通过核糖体18S rDNA探讨柳珊瑚分子系统发育关系

通过对南海3种柳珊瑚的18SrDNA序列的测序,结合Genebank中搜索到的其他26种柳珊瑚的18SrDNA序列,构建了NJ和MP系统发育树,结果表明柳珊瑚可分为两个类群,系统树清楚表明了钙轴珊瑚类群的系统发育关系,但未能很好反映全轴珊瑚类群的系统发育关系。钙轴珊瑚类群的系统发育关系较为清晰,其中枝鳃珊瑚科(Dendrobrachiidae)、红珊瑚科(Coralliidae)和拟柳珊瑚科(Paragorgiidae)的遗传关系非常紧密,三爪珊瑚科(Briareidae)、鞭柳珊瑚科(Ellisellidae)和Erythropodiumcaribaeorum分类地位还待商榷,需要选取更多的样品构建系统树才能弄清楚它们准确的分类地位。全轴珊瑚类群的系统关系非常混乱,可见18SrDNA并不能提供有效的遗传信息,这就需要寻求其他遗传标记来解决全轴珊瑚类群的系统关系。     

鳞侧尖柳珊瑚Paracis squamata(Nutting,1910)(八放珊瑚亚纲:丛柳珊瑚科)的形态学和系统发育研究

2014年自雅浦海沟附近的一座海山通过水下无人遥控潜水器获得3株八放珊瑚样本,通过对其珊瑚虫和骨片观察,并结合线粒体错配修复蛋白基因(mtMutS)的测序分析,进行了分类学和系统发育研究。结果显示,3株八放珊瑚均为鳞侧尖柳珊瑚Paracis squamata (Nutting,1910)。该物种主要特征为具有鳞片状的萼部骨片和无规则板状的共肉组织外层骨片。在基于mtMutS基因构建的系统发育树中,鳞侧尖柳珊瑚与侧尖柳珊瑚未定种(Paracis sp.)以高置信度聚在一起,侧尖柳珊瑚属(Paracis)和鳞尖柳珊瑚属(Lepidomuricea)以高支持率形成姐妹枝。本文对鳞侧尖柳珊瑚的形态学特征进行了全面研究,首次描述了共肉组织内层骨片的特征,揭示侧尖柳珊瑚属与鳞尖柳珊瑚属具有较近的亲缘关系。

Molecular phylogeny of the families Pleuronectidae and Poecilopsettidae (PISCES,Pleuronectiformes) from Korea,with a Proposal for a new classification

A new classification of the Korean pleuronectids was proposed based on a molecular phylogeny using specimens collected from Korea (including some Japanese specimens) between 2008 and 2013. A molecular phylogeny based on partial sequences of the two mitochondrial DNA regions (COI and 16S rRNA) supported the reciprocal monophyly of the three genera, Cleisthenes, Pleuronectes and Pseudopleuronectes. We also found that the genus Poecilopsetta is clearly distinct from Pleuronectidae at the family level. Therefore, the previous classification of the Korean pleuronectids should be changed as follows; two families (Pleuronectidae and Poecilopsettidae), 18 genera, and 26 species. Further research is required to resolve the taxonomic uncertainty of the five species in the genus Limanda, which clustered into two clades in our analysis.     

柳珊瑚4种不同DNA提取方法的比较研究

通过2种样品前处理方式和4种不同的DNA提取方法相结合,提取橘色刺柳珊瑚(Echinogoria aurantiaca)基因组DNA,并对其18S rRNA基因进行了克隆和测序。实验结果表明,对于2种样品前处理方式,采用纯酒精进行样品前处理比PBS(磷酸缓冲液)进行样品前处理效果要好。在4种不同的DNA提取方法中,以CTAB(十六烷基三甲基溴化铵)法提取基因组DNA效果最好,其余3种方法如PVP(聚乙烯基吡咯烷酮)法、高盐法和酚/氯仿法的提取效果较差。并且不同样品的钙质沉淀对DNA都有一定程度的吸附。最后,通过PCR扩增、克隆测序得到橘色刺柳珊瑚18S rRNA基因序列(AY962532)。BLAST软件进行序列比对表明橘色刺柳珊瑚与弱柳珊瑚(Leptogorgia chilensis)的18S rRNA基因(AF052928)同源性最高,为98.79%。     

Culture,demography and biogeography of sponge science: From past conferences to strategic research?

Perceived changes in the culture of sponge science and sponge conferences served as motivation for an evaluation of the sponge science community and research, over time and at present. Observed changes included a decrease in proceedings publications on sponge fossils and freshwater sponges, sponges from temperate environments, review papers and data syntheses, frequency of aquarium studies, and number of species investigated per publication. Publications on recent sponges, hexactinellids, calcareans, marine, Indo‐Pacific and warm‐water sponges increased, as well as the number of authors per publication and the proportion of field studies. Studies at the level of specimens and ultrastructure were gradually replaced by molecular approaches, but studies at the community level remained stable. The five sub‐disciplines morphology/taxonomy, phylogeny/evolution, physiology, ecology and faunistics also retained about equal proportions over time. Conference publications related to taxonomy, phylogeny and biodiversity prevailed, whereas those on management and conservation were rare, possibly because studies on sponge recovery, survival and mortality were also scarce. The community of sponge scientists has grown and become more diverse over time, presently representing 72 nations. The gender distribution evened out since the first sponge conference and presently favours women at early and men at late career stages. Although stated research interests are generally dominated by physiology and ecology, taxonomy and evolution are favoured after retirement. Sponge science has become more dynamic, but maybe also more competitive and less inclusive. We now face the dual challenge of safeguarding against the loss of some sub‐disciplines, and fostering the collaborative, helpful culture characteristic of sponge science.

