Photo by Rosa Bonaventura. Printed on acid-free paper Springer is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) Preface Stem cell biology is a fast developing scientific discipline. Based on solid basic aspects, this emerging cell biology field is associated with highly popular applied features. Growing attention is devoted in recent years toward studies on stem cells biology in model organisms (mainly mammalians) including stem cells differen- tiation and gene expression in selective vertebrates. These studies, in addition to their inherent interest in the general biological phenomenon of stem cells, are moti- vated by the rationale that stem cells might serve in fighting against human diseases, or in regenerating damaged organs in humans. While the literature on stem cell from vertebrates is rich and expanding in an exponential rate, investigations on marine organisms’ stem cells are very limited and scarce. This is in spite of the results, pointing that marine organisms’ stem cells are important in various biolog- ical disciplines that involve understanding of mechanisms promoting cell growth and differentiation, in developmental biology aspects such as regeneration and bud- ding processes in marine invertebrates, body maintenance of marine organisms (including those that may live for decades), aging and senescence. It is unfortunate that the research on marine organisms is lagging behind the studies on vertebrates and some invertebrate model organism (like Drosophila melanogater and Caenorhabditis elegans), in spite the discoveries that very potent stem cells exist, even in the most primitive multicellular marine organisms (like sponges and cnidarians). Recent studies further revealed similarities between the biological properties of stem cells in marine organisms and the vertebrates, and confirmed the existence of unique properties associated with stem cells from marine organisms that lead to phenomena such as somatic and germ cell parasitism, or whole body regeneration. These results also showed that marine invertebrates’ stem cells are characterized by an efficient motility within an organism and between organisms, that they have the ability to parasitize effectively host organisms, in the same species or in other species, with stemness and unlimited replication charac- terization. Marine invertebrate stem cells have the ability to blend with other cell lineages, blurring the line between distinct somatic and germ cell lineages, co-opting and managing somatic cells to collaborate in parasitic agenda and in many cases (like sponges and cnidarians) they lack of a distinct niche where they reside. The book is the outcome of discussions raised during and original presentations at the Exploratory Workshop on Stem Cells in Marine Organisms held in Palermo v vi Preface (Italy), in November 2006 (http://www.ibim.cnr.it/stemcell/index.htm), under the umbrella of the NoE Marine Genomics Europe and hosted by the CNR Institute of Biomedicine and Molecular Immunology “Alberto Monroy”. In addition, solicited contributions were brought together to gather recent knowledge in the identifica- tion and functional characterization of stem cells in marine organisms and genes expressed in growing and differentiating cells of these organisms. The book holds 14 chapters on marine stem cells, including theoretical chapters, overview essays and specific research outcomes. In addition to the aim in summarizing much of the knowledge on marine invertebrates’ stem cells biology, another important aim is to reach a larger scientific community in order to encourage the study on marine invertebrate stem cells, theoretically, practically and through innovative technology. This might lead to biotechnologically relevant discoveries or breakthrough in the mainstream research on stem cell biology. Last we would like to thank all the contributors to this book as we are confident that the high scientific value of their reviews on past and current findings will serve as a forum of ideas for the exploitation of marine invertebrate stem cells biology and will promote the development of studies in the new exciting field. In honor of the bicentenary of Charles Darwin’s birth (February 12th, 1809), we would like to close this preface by the recommendation to look at the sea as a source of knowledge and life experience. Darwin used to say “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change”. Thus, very much can be learnt from marine invertebrates, have been surviving on Earth for so many geological periods, posing major challenges to scientists that try to reveal their most intimate secretes. Special warm thanks go Francesca Zito for her generous assistance and friendly collaboration in handling all the matters related to the editorial work.

