“…Doing this would probably add resolution to the base of the phylogenetic tree. One of the markers used by Zanol et al (2010Zanol et al ( , 2014 for eunicid phylogeny is 18S ribosomal RNA (18S rRNA). However, examination of the 18S rRNA sequences from these studies deposited in Genbank revealed that they were all identical and thus would be too conserved to resolve phylogenetic relationships within Palola.…”

“…Trees were sampled every 100 generations from the posterior distribution after the burn-in period and a 50% majority rule consensus tree was generated. Leodice antennata was chosen as the outgroup based on the analyses by Zanol et al (2010Zanol et al ( , 2014. Additional eunicid taxa representing Lysidice, Nicidion and Marphysa were included to test the monophyly of Palola.…”

“…Due to this simplified morphology, not many features are available for species-level identification, since many of the characters commonly used in other eunicids, such as the shape, coloration and onset of the subacicular hooks or the branching pattern of the branchiae along the body, are inapplicable. According to the recent molecular phylogenetic analyses by Zanol et al (2010Zanol et al ( , 2014, Palola is monophyletic within Eunicidae.…”

“…The type locality for this species is Sicily but no tissues useable for DNA sequencing are currently available from there. The only Palola specimen from the Mediterranean Sea that has been sequenced to date is from Catalonia (Zanol et al 2010) and falls into species group B. No ventral eyespots have ever been mentioned for P. siciliensis although the species does produce epitokes (Hofmann 1972(Hofmann , 1974(Hofmann , 1975.…”

Six genetically distinct clades of Palola (Eunicidae, Annelida) from Lizard Island, Great Barrier Reef, Australia

A total of 36 lots of Palola spp. (Eunicidae, Annelida) were collected during the Lizard Island Polychaete Workshop on Lizard Island, Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia. Of these, 21 specimens were sequenced for a portion of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I gene. These sequences were analysed in conjunction with existing sequences of Palola spp. from other geographic regions. The samples from Lizard Island form six distinct clades, although none of them can clearly be assigned to any of the nominal species. Four of the six Lizard Island clades fall into species group A and the remaining two into species group B (which also includes the type species, Palola viridis). All sequenced specimens were characterized morphologically as far as possible and a dichotomous key was assembled. Based on this key, the remaining samples were identified as belonging to one of the clades.

“…Phylogenetic hypotheses, implied by cladograms, are inferred for sets of sequence data, and via those diagrams various conclusions are drawn regarding the evolution of morphological traits (cf. Halanych et al, 2001;Bleidorn et al, 2003;Hall et al, 2004;Halanych, 2005;Rousset et al, 2006;Schulze, 2006;Struck et al, 2007;Colgan et al, 2008;Kupriyanova and Rouse, 2008;Wiklund et al, 2008;Vrijenhoek et al, 2009;Zanol et al, 2010;Struck et al, 2011;Magesh et al, 2012;Goto et al, 2013). Interestingly, the inverse-obtaining transformation series via the mapping of nucleotides on cladograms inferred from 'morphological' characters-is never considered.…”

Character mapping and cladogram comparison versus the requirement of total evidence: does it matter for polychaete systematics?

Fitzhugh, K. 2014. Character mapping and cladogram comparison versus the requirement of total evidence: does it matter for polychaete systematics? Memoirs of Museum Victoria 71: 67-78.The practice of partitioning data for the inferences of phylogenetic hypotheses has become a routine practice in biological systematics. Two popular approaches: (i) mapping 'morphological' characters onto 'molecular' phylogenies, and (ii) comparing 'morphological' and 'molecular' phylogenies, are examined in light of what is known as the requirement of total evidence. Inferences of phylogenetic hypotheses, indeed all taxa, occur by a type of non-deductive reasoning known as abduction. The intent of abduction is to offer at least tentative causal accounts that explain character data. The rational acceptance of abductively derived hypotheses is subject to conditions of the requirement of total evidence as a matter of the evidential support for those hypotheses. It is shown that both character mapping and comparisons of cladograms using partitioned datasets are procedures that severely reduce the credibility of phylogenetic hypotheses. This problem is alleviated by acknowledging the formal structure of the why-questions we ask in relation to character data, for which phylogenetic hypotheses serve as answers.

Homology of prostomial and pharyngeal structures in eunicida (Annelida) based on innervation and morphological similarities

Eunicidan bristle worm families are commonly identified by the shape of their prostomia and pharyngeal structures. However, current hypotheses of homology among these structures are conflicting, making it difficult to assess morphological evolution, reconstruct phylogeny, and produce a stable classification. To generate more consistent hypotheses of homology among eunicidan anterior structures, the author examined the anterior morphology and the nervous system stained with anti-alpha-tubulin and serotonin antibodies in representative species of Eunicidae, Onuphidae, Oenonidae, Dorvilleidae and Lumbrineridae. The shape of the brain varied conspicuously among families; however, it has mostly the same commissures (usually two of the dorsal and five of the ventral roots of the circumoesophageal connective). The stomatogastric system is also conservative in composition, having two main pairs of stomatogastric nerves which vary in their relative position among the different families. Innervation similarities combined with correspondence and topological morphological similarities made it possible to present explicit hypotheses of primary homology of features, such as buccal lips, pharyngeal fold, and dorsolateral fold anterior extension. Buccal lips are present in all families; however, ventral pads on the prostomium of the Dorvillea line of Dorvilleidae are anterior prolongations of the pharyngeal fold and not buccal lips. All examined taxa, except dorvilleid species, have conspicuous dorsolateral fold anterior extension. In Eunicidae, this anterior extension is a transverse band, while in other families it is a pair of folds. Observed similarities also gave insights on the homology of maxillary elements of Dorvilleidae, providing background knowledge for future studies.
