“…This scenario may apply especially for specialist Zanclea clades. However, a further complication is the presence of host overlap among different clades, which is for instance commonly observed among closely related crustacean symbiont taxa inhabiting the same mushroom coral species (van der Meij et al 2015;Ivanenko et al 2018;Rauch et al 2019). In previous works, no coral genera were found to host more than one Zanclea clade, with the only exception being Acropora spp.…”

Scleractinian corals provide habitats for a broad variety of cryptofauna, which in turn may contribute to the overall functioning of coral symbiomes. Among these invertebrates, hydrozoans belonging to the genus Zanclea represent an increasingly known and ecologically important group of coral symbionts. In this study, we analysed 321 Zanclea colonies associated with 31 coral genera collected from 11 localities across the Indo-Pacific and Caribbean regions, and used a multi-disciplinary approach to shed light on the evolution and biogeography of the group. Overall, we found high genetic diversity of hydrozoans that spans nine clades corresponding to cryptic or pseudo-cryptic species. All but two clades are associated with one or two coral genera belonging to the Complex clade, whereas the remaining ones are generalists associated with both Complex and Robust corals. Despite the observed specificity patterns, no congruence between Zanclea and coral phylogenies was observed, suggesting a lack of coevolutionary events. Most Zanclea clades have a wide distribution across the Indo-Pacific, including a generalist group extending also into the Caribbean, while two host-specific clades are possibly found exclusively in the Red Sea, confirming the importance of this peripheral region as an endemicity hotspot. Ancestral state reconstruction suggests that the most recent common ancestor of all extant coral-associated Zanclea was a specialist species with a perisarc, occurring in what is now known as the Indo-Pacific. Ultimately, a mixture of geography- and host-related diversification processes is likely responsible for the observed enigmatic phylogenetic structure of coral-associated Zanclea.

“…Similar studies of host switching events may show that this phenomenon has occurred several times during in the evolution of symbiotic copepods, as it has among decapod crustacean taxa (Fransen & Hoeksema, 2014;Brinkmann & Fransen, 2016;García-Hernández et al, 2016;Horká et al, 2016;Hoeksema & Fransen, 2017;Hoeksema et al, 2018). The very nature of the specificity of copepods to the host or to the group of hosts requires a thorough sampling program as well as the use of molecular methods (Ivanenko et al, 2018).…”

“…This current state of the knowledge limits analysis of the distribution of symbiotic copepods in the whole Caribbean. Well planned studies of different Caribbean regions and the application of modern methods of integrative taxonomy are needed to carry out such analyses (DeBiasse et al, 2016;Jossart et al, 2017;Ivanenko et al, 2018).…”

This review of copepod crustaceans associated with reef-dwelling cnidarians, sponges and echinoderms of the Greater Caribbean is based on published records, systematically arranged by the classification of symbiotic copepods and their hosts, sampling sites, coordinates, depth and date of sampling, literature sources, and three recent surveys (Cuba, St. Eustatius in the Eastern Caribbean and Curaçao in the Southern Caribbean). This resulted in totals of 532 records of 115 species of symbiotic copepods (47 genera, 17 families, three orders) hosted by 80 species of invertebrates, representing scleractinians (47%), octocorals (9%), echinoderms (3%), and sponges (1%). Among ten Caribbean ecoregions, the Greater Antilles (with 64 species of symbiotic copepods) as well as the Southern and Eastern Caribbean (with 46 and 17 species of copepods, respectively) are the most studied and best represented, whereas only six species of copepods are known from Bermuda, one from Southwestern Caribbean and none from the Gulf of Mexico. The absence of poecilostomatoid copepods (Anchimolgidae, Rhynchomolgidae and Xarifidae) on Caribbean stony corals as noted by Stock (1988) is confirmed. The results indicate that the diversity and ecology of Caribbean symbiotic copepods are still poorly investigated.

“…It is noteworthy that five small shrimp species of the genus Periclimenes show much overlap in their host choice (table 3) and that these hosts belong to various coral genera that form a polyphyletic group within the family Fungiidae (Gittenberger et al, 2011). This indicates that host specificity among these shrimp species is predominantly determined at a high taxonomic level, as also seen in some other crustaceans, like gall crabs (Van der Meij et al, 2015) and copepods (Ivanenko et al, 2018).…”

Most marine palaemonid shrimp species live in symbiosis with invertebrates of various phyla. These associations range from weak epibiosis to obligatory endosymbiosis and from restricted commensalism to semi-parasitism. On coral reefs, such symbiotic shrimps can contribute to the associated biodiversity of reef corals. Among the host taxa, mushroom corals (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Fungiidae) are known to harbour various groups of symbionts, including shrimps. Some but not all of these associated species are host-specific. Because data on the host specificity of shrimps on mushroom corals are scarce, shrimp species of the genus Periclimenes were collected from mushroom corals during fieldwork in Lembeh Strait, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Using molecular (COI barcoding gene) and morphological methods, three species of Periclimenes were identified: P. diversipes, P. watamuae and a species new to science, P. subcorallum sp. nov., described herein. Their host specificity was variable, with eight, three and two fungiid host records, respectively. It is concluded that shrimp species of the genus Periclimenes show much overlap in their host choice and that particular morphological traits in the host species appear to play a more important role than phylogenetic affinities within the host group.
