    HOW CAN I MATE WITHOUT AN APPENDIX MASCULINA? THE CASE OF SPHAEROMA TEREBRANS BATE, 1866 (ISOPODA, SPHAEROMATIDAE) BY GIUSEPPE MESSANA1) CNR-Istituto per lo Studio degli Ecosistemi, Via Madonna del Piano, I-50019 Sesto Fiorentino, Firenze, Italy ABSTRACT Several hours mating behaviour of the woodborer isopod, Sphaeroma terebrans were recorded using a video camera. S. terebrans, the only species in the genus to lack an appendix masculina, has a peculiar way of mating that is completely different from that in other Isopoda. Instead of introducing the sperm into the genital opening of the female, the male releases it into the water current created by the beating of the female pleopods. The origin of this adaptation is discussed. RIASSUNTO Il comportamento sessuale dell’isopode Sphaeroma terebrans, è stato filmato per diverse ore, attraverso una telecamera. S. terebrans, l’unica specie del genere ad essere sprovvista di una appendix masculina, ha un modo di accoppiarsi del tutto particolare che è completamente differente da quello degli altri isopodi. Il maschio invece di introdurre lo sperma nella apertura genitale femminile, lo rilascia nella corrente d’acqua creata dal battito dei pleopodi. L’origine di questo adattamento viene discussa. INTRODUCTION Isopods colonize almost every environment on earth, from deep seas to desert mountains. Their long evolutionary history, the first fossil dating from the Car- boniferous (Schram, 1986), has led to great morphological variety. Despite such a wide diversity of morphotypes, the species share a common character: a copula- tory organ, constituted by a modified endopod of the male pleopod II (Brusca & Wilson, 1991). The appendix masculina (= male stylet) is used to transfer sperm to the female during mating.

    J. Black Sea/Mediterranean Environment Vol. 15: 47- 60 (2009) Freshwater and brackish water Malacostraca (Crustacea-Arthropoda) fauna of Sinop and Samsun and their ecology Sinop ve Samsun illeri tatlısu ve acısu Malacostraca (Crustacea-Arthropoda) faunası ve ekolojileri Mehmet Akbulut1*, M. Ruşen Ustaoğlu2, Ekrem Şanver Çelik1 1 Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Fisheries Faculty, Çanakkale-Turkey 2 Ege University, Fisheries Faculty, Izmir-Turkey Abstract Malacostraca fauna collected from freshwater and brackishwater in Sinop and Samsun were studied from 181 stations between February 1999 and September 2000. 19 species and 4 subspecies belonging to 15 genuses were found in 134 stations. In total, 23 taxon were found: 11 Amphipoda, 6 Decapoda, 4 Isopoda, and 2 Mysidacea. Limnomysis benedeni is the first time in Turkish Mysidacea fauna. In this work at the first time recorded group are Gammarus pulex pulex, Gammarus aequicauda, Gammarus uludagi, Gammarus komareki, Gammarus longipedis, Gammarus balcanicus, Echinogammarus ischnus, Orchestia stephenseni Paramysis kosswigi, Idotea baltica basteri, Idotea hectica, Sphaeroma serratum, Palaemon adspersus, Crangon crangon, Potamon ibericum tauricum and Carcinus aestuarii in the studied area. Potamon ibericum tauricum is the most encountered and widespread species. Key words: Freshwater, brackish water, Malacostraca, Sinop, Samsun, Turkey Introduction The Malacostraca is the largest subgroup of crustaceans and includes the decapods such as crabs, mole crabs, lobsters, true shrimps and the stomatopods or mantis shrimps. There are more than 22,000 taxa in this group representing two third of all crustacean species and contains all the larger forms. *Corresponding author: [email protected] 47 Malacostracans play an important role in aquatic ecosystems and therefore their conservation is important.

  • Juvenile Sphaeroma Quadridentatum Invading Female-Oœspring Groups of Sphaeroma Terebrans
    Journal of Natural History, 2000, 34, 737–745 Juvenile Sphaeroma quadridentatum invading female-oŒspring groups of Sphaeroma terebrans MARTIN THIEL1 Smithsonian Marine Station, 5612 Old Dixie Highway, Fort Pierce, Fla 34946, USA (Accepted: 6 April 1999) Female isopods Sphaeroma terebrans Bate 1866 are known to host their oŒspring in family burrows in aerial roots of the red mangrove Rhizophora mangle. During a study on the reproductive biology of S. terebrans in the Indian River Lagoon, Florida, USA, juvenile S. quadridentatum were found in family burrows of S. terebrans. Between September 1997 and August 1998, each month at least one female S. terebrans was found with juvenile S. quadridentatum in its burrow. The percentage of S. terebrans family burrows that contained juvenile S. quadridenta- tum was high during fall 1997, decreased during the winter, and reached high values again in late spring/early summer 1998, corresponding with the percentage of parental female S. terebrans (i.e. hosting their own juveniles). Most juvenile S. quadridentatum were found with parental female S. terebrans, but a few were also found with reproductive females that were not hosting their own oŒspring. Non-reproductive S. terebrans (single males, subadults, non-reproductivefemales) were never found with S. quadridentatum in their burrows. The numbers of S. quadridentatum found in burrows of S. terebrans ranged between one and eight individuals per burrow. No signi® cant correlation between the number of juvenile S. quadridentatum and the numbers of juvenile S. terebrans in a family burrow existed. However, burrows with high numbers of juvenile S. quadridentatum often contained relatively few juvenile S.

