The induction and synthesis of stress proteins in the polychaete sibling species Marenzelleria viridis and M. neglecta was investigated at two different acclimation salinities (10 and 25 ppt). By in vitro labeling of dissected metameres with 35S-methionine/cysteine and electrophoretic separation, four size classes of heat shock proteins (Hsps) were detected corresponding to 86, 78, 75 and 27 kDa. All Hsps, with the exception of Hsp86, represent a complex of multiple isoforms. The sibling species differed in three aspects of their heat shock response: (1) the induction temperature for Hsp75 synthesis was 25 °C and 30 °C in M. viridis and M. neglecta, respectively; (2) the relative level of synthesis of Hsp75 was higher in M. viridis; (3) the heat shock response was inactivated at a higher temperature in M. neglecta compared to M. viridis. The results showed that acclimation salinity had no explicit effect on Hsp synthesis in either species and that M. viridis was thermally more sensitive than its sibling species. We proposed that temperature, alone or in combination with other abiotic factors, plays a far greater role in the biogeographic distribution in Marenzelleria spp. than has been estimated so far. 相似文献

Cercopagis pengoi, a recent invader to the Baltic Sea and the Laurentian Great Lakes, is a potential competitor with fish for zooplankton prey. We used stable C and N isotope ratios to elucidate trophic relationships between C. pengoi, zooplankton (microzooplankton, 90–200 m, mostly copepod nauplii and rotifers; mesozooplankton, >200 m, mostly copepods), and zooplanktivorous fish (herring, size range 5–15 cm and sprat, 9–11 cm) in a coastal area of the northern Baltic Sea. The isotope ratios in C. pengoi and fish were much higher than those of zooplankton, showing general trends of enrichment with trophic level. Young-of-the-year (YOY) herring had a significantly higher 15N/14N ratio than C. pengoi, suggesting of a trophic linkage between the two species. To evaluate the possible relative importance of different food sources for C. pengoi and YOY herring, two-source isotope-mixing models for N were used, with micro- and mesozooplankton as prey for C. pengoi and mesozooplankton and C. pengoi as prey for YOY herring. These models indicate that mesozooplankton was the major food source of both species. However, microzooplankton may be important prey for young stages of C. pengoi. Comparative analyses of the herring trophic position before and after the invasion by C. pengoi showed a trophic level shift from 2.6 to 3.4, indicating substantial alterations in the food web structure. Our findings contribute to a growing body of evidence, showing that C. pengoi can modify food webs and trophic interactions in invaded ecosystems. 相似文献

In laboratory-based biofouling assays, the influence of physico-chemical surface characteristics on barnacle settlement has been tested most frequently using the model organism Balanus amphitrite (= Amphibalanus amphitrite). Very few studies have addressed the settlement preferences of other barnacle species, such as Balanus improvisus (= Amphibalanus improvisus). This study aimed to unravel the effects of surface physico-chemical cues, in particular surface-free energy (SFE) and surface charge, on the settlement of cyprids of B. improvisus. The use of well-defined surfaces under controlled conditions further facilitates comparison of the results with recent similar data for B. amphitrite. Zero-day-old cyprids of B. improvisus were exposed to a series of model surfaces, namely self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkanethiols with varying end-groups, homogenously applied to gold-coated polystyrene (PS) Petri dishes. As with B. amphitrite, settlement of cyprids of B. improvisus was influenced by both SFE and charge, with higher settlement on low-energy (hydrophobic) surfaces and negatively charged SAMs. Positively charged SAMs resulted in low settlement, with intermediate settlement on neutral SAMs of similar SFE. In conclusion, it is demonstrated that despite previous suggestions to the contrary, these two species of barnacle show similar preferences in response to SFE; they also respond similarly to charge. These findings have positive implications for the development of novel antifouling (AF) coatings and support the importance of consistency in substratum choice for assays designed to compare surface preferences of fouling organisms. 相似文献

