It is a large specimen (~ +50 cm +in diameter) from +Fiji +* which matches Dana’s description of an arborescent corallum with branches that are ‘very neatly bristled with delicate branchlets’ that give it an ‘even cylindrical outline’* ‘smooth tubiform calices’ and a costate coenosteum. We sequenced +two specimens +from the type locality (G78322 and G80278) with characters that very closely match the +lectotype +. These specimens confirm the identity of + +A. echinata + +* but the morphology of specimens in our study* from the GBR* the Coral Sea and the Bismarck Sea* show considerable morphological variability. In particular* specimen G80259 from Marion Reef in the Coral Sea is more bushy than the +lectotype +and +topotype +specimens from +Fiji +* while G78007 from the Bismarck Sea has thicker* less dense branches. However* all specimens of + +A. echinata + +have terete incipient axial corallites with square walls* compared with the thicker* more rounded tubular walls of other bottlebrush species. The coenosteum of + +A. echinata + +is costate* whereas other bottlebrush species ossen have elaborate spinules [e.g. + +Acropora subglabra +Brook + +* 1891 (G71541)]. Additional specimens in the collection of MTQ also possess all these characters* providing strong morphological support for their identification as + +A. echinata + +. + + + +Madrepora duroillei +Milne Edwards & Haime + +* 1860 from +Fiji +and + +Madrepora procumbens +Brook + +* 1891 from the ‘South Seas’ were considered junior synonyms of + +A. echinata + +by Veron and Wallace (1984) and +Wallace (1999) +. Milne Edwards and Haime (1860) note that + +M. duroillei + +is very similar to + +M. echinata +. + +The + +M. duroillei + +holotype +(MNHN +Z282a +) is described as having ‘echinated ribs’ by Milne Edwards and Haime (1860)* which presumably refers to the coenosteum* and is from the same type locality as + +A. echinata + +* supporting previous decisions that the species is a junior synonym of this species. However* the type of + +A. procumbens + +(NHM +1841.12.11.3 +) has more rounded corallite walls and spinules on the coenosteum* and therefore more closely resembles bottlebrush species from Clade V [e.g. + +A. subglabra + +G71541 and G71543] than those from Clade I. Consequently* although + +A. procumbens + +does not appear to be a junior synonym of + +A. echinata + +(Dana* 1846)* further research is required to determine its taxonomic status and phylogenetic affinities. + + +The + +A. echinata + +genome assembled from a specimen collected from the Ryukyu Islands (Shinzato +et al. +2021) is reconstructed in our study in Clade VI (labelled clade IV by Shinzato +et al. +2021)* deeply diverged (> 50 Mya; Shinzato +et al. +2021) from + +A. echinata + +(Dana* 1846) sampled from the +type +locality* which we reconstruct in Clade I (concordant with Clade I in the study by Shinzato +et al. +2021). Unfortunately* there is no voucher or field image associated with this genome* hence we cannot comment on any morphological differences between these species. However* it is possible that the Coral Triangle / north-west Pacific region supports another distinct species with morphological similarities to + +A. echinata + +. Consequently* we do not include any specimens from these regions as + +A. echinata + +* pending further study. Based on the specimens we examined here* the current geographical range of + +A. echinata + +extends from the +type +locality in +Fiji +west across the Coral Sea to the Great Barrier Reef and north to the Bismarck Sea (Supporting Information* Fig. S6). + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/DB/45/87/DB4587EEFFAA4136FC7BFB06FA3CF9A1.xml b/data/DB/45/87/DB4587EEFFAA4136FC7BFB06FA3CF9A1.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..984ebba342a --- /dev/null +++ b/data/DB/45/87/DB4587EEFFAA4136FC7BFB06FA3CF9A1.xml @@ -0,0 +1,183 @@ + + + +A tenuis relationship: traditional taxonomy obscures systematics and biogeography of the ‘ Acropora tenuis’ (ºcleractinia: Acroporidae) species complex + + + +Author + +Bridge, Tom C.

Septa moderately developed* with two directive septa prominent. + + + + +Remarks: +The +lectotype +of + +A. kenti + +(Supporting Information* Fig. S3) differs from the +holotype +of + +A. tenuis + +in having thicker branches that lack tertiary branching and incipient axials* and in possessing cochleariform radial corallites arranged in neat rows. Of the specimens sequenced in this study* G80266 from Great Detached Reef and G80247 from Myrmidon Reef most closely resemble the +lectotype +* NHM 1892.6.8.202* designated by +Wallace (1999) +from Thursday Island* Torres Strait. Brook’s +syntype +* NHM 1892.6.8.203* from Low Woody Island near Cooktown in the northern GBR is morphologically similar to the +lectotype +and is almost certainly the same species. Like + +A. tenuis + +* the specimens of + +A. kenti + +in our phylogeny show considerable variation in gross morphology* in terms of both branch thickness and the neatness of the radial corallites. Two colonies collected adjacent to each other at Myrmidon Reef* GBR* and sequenced in the present series* G80247 and G78778* demonstrate the range of variation in the length and neatness of the radial corallites. Specimens also show variation in branch thickness within and between colonies* some of which might be attributable to environmental factors* such as wave exposure. Despite morphological variability within the species* molecular data clearly demonstrate that + +A. kenti + +(Brook* 1892) is distinct from + +A. tenuis + +(Dana* 1846); therefore* we formally resurrect the former species. Consequently* the species commonly referred to as + +A. tenuis + +on the GBR and elsewhere in eastern +Australia +( +sensu +Veron and Wallace 1984)* including the genome published as + +A. tenuis + +from the GBR ( + +Cooke +et al. +2020 + +) is + +A. kenti + +.

