The pulsation of the stolon coenosarc of the colonial hydroid Dynamena pumila (L., 1758) was recorded using time-lapse microvideo recording. The study included several experiments: control (without air exposure) and a series of consecutive air exposure periods: 5, 10, 20, 30 min and 1 h. In general, comparison of the experiments with same colony in control and in a series of air exposure periods up to 30 min demonstrated no significant changes in the coenosarc pulsations and the hydroplasmic flow. Air exposure for 20 and 30 min caused a decrease in the amplitude of growth pulsations, and in growth increment by more than a third. The limit of permissible air exposure for D. pumila colonies is between 10 and 20 min. Such a short air exposure period does not lead to disruption of the distribution system and the growth of the growing tips, and therefore can be used in laboratory studies of colonies. A longer air exposure period, namely one hour, is critical for the colony, since it leads to disruption of its structure integrity. Tissue degradation occurs, and the inner contents begin to pour out through the holes in the burst perisarc of the growing tip.","PeriodicalId":37977,"journal":{"name":"Invertebrate Zoology","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83322404","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}

However, the planktonic stages in brachiopod ontogeny still do not have special names. Here we propose names for all planktonic stages of extant brachiopods. The chaetotrocha is a larva consisting of a round anterior lobe with a ciliary band and a body with three pairs of larval setae bundles. Lecithotrophic chaetotrocha is a larva of extant Craniiformea. The cephalula is a larva divided into the anterior lobe bearing the apical ciliary tuft and a marginal ciliary band, a mantle lobe with larval setal bundles, and a pedicle lobe. Lecithotrophic cephalula is the only larval stage of recent Rhynchonelliformea. The development of Discinidae includes three planktonic stages succeeding each other. The first is the cephalula. Second developmental stage of Discinidae is the chaetolopha with a rudimentary lophophore and larval spinose setae. The third stage of discinid development is the tegulolopha with a lophophore and a shell. The only planktonic stage of extant Lingulidae is the tegulolopha.

The obtained results indicate the relative youth of the recent fauna of Tavrida Cave, despite Eopleistocene age cave, and have a significant faunal value, since a number of discovered species are specified for the first time for the Crimea and Russia.
