This book was released on 2023-03-09 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Symbiobiotic) Great Partnership: Clownfish and Sea Anemones Clownfish and sea anemones are a very famous partnership in the ocean. Clownfish take refuge in the anemone's tentacles, and they are immune to the anemone's venom. Instead, the clownfish's slime protects the anemone from herbivores and other potential hazards. This mutually beneficial relationship helps both parties survive and reproduce. The clownfish are safe under the protection of the anemone and can find food in the anemone's tentacles, while the anemone provides nutrients and protection from the clownfish. In addition to a mutually beneficial relationship, this partnership showcases the ecological diversity of nature. Through this cooperative approach, clownfish and sea anemones together form a micro-ecosystem that provides important ecological services to other organisms. What's amazing about this partnership is that the clownfish and sea anemone are so bonded, they're so interdependent on each other. If one of the creatures is threatened or suffers damage, the other will also be affected. This partnership shows us the interaction and interdependence between organisms, which has important implications for our protection and maintenance of the natural environment.

Download or read book Coelenterate Ecology and Behavior written by G.O. Mackie and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 723 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of coelenterates is now one of the most active fields of invertebrate zoology. There are many reasons for this, and not everyone would agree on them, but certain facts stand out fairly clearly. One of them is that many of the people who study coelenterates do so simply because they are interested in the animals for their own sake. This, however, would be true for other invertebrate groups and cannot by itself explain the current boom in coelenterate work. The main reasons for all this activity seem to lie in the considerable concentration of research effort and funding into three broad, general areas of biology: marine ecology, cellular-developmental biology and neurobiology, in all of which coelenterates have a key role to play. They are the dominant organisms, or are involved in an important way, in a variety of marine habitats, of which coral reefs are only one, and this automatically ensures their claims on the attention of ecologists and marine scientists. Secondly, the convenience of hydra and some other hydroids as experimental animals has long made them a natural choice for a variety of studies on growth, nutrition, symbiosis, morphogenesis and sundry aspects of cell biology. Finally, the phylogenetic position of the coelenterates as the lowest metazoans having a nervous system makes them uniquely interesting to those neurobiologists and behaviorists who hope to gain insights into the functioning of higher nervous systems by working up from the lowest level.
Download or read book Behind Anemone Lines Using Omics to Uncover the Mechanisms Involved in the Iconic Symbiosis Between Host Sea Anemones and Anemonefish written by Cassie Hoepner and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anemonefishes and host sea anemones have one of the most well-known and iconic symbiotic relationships. The association between anemonefishes and host sea anemones has existed for at least 12 million years, however, this symbiotic relationship is quite rare, with the 28 different species of anemonefish living symbiotically with only ten out of over 1700 species of sea anemones. Furthermore, it is clear that both host sea anemones and anemonefishes glean significant fitness advantages from their symbiosis, including improved lifespan and potential reproductive success for anemonefishes, and increased nutrients and protection from predators for host sea anemones, however, the mechanism that enables this relationship. i.e., anemonefishes resistance to their toxic host sea anemone, remains unclear. Current research has focused solely on anemonefishes and the potential for their unique mucus layer to provide a form of protection against the toxins in their host sea anemone venom, with very little consideration for the role the host sea anemone itself may play in the establishment of this symbiosis. -- This thesis addresses this significant knowledge gap in our understanding of anemonefishes and host sea anemone symbiosis by exploring the relationship through the lens of the host sea anemone, via five research chapters. Through this body of research, I show that host sea anemones provide additional benefits to their anemonefish symbionts. Chapter 2 examined a previous hypothesis that the symbiotic relationship with toxic host sea anemones reduces the susceptibility of anemonefishes to ectoparasites. I found A. ocellaris living in symbiosis with a host sea anemone in the wild in Malaysia have a reduced ectoparasite load, and in an observational study in Malaysia and the Maldives there was no evidence that anemonefishes visited cleaning stations to remove ectoparasites, which provides further evidence that the sea anemone toxins may aid in protecting anemonefishes from ectoparasites. In Chapter 3 I quantified the nematocyte response of the host Entacmaea quadricolor to A. percula mucus. Acclimated and familiar A. percula trigger significantly fewer nematocytes than unacclimated A. percula, however, there are still some nematocytes fired at A. percula mucus while in association with the sea anemone. In chapter 4, I analysed the lipid and glycan profile of A. percula mucus to reveal that no significant change in lipids composition occurred in mucus collected before, during and after association with an E. quadricolor host, during an eight-week experiment. For the first time this work demonstrates a change of glycan profile in A. percula mucus, however this change only occurred after three weeks of association with E. quadricolor, and within 24 hrs of removal from the E. quadricolor anemone the anemonefish mucus layer had largely reverted back to its original glycan profile. Such a delay in the acclimation of the anemonefish mucus layer is unexpected and further study is needed to uncover the initial