The ability of two plant-produced macrocyclic trichothecenes (baccharinoid B4 and roridin E) to induce callus growth of two trichothecene-producing Baccharis species (B. coridifolia and B. megapotamica) and two nontrichothecene-producing species (B. halimifolia and B. neglecta) was investigated. Roridin E had no effect in the induction of callus of B. coridifolia, a roridin-producing plant, but induced callus of nonroridin-producing plants (B. megapotamica, B. halimifolia, and B. neglecta). Baccharinoid B4 stimulated callus growth of B. megapotamica, a baccharinoid-producing plant, and inhibited growth of B. coridifolia, B. halimifolia, and B. neglecta callus tissues. The ability of roridin E to induce callus was most effective at concentrations of 10–8 and 10–6 M and when synergistically coupled with auxin, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). The ability of baccharinoid B4 to stimulate callus growth appeared to increase with increased concentration in the culture medium. Analysis of callus cultures grown in medium amended with roridin E showed that B4, roridin E, and 8-hydroxyroridin E and verrucarols were formed in the tissues but not in the medium. The results of this study indicated that while the callus-inducing ability of roridin E seemed to be nonspecies-specific in nature, the ability of B4 to stimulate callus was a highly species-specific phenomena. Callus-inducing activity of roridin E may depend on the capacity of plant species to transform exogenous roridin E into baccharinoids or other macrocyclic trichothecene derivatives. 相似文献

Development in an estuarine fouling community: The influence of early colonists on later arrivals 总被引:5,自引:1,他引:5
Summary Experiments were performed to determine if earlier colonists inhibited, enhanced, or were necessary for establishment of later colonists during development of an estuarine fouling community at Lewes, Delaware. We determined the significance of earlier stages on the successional process by functionally removing early colonizing species. Since settlement of sessile invertebrates onto our experimental test plates was seasonal, we were able to accomplish functional removal of early colonists by putting out clean test panels after these species had ceased settling. Comparisons between panels initially submerged at three different times in 1974 and 1975, and between panels put out at one-month intervals throughout the study (to describe seasonal settlement patterns) allowed us to determine interactions between adult populations of earlier colonists and colonizing individuals of later arriving species.The dominant sessile species in our system and their times of settlement were: a barnacle (Balanus improvisus) — April through June, a polychaete (Hydroides dianthus) — July and August, a tunicate (Molgula manhatensis) — June through October, a hydroid (Tubularia crocea) — July through October, and a mussel (Mytilus edulis) — November through April. All successional series eventually came to be dominated by M. edulis, and it persisted as the dominant for over a year.A variety of species interactions were observed. M. edulis inhibited colonization by all other dominants and B. improvisus partially inhibited settlement of M. manhattensis. The presence of adult M. manhattensis had no influence on summer settlement of T. crocea, but the hydroids enhanced settlement of tunicates in the fall. During both years of our study, larger settlements of mussels were noted on panels harboring tunicates and hydroids than on bare surfaces. H. dianthus, on the other hand, became established only on bare substrates, and colonization was almost totally inhibited by other dominants.Development in our fouling community did not conform to any single model of community development presented to date. Instead, components of several models were observed within our relatively simple (in terms of number of species) system. For example, facilitation (enhancement of later colonists by earlier ones) and inhibition (resistance of earlier colonists to invasion by later colonists) were both observed. However, we found no evidence earlier colonists were essential for establishment of the next developmental stage. In fact, inhibitory interactions appeared to be much more prevalent than facilitative interactions. The former may also have more profound effects on community development since they more often determine eventual species compositions. 相似文献

The Baltic Sea, a semi-enclosed brackish water region, has been inoculated by non-indigenous species for centuries. Today,
much of its biological diversity is of foreign origin (i.e. xenodiversity), intentionally or unintentionally moved by humans
over ecological and geographical barriers. As many as 98 introduced species have been recorded in the Baltic Sea and Kattegat.
The role and abundance of much of the unique native brackish water fauna of the Baltic Sea are threatened by these non-indigenous
species. The rate of primary introductions into the Baltic has increased since the 1950s; the secondary rate of spread of
non-indigenous species within the basin varies from 30–480 km/year. We review here the invasion histories of the brown alga
Sargassum muticum (introduced in the early 1990s), the mud snail Potamopyrgus antipodarum (1887), the barnacle Balanus improvisus (1844), the polychaetes Marenzelleria viridis (1985) and Polydora redeki (1963), the cladoceran Cercopagis pengoi (1992) and the mysid shrimp Hemimysis anomala (1962).