Molecular phylogeny of the genus Clibanarius(Decapoda: Anomura: Diogenidae) based on mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences

Clibanarius , a genus of hermit crabs, is one of the most diverse genera within Diogenidae. However, studies on the phylogeny within Clibanarius is very limited. We reconstruct the molecular phylogeny of the genus Clibanarius based on two mitochondrial (16S rRNA and COI) and two nuclear protein-coding (NaK and PEPCK) genes using a multigene phylogenetic approach. Eleven selected Clibanarius species from the Indo-West Pacifi c are analyzed and the Bayesian and maximum likelihood analyses produced identical results in topology. Results suggest that C . rutilus and C . infraspinatus are more closely related to each other than to C . snelliusi , and C . striolatus shows a close relationship to C . longitarsus . The close association of C . merguiensis with C . englaucus and C . humilis is strongly supported by the divergence of C . virescens from them. Our phylogenetic results contradict the morphological classifi cation scheme proposed for Clibanarius and indicate that the relative length of dactyls and propodi is not phylogenetically signifi cant in Clibanarius . In addition, we speculate that the morphological characteristic of the median cleft of the telson might be phylogenetically important for Clibanarius .     

mtDNA COI基因在轮虫分子系统重建中的意义

为分析mtDNA COI基因在轮虫分子系统重建中的作用．扩增并测定了B．calyciflorus和B．quadridentatus mtDNA COI基因部分序列。通过对扩增序列和Genbank中其它轮虫序列进行比较分析．发现COI序列包含丰富的遗传信息。利用Kimura双参数法计算遗传距离，在属和物种水平上间存在不同程度的遗传分化。利用NJ和MP法构建基因树。各物种形成独立进化枝．在属、科水平上与传统分类结果基本一致．这说明COI在轮虫系统重建中具有重要意义。在种内不同的单元型之间存在着遗传差异，部分种类不同地理种群之间存在较大的遗传变异．因此在系统重建过程中要注意种内多态的影响。     

褐藻纲海带目Laminaria属和Saccharina属基于三个分子标记的系统发育分析

In the past two decades, many studies have focused on the classification within genus Laminaria, ultimately trying to divide it into two subgroups or genera: Laminaria and Saccharina. A significant debate still surrounds the question of its division, as the conflicting phylogenetic hypotheses that have resulted from the classification studies are based on different taxon sampling, molecular markers, or analysis methods. It is aimed at elucidate the molecular phylogeny within Laminaria and Saccharina. The nine species of Laminariales are sampled from northern Asia and Europe, and 23 new sequences in the nuclear, plastid, and mitochondrial genomes are determined to identify their taxonomic status. The phylogenetic analyses of 71 species are performed, including representatives from six of the seven families of the order Laminariales, based on three separate data sets. An evidence is provided to strongly support a clear split that maintains the two recognized genera, Laminaria and Saccharina, with Laminaria appearing to be the ancestor group. Further, analyses indicate that all taxa in Saccharina and Laminaria did not form a monophyletic lineage, instead Laminariaceae and Lessoniaceae grouped together interlacedly, and Costariaceae appeared as the sister taxon of the Lessoniaceae–Laminariaceae clade. In the phylogenetic analysis, mitochondrial c oxidase I(COI) sequences appeared to be the most credible molecular marker which was more befitting than nuclear encoded internal transcribed spacer(ITS) and plastid encoded rbcL for establishment of Laminariales systematics. It is the most comprehensive phylogeny of the order Laminariales, and contributes to an enhanced understanding and estimation of the phylogenetic relationships for the economically important seaweeds, Laminaria and Saccharina.     

Temporal variability of sedimentation rates and mobile fauna inside and outside a gorgonian garden

Paramuricea clavata (Cnidaria, Octocorallia) is an important ecosystem engineer of coralligenous assemblages increasingly threatened by anthropogenic activities and climate changes. As climate warming is predicted to continue in the coming years it is important to hypothesize future scenarios. Here we tested the influence of gorgonian colonies on sedimentation rates and vagile fauna trends, comparing sediments collected by traps inside and outside a gorgonian garden, in a coralligenous community of the Western Ligurian Sea, at 32 m depth, over a period of 1 year. The results indicated that sea fans created a sort of homeostatic effect on the surrounding habitat. We found evidence that where gorgonian colonies were present, the monthly fluctuations of sediments rate were lower than outside a garden. Gorgonian colonies also influenced the distribution of the associated vagile fauna; these organisms were generally more abundant inside than outside the garden. The data collected in this work appear to confirm the role of P. clavata as an ecosystem engineer, affecting biomass and variability of the surrounding habitat at both spatial and temporal scales.
