Asexual reproduction of the doliolid, Dolioletta gegenbauri Uljanin (Tunicata, Thaliacea)
In the aquatic realm, asexual reproduction is rare in most phyla. However, it is common among protozoa, coelenterata (e.g. Hydroid polyps budding medusae), cladocera (e.g. parthenogenesis of Daphnia sp.), and among tunicates (thaliacea). Salps alternate between sexual and asexual reproduction (metagenesis), and doliolids have two asexual and one sexual stage in their lifecycle (Paffenhöfer and ...
متن کاملA salp bloom (Tunicata, Thaliacea) along the Apulian coast and in the Otranto Channel between March-May 2013
Between March-May 2013 a massive Salpa maxima bloom was recorded by a citizen science study along the Ionian and Adriatic coast of the Salento peninsula (Italy). Citizen records were substantiated with field inspections along the coast and during an oceanographic campaign in the Otranto Channel. Salps clogged nets, impairing fishing activities along the coast. Swimmers were scared by the gelati...
متن کاملSummertime grazing impact of the dominant macrozooplankton off the Western Antarctic Peninsula
The Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) is a region of rapid climate change that is altering plankton community structure. To investigate how these changes may impact carbon and energy transfer in the pelagic food web, grazing rates of the five dominant macrozooplankton species (euphausiids Euphausia superba, Euphausia crystallorophias, and Thysanöessa macrura; the pteropod Limacina helicina, and...
متن کاملA 40-Year Climatology of Extratropical Transition in the Eastern North Pacific
A 42-yr study of eastern North Pacific tropical cyclones (TCs) undergoing extratropical transition (ET) is presented using the Japanese 55-yr Reanalysis dataset. By using cyclone phase space (CPS) to differentiate those TCs that undergo ET from those that do not, it is found that only 9% of eastern North Pacific TCs that developed from 1971 to 2012 complete ET, compared with 40% in the North At...

Well-preserved miospore assemblages are recorded from the Late Ordovician (Katian-Hirnantian), Ghelli Formation in Pelmis-gorge at the north-eastern Alborz Mountain The palynomorphs were extracted from siliciclastic deposits which are well-dated by using of marine palynomorphs (acritarchs and chitinozoans). The encountered miospore assemblages consist of 14 genera (28 species: 26 cryptospores a...