  • Rhizocephala
    RHIZOCEPHALA BY GEOFFREY SMITH, B. A. OXFORD. WITH 24 TEXTFIGURES AND 8 PLATES. HERAUSGEGEBEN VON DER ZOOLOGISCHEN STATION ZU NEAPEL. BERLIN VERLAG VON R. FRIEDLANDER & SOHN 1906. Ladenpreis 40 Mark. Preface. The group of parasitic Cirripedes monographed in this book has engaged the attention of many celebrated naturalists since the time of Cavolini, and in com- paratively recent years has formed the subject of a keenly contested controversy: it may therefore seem a bold step for an unknown writer to enter the field with a monograph which to many will seem to affect the pretension without attaining the reality of completeness. But I cannot disguise from myself, and I have neither the wish nor the power to disguise from other people, the many respects in which my work not only falls short of completeness but has been entirely baffled by difficulties of observation and reasoning; and perhaps the best plea I can put forward for avoiding a too harsh criticism is that my very lack of completeness and finality is in part due to the many curious facts which my work has partially brought to light but which will require future independent investigations to fully clear up. Not to mention a number of observers who have laid the basis of our knowledge of the Rkizocephala, we owe most perhaps to the two contemporary French naturalists, Professors Delage and Giard, to the former for. his work on the anatomy and life-history of Sacculina carcini, and to the latter for his inter- esting observations on the effect of the parasites on their hosts.

  • Arthropoda, Cirripedia: the Barnacles Andrew J
    Arthropoda, Cirripedia: The Barnacles Andrew J. Arnsberg The Cirripedia are the familiar stalked and acorn barnacles found on hard surfaces in the marine environment. Adults of these specialized crustaceans are sessile. They are usually found in dense aggregations among conspecifics and other fouling organisms. For the most part, sexually mature Cirripedia are hermaphroditic. Cross-fertilization is the dominant method of reproduction. Embryos are held in ovisacs within the mantle cavity (Strathmann, 1987).Breeding season varies with species as well as with local conditions (e.g., water temperature or food availability). The completion of embryonic development culminates in the hatching of hundreds to tens of thousands of nauplii. There are approximately 29 species of intertidal and shallow subtidal barnacles found in the Pacific Northwest, of which 12 have descriptions of the larval stages (Table 1). Most of the species without larval descriptions (11 species) are parasitic barnacles, order Rhizocephala; a brief general review of this group is provided at the end of the chapter. Development and Morphology The pelagic phase of the barnacle life cycle consists of two larval forms. The first form, the nauplius, undergoes a series of molts producing four to six planktotrophic or lecithotrophic naupliar stages (Strathmann, 1987). Each naupliar stage is successively larger in size and its appendages more setose than the previous.

    Checklist of the Barnacles of British Columbia (Updated November 2016) by Aaron Baldwin E-mail [email protected] The following list is compiled from several sources but is based upon Ira Cornwall's excellent guide, The Barnacles of British Columbia (1969). The species composition of Cornwall's acorn and gooseneck barnacles remains the same; I updated the taxonomy to reflect a more current understanding of this group. I also added the rhizocephalan barnacles to the list. The latter group remains poorly understood and awaits further study. Rhizocephalans are internal parasites of decapod crustaceans that produce external sacs which bear their larvae. It is likely that genetic research will reveal cryptic species and increase the diversity of this fascinating group. The taxonomy follows Martin and Davis (2001) and the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (www.itis.gov). ITIS appears to be consistent with the most recent taxonomic papers so I included some nomenclature changes without independent verification in those cases where I did not have access to the primary literature. I want to thank Melissa Frey of the Royal BC Museum for submitting some additional records not on an earlier version of this list.

  • Brachyura: the True Crahs John S
    Chapter 25 Brachyura: The True Crahs John S. Garth and Donald P. Abbott The Brachyura represent the highest development attained by ar­ ticulated animals in the sea. Their hormonally controlled molting cycle, autotomy reflex, and ability to regenerate lost limbs excite the physiologist; their highly organized nervous systems, complex organs of sight and sound production, and incipient social organi­ zation beguile the animal behaviorist as well. Their commensal and mutualistic relationships with other invertebrates intrigue the ma­ rine ecologist, and their role as hosts to invading arthropods en­ gages the parasitologist's attention. Crabs first appear in the fossil record early in the Jurassic period of the Mesozoic, nearly 200 million years ago. As a group they show a continuation of the trend toward shortening the body and reducing the abdomen expressed in various anomuran groups (Chapter 24). The crab cephalothorax, formed by fusion of head and thorax and covered by the carapace, is short and broad, and forms virtually the whole body. The crab abdomen (corresponding to what gourmets call the "tail" of a lobster) is reduced to a thin, flat plate, tucked forward out of sight below the cephalothorax, hence the name "Brachyura," or "short-tailed" crabs. The original metamerism, or serial segmentation, of the cepha­ lothorax is largely obscured except as represented by the appen­ dages.