mechanism used by anemonefishes that enables them to enter the venomous tentacles of host sea anemones while their mucus layer adapts at the glycan level. In chapter 5, I used a proteotranscriptomics approach to reveal a comprehensive profile of the tentacle transcriptome which results in 2,736 proteins being present in venom from the most popular host anemone E. quadricolor. This work revealed that while E. quadricolor tentacles express RNA transcripts for numerous and diverse toxins only 10% of these are encoded as proteins present in the venom and that the venom mostly consists of mostly non-toxin proteins. In the final chapter, chapter 6, I used differential expression analysis to examine the role E. quadricolor itself plays a role in the establishment of their symbiotic relationship with A. percula, by analysing transcript and protein data from samples collected from E. quadricolor before and after hosting with an anemonefish pair. Specifically, I found that neurotoxin tentacle transcripts and venom proteins responsible for membrane damage, pore formation, and paralysis were downregulated during hosting with anemonefish. I also found that both natural venom inhibitor tentacle transcripts and proteins rich in IG-like domains were upregulated in the presence of anemonefish. -- Overall, this thesis demonstrates that host sea anemones play a much bigger role in the establishment and maintenance of their symbiosis with anemonefishes than previously thought, and by applying novel techniques to century-old questions, this thesis has redefined the research path to uncovering the mechanisms enabling the symbiotic relationship between host sea anemones and anemonefishes. Future research should consider the role of host sea anemone venom inhibitors as a resistance mechanism in symbiotic anemonefishes.
Download or read book Microbial Symbioses written by Sebastien Duperron and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2016-11-30 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plants and animals have evolved ever since their appearance in a largely microbial world. Their own cells are less numerous than the microorganisms that they host and with whom they interact closely. The study of these interactions, termed microbial symbioses, has benefited from the development of new conceptual and technical tools. We are gaining an increasing understanding of the functioning, evolution and central importance of symbiosis in the biosphere. Since the origin of eukaryotic cells, microscopic organisms of our planet have integrated our very existence into their ways of life. The interaction between host and symbiont brings into question the notion of the individual and the traditional representation of the evolution of species, and the manipulation of symbioses facilitates fascinating new perspectives in biotechnology and health. Recent discoveries show that association is one of the main properties of organisms, making a more integrated view of biology necessary. Microbial Symbioses provides a deliberately "symbiocentric outlook, to exhibit how the exploration of microbial symbioses enriches our understanding of life, and the potential future for this discipline. - Offers a concise summary of the most recent discoveries in the field - Shows how symbiosis is acquiring a central role in the biology of the 21st century by transforming our understanding of living things - Presents scientific issues, but also societal and economic related issues (biodiversity, biotechnology) through examples from all branches of the tree of life

Download or read book Symbiosis in Fishes written by Ilan Karplus and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-04-09 with total page 847 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Symbiosis in Fishes provides comprehensive coverage of the biology of partnerships between fishes and invertebrates, ascending the phylogenetic scale, from luminescent bacteria, sponges and coelenterates to molluscs, crustaceans and echinoderms. Both facultative and obligatory partnerships are reviewed with emphasis on the behavioral, ecological and evolutionary aspects of fish symbiosis. Each of the eight chapters of this book focuses on a different group of partners. The structure, physiology and anti-predatory strategies of each group are described to provide the necessary background for the understanding of their partnerships with fishes. The formation of the associations, the degree of partner specificity and its regulation, as well as the benefits and costs for the fishes and their associates, communication between partners and their possible co-evolution are discussed in each chapter. This is the first attempt to critically review in a single volume all associations of fishes with invertebrates based on the latest studies in these areas, together with studies published many years ago and little cited since then. Symbiosis in Fishes provides a huge wealth of information that will be of great use and interest to many life scientists including fish biologists, ecologists, ethologists, aquatic scientists, physiologists and evolutionary biologists. It is hoped that the contents of the book will stimulate many to further research, to fill in the gaps in our knowledge in this fascinating and important subject. Libraries in all universities and research establishments where biological sciences are studied and taught should have copies of this exciting book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a broad panorama of the current status of research of invertebrate animals considered belonging to the phylum Cnidaria, such as hydra, jellyfish, sea anemone, and coral. In this book the Cnidarians are traced from the Earth’s primordial oceans, to their response to the warming and acidifying oceans. Due to the role of corals in the carbon and calcium cycles, various aspects of cnidarian calcification are discussed. The relation of the Cnidaria with Mankind is approached, in accordance with the Editors’ philosophy of bridging the artificial schism between science, arts and Humanities. Cnidarians' encounters with humans result in a broad spectrum of medical emergencies that are reviewed. The final section of the volume is devoted to the role of Hydra and Medusa in mythology and art.
