The majority of macroecological studies to date have been centred on the terrestrial environment where large databases on species ranges, body size and associated environmental variables are readily available. Due to the inaccessibility of the deep sea, coupled with its relatively recent exploration, deep sea macroecology is the least represented within marine macroecology as a whole. Jellyfish, a significant constituent of the zooplankton, form important and often conspicuous components of marine ecosystems. Jellyfish studies covering large spatial scales are mostly focused on the shallow-water, bloom-forming species that have more apparent anthropogenic interactions, such as Aurelia aurita. The structural simplicity of jellyfish permits the rapid adaptation to changing environments. Plasticity in traits such as feeding, physiology, reproductive output, somatic growth and size are common; and as such allow populations to persist. The coronate medusae Periphylla periphylla Péron and Lesueur, 1810 and Atolla spp. are the most recognised deep-sea jellyfish, and both have cosmopolitan distributions. Little remains known about these genera beyond the early descriptions of the species, particularly relating to their macroecology and the expression of plastic traits according to varying environments. This study presents a large volume of morphological data using museum collections genera in order to better describe morphological variation on a global scale and to examine what factors might drive such variation. P. periphylla and Atolla spp. exhibit cosmopolitan distributions across the global dataset, found at depths ranging from 0 to 5486 m and 4900 m respectively. Across the global oceanic dataset and case study areas of the Iberian Basin and Porcupine Abyssal Plain, P. periphylla demonstrate no morphological plasticity across temporal or spatial scales, with variation in tentacle number observed within a number of Atolla species, A. gigantea, A. parva, A. vanhoffeni and A. russelli. This may be indicative of the genetic distance between the two species within Coronatae. The first comprehensive comparison between fjord and oceanic P. periphylla populations is described. Contrasting patterns were observed between fjord and oceanic environments, with larger males than females within the fjord population, and larger females than males within the oceanic population. Larger fjord specimens were observed across all sample seasons. The oceanic population provides evidence of the prioritisation of reproductive output within the more variable oceanic environments. Novel methods to further the understanding of volumes of statoliths within medusae statocysts were explored, with specimens of P. periphylla of varying sizes demonstrating a range of statolith numbers, sizes and crystalline morphologies. Statoliths form part of the sensory organs and represent the only hard structures within medusae. Both the number and size of statoliths is proposed to be indicative of the individual medusa age. This thesis shows that macroecological scales are important to consider when comparing globally-distributed species, and highlights the potential of using historical collections to identify ecological patterns. By combining the morphological data with molecular analyses, it would be possible to further the understanding of ecological divergence and speciation in deep sea coronates. Rearing specimens of a known age would also further the understanding of sclerochronological processes and help to determine age in medusae which are believed to be long-lived.

Use of morphometric measurements is considered important in coronate systematics, but key features also include the unique whorl of internal cusps and the shape of these cusps. All previous records of N. simplex must be re-eval- uated, taking into consideration the morphology of these internal cusps. Key words: Stephanoscyphus, Nausithoe, polyp, systematics, taxonomy, Stephanoscyphistoma Introduction The order Coronatae Vanhöffen, 1892 is considered the basal group of the class Scyphozoa Goette, 1887 based on both older (Thiel 1966; Uchida 1969; Werner 1973) and more recent studies (Marques & Collins 2004; Collins et al. 2006; Bayha et al. 2010). About 60 species are currently known in the group (Morandini & Jarms in prep.). Sev- eral authors (Werner 1973; Jarms 1990; Silveira & Morandini 1997) have stated that life cycle studies are essential in resolving systematics of the order, especially in metagenetic species.

