  • Zooplankton Species", Takes You Directly to the Species Cards, Which Hypercard Taxonomy Contain the Pictures and Description of Each Species in the Key
    Fisken Hav. , 198 9 ( 1) : 1- 13 + App . Creating and Using Taxonomic Keys with HyperCard Kenneth W. Estep Institute of Marine Research, Postbox 1870,5024 Bergen, Norway The preparation and use of taxonomic keys is an essential part of the work of many biologists. However, the difficulty of collecting taxonomic information that is often dispersed in many hard-to-use and difficult-to-find references discourages the common use of taxonomy in the work of many ecologists. This manuscript describes the computer program Linnaeus, which was designed to solve this problem. Linnaeus was developed at the Institute of Marine Research in Bergen using the Macintosh computer and will include much more complicated examples of HyperCard l l programming. l To use the example key, copy the files from the Linnaeus disk to your i i hard-disk drive and click on the file "Read Me First."

  • Ctenophore Relationships and Their Placement As the Sister Group to All Other Animals
    ARTICLES DOI: 10.1038/s41559-017-0331-3 Ctenophore relationships and their placement as the sister group to all other animals Nathan V. Whelan 1,2*, Kevin M. Kocot3, Tatiana P. Moroz4, Krishanu Mukherjee4, Peter Williams4, Gustav Paulay5, Leonid L. Moroz 4,6* and Kenneth M. Halanych 1* Ctenophora, comprising approximately 200 described species, is an important lineage for understanding metazoan evolution and is of great ecological and economic importance. Ctenophore diversity includes species with unique colloblasts used for prey capture, smooth and striated muscles, benthic and pelagic lifestyles, and locomotion with ciliated paddles or muscular propul- sion. However, the ancestral states of traits are debated and relationships among many lineages are unresolved. Here, using 27 newly sequenced ctenophore transcriptomes, publicly available data and methods to control systematic error, we establish the placement of Ctenophora as the sister group to all other animals and refine the phylogenetic relationships within ctenophores. Molecular clock analyses suggest modern ctenophore diversity originated approximately 350 million years ago ± 88 million years, conflicting with previous hypotheses, which suggest it originated approximately 65 million years ago. We recover Euplokamis dunlapae—a species with striated muscles—as the sister lineage to other sampled ctenophores. Ancestral state reconstruction shows that the most recent common ancestor of extant ctenophores was pelagic, possessed tentacles, was bio- luminescent and did not have separate sexes. Our results imply at least two transitions from a pelagic to benthic lifestyle within Ctenophora, suggesting that such transitions were more common in animal diversification than previously thought. tenophores, or comb jellies, have successfully colonized from species across most of the known phylogenetic diversity of nearly every marine environment and can be key species in Ctenophora.

Over the last decades, this species has expanded its range of distribution, colonizing marine and transitional environments in Europe. In October 2015, during a fishing survey concerning the European eel Anguilla anguilla in Sardinia (western Mediterranean), a massive bloom of this species was observed in the eutrophic S’Ena Arrubia Lagoon for the first time. In November 2015, two sampling tows of an Apstein net were conducted in the lagoon and the abundance of ctenophores was 2.83 ind. m-3. All collected specimens were adults, measuring 18 - 62 mm total length. In addition, a fyke net was deployed for 12h in order to roughly estimate the impact of the ctenophores on the fishing activity.

More emphasis has been placed on counts of free-living species than on parasitic species. We rectify this by How Many Species Are There on Earth? quantifying the numbers and proportion of parasitic species. We Beginning in 1988, Robert May (2, 3, 9) cogently argued that our estimate that there are between 75,000 and 300,000 helminth inability to estimate the diversity of species on Earth provided a species parasitizing the vertebrates. We have no credible way of sad and somewhat self-centered testimony to human inquisitive- estimating how many parasitic protozoa, fungi, bacteria, and ness.

ABYSSICOLA PATTERNS OF PREDATION 2 Abstract Ctenophores play an important role in many marine ecosystems worldwide and affect multiple trophic levels. They consume large amounts of plankton while, in turn, are also consumed by fish. Beroe abyssicola is a carnivorous ctenophore that preys upon Bolinopsis infundibulum, a planktivorous carnivore. While many studies exist on the feeding behaviors of other ctenophore genera, research on the genus Beroe is lacking. This study aimed to discern the patterns of predatory behavior of B. abyssicola and found that size was a significant factor in feeding behavior. We also tested whether seawater conditioned with the chemical signature of B. infundibulum would cause a change in the behavior of B. abyssicola but found no significant effect. Lastly, we tested whether B. abyssicola would consume a species of Pleurobrachia but found no evidence for this. B. ABYSSICOLA PATTERNS OF PREDATION 3 Introduction Pelagic and nearshore trophic systems are highly variable both temporally and spatially. Within these environments, certain groups of organisms create limits on population size which, left unchecked, could shift the ecological balance (Kozloff 1990). One such animal is Bolinopsis infundibulum, a planktivorous ctenophore. This species goes through annual cycles of population growth followed by rapid decline, consuming large amounts of copepods in the interim (Båmstedt & Martinussen 2015).
