Males were observed from +January 2014 +to +June 2014 +with a maximum value in +May 2014 +(42.1%). +July 2013 +was the only month in which all the specimens collected were infertile. The +sex ratio +(F/M) varied from 14: +1 in +February 2014 +to 1: +1 in +June 2014 +. Males were more abundant than females only in +May 2014 +(42.1% male and 26.3% female). The average F/M ratio was 6:1. Hermaphrodites were never found. + + +In +Figure 4A +average monthly variations in the number of female gonads per individual is shown. Female gonads were visible starting from +August 2013 +(85.8 gonads +individual-1 +± 40.4 SD); the number of gonads was higher from October to April, reaching a maximum during +April 2014 +(322.0 gonads +individual-1 +± 85 SD). From May, their abundance decreased and dropped in +June 2014 +(99.8 gonads +individual-1 +± 45.5 SD). Number of gonads +individual-1 +were inversely correlated to temperature (Pearson’s correlation, r = 0.70, df = 9, p <0.05). Considering the quarterly variations of gonads number +individual-1 +, the highest values were observed from October to June, with a maximum in winter (265.3 ± 68.6 SD; when the mean temperature was equal to Tav=11.3 ± 0.02°C) and lower in July-September (154.9 ± 80.2 SD; Tav=21.7 ± 0.07°C). Statistical analysis showed a significant difference in the number of gonads during different quarters in females (One-way ANOVA, F = 3.92, p <0.05). Values observed in the period from July to September were significantly different from those of periods January-March and April-June (One-way ANOVA, F = 3.92, p <0.05, followed by Tukey HSD, p <0.05), but not from October-December (Tukey HSD, p <0.05). October-December values showed no significant difference with January-March and April-June and the same occurred between values occurred in January-March and April-June (Tukey HSD, p> 0.05). + + +Oocytes ( +Fig. 4B +) were observed from +August 2013 +to +June 2014 +; however, it was not possible to count cells from August to October due to their small size (and in November no samples were collected due to unfavorable weather conditions, as already mentioned). The number of female sex cells increased from +December 2013 +to +May 2014 +reaching a peak in April (44.0 oocytes per gonad ± 6.9 SD), followed by a sharp decrease in June (20 ± 7.9 SD). Variations in the number of oocytes per gonad in + +A. viridis + +were inversely correlated to temperature (Spearman’s correlation, r = 0.59, N = 11, p <0.05). The investigation of variations in the oocyte number per gonad in the considered quarters highlighted that the higher reproductive effort occurred from April to June (in average 31.6 oocytes per gonad ± 13.1 SD). Statistical analysis showed no significant difference between sample medians in all considered quarters (Kruskal-Wallis, H = 4.26, p> 0.05), but Mann-Whitney pairwise test showed a significant difference only between quarters April-June and October-December (p <0.05). + + + +Fig. 3: +Sex ratio of + +Anemonia viridis + +(A) and + +Exaiptasia diaphana + +(B) throughout the period July 2013-July 2014 with relative percentages of male, female and infertile individuals. + + + + +Fig. 4: +Reproductive biology of + +Anemonia viridis + +(A-C) and + +Exaiptasia diaphana + +(D-F).

Monthly Variations in the number of gonads per male was not correlated to temperature (Pearson’s correlation, r = 0.55, df = 10, p> 0.05). Statistical analysis showed no significant difference between sample medians in quarters January-March and April-June (188.4 ± 181.9 SD and 181.9 ± 75.9 SD, respectively; One Way ANOVA, F = 0.027, p> 0.05). It was not possible to count the number of sperm cysts for each gonad due to their small size. However, we measured the diameter of the gonads containing sperms (spermatocysts). Biggest spermatocysts ( +Fig. 4C +, Supplementary Material S3) were observed in the quarter April-June (size range: 61-460 μm; size class more frequent (30%): 261-300 μm); on the contrary, in the period January-March gametocysts ranged from 20 to 180 μm (class more frequent (54%): 20-60 μm). + + + + \ No newline at end of file
