Two new species of Asellota (Crustacea, Isopoda) from coral reefs on Iriomote Island, Okinawa, Japan
Pleurocope iriomotensis sp. n. and Prethura tuberculata sp. n. are described from Iriomote Island, Ryukyu Archipelago, southern Japan. These are the first records of Pleurocope from the Pacific and of Prethura from the Asian Pacific coast. Pleurocope iriomotensis differs from its congeners in having lateral spine-like processes on pereonite 4 and coxal plates of pereonite 7. Prethura tuberculat...
متن کاملOsmotic and hydraulic adjustment of mangrove saplings to extreme salinity.
Salinity tolerance in plant species varies widely due to adaptation and acclimation processes at the cellular and whole-plant scales. In mangroves, extreme substrate salinity induces hydraulic failure and ion excess toxicity and reduces growth and survival, thus suggesting a potentially critical role for physiological acclimation to salinity. We tested the hypothesis that osmotic adjustment, a ...
متن کاملIndoapseudes bamberi sp. nov. (Crustacea: Tanaidacea: Pagurapseudidae: Hodometricinae) from Iriomote Island, Ryukyu Islands, southwestern Japan.
We describe Indoapseudes bamberi sp. nov., based on a specimen from Funaura Bay, Iriomote Island, Japan. This species can be distinguished from its five congeners by having the combination of the antenna with a squama and pereopods 1 and 2 with one dorsal spine on the basis. We also determined part of the nucleotide sequence for the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene in I. bamberi, and p...
متن کاملLong-term effects of destruction of hermatypic corals by Acanthasterplanci infestation on reef fish communities at Iriomote Island, Japan
Long-term changes in structure of fish communities on coral reefs infested by the coralfeeding starfish Acanthasterplanci were determined using 20 mZ visual transects. We censused a living coral reef consisting mainly of staghorn Acropora spp. at Saluyama Bay and a dead coral reef with low structural complexlty of coral branches (about 2 yr after A. planci infestation) at Amitori Bay, Iriomote ...
متن کاملBioprospecting potential of fast growing endophytic bacteria from leaves of mangrove and salt-marsh plant species
In the present study, bioprospecting aspects of endophytic bacteria, isolated from leaves of 5 mangroves and 2 salt-marsh plant species, were explored. In total, 104 bacterial isolates were isolated from the leaf samples of mangrove plants of Pichavaram, Tamil Nadu. Thirty six fast growing isolates were selected and screened for biological activities. Of 36 isolates, 28 (77%) showed antimicrobi...
