This is the first record of the order Stauromedusae from Brazil, and also from the tropical Southern Hemisphere. Kishinouyea corbini has been known only from two localities in Puerto Rico, and this new record constitutes a great southward extension of the known range of the species. This is also the first report of the species since its original description, so a description of the Brazilian specimens and a comparison with the type material are given. Records of Stauromedusae in the Southern Hemisphere are briefly reviewed. Key Words: Kishinouyea corbini, Stauromedusae, new record, Brazil, range extension, Southern Hemisphere distribution. Introduction Stauromedusae are sessile polypoid scyphozoans that generally have a goblet- shaped body and mostly are attached to the substratum by means of an adhesive disc on the base of a stalk-like peduncle of varied length. Uchida (1973) regarded their body as composed of an upper octamerous medusan part and a lower tetramerous scyphistoma polypoid portion. They do not undergo strobilation and do not produce ephyrae.

KOSTINA Institute of Marine Biology, Academy of Sciences of Russia, Vladivostok 690041, Russia Abstract A description of the intertidal biota of volcanic Yankich Island (Ushishir Islands, Kuril Islands) is given. The species composition and vertical distribution pattern of the intertidal communities at various localities are described in relation to environmental factors, such as nature of the substrate, surf conditions and volcanic vent water. The macrobenthos is poor in the areas directly influenced by high tempera­ ture (20-40°C) and high sulphur content. There are no marked changes in the intertidal communities in the areas of volcanic springs that are characterised by temperature below 10°C and by the absence of sulphur compounds. In general, the species composi­ tion and distribution of the intertidal biota are ordinary for the intertidal zone of the middle Kuril Islands. But there are departures from the typical zonation of the intertidal biota. Also, mass populations of Balanus crenatus appear.

H. Steinmetz 1 Received: 22 March 2019 /Accepted: 8 July 2019 /Published online: 7 August 2019 # The Author(s) 2019 Abstract Digestive systems and extracellular digestion are key animal features, but their emergence during early animal evolution is currently poorly understood. As the last common ancestor of non-bilaterian animal groups (sponges, ctenophores, placozoans and cnidarians) dates back to the beginning of animal life, their study and comparison provides important insights into the early evolution of digestive systems and functions. Here, I have compiled an overview of the development and cell biology of digestive tissues in non-bilaterian animals. I will highlight the fundamental differences between extracellular and intracellular digestive processes, and how these are distributed among animals. Cnidarians (e.g. sea anemones, corals, jellyfish), the phylogenetic outgroup of bilaterians (e.g. vertebrates, flies, annelids), occupy a key position to reconstruct the evolution of bilaterian gut evolution. A major focus will therefore lie on the development and cell biology of digestive tissues in cnidarians, especially sea anemones, and how they compare to bilaterian gut tissues. In that context, I will also review how a recent study on the gastrula fate map of the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis challenges our long-standing conceptions on the evolution of cnidarian and bilaterian germ layers and guts.

The ecological success of Cnidaria is predicated on several fascinating organismal innovations including symbiosis, colonial body plans and elaborate life histories, however, understanding the origins and subsequent diversification of these traits remains difficult due to persistent uncertainty surrounding the evolutionary relationships within Cnidaria. While recent phylogenomic studies have advanced our knowledge of the cnidarian tree of life, no analysis to date has included genome scale data for each major cnidarian lineage. Results: Here we describe a well-supported hypothesis for cnidarian phylogeny based on phylogenomic analyses of new and existing genome scale data that includes representatives of all cnidarian classes.

  • Eyes in Staurozoa (Cnidaria): a Review
    Eyes in Staurozoa (Cnidaria): a review Lucília Souza Miranda1,* and Allen Gilbert Collins2,* 1 Department of Zoology, Instituto de Ciências Biológicas, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil 2 National Systematics Laboratory, National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, District of Columbia, WA, United States of America * These authors contributed equally to this work. ABSTRACT The presence of dark pigment spots associated with primary tentacles (or structures derived from them, i.e., rhopalioids) in Staurozoa was recently overlooked in a study on the evolution of cnidarian eyes (defined as a ``region made of photoreceptor cells adjacent to pigment cells'', irrespective of image formation, i.e., including all photoreceptive organs). Review of old and recent literature on Staurozoa shows that dark pigment spots are present in virtually all species of Manania, as well as some species of Haliclystus, Stylocoronella, and probably Calvadosia. The known ultrastructure of ocelli seems to be compatible with light perception, but no immediate response to changes in light intensity have been observed in the behavior of staurozoans. Therefore, although further studies addressing photic behavior are required, we discuss an earlier hypothesis that the dark spots in some stauromedusae may be related to synchronous spawning, as well as the possible sensorial function of rhopalioids. Observations summarized here suggest a possible ninth independent origin of eyes in Cnidaria, within a lineage of benthic medusae. Alternatively, documented similarity across medusae of Cubozoa, Scyphozoa, and Staurozoa—with eyes being topologically associated with primary tentacles in each of these taxa—could indicate shared ancestry and a single origin of eyes in this clade known as Acraspeda.

ABSTRACT Staurozoan classification is highly subjective, based on phylogeny-free inferences, and suborders, families, and genera are commonly defined by homoplasies. Additionally, many characters used in the taxonomy of the group have ontogenetic and intraspecific variation, and demand new and consistent assessments to establish their correct homologies. Consequently, Staurozoa is in need of a thorough systematic revision. The aim of this study is to propose a comprehensive phylogenetic hypothesis for Staurozoa, providing the first phylogenetic classification for the group. According to our working hypothesis based on a combined set of molecular data (mitochondrial markers COI and 16S, and nuclear markers ITS, 18S, and 28S), the traditional suborders Cleistocarpida (animals with claustrum) and Eleutherocarpida (animals without claustrum) are not Submitted 9 November 2015 Accepted 29 March 2016 monophyletic.