  • Sexual Reproduction of Nausithoe Aurea (Scyphozoa, Coronatae)
    SCI. MAR., 65 (2): 139-149 SCIENTIA MARINA 2001 Sexual reproduction of Nausithoe aurea (Scyphozoa, Coronatae). Gametogenesis, egg release, embryonic development, and gastrulation* ANDRÉ C. MORANDINI and FÁBIO L. DA SILVEIRA Departamento de Zoologia, Instituto de Biociências, Universidade de São Paulo, Caixa Postal 11461, 05422-970 São Paulo, SP, Brazil. E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] SUMMARY: The structure of the ovaries and testes of Nausithoe aurea, reared in the laboratory, is described to update the knowledge of coronate scyphomedusae gametogenesis and early development. The testis is similar to those of other scypho- zoans. The organization of the ovary agrees with the description for other coronates, with free oocytes in the mesoglea. The oocytes develop in a limited region of the gastrodermis, and a maturation gradient is observed from this point on. Egg release, embryonic development, and gastrulation mode of Nausithoe aurea are also described. Egg production was contin- uous for 55 days, and the output of released eggs oscillated without observed cue. Cleavage was holoblastic and adequal, but after the 8-cell stage, the cleavage became pseudospiral. Gastrulation occurred through multipolar ingression and began 24 hours after fertilization. Key words: Scyphozoa, Coronatae, Nausithoe, sexual reproduction, gametogenesis, embryonic development, gastrulation.

  • Reproduction of Cnidaria1
    Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen 1735 REVIEW/SYNTHÈSE Reproduction of Cnidaria1 Daphne Gail Fautin Abstract: Empirical and experimental data on cnidarian reproduction show it to be more variable than had been thought, and many patterns that had previously been deduced hold up poorly or not at all in light of additional data. The border between sexual and asexual reproduction appears to be faint. This may be due to analytical tools being in- sufficiently powerful to distinguish between the two, but it may be that a distinction between sexual and asexual repro- duction is not very important biologically to cnidarians. Given the variety of modes by which it is now evident that asexual reproduction occurs, its ecological and evolutionary implications have probably been underestimated. Appropri- ate analytical frameworks and strategies must be developed for these morphologically simple animals, in which sexual reproduction may not be paramount, that during one lifetime may pass though two or more phases differing radically in morphology and ecology, that may hybridize, that are potentially extremely long-lived, and that may transmit through both sexual and asexual reproduction mutations arising in somatic tissue. In cnidarians, perhaps more than in any other phylum, reproductive attributes have been used to define taxa, but they do so at a variety of levels and not necessarily in the way they have conventionally been considered. At the species level, in Scleractinia, in which these features have been most studied, taxa defined on the basis of morphology, sexual reproduction, and molecular charac- ters may not coincide; there are insufficient data to determine if this is true throughout the phylum.

A ordem Coronatae é considerada o grupo basal de Scyphozoa, contendo aproximadamente 60 espécies. Observar do ciclo de vida é fundamental para desvendar a sistemática e a taxonomia da ordem. Entretanto, estudos recentes relacionados apenas ao estágio de pólipo foram capazes de promover progresso usando, exclusivamente, caracteres morfológicos do tubo peridérmico. A falta de conhecimento sobre o número real de espécies de coronados ocorrentes no Brasil e sua distribuição ao longo da fauna costeira é um fator que limita abordagens mais avançadas para interpretar a biogeografia desses animais. Nosso objetivo foi identificar e descrever esses pólipos do Norte, Sudeste e Sul do Brasil, levando em consideração a distribuição batimétrica e longitudinal das espécies. As medidas do tubo peridérmico obtidas por meio de microscopia de luz e a organização e morfologia dos espinhos internos, observadas por meio de microscopia eletrônica de varredura, permitiram o reconhecimento de 3 morfotipos, identificados apenas ao nível de gênero: dois morfotipos de Nausithoe (oito e 16 espinhos) e um de Atorella. Palavras-chave: Atorella, Cifístoma, Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura (MEV), Nausithoe, Pólipo. ABSTRACT Members of the order Coronatae are considered the basal group of Scyphozoa, containing approximately 60 species.

Jinho Chae, Yoseph Seo, Won Bae Yu, Won Duk Yoon, Hye Eun Lee, Soo-Jung Chang, and Jang-Seu Ki (2018) The Scyphomedusae genus Chrysaora consists of highly diversified jellyfishes. Although morphological systematics of the genus has been documented over the past century, characterization of molecular taxonomy has been attempted only recently. In the present study, we sequenced an 8,167 bp region, encompassing a single ribosomal DNA (rDNA) repeat unit, from Chrysaora pacifica, and used it for phylogenetic analyses.
