“…At 15‰, ecto‐ as well as endodermal cells show intermediate phenotypes . Besides changes in cell size and shape, the number of cells in Cordylophora hydranths differ when animals are exposed to different salinities for days or weeks being significantly higher in animals reared in freshwater than in those exposed to a salinity of 30‰ …”

Phenotypic Plasticity in Animals Exposed to Osmotic Stress – Is it Always Adaptive?

Hyperplasia and hypertrophy are elements of phenotypic plasticity adjusting organ size and function. Because they are costly, we assume that they are beneficial. In this review, the authors discuss examples of tissue and organ systems that respond with plastic changes to osmotic stress to raise awareness that we do not always have sufficient experimental evidence to conclude that such processes provide fitness advantages. Changes in hydranth architecture in the hydroid Cordylophora caspia or variations in size in the anal papillae of insect larvae upon changes in medium salinity may be adaptive or not. The restructuring of salt glands in ducklings upon salt-loading is an example of phenotypic plasticity which indeed seems beneficial. As the genomes of model species are recently sequenced and the animals are easy to rear, these species are suitable study objects to investigate the biological significance of phenotypic plasticity and to study potential epigenetic and other mechanisms underlying phenotypic changes.

“…Cordylophora caspia is a clonal organism that also reproduces sexually, extending towards new substrates by new free-swimming planula larvae (Jormalainen et al 1994). It is dioecius with gonophores containing eggs or sperm (Folino 2000) and medusa stage is lacking (Pennak 1989).…”

“…It is dioecius with gonophores containing eggs or sperm (Folino 2000) and medusa stage is lacking (Pennak 1989). Colonies are polymorphic with polyps specialized for feeding (gastrozooids) or reproduction (gonophores) and grow by adding more hydrants to hydrocauli on the upright branches and extending the hydrorhiza (Jormalainen et al 1994).…”

New record for the distribution of the colonial hydroid Cordylophora caspia (Pallas, 1771) (Cnidaria: Hydrozoa) in Argentina

Cordylophora caspia is a colonial, athecate hydroid inhabiting both in freshwater and brackish habitats. Its global distribution is in part due to its ability to tolerate a wide range of salinity. It is considered an invasive species and its control is widely studied because of the industrial and ecological problems it causes in many environments. We report for the first time the occurrence of this hydrozoan in Nahuel Rucá Lake (Buenos Aires province, Argentina) with some notes on its internal and external morphology.
