I am deeply indebted to all of them for not only making this effort possible, but for making it a rich and enduring experience. I especially wish to thank Susan Anderson and Peter Warren who provided me with love and caring support, a roof over my head, and excellent scientific guidance. Other special people both friends and invaluable colleagues include Fernando Zapata, Dave Gori, Sarah Mesnick, Alan Harvey, Kathy Burgess, Bob Frye, Jennifer Shopland, Curt Lively and Pete Raimondi. I also benefitted from discussions with other members of that unique place of ferment, "the basement", such as Mark Kot, Nancy Moran, Meriel Brooks, Phil Hastings, Gordon Fox, Pete Sundt, Diana Warr, and many others. Thanks also to Char Ernstein, Rob Fountain, and Julie Tronson for the drawings of the samurai hydroid; and to Shawn McLaughlin and Lin Moore for help in the preparation of this manuscript and many others along the way. My committee has been supportive and inspiring, each in his or her own way. Dr. Thomson first introduced me to field ecology and to the Gulf of California, and truly inspired me to pursue a career in ecology. He has a keen ability to recognize what is not only do-able, but interesting, in science, and to straightforwardly state the facts. Dr. Hendrickson en­ couraged me to apply for a Ph.D. Jim Brown gave me the CQurage to think big and to follow my heart in terms of ideas. He was supportive and an inspiration for me in terms of his own life in science. Bruce Walsh pushed me to accomplish things, to apply for grants. He had faith in me. Conrad Istock provided me with the opportunity to teach my own course, and ensured that I had financial support from the department, as well as offering insightful comments on my work and ideas. Judie Bronstein provided stimulating discussions on mutualism, field biology, teaching, and was generally accessible and helpful. In the field, thanks to Roy and Lois Johnson, Pete and Julie Bennett, and the Steenburgs for the use of their cabin in Cholla Bay. And deep gratitude to Gary Bennett for the use of his house, and for a friendship developed by mail and phone over four years. To Rick Boyer and Peggy Turk-Boyer at CEDO for providing a harbor in what sometimes seemed to be overwhelming odds against completing my field work under rigorous conditions. To field assistants Janet Voigt, Meriel Brooks, Alan Harvey, Pete Raimondi, Pete and Suse, Hall Cushman, Dave Gori and Scott Wilson. Special thanks to Nando Boero in Leece, Italy for stimulating discussions of hydroids and hydromedusae and for inspiring me in what interesting creatures hydroids can be. Also to Paul Cornelius at the British Museum for help­ ful criticism on the genus description and for his friendship. To my family, for their love and encouragement and emotional and financial support. To my mother for being a perfectionist and wanting to live life intensely, and encouraging me to find work that I would love and that that was such a lucky thing to have. To my father for being wise, loving, and open-minded and for giving me the gift of curiousity about life, which sustains me in all aspects of my life, but has certainly pushed me into biology. To my sister Laura for her absolute love and emotional support and creativity. To my stepmother Pat for her caring support and love. To my dear sweet dog, Dash. Financial Support from American Association of University Women, ARCS Foundation, Sigma-Xi, Lerner Gray Fund for Marine Research (American Museum Natural History, N.Y.), the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the University of Arizona, my parents, and my Nana and Papa. 5 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS ............................ 7 LIST OF TABLES ................................... 9 ABSTRACf ........................................ 10 1.

The morphology of Hydrocoryne was described and il­ lustrated in the following developmental stages: the well-developed polyp with or without medusa buds, the regenerated polyp, the primary polyp, the newly liberated medusa, the earliest mature medusa, the aged mature and spent medusae, and the young and aged planulae. The morphology of gametes was also described and illustrated. It is highly probable that only one species, referable to H. miurensis Stechow, 1907, occurs in Japanese waters. Hydrocor_yne is one of the metagenetic hydrozoans that has a large polyp and a small medusa. The colonial polyps are common on pebbles and rocks in shallow waters of rather open coasts in the North Pacific. Rees (1957) erected the mono­ typic family Hydrocorynidae in order to accomodate this genus and his diagnosis of the family was slightly emended by Uchida & Nagao (1967).

