We hypothesize that winning species inherently allocate more energy toward inorganic growth (calcification) compared to somatic (tissue) growth. In contrast, we found that losing species that show a higher biomass under reference p CO 2 experienced a loss in biomass and variable response in area-specific ETSA that did not translate in an increase in biomass-specific ETSA following either short-term (4–5 months) or even life-long acclimation to elevated p CO 2 conditions. Our results suggest that resistance to ocean acidification in corals may not be acquired within a single generation or through the selection of physiologically resistant individuals. This reinforces current evidence suggesting that ocean acidification will reshape coral communities around the world, selecting species that have an inherent resistance to elevated p CO 2 .\n

\n Abstract Ocean acidification is one of the most dramatic effects of the massive atmospheric release of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) that has occurred since the Industrial Revolution, although its effects on marine ecosystems are not well understood. Submarine volcanic hydrothermal fields have geochemical conditions that provide opportunities to characterise the effects of elevated levels of seawater CO 2 on marine life in the field. Here, we review the geochemical aspects of shallow marine CO 2 -rich seeps worldwide, focusing on both gas composition and water chemistry. We then describe the geochemical effects of volcanic CO 2 seepage on the overlying seawater column. We also present new geochemical data and the first synthesis of marine biological community changes from one of the best-studied marine CO 2 seep sites in the world (off Vulcano Island, Sicily). In areas of intense bubbling, extremely high levels of pCO 2 (\\textgreater 10,000 μatm) result in low seawater pH (\\textless 6) and undersaturation of aragonite and calcite in an area devoid of calcified organisms such as shelled molluscs and hard corals. Around 100–400 m away from the Vulcano seeps the geochemistry of the seawater becomes analogous to future ocean acidification conditions with dissolved carbon dioxide levels falling from 900 to 420 μatm as seawater pH rises from 7.6 to 8.0. Calcified species such as coralline algae and sea urchins fare increasingly well as sessile communities shift from domination by a few resilient species (such as uncalcified algae and polychaetes) to a diverse and complex community (including abundant calcified algae and sea urchins) as the seawater returns to ambient levels of CO 2 . Laboratory advances in our understanding of species sensitivity to high CO 2 and low pH seawater, reveal how marine organisms react to simulated ocean acidification conditions (e.g., using energetic trade-offs for calcification, reproduction, growth and survival). Research at volcanic marine seeps, such as those off Vulcano, highlight consistent ecosystem responses to rising levels of seawater CO 2 , with the simplification of food webs, losses in functional diversity and reduced provisioning of goods and services for humans.\n

To understand how the rhythmic activity in motor circuits is acquired during development of protochordate\n              Ciona\n              , we investigated the coordination of the motor response by identifying a single pair of oscillatory motor neurons (MN2/A10.64).

The Ca\n              2+\n              oscillation of MN2 coincided with the early tail flick (ETF). The spikes of the membrane potential in MN2 gradually correlated with the rhythm of ipsilateral muscle contractions in ETFs. The optogenetic experiments indicated that MN2 is a necessary and sufficient component of ETFs. These results indicate that MN2 is indispensable for the early spontaneous rhythmic motor behavior of\n              Ciona\n              . Our findings shed light on the understanding of development and evolution of chordate rhythmical locomotion.},\n\tlanguage = {en},\n\tnumber = {50},\n\turldate = {2022-01-25},\n\tjournal = {Science Advances},\n\tauthor = {Akahoshi, Taichi and Utsumi, Madoka K. and Oonuma, Kouhei and Murakami, Makoto and Horie, Takeo and Kusakabe, Takehiro G. and Oka, Kotaro and Hotta, Kohji},\n\tmonth = dec,\n\tyear = {2021},\n\tpages = {eabl6053},\n}\n\n

