RESUMO

The fine structure of echiurid blood vessels in the proboscis is known in detail, but the circulatory system of the trunk is still understood mainly at the level of general anatomy. The trunk circulatory system was studied in Bonellia viridis females, and specialized podocytes were found to form the walls of the ring vessel and the anterior part of the ventral vessel. Podocytes were for the first time described in the echiurid circulatory system. Podocytes of B. viridis displayed a typical cell architecture, which is known for other bilaterians. A podocyte consists of a cell body; primary processes; and pedicels, which extend from the primary processes and are interconnected via specialized slit diaphragms. The presence of podocytes indicates that the ventral and ring vessels act as ultrafiltration sites, where the plasma is filtered through the basal lamina into the body cavity.

RESUMO

In Bilateria, the formation of the coelomic mesoderm occurs in various ways and is of great significance for comparative embryology and phylogeny. Several early ontogenetic stages were studied in the brachiopod Coptothyris grayi by scanning electron microscopy and cytochemistry combined with confocal laser microscopy. Two sources of the mesoderm were observed to form simultaneously from the anterior and posterior walls of the archenteron at the gastrula stage. Both anterior and posterior rudiments form enterocoely as unpaired protrusions of the wall of the archenteron and are subsequently separated from it. The findings confirmed the previous data on enterocoely in brachiopods. Moreover, a dual origin of the coelomic mesoderm from an anterior and a posterior precursor was for the first time demonstrated for all brachiopods. Analysis of the literature showed that two sources of the coelomic mesoderm in ontogeny are characteristic of representatives of various groups of protostomes and deuterostomes. This fact may provide evidence for the earlier hypothesis of plesiomorphy of two sources of the mesoderm in Bilateria.

RESUMO

The fine structure of the body wall and gut was for the first time studied in the competent larvae of the frenulate pogonophoran Siboglinum fiordicum. Mass apoptosis of cell nuclei was observed in the dermo-muscular body wall and coelomic epithelium. Apoptotic nuclei were found in both cell cytoplasm and outside of the larval body. In the latter case, each nucleus was surrounded by the plasmalemma, and the entire cluster was covered with the cuticle. Cells of the larval gut retained the usual structure with the cytoplasm filled with numerous yolky granules and the nucleus displaying usual morphology. Similar apoptotic processes have been described in vestimentiferans and found to be initiated by penetration of symbiotic bacteria through the integument into the dorsal mesentery. The process of apoptotic rearrangement of body wall cells and the formation of unique symbiosis with bacteria were assumed to be time-spaced in S. fiordicum, occurring sequentially rather than simultaneously, unlike in vestimentiferans.

RESUMO

The study of the anatomy and fine structure of Echiura is of great importance for understanding the biology of these animals, which lead a secretive life and dominate in various benthic communities. The first data on the organization of the siphonal part of the midgut of female Bonellia viridis were obtained by the methods of scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Unusual concentric inclusions similar in the ultrastructure to those described in other animals, e.g., in the gut of many nematode species and in the tegument of some cestodes, were first found in the cells of the midgut. It is known that, in these animals, the concentric inclusions play an important role in the binding of chemical agents inherent in redox environments. Interestingly, the individuals of B. viridis studied were found on the surface of a substrate devoid of redox environment signs. New results indicate the presence in B. viridis and, possibly, in all spoon worms, of preadaptations to life in redox environments. New data on the structure and composition of concentric inclusions will shed light on their origin and function.

RESUMO

The study of the lophophore organization is of great importance for the reconstruction of lophophorate phylogeny and for understanding the evolutionary transformation in each phylum of Lophophorata. The innervation of the lophophore in ctenostome bryozoan Flustrellidra hispida was studied using immunocytochemistry and confocal laser scanning microscopy. It has been demonstrated that this species has an outer nerve ring giving rise to the tentacle nerves. The outer nerve ring was earlier described in some ctenostomates and cyclostomates, but not as connected with nerves. The discovered feature of lophophore innervation in F. hispida suggests the evolutionary transformation from a hypothetical phoronida-like ancestor lophophore bearing a prominent outer nerve ring with numerous tentacle nerves emanating from it, to the complex bell-shaped lophophore of F. hispida with a well-pronounced outer nervous ring bearing a few tentacle nerves. The next one in this hypothetical row is the lophophore of the other ctenostomates and some cyclostomates with no ring-nerve connection and cheilostomates lophophore with no outer nerve ring at all.

RESUMO

Ultrastructural study of the excretory tree of vestimentifera Ridgeia piscesae has shown that it consists of tubules that are blind at their distal ends. The tubules are lined with ciliated cells and have one or two multiciliated terminal cell(s) at the distal ends. In the tubule walls, there are putative ultrafiltration sites. The excretory tree tubules are interpreted as the secondary protonephridia.

RESUMO

A new type of phoronid development, viviparity of larvae, has been discovered in a new phoronid species that lives as a commensal of digging sand shrimps in Vostok Bay, the Sea of Japan. The embryos develop in the mother's trunk coelom up to the young larva stage. During development, embryos increase in size twice and probably obtain nutriment from the mother's coelomic fluid. Spawning occurs by young larvae, which are released through nephridiopores. The new type of development is described in a phoronid that has a small body size but a high fertility, producing large amounts of extremely small eggs. The combination of viviparity and large number of eggs increases the number of competent larvae that can undergo metamorphosis in the burrows of shrimps.

RESUMO

The larval development of the Brachiopod Coptothyris grayi (Davidson, 1852) from the Sea of Japan is described for the first time. Ciliated blastula proved to represent the first free-swimming stage. The blastopore is initially formed as a rounded hole stretching later along the anteroposterior axis. The larva is first divided into two lobes (the apical lobe and the trunk); the mantle lobe is formed later as two lateral folds. Two pairs of seta bundles appear in the late stage larvae. The apical larval lobe in brachiopods is supposed to match the pre-oral lobe and anterior part of the trunk with tentacles in phoronids.

RESUMO

Lophophore innervation in the brachiopod Lingula anatina has been investigated using immunocytochemistry and laser confocal microscopy. Three prominent nerves, namely, the main brachial nerve, the accessory brachial nerve, and the lower brachial nerve, have been found to extend along each brachium of the lophophore. Tentacle innervation is also described in detail. Comparative analysis revealed homologous nerves in lophophores of brachiopods, phoronids, and bryozoans. Similarities in tentacle innervation in these phyla of invertebrates have been detected. The results obtained confirm lophophore homology in different groups of lophophorates and provide evidence for monophyly of Lophophorata.
