Blades and papillae as likely dispersing propagules in Chilean populations of Mastocarpus sp. (Rhodophyta, Gigartinales)

Abstract: Resumen.-Mastocarpus sp. es un alga roja nativa a la costa del Pacífico de Norteamérica, y también presente en Concepción, Chile (ca. 37°S), donde se ha propuesto como especie no indígena. Su establecimiento y expansión podrían verse favorecidos si láminas y papilas constituyeran propágulos. Las características de desprendimiento de estas dos estructuras apoyan esta interpretación. Láminas de Mastocarpus sp. requirieron menos fuerza para ser desprendidas desde las rocas que láminas de otras algas rojas comunes… Show more

“…Papillae rise from the surface of the algal sheet and in many stages of development, the base is typically wider than the tip, as in the MOWS warts (Avila et al 1999;Orostica et al 2012). Reproductive papillae also contain internal cavities similar to those seen in MOWS.…”

“…9D-F). These algae have broad, thin, unmineralized thalli, and in many taxa, such as the genera Chondracanthus and Mastocarpus, one surface is covered in bumpy outgrowths (papillae), which contain the reproductive structures (Avila et al 1999;Hughey and Hommersand 2008;Orostica et al 2012), while the other surface is smooth and generally featureless (Fig. 9D).…”

“…However, expansion rates are variable and depend on several biotic and abiotic factors, such as life history traits and interactions with other species, etc., (see Lyons & Scheibling 2009 for details), and can be unpredictable even within the same species at different times and geographic regions. (Oróstica et al 2012), biotic and abiotic factors might also restrict the rapid growth and colonization and additional studies need to be carried out. Temperature is unlikely to represent a barrier along the Chilean coast since the genus is distributed in seawater ranging from 3 to 23°C (Bell 1993).…”

“…Little is known about the species' present geographic distribution, abundance and effects on local flora and fauna. Recently, Oróstica et al (2012) reported that detached blades and papillae provide an alternative dispersal mechanism that might facilitate the establishment of individuals at new places. This alternative dispersal mechanism and formation of cistocarpic plants in the absence of male gametophytes (Avila & Alveal 1987) could facilitate geographic expansion and invasion of new territory.…”

“…Para la macroalga Codium fragile, se han descrito 2 estrategias de dispersión: a) fragmentación y liberación de talos a la deriva que le permitiría a las zonas más reproductivas del talo (i.e., sección apical) llegar a nuevos sitios y liberar gametos que, mediante partenogénesis, podrían dar origen a nuevos individuos La macroalga roja Mastocarpus latissimus, también ha mostrado un incremento significativo en su rango de distribución a través del tiempo , lo que podría verse favorecido por el desprendimiento de talos reproductivos y liberación de papilas (estructuras que contienen cistocarpos) a la deriva (Oróstica et al 2012). …”