Camelina neglecta is a diploid species from the genus Camelina, which includes the versatile oilseed Camelina sativa. These species are closely related to Arabidopsis thaliana and the economically important Brassica crop species, making this genus a useful platform to dissect traits of agronomic importance while providing a tool to study the evolution of polyploids. A highly contiguous chromosome-level genome sequence of C. neglecta with an N50 size of 29.1 Mb was generated utilizing Pacific Biosciences (PacBio, Menlo Park, CA) long-read sequencing followed by chromosome conformation phasing. Comparison of the genome with that of C. sativa shows remarkable coincidence with subgenome 1 of the hexaploid, with only one major chromosomal rearrangement separating the two. Synonymous substitution rate analysis of the predicted 34 061 genes suggested subgenome 1 of C. sativa directly descended from C. neglecta around 1.2 mya. Higher functional divergence of genes in the hexaploid as evidenced by the greater number of unique orthogroups, and differential composition of resistant gene analogs, might suggest an immediate adaptation strategy after genome merger. The absence of genome bias in gene fractionation among the subgenomes of C. sativa in comparison with C. neglecta, and the complete lack of fractionation of meiosis-specific genes attests to the neopolyploid status of C. sativa. The assembled genome will provide a tool to further study genome evolution processes in the Camelina genus and potentially allow for the identification and exploitation of novel variation for Camelina crop improvement. 相似文献

This experimental study quantified and compared particle-mixing and solute transport by the polychaetes Marenzelleria neglecta (2 g ww, 3200 ind. m− 2) and Hediste diversicolor (2 g ww, 800 ind. m− 2) in Baltic Sea sediments. Particle tracers (luminophores) were added to the sediment surface and their vertical distribution in the sediment was measured after 10 d. The rate of particle mixing was quantified using a gallery-diffusion model calculating the biodiffusion coefficient Db and the non-local transport parameter r. Bioirrigation was measured by adding an inert solute tracer (bromide) to the overlying water 1, 1.5 and 2 d before the end of the experiment, and quantified by calculating the net bromide flux and fitting the bromide profiles to a 1D diffusion model providing an apparent biodiffusion coefficient Da. The two polychaete worms displayed similar particle-mixing and solute transport efficiencies (based on total biomass) despite different modes of bioturbation. However, H. diversicolor was a more efficient particle-reworker and M. neglecta a more efficient bioirrigator, on an individual level. H. diversicolor buried a higher percentage (13%) of luminophores below the top 0.5 cm surface layer than M. neglecta (6%). Db did not differ between the two species (2.4 × 10− 3 cm2 d− 1) indicating a similar rate of diffusive mixing of the top sediment, however, the non-local transport parameter r was 2.5 y− 1 for H. diversicolor and zero for M. neglecta, suggesting no significant particle-transport below the biodiffusive layer by M. neglecta. The average individual net bromide fluxes obtained were ca. 0.01 mL min− 1 for H. diversicolor and 0.003 mL min− 1 for M. neglecta, corresponding to an area-specific rate of ca. 12 L m− 2 d− 1 at the used densities. Da did not differ between the two polychaetes, suggesting a higher individual solute exchange efficiency of M. neglecta considering the much higher ventilation rates reported for H. diversicolor than for Marenzelleria sp. The ongoing colonization of Baltic Sea sediments by M. neglecta at high densities may thus lead to an enhanced soluble release of both nutrients and contaminants. These results add information to the understanding of the potential effects of the invasion of M. neglecta on sediment biogeochemistry when competing with and/or replacing native species. 相似文献

Acclimation of leaf features to growth temperature was investigated in two biennials (whose life cycle spans summer and winter seasons) using different mechanisms of sugar loading into exporting conduits, Verbascum phoeniceum (employs sugar‐synthesizing enzymes driving symplastic loading through plasmodesmatal wall pores of phloem cells) and Malva neglecta (likely apoplastic loader transporting sugar via membrane transport proteins of phloem cells). In both species, acclimation to lower temperature involved greater maximal photosynthesis rates and vein density per leaf area in close correlation with modification of minor vein cellular features. While the symplastically loading biennial exhibited adjustments in the size of minor leaf vein cells (consistent with adjustment of the level of sugar‐synthesizing enzymes), the putative apoplastic biennial exhibited adjustments in the number of cells (consistent with adjustment of cell membrane area for transporter placement). This upregulation of morphological and anatomical features at lower growth temperature likely contributes to the success of both the species during the winter. Furthermore, while acclimation to low temperature involved greater leaf mass per area in both species, this resulted from greater leaf thickness in V. phoeniceum vs a greater number of mesophyll cells per leaf area in M. neglecta. Both types of adjustments presumably accommodate more chloroplasts per leaf area contributing to photosynthesis. Both biennials exhibited high foliar vein densities (particularly the solar‐tracking M. neglecta), which should aid both sugar export from and delivery of water to the leaves. 相似文献