The +holotype +* from the shallow lagoon of Rarotonga* has upright branches ( +Fig. 6A +)* whereas +paratypes +from higher-energy outer reef slopes show thicker* flatter branches with fewer incipient axial corallites. Radial corallites are densely packed (touching in some specimens but not on the +holotype +)* of mixed sizes and shapes and ossen flaring* giving the colony a spikey* messy appearance.

Verrill’s +holotype +of + +A. striata + +from the Ryukyu Islands has similar radial corallite shape but is clearly distinguished from + +A. rongoi + +on the basis of molecular and biogeographical evidence. Furthermore* the interpretation of + +A. striata + +as hispidose (Shirai 1980* Veron and Wallace 1984* +Wallace 1999 +) is likely to be incorrect because the +holotype +lacks tertiary branching (see below for further discussion on + +A. striata + +). + +Acropora elseyi + +can have similar gross morphology* but radial corallites are tubular to appressed tubular with thick walls and prominent septa* and the coenosteum is composed of elaborate spinules.

However* these characters are not consistent with the +holotype +* which is described by Dana as being caespitose with branchlets that are ‘very slender* subterete and proliferous’* while the radial corallites are ‘appressed-tubiform* irregular* elongate and slender’ (Supporting Information* Fig. S3). + + + + +Figure 6. + +Acropora rongoi + + +. Holotype MTQ +G78411 +in the field the lagoon at Rarotonga* Cook Islands (A* B) and in the laboratory (C* D); paratype MTQ +G78418 +in the field on the outer reef slope at Papua* Rarotonga* Cook Islands (E* F); and scanning electron microscope images showing axial (G) and radial corallite and coenosteum details (H) of the holotype. + + + +The specimens in the present series vary in gross morphology* but FJ127 (G78323) and 101-5454 (G80284)* from the reef flat on the southern coast of +Viti +Levu* +Fiji +* closely resemble Dana’s +holotype +( +Fig. 4 +)* confirming that these specimens are + +A. tenuis + +. Other specimens sequenced here illustrate the range of variation within this species. G80281* also from +Fiji +* and G80240 from +Ha’apai +* +Tonga +* have thicker branches than the +holotype +* while 101-5672 (G80280) is intermediate between these specimens. TG59 (G80237)* also from +Tonga +* differs considerably in gross morphology* growing as a thick bottlebrush rather than a corymbose clump or table. However* close examination of the branch ends shows that the branching structure and corallite shape are consistent with the thicker specimens in the present series. The large range of variation in gross morphology within + +A. tenuis + +could present a challenge when defining morphological characters for identification of this species in the field; however* it is clear that many of the species with overlapping morphological features previously considered within the range of variation of + +A. tenuis + +have distinct geographical ranges that do not overlap. + + + +Acropora tenuis + +is currently known only from +Fiji +and +Tonga +in the South Pacific (Supporting Information* Fig. S6); all other + +tenuis + +-like specimens from other regions are likely to represent distinct species that require additional taxonomic investigation. Consequently* given the support of numerous other population genetic studies demonstrating strong geographic structure within specimens identified as + +A. tenuis + +based on gross morphology (e.g. + +Rosser +et al. +2020 + +* + +van der Ven +et al. +2022 + +)* combined with morphological differences between the type specimens (Supporting Information* Fig. S3) discussed below* + +A. macrostoma +Brook + +* 1891 stat. rev. from +Mauritius +* + +A. kenti +Brook + +* 1892 stat. rev. from Torres Strait* + +A. bifaria +Brook + +* 1892 stat. rev. from Java* and + +A. assicana +Brook + +* 1892 stat. rev. from South Africa (listed as a synonym of + +A. tenuis + +by Veron and Wallace 1984 and considered a probably junior synonym of + +A. tenuis + +by +Wallace [1999] +) are hereby removed from synonymy with + +A. tenuis +Dana + +* 1846. Additional taxonomic research* particularly the collection of +topotypes +* is required to establish the geographical and morphological ranges of these species and to identify additional species that might co-occur in these regions. + + +Of these four nominal species* + +A. macrostoma + +and + +A. bifaria + +resemble + +A.kenti + +inmorphology*withneatlyarrangedcochleariform radial corallites and minimal tertiary branching (Supporting Information* Fig. S3). Three specimens in the Museum of Tropical Queensland (G51822* G51823 and G51824) from Baie Aux Tortues* +Mauritius +* closely resemble Brook’s type of + +A. macrostoma + +owing to their comparatively thick branches* lack of incipient axial corallites and flaring* cochleariform corallites and are therefore re-identified as this species. The species identified as + +A. tenuis + +by + +Pillay +et al. +(2002: 78–79) + +is also likely to be + +A. macrostoma + +. The type of + +A. assicana + +is corymbose* but the branches are thicker and axial dominated* and the radial corallites are described by +Brook (1893) +as ‘appressed nariform to tubiform’* rather than labellate or cochleariform (Supporting Information* Fig. S3). + +Acropora plana +Nemenzo + +* 1967 was also synonymized with + +A. tenuis + +by Veron and Wallace (1984) and considered a junior synonym by +Wallace (1999) +but recognized as a valid species by +Veron (2000) +and + +Veron +et al. +(2016) + +. The +holotype +of + +A. plana + +appears to be a fragment of a large tabular colony with relatively thin branches* and the radial coralites are appressed with round openings (Supporting Information* Fig. S3). These morphological differences* combined with the type location of + +A. plana + +in the +Philippines +* indicate that this species is unlikely to be a synonym of + +A. tenuis + +. However* we have not examined the +holotype +* and further research is needed to resolve the status of this species. + + + + \ No newline at end of file
