Sycon Ciliatum (Fabricius, 1780) Sycon ciliatum (Fabricius, 1780) AphiaID: 132251 ESPONJA-CALCÁREA Animalia (Reino) > Porifera (Filo) > Calcarea (Classe) > Calcaronea (Subclasse) > Leucosolenida (Ordem) > Sycettidae (Familia) © Vasco Ferreira / Jul. 13 2013 © Vasco Ferreira v_s_ - iNaturalist.org Descrição Esta esponja mede até 5 cm e às vezes forma grupos, é tubular e tem cor amarela cremosa e um aspeto delicado. A circulação de água necessária para alimentação e oxigenação é feita a partir dos muitos poros inalantes dispostos na periferia do corpo, em direção ao sifão exalante superior ou ósculo. Espinhos semelhantes a agulhas (chamados espículas) cobrem o seu corpo, as espículas que se 1 encontram ao redor da abertura do ósculo são maiores que as da base do corpo. Distribuição geográfica Do Ártico até Gibraltar. Habitat e ecologia Habitat – ocorre principalmente em regiões temperadas. Ocorre desde a zona intertidal até as profundidades sublitorais, raramente a mais de 150m de profundidade. Alimentação – obtém o alimento filtrando a água através dos coanócitos. Reprodução – predomina a reprodução sexuada, que ocorre entre julho e agosto. O desenvolvimento das larvas ocorre dentro da esponja principal, até ao momento em que são libertadas no mar. Características identificativas Tubular, simples ou em grupos; Pode atingir até 5 cm de altura e 7,5 mm de largura; Coloração num tom amarelo cremoso; Um grande ósculo terminal rodeado por uma coroa de espículas.

  • Spicule Formation in Calcareous Sponges: Coordinated Expression
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Spicule formation in calcareous sponges: Coordinated expression of biomineralization genes and Received: 17 November 2016 Accepted: 02 March 2017 spicule-type specific genes Published: 13 April 2017 Oliver Voigt1, Maja Adamska2, Marcin Adamski2, André Kittelmann1, Lukardis Wencker1 & Gert Wörheide1,3,4 The ability to form mineral structures under biological control is widespread among animals. In several species, specific proteins have been shown to be involved in biomineralization, but it is uncertain how they influence the shape of the growing biomineral and the resulting skeleton. Calcareous sponges are the only sponges that form calcitic spicules, which, based on the number of rays (actines) are distinguished in diactines, triactines and tetractines. Each actine is formed by only two cells, called sclerocytes. Little is known about biomineralization proteins in calcareous sponges, other than that specific carbonic anhydrases (CAs) have been identified, and that uncharacterized Asx-rich proteins have been isolated from calcitic spicules. By RNA-Seq and RNA in situ hybridization (ISH), we identified five additional biomineralization genes inSycon ciliatum: two bicarbonate transporters (BCTs) and three Asx-rich extracellular matrix proteins (ARPs). We show that these biomineralization genes are expressed in a coordinated pattern during spicule formation. Furthermore, two of the ARPs are spicule- type specific for triactines and tetractines (ARP1 orSciTriactinin ) or diactines (ARP2 or SciDiactinin). Our results suggest that spicule formation is controlled by defined temporal and spatial expression of spicule-type specific sets of biomineralization genes. By the process of biomineralization many animal groups produce mineral structures like skeletons, shells and teeth. Biominerals differ in shape considerably from their inorganic mineral counterparts1.

  • Species Composition of the Free Living Multicellular Invertebrate Animals
    Historia naturalis bulgarica, 21: 49-168, 2015 Species composition of the free living multicellular invertebrate animals (Metazoa: Invertebrata) from the Bulgarian sector of the Black Sea and the coastal brackish basins Zdravko Hubenov Abstract: A total of 19 types, 39 classes, 123 orders, 470 families and 1537 species are known from the Bulgarian Black Sea. They include 1054 species (68.6%) of marine and marine-brackish forms and 508 species (33.0%) of freshwater-brackish, freshwater and terrestrial forms, connected with water. Five types (Nematoda, Rotifera, Annelida, Arthropoda and Mollusca) have a high species richness (over 100 species). Of these, the richest in species are Arthropoda (802 species – 52.2%), Annelida (173 species – 11.2%) and Mollusca (152 species – 9.9%). The remaining 14 types include from 1 to 38 species. There are some well-studied regions (over 200 species recorded): first, the vicinity of Varna (601 spe- cies), where investigations continue for more than 100 years. The aquatory of the towns Nesebar, Pomorie, Burgas and Sozopol (220 to 274 species) and the region of Cape Kaliakra (230 species) are well-studied. Of the coastal basins most studied are the lakes Durankulak, Ezerets-Shabla, Beloslav, Varna, Pomorie, Atanasovsko, Burgas, Mandra and the firth of Ropotamo River (up to 100 species known). The vertical distribution has been analyzed for 800 species (75.9%) – marine and marine-brackish forms. The great number of species is found from 0 to 25 m on sand (396 species) and rocky (257 species) bottom. The groups of stenohypo- (52 species – 6.5%), stenoepi- (465 species – 58.1%), meso- (115 species – 14.4%) and eurybathic forms (168 species – 21.0%) are represented.

  • Seasearch Annual Report 2016
    ANNUAL REPORT 2016 This report summarises Seasearch activities throughout Britain and Ireland in 2016. It includes a summary of the main surveys undertaken (pages 2-5), reports produced and a summary of the data collected. This includes records of Priority habitats and species, locally important features and nationally scarce and rare species (pages 6-9) and habitats (pages 9- 11). It also includes a summary of the training courses run for volunteer divers (page 12) and information on how Seasearch is organised and the data is managed and made available (page 13). All of the reports referred to may be downloaded from the Seasearch website and the species data may be accessed through the National Biodiversity Network website. More detailed datasets are available on request. Seasearch Surveys 2016 Seasearch continued to target much of its survey activity in existing and proposed marine protected areas. In England 23 new Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) were designated in January 2016, making a total of 50; four Northern Ireland MCZs, including the site at Waterfoot Bay proposed by Seasearch, were designated in December 2016. The following pages summarise the main surveys undertaken in 2016. They were arranged by Seasearch Coordinators and other volunteers; we would like to thank all of the organisations who supported survey activity at a local level. In addition to the surveys outlined here there were many other dives both organised by Seasearch coordinators and undertaken by individual divers. The map shows the location of all the 2016 dives. Data from all of the surveys has been entered into the Marine Recorder database and can be freely accessed on the National Biodiversity Network website www.nbn.org.uk.