Large-scale replacement of kelp forests and coral reefs with turf algal mats is resulting in homogenous habitats that have less ecological and human value. Ocean acidification has strong potential to substantially favour turf algae growth, which led us to examine the mechanisms that stabilise turf algal states. Here we show that ocean acidification promotes turf algae over corals and macroalgae, mediating new habitat conditions that create stabilising feedback loops (altered physicochemical environment and microbial community, and an inhibition of recruitment) capable of locking turf systems in place. Such feedbacks help explain why degraded coastal habitats persist after being initially pushed past the tipping point by global and local anthropogenic stressors. An understanding of the mechanisms that stabilise degraded coastal habitats can be incorporated into adaptive management to better protect the contribution of coastal systems to human wellbeing.},\n\tlanguage = {en},\n\tnumber = {1},\n\turldate = {2021-07-27},\n\tjournal = {Communications Biology},\n\tauthor = {Harvey, Ben P. and Allen, Ro and Agostini, Sylvain and Hoffmann, Linn J. and Kon, Koetsu and Summerfield, Tina C. and Wada, Shigeki and Hall-Spencer, Jason M.},\n\tmonth = dec,\n\tyear = {2021},\n\tpages = {219},\n}\n\n

In the present study, we characterize the innervation and phenotypes of genetically modified\n              Ciona\n              :\n              CiVP\n              promoter-Venus transgenic and\n              CiVP\n              mutants.\n              CiVP\n              promoter-Venus transgenic\n              Ciona\n              demonstrated that\n              CiVP\n              gene was highly expressed in the cerebral ganglion and several nerves. Fluorescence was also detected in the ovary of young\n              CiVP\n              promoter-Venus transgenic ascidians, suggesting that the\n              CiVP\n              gene is also expressed temporarily in the ovary of young ascidians. Furthermore, a marked decrease of post-vitellogenic (stage III) follicles was observed in the ovary of\n              CiVP\n              mutants, whereas pre-vitellogenic (stage I) and vitellogenic (stage II) follicles were increased in the mutant ovary, compared with that of wildtype\n              Ciona\n              . Gene expression profiles showed that the expression of various genes, including genes related to ovarian follicle growth, was altered in the ovary of\n              CiVP\n              mutants. Altogether, these results indicated that CiVP, mainly as a neuropeptide, plays pivotal roles in diverse biological functions, including growth of early-stage ovarian follicles\n              via\n              regulation of the expression of a wide variety of genes. This is the first report describing a\n              VP\n              gene promoter-transgenic and\n              VP\n              gene-edited invertebrate and also on its gene expression profiles and phenotypes.},\n\turldate = {2021-08-06},\n\tjournal = {Frontiers in Endocrinology},\n\tauthor = {Kawada, Tsuyoshi and Shiraishi, Akira and Matsubara, Shin and Hozumi, Akiko and Horie, Takeo and Sasakura, Yasunori and Satake, Honoo},\n\tmonth = may,\n\tyear = {2021},\n\tpages = {668564},\n}\n\n

This subunit contains a BLUF (sensors of blue light using FAD) domain that appears to directly modulate dynein activity in response to light. DYBLUP (dynein-associated BLUF protein) mediates the connection between the f/I1 motor domain and the tether complex that links the motor to the doublet microtubule.\n              Chlamydomonas\n              lacking the DYBLUP ortholog shows both positive and negative phototaxis but becomes acclimated and attracted to high-intensity blue light.

The latter two comprise two and five clades, respectively. In Trichoplax and Hoilungia, previous studies on six haplotypes belonging to four different clades have shown that their mtDNAs are circular chromosomes of 32–43 kb in size, which encode 12 protein-coding genes, 24 tRNAs, and two rRNAs. These mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) also show unique features rarely seen in other metazoans, including open reading frames (ORFs) of unknown function, and group I and II introns. Here, we report seven new mitogenomes, covering the five previously described haplotypes H2, H17, H19, H9, and H11, as well as two new haplotypes, H23 (clade III) and H24 (clade VII). The overall gene content is shared between all placozoan mitochondrial genomes, but genome sizes, gene orders, and several exon–intron boundaries vary among clades. Phylogenomic analyses strongly support a tree topology different from previous 16S rRNA analyses, with clade VI as the sister group to all other Hoilungia clades. We found small inverted repeats in all 13 mitochondrial genomes of the Trichoplax and Hoilungia genera and evaluated their distribution patterns among haplotypes. Because Polyplacotoma mediterranea (H0), the sister to the remaining haplotypes, has a small mitochondrial genome with few small inverted repeats and ORFs, we hypothesized that the proliferation of inverted repeats and ORFs substantially contributed to the observed increase in the size and GC content of the Trichoplax and Hoilungia mitochondrial genomes.},\n\tlanguage = {en},\n\tnumber = {1},\n\turldate = {2021-07-27},\n\tjournal = {Genome Biology and Evolution},\n\tauthor = {Miyazawa, Hideyuki and Osigus, Hans-Jürgen and Rolfes, Sarah and Kamm, Kai and Schierwater, Bernd and Nakano, Hiroaki},\n\teditor = {Milani, Liliana},\n\tmonth = jan,\n\tyear = {2021},\n\tpages = {evaa213},\n}\n\n

