluctantly but often visible through translucent column wall. 1 Sinónimos Actinea biserialis Actinia biserialis Forbes, 1840 Actinia mutabilis Gravenhorst, 1831 Aiptasia amacha Gosse, 1858 Aiptasia carnea Andrès, 1881 Aiptasia mutabilis var. bicolor Andr.

Introduction: The sea anemones diversity is still poorly studied in Isla del Coco National Park, Costa Rica. Objective: To report for the first time the presence of the sea anemone Exaiptasia diaphana. Methods: Some rhodoliths were examined in situ in Punta Ulloa at 14 m depth, by SCUBA during the expedition UCR- UNA-COCO-I to Isla del Coco National Park on 24th April 2010. Living anemones settled on rhodoliths were photographed and its external morphological features and measures were recorded in situ. Results: Several indi- viduals of E. diaphana were observed on rodoliths and we repeatedly observed several small individuals of this sea anemone surrounding the largest individual in an area (presumably the founder sea anemone) on rhodoliths from Punta Ulloa.

  • A Diverse Host Thrombospondin-Type-1
    RESEARCH ARTICLE A diverse host thrombospondin-type-1 repeat protein repertoire promotes symbiont colonization during establishment of cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis Emilie-Fleur Neubauer1, Angela Z Poole2,3, Philipp Neubauer4, Olivier Detournay5, Kenneth Tan3, Simon K Davy1*, Virginia M Weis3* 1School of Biological Sciences, Victoria University of Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand; 2Department of Biology, Western Oregon University, Monmouth, United States; 3Department of Integrative Biology, Oregon State University, Corvallis, United States; 4Dragonfly Data Science, Wellington, New Zealand; 5Planktovie sas, Allauch, France Abstract The mutualistic endosymbiosis between cnidarians and dinoflagellates is mediated by complex inter-partner signaling events, where the host cnidarian innate immune system plays a crucial role in recognition and regulation of symbionts. To date, little is known about the diversity of thrombospondin-type-1 repeat (TSR) domain proteins in basal metazoans or their potential role in regulation of cnidarian-dinoflagellate mutualisms. We reveal a large and diverse repertoire of TSR proteins in seven anthozoan species, and show that in the model sea anemone Aiptasia pallida the TSR domain promotes colonization of the host by the symbiotic dinoflagellate Symbiodinium minutum. Blocking TSR domains led to decreased colonization success, while adding exogenous *For correspondence: Simon. TSRs resulted in a ‘super colonization’.

    Atti Soc. it. Sci. nat. Museo civ. Stor. nat. Milano, 135/1994 (II): 401-412, Giugno 1996 Gian Bruno Grippa (*) & Cedric d'Udekem d'Acoz (**) The genus Periclimenes Costa, 1844 in the Mediterranean Sea and the Northeastern Atlantic Ocean: review of the species and description of Periclimenes sagittifer aegylios subsp. nov. (Crustacea, Decapoda, Caridea, Pontoniinae) Abstract - The shrimps of the genus Periclimenes in the Northeastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean present a complex and little known systematic . In the present paper, several problems are solved, a new subspecies is described and a new identification key is proposed. Furthermore the systematic value of live colour patterns in the taxa examined is briefly di- scussed. Riassunto - II genere Periclimenes Costa, 1844 nel mar Mediterraneo e nell'Atlantico Nordorientale: revisione delle specie e descrizione di Periclimenes sagittifer aegylios subsp. nov. (Crustacea, Decapoda, Caridea, Pontoniinae). II genere Periclimenes presenta una sistematica complessa e poco conosciuta. Ricerche effettuate dagli autori hanno messo in luce la confusione dovuta a descrizioni carenti dei tipi effettuate talvolta su esemplari singoli e incompleti. Viene percio proposta una chiave siste- matica e viene descritta una nuova subspecie. Inoltre si accenna al valore sistematico delle caratteristiche cromatiche nei taxa esaminati. Key words: Decapoda, Periclimenes, Mediterranean sea. Systematic. Introduction In a recent faunistical note on the decapod crustaceans of the Toscan archipelago (Grippa, 1991), the first named author recorded some shrimps of the genus Periclimenes Costa, 1844. Using the well known monograph of Zariquiey Alvarez (1968), he identified shallow-water specimens found on the sea anemone Anemonia viridis (Forskal, 1775) as P. amethysteus (Risso, 1827) and some others, living deeper and associated with bryozoans as P.