  • Early Ontogeny of Jurassic Bakevelliids and Their Bearing on Bivalve Evolution
    Early ontogeny of Jurassic bakevelliids and their bearing on bivalve evolution NIKOLAUS MALCHUS Malchus, N. 2004. Early ontogeny of Jurassic bakevelliids and their bearing on bivalve evolution. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 49 (1): 85–110. Larval and earliest postlarval shells of Jurassic Bakevelliidae are described for the first time and some complementary data are given concerning larval shells of oysters and pinnids. Two new larval shell characters, a posterodorsal outlet and shell septum are described. The outlet is homologous to the posterodorsal notch of oysters and posterodorsal ridge of arcoids. It probably reflects the presence of the soft anatomical character post−anal tuft, which, among Pteriomorphia, was only known from oysters. A shell septum was so far only known from Cassianellidae, Lithiotidae, and the bakevelliid Kobayashites. A review of early ontogenetic shell characters strongly suggests a basal dichotomy within the Pterio− morphia separating taxa with opisthogyrate larval shells, such as most (or all?) Praecardioida, Pinnoida, Pterioida (Bakevelliidae, Cassianellidae, all living Pterioidea), and Ostreoida from all other groups. The Pinnidae appear to be closely related to the Pterioida, and the Bakevelliidae belong to the stem line of the Cassianellidae, Lithiotidae, Pterioidea, and Ostreoidea. The latter two superfamilies comprise a well constrained clade. These interpretations are con− sistent with recent phylogenetic hypotheses based on palaeontological and genetic (18S and 28S mtDNA) data. A more detailed phylogeny is hampered by the fact that many larval shell characters are rather ancient plesiomorphies. Key words: Bivalvia, Pteriomorphia, Bakevelliidae, larval shell, ontogeny, phylogeny.

Published online at www.senckenberg.de/arthropod-systematics on 30.iv.2018. Editors in charge: Stefan Richter & Klaus-Dieter Klass Abstract. The Sphaeromatidae has 100 genera and close to 700 species with a worldwide distribution. Most are abundant primarily in shallow (< 200 m) marine communities, but extend to 1.400 m, and are occasionally present in permanent freshwater habitats. They play an important role as prey for epibenthic fishes and are commensals and scavengers. Sphaeromatids’ impressive exploitation of diverse habitats, in combination with diversity in female life history strategies and elaborate male combat structures, has resulted in extraordinary levels of homoplasy.

    Micron 40 (2009) 669–690 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Micron journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/micron Review Studies on molluscan shells: Contributions from microscopic and analytical methods Silvia Maria de Paula, Marina Silveira * Instituto de Fı´sica, Universidade de Sa˜o Paulo, 05508-090 Sa˜o Paulo, SP, Brazil ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Article history: Molluscan shells have always attracted the interest of researchers, from biologists to physicists, from Received 25 April 2007 paleontologists to materials scientists. Much information is available at present, on the elaborate Received in revised form 7 May 2009 architecture of the shell, regarding the various Mollusc classes. The crystallographic characterization of Accepted 10 May 2009 the different shell layers, as well as their physical and chemical properties have been the subject of several investigations. In addition, many researches have addressed the characterization of the biological Keywords: component of the shell and the role it plays in the hard exoskeleton assembly, that is, the Mollusca biomineralization process. All these topics have seen great advances in the last two or three decades, Shell microstructures expanding our knowledge on the shell properties, in terms of structure, functions and composition. This Electron microscopy Infrared spectroscopy involved the use of a range of specialized and modern techniques, integrating microscopic methods with X-ray diffraction biochemistry, molecular biology procedures and spectroscopy. However, the factors governing synthesis Electron diffraction of a specific crystalline carbonate phase in any particular layer of the shell and the interplay between organic and inorganic components during the biomineral assembly are still not widely known. This present survey deals with microstructural aspects of molluscan shells, as disclosed through use of scanning electron microscopy and related analytical methods (microanalysis, X-ray diffraction, electron diffraction and infrared spectroscopy).

  • High Level of Genetic Differentiation in the Marine Isopod Sphaeroma Terebrans (Crustacea Isopoda Sphaeromatidae) As Inferred by Mitochondrial DNA Analysis
    Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology 315 (2005) 225–234 www.elsevier.com/locate/jembe High level of genetic differentiation in the marine isopod Sphaeroma terebrans (Crustacea Isopoda Sphaeromatidae) as inferred by mitochondrial DNA analysis Mariella Baratti*, Emanuele Goti, Giuseppe Messana Istituto per lo Studio degli Ecosistemi (ISE)-CNR, Via Madonna del Piano 50019, Sesto Fiorentino Florence, Italy Received 11 May 2004; received in revised form 3 September 2004; accepted 29 September 2004 Abstract Sphaeroma terebrans Bate 1866 is a marine isopod belonging to the large family Sphaeromatidae, which normally colonises the aerial roots of the mangrove genus Rhizophora in tropical and subtropical areas. S. terebrans is part of a group of species whose complete life cycle occurs within the same mangrove wood. In this paper, we provide clear evidence of significant genetic differentiation among geographic populations of the taxon S. terebrans. The consistently low internal variation and the large interpopulation distances indicate that almost all the mitochondrial variation (cytochrome oxidase I) in S. terebrans is apportioned among populations rather than within them. The mean haplotype diversity (h) is 0.71%, and the mean nucleotide diversity (p) is 0.34%. The Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) reveals a complex pattern: three principal haplotype groups corresponding to the geographic locations investigated are distributed in a network. This suggests an ancient evolutionary history and very restricted gene flow between populations. The large genetic distances between the populations of S. terebrans could suggest that this taxon is not a single species but a species complex whose taxonomic status must be revaluated.