In\n              Ciona\n              ,\n              hedgehog.b\n              , one of the two\n              hedgehog\n              genes, is expressed in the floor plate of the embryonic neural tube, while none of the\n              hedgehog\n              genes are expressed in the notochord. We have identified a\n              cis\n              -regulatory region of\n              hedgehog.b\n              that was sufficient to drive a reporter gene expression in the floor plate. The\n              hedgehog.b cis\n              -regulatory region also drove ectopic expression of the reporter gene in the endodermal strand, suggesting that the floor plate and the endodermal strand share a part of their gene regulatory programs. The endodermal strand occupies the same topographic position of the embryo as does the vertebrate hypochord, which consists of a row of single cells lined up immediately ventral to the notochord. The hypochord shares expression of several genes with the floor plate, including\n              Shh\n              and\n              FoxA\n              , and play a role in dorsal aorta development. Whole-embryo single-cell transcriptome analysis identified a number of genes specifically expressed in both the floor plate and the endodermal strand in\n              Ciona\n              tailbud embryos. A\n              Ciona\n              FoxA ortholog FoxA.a is shown to be a candidate transcriptional activator for the midline gene battery. The present findings suggest an ancient evolutionary origin of a common developmental program for the midline structures in Olfactores.},\n\turldate = {2021-08-06},\n\tjournal = {Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology},\n\tauthor = {Oonuma, Kouhei and Yamamoto, Maho and Moritsugu, Naho and Okawa, Nanako and Mukai, Megumi and Sotani, Miku and Tsunemi, Shuto and Sugimoto, Haruka and Nakagome, Eri and Hasegawa, Yuichi and Shimai, Kotaro and Horie, Takeo and Kusakabe, Takehiro G.},\n\tmonth = jun,\n\tyear = {2021},\n\tpages = {704367},\n}\n\n

\n Abstract Background Light is essential for various biological activities. In particular, visual information through eyes or eyespots is very important for most of animals, and thus, the functions and developmental mechanisms of visual systems have been well studied to date. In addition, light-dependent non-visual systems expressing photoreceptor Opsins have been used to study the effects of light on diverse animal behaviors. However, it remains unclear how light-dependent systems were acquired and diversified during deuterostome evolution due to an almost complete lack of knowledge on the light-response signaling pathway in Ambulacraria, one of the major groups of deuterostomes and a sister group of chordates. Results Here, we show that sea urchin larvae utilize light for digestive tract activity. We found that photoirradiation of larvae induces pyloric opening even without addition of food stimuli. Micro-surgical and knockdown experiments revealed that this stimulating light is received and mediated by Go(/RGR)-Opsin (Opsin3.2 in sea urchin genomes) cells around the anterior neuroectoderm. Furthermore, we found that the anterior neuroectodermal serotoninergic neurons near Go-Opsin-expressing cells are essential for mediating light stimuli-induced nitric oxide (NO) release at the pylorus. Our results demonstrate that the light\\textgreaterGo-Opsin\\textgreaterserotonin\\textgreaterNO pathway functions in pyloric opening during larval stages. Conclusions The results shown here will lead us to understand how light-dependent systems of pyloric opening functioning via neurotransmitters were acquired and established during animal evolution. Based on the similarity of nervous system patterns and the gut proportions among Ambulacraria, we suggest the light\\textgreaterpyloric opening pathway may be conserved in the clade, although the light signaling pathway has so far not been reported in other members of the group.