A study using principal component analysis and discriminant analysis was carried out on shell shape variation in 3093 specimens
of rough periwinkles, 2500 of which were below 5.5 mm in columella length, from around the North Atlantic. Using a combination
of colour plus sculpture, and life history trait, the snails were classified by inspection and examination into Littorina nigrolineata, L. arcana, L. saxatilis and L. neglecta. Principal component analyses indicated that similar aspects of variation were important in the different taxa, but these
were sometimes of differing levels of importance between L. saxatilis and L. neglecta. Crossvalidation in a discriminant analysis showed classification of shells larger than 5.5 mm to have at least an 88% accuracy.
That of shells below 5.5 mm showed an accuracy of 49% in L. arcana, increasing to 54% in L. saxatilis and 63% in L. neglecta, with 76% accuracy for small L. nigrolineata. This last was a special case as only one site was sampled, therefore comparative data are not available. This geographically-based
study reveals that L. neglecta is more homogeneous over its range than recently reported by other workers and shows greater differences from L. saxatilis than the latter does from either L. nigrolineata or L. arcana. Size effects do not account for these differences because L. neglecta is morphometrically distinct from both large and small L. saxatilis. Furthermore, small, mid-shore L. saxatilis classify with large high-shore L. saxatilis in discriminant analysis, not with L. neglecta. These results provide evidence that the taxon L. neglecta is more distinct than has sometimes been suggested. 相似文献

Increased settlement on bacterial biofilms has been demonstrated for a number of marine invertebrate larvae, but the nature of the cue(s) responsible is not well understood. We tested the hypothesis that the bay barnacle Balanus improvisus utilizes the bacterial signal molecules N‐acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs) as a cue for the selection of sites for permanent attachment. Single species biofilms of the AHL‐producing bacteria Vibrio anguillarum, Aeromonas hydrophila and Sulfitobacter sp. BR1 were attractive to settling cypris larvae of B. improvisus. However, when AHL production was inactivated, either by mutation of the AHL synthetic genes or by expression of an AHL‐degrading gene (aiiA), the ability of the bacteria to attract cyprids was abolished. In addition, cyprids actively explored biofilms of E. coli expressing the recombinant AHL synthase genes luxI from Vibrio fischeri (3‐oxo‐C6‐HSL), rhlI from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (C4‐HSL/C6‐HSL), vanI from V. anguillarum (3‐oxo‐C10‐HSL) and sulI from Sulfitobacter sp. BR1 (C4‐HSL, 3‐hydroxy‐C6‐HSL, C8‐HSL and 3‐hydroxy‐C10‐HSL), but not E. coli that did not produce AHLs. Finally, synthetic AHLs (C8‐HSL, 3‐oxo‐C10‐HSL and C12‐HSL) at concentrations similar to those found within natural biofilms (5 μm ) resulted in increased cyprid settlement. Thus, B. improvisus cypris exploration of and settlement on biofilms appears to be mediated by AHL‐signalling bacteria in the laboratory. This adds to our understanding of how quorum sensing inhibition may be used as for biofouling control. Nonetheless, the significance of our results for larvae settling naturally in the field, and the mechanisms that underlay the observed responses to AHLs, is as yet unknown. 相似文献

