We investigated evo-devo in the family Ophionereididae, a group dominated by lecithotrophic development through a vitellaria larva. We reared the planktotrophic larvae of Ophionereis fasciata to settlement to determine the metamorphic phenotype. Counter to expectations, O. fasciata did not exhibit type II metamorphosis through a vitellaria, although it did exhibit transient vitellaria-like features. Resorption of the larval arms in the same interradial positions where the ciliary bands form in vitellariae gave them a fleeting vitellaria-like appearance. Development of O. fasciata exhibits heterochronic features in early formation of the skeletal primordium of the third pair (postoral) of larval arms and in the presettlement juvenile early appearance of the juvenile terminal arm plates on external view in parallel with larval arm resorption. Development of the fourth pair (posterodorsal) of larval arms, the last pair to be formed, is plastic, with 44% of larvae exhibiting partial arm growth. Heterochronic traits in development, as seen in O. fasciata, may have facilitated evolution of a lecithotrophic mode of development in Ophionereis. Comparison of the ophiopluteus of O. fasciata and the vestigial pluteus of O. schayeri provided insights into the simplification of larval form from the ancestral (feeding larva) state in Ophionereis. The diverse metamorphic phenotypes in ophiuroids indicate that type I and type II development may not be completely divergent lines of evo-devo and point to selective pressure in the pelagic-benthic transition in the evolution of ophiuroid development.","PeriodicalId":153307,"journal":{"name":"The Biological bulletin","volume":"70 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136023221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kimbara, H. Kohtsuka, and T. Miura explore developmental processes of sucker formation during embryogenesis in two octopus species, Octopus parvus and A. fangsiao. In O. parvus, in which hatchlings are pelagic, sucker formation stops at a relatively early embryonic stage. In contrast, in A. fangsiao, which exhibits a benthic posthatching lifestyle, sucker production continues throughout embryogenesis. These findings suggest that the heterochronic shift of sucker formation processes would result in different types of morphologies that are adapted to the lifestyles of each species.The image of the embryo was obtained using a stereomicroscope. The fluorescent image of suckers, in which nuclei (DNA) and cytoskeletons (F-actin) were stained, respectively, with DAPI (cyan) and rhodamine-phalloidin (red), was obtained using a confocal laser scanning microscope.Credits: Photos: Toru Miura, Misaki Marine Biological Station, University of Tokyo, Japan.

Coral health is greatly dependent on complex interactions between the host animal and its associated microbial symbionts. While relatively understudied, there is growing evidence that the coral microbiome contributes to the health and resilience of corals in a variety of ways, similar to more well-studied systems, such as the human microbiome. Many of these interactions are dependent upon the production and exchange of natural products, including antibacterial compounds, quorum-sensing molecules, internal signaling molecules, nutrients, and so on. While advances in sequencing, culturing, and metabolomic techniques have aided in moving forward the understanding of coral microbiome interactions, current sequence and metabolite databases are lacking, hindering detailed descriptions of the microbes and metabolites involved. This review focuses on the roles of coral microbiomes in health and disease processes of coral hosts, with special attention to the coral metabolome. We discuss what is currently known about the relationship between the coral microbiome and disease, of beneficial microbial products or services, and how the manipulation of the coral microbiome may chemically benefit the coral host against disease. Understanding coral microbiome-metabolome interactions is critical to assisting management, conservation, and restoration strategies.","PeriodicalId":153307,"journal":{"name":"The Biological bulletin","volume":" ","pages":"76-83"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40360252","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Larvae as organisms has been a focal topic in the journal. While papers on insect and vertebrate larvae were common in the early years, recent volumes mainly address marine larvae. In consideration of the 125th anniversary of the journal, I scanned the first 25 volumes, and I also queried Web of Science (Clavariate Analytics) for the topic “larvae” in The Biological Bulletin. The earliest papers are anatomical and behavioral and cover all animal groups (e.g., bowfin embryos, Prather, 1900. Biol. Bull. 1: 57–80; ant larvae, Wheeler, 1900. Biol. Bull. 2: 1–31; zoanthid larvae, Cary, 1904. Biol. Bull. 7: 75–78; geotropism in sea urchin larvae, Lyon, 1906. Biol. Bull. 12: 21–22; heliotropism in shrimp larvae, Lyon, 1906. Biol. Bull. 12: 23–25). My search of the publication “Biological Bulletin” in Web of Science (back to its start in 1965) returned over 4900 titles (not counting meeting abstracts). Adding “larvae” as a topic returned 741 titles, indicating that 15% of all contributions mention larvae. Three articles on marine larvae are among the top 10 most cited titles in the journal. Two are on larval dispersal (Shanks, 2009. Biol. Bull. 216: 373–385 [496 citations] and Scheltema, 1971. Biol. Bull. 140: 284–322 [451 citations]), and a third is on fertilization in the field (Pennington, 1985. Biol. Bull. 169: 417–430 [444 citations]). I will discuss the two papers on larval dispersal for contrast. Scheltema (1971) addresses the possibility that larvae are transported long distances across the ocean and maintain genetic continuity. In particular, he made this argument for some species of gastropods that are found on both sides of the Atlantic. The study maps where larvae of 10 coastal species were found in plankton samples taken at stations all across the northern Atlantic ocean (Scheltema’s figs. 4–12) in both warm-temperate and tropical waters. Although the presence of coastal larvae in open ocean waters","PeriodicalId":153307,"journal":{"name":"The Biological bulletin","volume":" ","pages":"9-11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40360251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