Eighteen stations were sampled in the Bocas del Toro area, western Panama. Nine others were situated in Colón and vicinity, and a single station was made at Portobelo in the east. Seventy-nine species were identified overall, including 28 anthoathecates, 49 leptothecates, and two actinulids. Included among the anthoathecates were the hydrocorals Millepora alcicornis, M. com- planata, M. squarrosa, and Stylaster roseus. The six most frequently encountered species in the collections were Turritopsis nutricula, Nemalecium lighti, Halopteris alternata, Millepora alcicornis, Antennella se- cundaria, and Dynamena disticha. Records of each species from localities elsewhere in the Caribbean region are summarized. Four species, Ectopleura mayeri, Sagamihydra dyssymetra, Halecium lightbourni, and Tri- dentata vervoorti, are reported from the Caribbean Sea for the first time.

  • History and Examples from Radiolaria and Medusozoa (Cnidaria)
    Marine Biology Research, 2006; 2: 200Á241 ORIGINAL ARTICLE A review of bipolarity concepts: History and examples from Radiolaria and Medusozoa (Cnidaria) S. D. STEPANJANTS1, G. CORTESE2, S. B. KRUGLIKOVA3 & K. R. BJØRKLUND4 1Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, St Petersburg, Russia, 2Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, Bremerhaven, Germany, 3P.P. Shirshov Institute of Oceanology, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia & 4Natural History Museum, Department of Geology, University of Oslo, Norway Abstract Bipolarity, its history and general interpretation are investigated and discussed herein. Apart from the classical view, namely that a bipolar distribution is a peculiar biogeographical phenomenon, we propose that it is ecologically controlled too. This approach was used for bipolarity assessment within the following groups: Phaeodaria, Nassellaria, Spumellaria (Radiolaria) and Medusozoa (Cnidaria). We recognize 46 bipolar radiolarian species and three radiolarian genera. However, although species concepts in radiolarians are relatively stable and well known, the high-rank taxonomy of radiolarians is still not well defined. Caution should therefore be taken in the interpretation of distribution data at a taxonomic level higher than the species. In the Medusozoa, bipolarity is observed for 23 species and 32 genera. The different ways in which bipolarity can develop are discussed under the different groups, but preference has been given to the recent and most probable routes of migration. In our investigation

SUMMARY: This study provides a systematic account of the hydrozoan species collected up to now in the Mediterranean Sea. All species are described, illustrated and information on morphology and distribution is given for all of them. This work is the most complete fauna of hydrozoans made in the Mediterranean. The fauna includes planktonic hydromedusae, benth- ic polyps stages and the siphonophores. The Hydrozoa are taken as an example of inconspicuous taxa whose knowledge has greatly progressed in the last decades due to the scientific research of some specialists in the Mediterranean area. The num- ber of species recorded in the Mediterranean almost doubled in the last thirty years and the number of new records is still increasing. The 457 species recorded in this study represents the 12% of the world known species. The fauna is completed with classification keys and a glossary of terms with the main purpose of facilitating the identification of all Meditrranean hydrozoan species.

Tiaricodon orientalis sp. nov. can be distinguished from other Tiaricodon species by the umbrella size of the medusa, manubrium length, interradial peaks in the subumbrella, and a red band on the upper part of the manubrium. A com- parative table of the primary diagnostic characters of the genus is provided. Our morphological and molecular phyloge- netic analyses suggest that Tiaricodon from China is not Tiaricodon coeruleus but Tiaricodon orientalis. Key words: distribution, Halimedusa typus, medusa, Tiaricodon coeruleus, Urashimea globosa (1990) replaced Tiaricodon into the Anthomedusae but re- Introduction classified the genus into the family Polyorchidae. However, The family Halimedusidae currently comprises three spe- recent morphological comparisons have suggested that Tiar- cies in three monotypic genera, Halimedusa, Tiaricodon, icodon is a genus in the family Halimedusidae (Mills 2000). and Urashimea (Mills 2000, Bouillon et al. 2006). The Hali- To date, only one described Halimedusidae species, medusidae are characterized as follows: medusa usually Urashimea globosa Kishinouye, 1910, has been reported with a low gastric peduncle and with distinct subumbrellar from Japanese waters (Kubota & Gravili 2007).