Seasonal differences in the efficiency of open PSII units (F
v/F
m), leaf pigment composition and xanthophyll cycle conversion (Z+A)/(V+A+Z), leaf adenylate status, and photosynthetic capacity
were investigated in Pinus ponderosa (Ponderosa pine) and Malva neglecta. In P. ponderosa, acclimation to winter involved a lower photosynthetic capacity, higher carotenoid to chlorophyll ratio, persistent reductions
in F
v/F
m corresponding to persistent retention of Z+A, and no change in foliar ATP/ADP ratios. In contrast, M. neglecta characterized in winter exhibited higher rates of photosynthesis than in summer with no change in carotenoid to chlorophyll
ratio, while small nocturnally persistent reductions in F
v/F
m were observed exclusively on colder winter nights when nocturnal retention of Z+A, and high ATP/ADP ratios were also present.
Upon removal of winter-stressed leaves or needles from the field to room temperature, a portion of F
v/F
m relaxed within 15 min of warming and recovery was completed within 5 h in M. neglecta but required 100 h in P. ponderosa. In M. neglecta, the entire recovery of F
v/F
m correlated with decreases in the foliar ATP/ADP ratio, while in P. ponderosa this ratio remained unchanged. Possible ATP-dependent forms of sustained (Z+A)-dependent energy dissipation are discussed
including a nocturnally retained pH gradient on cold winter nights. The slow recovery in pine involved not only retention
of Z+A, but apparently also a persistent engagement of Z+A for energy dissipation via an unidentified mechanism.

Plant genome size evolution is a very dynamic process: the ancestral genome of angiosperms was initially most likely small, which led to a tendency towards genome increase during evolution. However, findings in several angiosperm lineages demonstrate mechanisms that also led to genome size contraction. Recent molecular investigations on the Asteraceae genus Crepis suggest that several genomic reduction events have occurred during the evolution of the genus. This study focuses on the Mediterranean Crepis sect. Neglectoides, which includes three species with some of the smallest genomes within the whole genus. Crepis neglecta has the largest genome in sect. Neglectoides, approximately twice the size of the two species Crepis cretica and Crepis hellenica. Whereas C. cretica and C. hellencia are more closely related to each other than to C. neglecta the karyotypes of the latter species and C. cretica are similar, while that of C. hellenica differs considerably. Here, the karyotypic organisation of the three species is investigated with fluorescence in‐situ hybridisation and studied in a molecular phylogenetic framework based on the nuclear markers Actin, CHR12, CPN60B, GPCR1 and XTH23. Our findings further corroborate the occurrence of genome size contraction in Crepis, and suggest that the difference in genome size between C. neglecta and C. cretica is mostly due to elimination of dispersed repetitive elements, whereas chromosomal reorganisation was involved in the karyotype formation of C. hellenica. 相似文献

Since 1985, the nonindigenous polychaete species Marenzelleria neglecta has been found in the Baltic Sea. The species, which was introduced by ship ballast water, spreads rapidly and dominates in many habitats today. Using three gene segments of the mitochondrial DNA (16S rDNA, Cytochrom oxidase I, Cytochrom b), we investigated four populations of the western and northern Baltic Sea in a preliminary survey and compared them with four other populations from the North Sea, the Baltic Sea and from the Arctic. First, we could demonstrate the applicability of the markers to discriminate the species with certainty. Second, with M. viridis and M. arctia, we could detect two more species of the same genus, which have recently been introduced into the Baltic Sea. One of these, M. arctia, was hitherto known as an exclusive arctic member of the genus. The impact of these two recently invaded Marenzelleria species onto the autochthonous fauna needs to be evaluated in the future. The Baltic Sea as a ‘natural aquarium’ now offers the possibility to investigate sibling species simultaneously. However, correct identification and denomination of Marenzelleria species are indispensable prerequisites for all future studies. Molecular markers allow the exact identification of all Marenzelleria species and must be used whenever a classical taxonomic identification is uncertain. 相似文献

Caulerpa racemosa var. cylindracea has been invading various types of substrates in wide areas throughout the Mediterranean Sea. However, the effects of the
distribution of this alga on zoobenthos are scanty. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of C. racemosa invasion on the feeding habits of some zoobenthic taxa inhabiting the upper infralittoral rocky shores. This was done by identifying the isotopic N and C ratios of several potential food sources and testing differences in isotope
composition among the taxa collected from areas invaded and not-invaded areas by C. racemosa. Results suggest that C. racemosa detritus was a significant food source for the polychaete Syllis prolifera, the gammarid Corophium sextonae and the gastropods Cerithium rupestre and Pisinna glabrata. They would also suggest that stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios deserve further attention as a possible valuable
approach to understand the overall effect of C. racemosa spread on the trophic interactions among the species. 相似文献

