Cochran et al.: The Horsehair Worm <i>Gordionus Violaceus</i> (Nematomorpha: Gord 2013 THE GREAT LAKES ENTOMOLOGIST 133 The Horsehair Worm Gordionus violaceus (Nematomorpha: Gordiida) in Minnesota Philip A. Cochran1, Jacob D. Zanon1, Ben Hanelt2 Abstract A sample of 21 Gordionus violaceus (Baird) (Nematomorpha: Gordioi- dea) was obtained from a puddle in Winona County, southeastern Minnesota. These are the first of this species reported from the upper Midwest. Sex ratio was not significantly different from 50:50 and females and males did not dif- fer significantly in length, but females were of significantly greater diameter than males. ____________________ Three species of horsehair worms (Nematomorpha: Gordioidea) have been reported previously from Minnesota: Gordius robustus Leidy, G. difficilis Montgomery, and Paragordius varius (Leidy) (Cochran et al. 1999, 2004; Martin and Cochran 2005; Cochran 2007). We report herein the collection of a fourth species, Gordionus violaceus (Baird, 1853). According to Schmidt-Rhaesa et al. (2003), G. violaceus has been collected not only in Europe, but also in the north- eastern (Massachusetts), central (Missouri and Nebraska), and southwestern (Arizona and California) United States, but it has not been reported from the upper Midwest. Horsehair worms were collected on 8 May 2008 in a puddle (~15 m long × 3-5 m wide × 5 cm deep) on a gravel road, Fairwater Drive, ~ 1 km west of Elba, Winona County, Minnesota. At this point the road skirted the North Branch Whitewater River and floodplain forest on one side and a recently cultivated field on the other side. The horsehair worms were identified as G. violaceus using light microscopy on the basis of male characteristics listed by Schmidt-Rhaesa et al. (2003), including a bi-lobed posterior, absence of a post-cloacal crescent, and presence of pre-cloacal rows of branched bristles that barely reach the tail lobes. In addition, the worms were light brown in body color with a white ante- rior tip and a dark collar, and both sexes possessed a single type of areole with numerous bristles in the interareolar spaces (Schmidt-Rhaesa et al. 2003). At least some G. violaceus collected previously have been obtained from temporary aquatic habitats (Smith 1991). The sample of G. violaceus included 12 females and nine males, a sex ratio not significantly different from 50:50 P( = 0.664, binomial test). Hanelt et al. (2005) reviewed sex ratios in horsehair worms and noted that sex ratio may vary during the course of the mating season. The presence of sperm plugs on nine females indicated that mating had occurred recently, although the worms when collected were scattered throughout the puddle and not tightly clumped. Preserved females ranged in length from 82 mm to 199 mm and males ranged in length from 152 mm to 207 mm. Both maximum lengths were greater than those reported by Smith (1991) for 10 North American specimens (182 mm for 1Biology Department, Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota, 700 Terrace Heights, Winona, Minnesota 55987. 2 Department of Biology, 167 Castetter Hall, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87131.

Mean (± SE) lengths of females (157.3 ± 8.4 mm) and males (175.8 ± 6.8 mm) were not significantly different (t = 1.631, df = 19, P = 0.119). However, mean diameter of females (0.54 ± 0.022 mm) was significantly greater than mean diameter of males (0.47 ± 0.015 mm) (t = 2.170, df = 19, P = 0.043). The diameters observed in this study were consistent with those previously reported (Smith 1991: all < 1 mm; Schmidt-Rhaesa et al. 2003: 0.4-0.7 mm). We are not aware of previous comparisons of length or diameter between females and males of this species.

CHAPTERS These include species-rich taxa such as Nematoda and Platyhelminthes, and as taxa with few or even only one species, such as Micrognathozoa (Limnognathia maerski) and Cycliophora (Symbion pandora). All Acanthocephala and subgroups of Platyhelminthes and Nematoda, are parasites that often exhibit complex life cycles. Most of the taxa described are marine, but some have also invaded freshwater or the terrestrial environment. “Aschelminthes” are not a natural group, instead, two taxa have been recognized that were earlier summarized under this name. Gnathifera include taxa with a conspicuous jaw apparatus such as Gnathostomulida, Micrognathozoa, and Rotifera. Although they do not possess a jaw apparatus, Acanthocephala also belong to Gnathifera due to their epidermal structure. ©Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS) BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE FUNDAMENTALS AND SYSTEMATICS – Vol.

Estimates sug- gest that only 18% of hairworm species have been described globally and biodiversity studies on this group have been hindered by unreliable ways of collecting adult free living worms over large geographical areas. However, recent work indicates that non-adult cyst stages of hairworms may be the most commonly encountered stages of gordiids in the envi- ronment, and can be used for discovering the hidden diversity of this group. Unfortunately, little information is available on the morphological characteristics of non-adult stages of hairworms. To address this problem, we describe and compare morphological characteristics of non-adult stages for nine species of African and North American gordiids from four gen- era (Chordodes, Gordius, Paragordius, and Neochordodes).

  • Metazoa Based on How Organized They Are
    BIOLOGY 18: Phyla of the “Changed Animals” Climbing the evolutionary lad- der from the protozoa we find higher levels of organization. Organisms are grouped into mesozoa and metazoa based on how organized they are. The simplest multicellular organisms (those having many cells) are the me- sozoa (“middle animals”). These or- ganisms are simple parasitic worms. Parasitic means that they live at the expense of some other organism. They often suck nutrient-rich fluids right out of the other organism, but they don’t usually kill the organism or they lose their source of food. The metazoa, meaning “changed animals” can be larger in size because they have different kinds of cells that work together to bring things in, take things out, protect the whole organ- ism, and perform other duties that enable them to live in a wider range of habitats. Because of the various cell types, organisms at this level be- gin taking on a variety of shapes that are not possible among colonies of identical cells. The metazoa include all other phyla of animals from the simple to the complex. A strawberry sponge of the phylum Porifera.

The genus Paragordius consists of 18 species, one of which was described from the Nearctic in 1851. More than 150 years later, we are describing a second Paragordius species from a unique habitat within the Nearctic; the Madrean Sky Island complex.
