Population dynamics, life histories and species richness in an epiphytic chironomid community

SUMMARY. 1. The chironomid fauna on the spiked water-milfoil Myriophyllum spicatum was studied quantitatively for a year in a small lowland stream in eastern England.
2. A total of nineteen species, comprising fourteen Orthocladiinae, four Chironominae and one Tanypodinae, was recorded. Population dynamics and life histories of the eight most abundant species were described: Orthocladius (O.) Pe 9, O. (O.) sp. A, Cricotopus (C.) annulator, Rheocricotopus chalybeatus, Tvetenia calvescens, Eukiefferiella ilkleyensis, Thienemanniella majuscula and Rheotanytarsus curtistylus. The number of generations per year ranged from one (O. (O.) Pe 9, O. (O.) sp. A, C, (C.) annulator) to five ( T. calvescens, T. majuscula). Temporal variation in population density often reflected characteristic patterns of the life cycle of each species.
3. Species richness (number of species) for each month ranged between six and fifteen. These observed species richnesses were compared with a null species occurrence model and it was revealed that a significantly higher number of species than expected coexisted in April and May. This may be related to the abundance of diatoms in spring.     

New Deep-sea Leptognathiid Tanaids (Crustacea, Tanaidacea) from the North-east Atlantic

Three new genera ( Araphura, Leptognathioides and Stenotanais ) and six new species of tanaid crustaceans from below 1000 m depth in the north-east Atlantic are described. Two of the new species belong to the genus Leptognathiella Hansen, 1913, which is redescribed and removed from synonymy with Leptognathia Sars, 1882 ( sensu Lang 1968). These species are relatively common in the tanaid material examined and have a widespread distribution in the area under study, i.e. the Rockall Trough, Porcupine Seabight and Bay of Biscay. All six species are found at depths between 2070 and 2892 m. A further nine species previously belonging to the genus Leptognathia are removed to the new genera or to Leptognathiella. New records of Leptognathioides polita (Hansen, 1913) comb.n. and Leptognathiella abyssi (Hansen, 1913) have been obtained.

Molecular detection of the brevetoxin‐producing dinoflagellate Karenia brevis and closely related species using rRNA‐targeted probes and a semiautomated sandwich hybridization assay1

Brevetoxins produced by the marine dinoflagellate Karenia brevis (C. C. Davis) G. Hansen et Moestrup cause neurotoxic shellfish poisoning (NSP) in human consumers and also endanger a variety of coastal wildlife. In the eastern Gulf of Mexico the presence and abundance of this species have traditionally been monitored using light microscopy (LM) observations of whole water samples. Various molecular probe methods now enable detection of multiple species from a single sample, allowing rapid sample analysis. We describe the development of sandwich hybridization assays (SHAs) for Karenia brevis, K. selliformis Haywood, Steid. et L. MacK., K. mikimotoi (Miyake et Kominami ex M. Oda) G. Hansen et Moestrup, K. papilionacea Haywood et Steid., the Karlotoxin‐producer Karlodinium veneficum (D. Ballant.) J. Larsen (=K. micrum), and Gymnodinium aureolum (Hulburt) G. Hansen, comb. nov. The assays require no nucleic acid purification and use LSU rRNA‐targeted probes and a semiautomated, 96‐well plate format. Probes tested in matrix format were specific relative to rRNAs of all nontarget species used. The response of the SHA for a constant number of K. brevis cells per unit volume of homogenate depended on the growth status of a culture, decreasing for senescent cells relative to actively growing cells. The results of preliminary field tests of the K. brevis SHA indicated that cells collected from natural populations tended to return a lower signal than those harvested from laboratory cultures, but these results are nonetheless very encouraging. These preliminary field studies show that robust standards are required for cell identification and enumeration, with which new methods can be compared.

Essential function of linoleic acid esterified in acylglucosylceramide and acylceramide in maintaining the epidermal water permeability barrier. Evidence from feeding studies with oleate, linoleate, arachidonate, columbinate and alpha-linolenate

Essential fatty acid-deficient rats were supplemented with 300 mg per day of pure fatty acid esters: oleate (O), linoleate (L), arachidonate (A), and columbinate (C) for 10 days. During this period, the rats in groups L, A, and C all showed a decrease in their initially high trans-epidermal water loss, a classical essential fatty acid-deficiency symptom, to a level seen in non-deficient rats (group N). The trans-epidermal water loss in rats of group O was unaffected by the supplementation. Fatty acid composition of two epidermal sphingolipids, acylglucosylceramide and acylceramide, from the skin were determined. The results indicate that re-establishment of a low trans-epidermal water loss was associated with incorporation of linolenate into the two epidermal sphingolipids. Supplementation with columbinate resulted in relatively high amounts of this fatty acid in the investigated epidermal sphingolipids. Analysis of pooled skin specimens from a previous study in which weanling rats were fed a fat-free diet and supplemented orally with pure alpha-linolenate for 13 weeks (Hansen, H.S. and Jensen, B. (1983) Lipids 18, 682-690) revealed very little polyunsaturated fatty acid in the two sphingolipids. These rats showed increased evaporation which was comparable to that of essential fatty acid-deficient rats. We interpret these results as strong evidence for a very specific and essential function of linoleic acid in maintaining the integrity of the epidermal water permeability barrier. This function of linoleate is independent of its role as precursor for arachidonate and icosanoids.