Year-round comprehensive study of fouling of the cooling system of the Vladivostok Heat Power Plant (VTETs-2) was carried out. The seasonal dynamics of pelagic larvae, their settling, and succession of fouling communities on test plates were analyzed in the intake scoop (Ussuriiskii Bay) and in Zolotoi Rog Bay (Amurskii Bay), which are subjected to thermal pollution by dump waters of VTETs-2. It was shown that the barnacles Balanus crenatus, B. improvisus, and B. amphitrite; bivalves Mytilus trossulus and Crassostrea gigas; polychaetes Polydora limicola and Hydroides ezoensis; and ascidians Molgula manhattensis and Diplosoma mitsukurii were background species in the plate fouling. A high correlation between the seasonal dynamics of larval plankton and the settling of spat was recorded only in some species. The total larval density in Zolotoi Rog Bay, despite the critical level of its pollution, more than 4 times exceeded that of the relatively clean Ussuriiskii Bay. The number of recorded species on the test plates was 2 times higher in Ussuriiskii Bay than in Zolotoi Rog Bay; however, the biomass and population density of settled spat of the dominant forms was several times lower in Ussuriiskii Bay. Thanks to thermal pollution, Zolotoi Rog Bay is an intermediate step for the introduction and acclimation of tropical species, such as B. amphitrite and M. manhattensis, brought by long-distance vessels. Measures aimed at the prevention of intensive settling of mytilids in the cooling system of VTETs-2 are suggested. 相似文献

An increase of xenodiversity in plankton and benthos in the eastern Gulf of Finland was observed from 1998 to 2004. Nonindigenous species account for 4.8% of all species found and up to 96% of total biomass. Invasive benthic omnivores, the alien amphipods Gmelinoides fasciatus and Pontogammarus robustoides and the predaceous fish Perccottus glenii with their versatile diets strongly affect the community structure. Invasive sessile seston-feeders that directly (through grazing and water clearance) and indirectly (through recycling of nutrients) interact with other ecosystem components, are mainly represented by the zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha, which affect the structure of benthic and planktonic communities as well as benthic-pelagic coupling. The invasive predatory cladocerans Cercopagis pengoi and Evadne anonyx and larvae of D. polymorpha are only temporary components in the zooplankton, which is limiting their overall effect. Alien benthic bioturbators, the polychaetes Marenzelleria neglecta and the oligochaete Tubificoides pseudogaster account for a high proportion of total abundance and biomass but their effects on native species need further research. 相似文献

Uptake of glycine and release of primary amines by the polychaete Nereis virens (Sars) and the mud snail Hydrobia neglecta Muus was investigated. In a flow system, Nereis virens had a net influx of glycine of 32 to 39 nmol·g?1 fresh wt·h from a 5-μM solution of glycine. Simultaneously, an efflux of primary amines of 14 nmol·g?1·h?1 was measured. The experiments indicated that glycine uptake and release of primary amines are two independent processes. Glycine was absorved by Hydrobia neglecta from 50-μM solutions at an influx of 175 nmol·g?1 organic wt·h?1, and simultaneously, there was an independent efflux of 25 nmol primary amine·g?1·h?1. In the experiments, released primary amines from both species increased the ambient concentration of primary amines, but after various periods of time these concentrations apparently stabilized. Finally, the significance of micro-organisms in amino-acid uptake experiments is considered. 相似文献

Here, we provide baseline information about the relative abundance and group size of the Australian cownose ray Rhinoptera neglecta on the central east coast of Australia. Using drone monitoring over 2 years, we completed 293 transects, each 2 km in length, at four locations distributed along c.100 km of coast. In total, 5979 R. neglecta were observed with overall relative abundance (±SE) of, 20.4 (±3.3) individuals per transect. The numbers of R. neglecta varied among locations, with the highest density found off the beach adjacent to the river mouth at Evans Head. The number of rays observed also decreased with increasing wind speed. While some of this relationship was probably associated with visibility, R. neglecta may also move offshore during strong winds. We found no evidence that R. neglecta was under significant threat. Additionally, our cost-effective surveys demonstrate the utility of aerial drones in fisheries conservation biology. 相似文献
