Larval Settlement and Metamorphosis of Sabellariid Polychaetes, with Special Reference to <I>Phragmatopoma Lapidosa</I&
BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 43(1): 41~O, 1988 LARVAL SETTLEMENT AND METAMORPHOSIS OF SABELLARIID POL YCHAETES, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO PHRAGMATOPOMA LA PIDOSA, A REEF-BUILDING SPECIES, AND SABELLARIA FLORIDENSIS, A NON-GREGARIOUS SPECIES Joseph R. Pawlik ABSTRACT The naturally-occurring inducers of larval settlement and metamorphosis have recently been isolated and identified for the northeast Pacific reef-building sabellariid polychaete, Phragmatopoma californica, and the larval responses of this species compared, in reciprocal laboratory settlement assays, to those of its European counterpart, Sabel/aria alveolata, The present study includes the larval behavior of two additional sabellariids from the western Atlantic, P. lapidasa, a reef-building species, and S. jlaridensis, a non-gregarious species. Larval responses of P. lapidosa were very similar to those of P. californica. In reciprocal laboratory assays of both species, greater metamorphosis occurred on conspecific than on heterospecific tube sand, but both metamorphosed more frequently on heterospecific tube sand than on control sand. Organic solvent extraction of the sand/cement matrix of tubes of P. lapidosa removed its capacity to induce conspecific metamorphosis. The capacity was retained in the lipid-soluble extract and was recovered as a single fraction by high-performance liquid chromatography. The inducers were identified by gas chromatography as a mixture of free fatty acids (FFAs) ranging from 14 to 22 carbons in length. The mixture contained the same component FFAs as the inductive fraction from the natural tube sand of P. californica, but the relative proportions were different. Of the FFAs found in the naturally-occurring mixture, larval metamorphosis was greatest in response to 16: I, 18:2, 20:4 and 20:5, with a significant response to 16: I at as low as I /l-g!gsand (surface area;;! 36 cm2). -

Role of Reef-Building, Ecosystem Engineering Polychaetes in Shallow Water Ecosystems
diversity Review Role of Reef-Building, Ecosystem Engineering Polychaetes in Shallow Water Ecosystems Martín Bruschetti 1,2 1 Instituto de Investigaciones Marinas y Costeras (IIMyC)-CONICET, Mar del Plata 7600, Argentina; [email protected] 2 Laboratorio de Ecología, Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata, FCEyN, Laboratorio de Ecología 7600, Argentina Received: 15 June 2019; Accepted: 15 September 2019; Published: 17 September 2019 Abstract: Although the effect of ecosystem engineers in structuring communities is common in several systems, it is seldom as evident as in shallow marine soft-bottoms. These systems lack abiotic three-dimensional structures but host biogenic structures that play critical roles in controlling abiotic conditions and resources. Here I review how reef-building polychaetes (RBP) engineer their environment and affect habitat quality, thus regulating community structure, ecosystem functioning, and the provision of ecosystem services in shallow waters. The analysis focuses on different engineering mechanisms, such as hard substrate production, effects on hydrodynamics, and sediment transport, and impacts mediated by filter feeding and biodeposition. Finally, I deal with landscape-level topographic alteration by RBP. In conclusion, RBP have positive impacts on diversity and abundance of many species mediated by the structure of the reef. Additionally, by feeding on phytoplankton and decreasing water turbidity, RBP can control primary production, increase light penetration, and might alleviate the effects of eutrophication -

Harbor Branch Institution, Inc .. R.R. 1, Box 196, Fort Pierce, FL 33450. U.S.A. Abstract: The spionid polychaetes, Pygospio elegans Claparede, Pseudopolydora kempi (Southern), and Rhynchospio arenincola Hartman are found in False Bay, Washington. Two species, Pygospio elegans and Pseudopolydora kempi, co-occur in the high intertidal zone. The third species Rhynchospio arenincola occurs only in low intertidal areas. Reciprocal transplant experiments were used to test the importance of intraspecific density, interspecific density, and habitat on the survivorship of experimental animals. For all three species, only habitat had a significant effect. Individuals of each species survived better in experimental containers in their native habitat, regardless of the heterospecific and conspecific densities used in the experiments. The physical stresses associated with the prolonged exposure of the high intertidal site are experimentally shown to result in Rhynchospio mortality. From these experiments, habitat type is the only significant factor tested which can explain the observed distributions; the presence of confamilials has no detected effect on the survivorship of any species, suggesting that competition does not serve to maintain the patterns of distribution. -
