  • Benthic Infaunal Communities and Sediment Properties in Pile Fields Within the Hudson River Park Estuarine Sanctuary
    Benthic Infaunal Communities and Sediment Properties in Pile Fields within the Hudson River Park Estuarine Sanctuary Final report to: New York-New Jersey Harbor Estuary Program Hudson River Foundation Gary L. Taghon Rosemarie F. Petrecca Charlotte M. Fuller Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey Department of Marine and Coastal Sciences New Brunswick, NJ 21 June 2018 Hudson Benthics Project Final report 7/11/2018 1 INTRODUCTION A core mission of the NY-NJ Harbor & Estuary Program, along with the Hudson River Foundation, is to advance research to facilitate the restoration of more, and better quality, habitat. In urban estuaries such as the NY-NJ Harbor Estuary, restoring shorelines and shallow waters to their natural or pre-industrial state is not an option in most cases because human activities have extensively modified the shorelines since the time of European contact (Squires 1992). Therefore, organizations that work to restore habitat need to dig deeper to find out what creates the most desirable habitat for estuarine wildlife. Pile fields are legacy piers that have lost their surfaces and exist as wooden piles sticking out of the sediment. Pile fields have been extolled as good habitat for fish. It is even written into the Hudson River Park Estuarine Sanctuary Management Plan that the Hudson River pile fields must be maintained for their habitat value. There is no definitive answer, however, as to why and how fish and other estuarine organisms use the pile fields. The project and results described in this report address a small portion of that larger question by assessing if the structure of the benthic community may have some bearing on how the pile fields are used as habitat.

  • Genes with Spiralian-Specific Protein Motifs Are Expressed In
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-17780-7 OPEN Genes with spiralian-specific protein motifs are expressed in spiralian ciliary bands Longjun Wu1,6, Laurel S. Hiebert 2,7, Marleen Klann3,8, Yale Passamaneck3,4, Benjamin R. Bastin5, Stephan Q. Schneider 5,9, Mark Q. Martindale 3,4, Elaine C. Seaver3, Svetlana A. Maslakova2 & ✉ J. David Lambert 1 Spiralia is a large, ancient and diverse clade of animals, with a conserved early developmental 1234567890():,; program but diverse larval and adult morphologies. One trait shared by many spiralians is the presence of ciliary bands used for locomotion and feeding. To learn more about spiralian- specific traits we have examined the expression of 20 genes with protein motifs that are strongly conserved within the Spiralia, but not detectable outside of it. Here, we show that two of these are specifically expressed in the main ciliary band of the mollusc Tritia (also known as Ilyanassa). Their expression patterns in representative species from five more spiralian phyla—the annelids, nemerteans, phoronids, brachiopods and rotifers—show that at least one of these, lophotrochin, has a conserved and specific role in particular ciliated structures, most consistently in ciliary bands. These results highlight the potential importance of lineage-specific genes or protein motifs for understanding traits shared across ancient lineages. 1 Department of Biology, University of Rochester, Rochester, NY 14627, USA. 2 Oregon Institute of Marine Biology, University of Oregon, Charleston, OR 97420, USA. 3 Whitney Laboratory for Marine Bioscience, University of Florida, 9505 Ocean Shore Blvd., St. Augustine, FL 32080, USA. 4 Kewalo Marine Laboratory, PBRC, University of Hawaii, 41 Ahui Street, Honolulu, HI 96813, USA.

However, the previous shell or radula-based classification of Nassarius is quite confusing due to the homoplasy of certain morphological characteristics. The toxin accumulators Nassarius glans and Nassarius siquijorensis are widely distributed in the subtidal regions of the Indo-Pacific Ocean. In spite of their biological significance, the phylogenetic positions of N. glans and N. siquijorensis are still undetermined. In the present study, the complete mitochondrial genomes of N. glans and N. siquijorensis were sequenced. The present mitochondrial genomes were 15,296 and 15,337 bp in length, respectively, showing negative AT skews and positive GC skews as well as a bias of AT rich on the heavy strand. They contained 13 protein coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and several noncoding regions, and their gene order was identical to most caenogastropods.
