The second picture (left) shows the pelagosphera with extended head, and the metatroch, which these larvae use to swim. Patterns of parental investment, dispersal and size among coral-reef fishes. description of two new families. Cutler EB. Their main findings, icant genetic differentiation among populations from, In this study, we report on the population struc-, ture of three amphi-Pacific sipunculan species with, different developmental modes (Fig. In addition sipunculids have: Introvert (retractable proboscis) with tentacles extended by hydraulic system Genetic differentiation despite tele-, planic larval dispersal: allozyme variation in sipunculans of, the Apionsoma misakianum species complex. However, the retrieved figures should be considered with caution. The terminal organ (not shown) is usually retracted when the larva is swimming or inactive. he goals of these expeditions were to study the biodiversity and biogeography as well as trophic characteristics of the benthic organisms in the northwest Pacific deep-sea. aspect. The benthi-pelagic larva of P. agassizii is planktotrophic and its metamorphosis into a juvenile form has not been observed. In direct contrast to a number of previous reviews, we find that average PLD is poorly correlated with genetic structure (FST). In the biogeographical and taxonomical literature before the 1980s there was a wide perception that widespread, often referred to as ‘cosmopolitan’, species were very common among polychaetes. Fishery Bulletin- National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. From this data, deep-water sipunculan fauna were found to include representatives of 4 families, 10 genera, 51 species and 3 subspecies. 1994) were used for COI. Phylogeny of sipuncu-, lan worms: a combined analysis of four gene regions and. We examined the genetic evidence for dispersal in the sipunculan Apionsoma misakianum (Ikeda 1904) by analysis of allozymes (using a total of nine polymorphic loci) in larval and adult samples. Scale bars: 20 m m. Neighbor-joining trees for P. agassizii . 2019. The Author 2012. The mouth is usually surrounded by one or more rings of tentacles. For species in which minimum, maximum and mean PLD were available, it is noteworthy that both minimum and maximum PLD are better correlated with FST than the mean larval duration, which has been used in all such previous studies. Cleavage in all three species is of the typical spiral pattern except that in the 8-cell stage of T. pyroides the micromeres of the A, B, and C quadrants arc larger than the macromeres. Several phyla within the Lophotrochozoa have trochophore larvae (Nemertea, Mollusca, Sipuncula, Echiura, Pogonophora, Annelida), and several have a lophophore, a ring of tentacles encircling the mouth (Bryozoa, Entoprocta, Phoronida, Brachiopoda).. 1. Are there true cosmopolitan, sipunculan worms? Another distinguishing, feature is the short terminal tentacles, which are also, diagnostic and are present in representatives from, In all three species, the samples from the Sea of, Japan and from the NE Pacific represent very distinct, branches in the phylogenies (Figs. We also suggest the measures needed to revolve the status of species with reported cosmopolitan distributions and stress the value of museum collections and vouchers to be associated with DNA sequences in resolving species distributions. Bull Mar Sci, Stephen AC, Edmonds SJ. and evolution. Prospects for inferring, very large phylogenies by using the neighbor-joining. tion among populations within regions is even lower. Larval development and metamorphosis in, Rice ME. ( A ) Phascolosoma agassizii , ( B ) Thysanocardia nigra , and ( C ) Themiste pyroides . Here we present the results of a series of experiments whose purpose was to test this assumption. Adult sipunculans exhibit an unsegmented body, subdivided into a posterior trunk and a retractable anterior introvert. Larval types and their metamorphoses are described, with special attention to the development and morphology of the larval cuticle. More information can be found by visiting the GIGA website : www.GIGA-cos.org. Owing to the sheer distance, between the two studied regions and the limited con-, nections to the Pacific in the Sea of Japan, we hypoth-, esized that some degree of genetic distinction exists. nov.; (ii) Phascolionidae and Themistidae are synonymized with Golfingiidae, new synonymies (iii) Phascolopsis is transferred to Golfingiidae, new familial assignment; and (iv) Lithacrosiphon is synonymized with Aspidosiphon, new synonymy. We acknowledge that our sample sizes for some of, the populations are small, but the available evidence, indicates that intra-populational and intra-regional, diversity are generally low, whereas inter-regional di-, vergence is high.

Finally, attempts to relate the species richness values to latitudinal or longitudinal gradients have as yet proved unsuccessful. Proc R Soc B Biol Sci, Hedgecock D, Barber PH, Edmands S. 2007.

Reference to Siphonosoma australe takatsukii, recently recorded from the Ryukyu Islands, is also made. This inability to postpone settlement limits the potential for dispersal, especially when dispersal time between suitable habitats is greater than about 30 d. their yolk reserves and fed on nurse eggs.

Due to the relatively small sam-, ples sizes, an AMOVA based on haplotype frequen-, cies would not have been meaningful. Hook morphology in P. agassizii . Data on the time of reproduction and larval settlement and the distribution of these species in Peter the Great Bay are This study deals with the reproduction and development of the most common species of peanut worms from the Sea of Japan: Thysanocardia nigra, Themiste pyroides, and Phascolosoma agassizii. 1967. Over the next 2 decades, Cutler, and co-authors performed a series of generic revi-, sions as summarized by Cutler (1994) who reduced, the number of species to less than half that of, Stephen and Edmonds. In: Atlas of Marine Invertebrate Larvae. For 16S rRNA, average K2P dis-, tances between the populations from the Sea of, Japan and from the NE Pacific are highest for, Our data are clear evidence against cosmopolitanism, of the three amphi-Pacific sipunculan species under, investigation although there is no doubt that the, specimens from both regions were properly identi-, fied based on morphology according to the pub-. Sipunculan phylogeny based on six genes, with a new classification and the descriptions of two new families. However, … This, would be another case of pseudo-sibling species, Only the first hypothesis justifies the claim of true, cosmopolitanism. Proc Nat Acad of Sci USA 90:9557–61.

The, result is a complex of pseudo-cryptic species, populations are genetically and morphologically, distinct, but the morphological differences have, not been detected or documented yet. Peanut worm, any member of the invertebrate phylum Sipuncula, a group of unsegmented marine worms. Although no COI se-, quences are currently available for any of the samples, from the NE Pacific, the 16S analysis indicates that. The benthi-pelagic larva of G. pugettensis is lecithotrophic, losing its cilia at 20 days of age when it begins a gradual transformation into the form of the adult. Click on the picture to see a larger version, This sipunculid (peanut worm) pelagosphera larva was found in an open ocean plankton sample that was collected during our class boat trip on April 17, 2012 – a few miles south of the mouth of Coos Bay, OR. Adrianov A, Maiorova A. A solid taxo-, nomic framework is necessary for interpreting popu-, lation-level genetic data, but genetic data are also. (SIPUNCULA, SIPUNCULIDAE) Mary E.
