“…Recently, an extensive revision using molecular and morphological techniques was performed for Bugula sensu lato resulting in four valid genera, Bugula sensu stricto, Bugulina [44], Crisularia [44] and Virididentula [42]. Several of these species, such as Bugula neritina [45], Virididentula dentata [46] and Bugulina stolonifera [47], have a widespread distribution and are abundant among fouling communities [40,[48][49][50].…”

“…Aunque en el Atlántico se ha reportado en la Florida y Golfo de México, y en el Caribe solo en Panamá y Curaçao (Winston, 1977(Winston, , 1982NIMPIS, 2002;Mackie et al, 2006), su amplia distribución alrededor del mundo, su afinidad por los sustratos artificiales, así como su resistencia a la contaminación, son razones que sustentan su aparición en los tres sectores evaluados. Entre tanto, las larvas de esta especie y otras del mismo género, tienen la capacidad de nadar durante dos días en ausencia de elementos para asentamiento, o por el contrario asentarse en menos de dos horas cuando hay sustrato disponible (Keough, 1989;Cancino & Gallardo, 2004).…”

RESUMEN.Durante el estudio del asentamiento de la langosta espinosa (Panulirus argus) sobre colectores artificiales suspendidos en la región de Santa Marta, se evaluaron los peces y otros invertebrados asociados a estos hábitats. El propósito de esta investigación fue determinar las especies de briozoos presentes en los hábitats artificiales instalados en los sectores de la bahía de Pozos Colorados, Isla Pelícano y bahía de Taganga, así como analizar los factores ecológicos de su distribución. Como resultado se encontraron diez briozoos de los cuales Alcyonidium cf. mamillatum, Bugula neritina, Bugula cf. guara, Catenicella uberrima y Aspiscellaria piscaderaensis fueron reportados por primera vez para el Caribe colombiano, y para algunos de estos se amplió su distribución en el Atlántico Occidental Tropical. Durante la época lluviosa (septiembre-noviembre) en Isla Pelícano y Pozos Colorados se registró la mayor riqueza y abundancia de briozoos, lo que estuvo probablemente relacionado con la mayor sedimentación y turbidez, en contraste con la época seca (diciembre-febrero). De otro lado, la estación de Taganga presentó valores reducidos de las variables biológicas posiblemente por sus características de aguas claras y movimiento reducido, además de escaso alimento. Los colectores artificiales funcionaron como refugios suspendidos para el asentamiento y desarrollo de estos invertebrados, y claramente son herramientas efectivas en evaluaciones ecológicas y de diversidad, así como para actividades de maricultura.

First records of Phylum Bryozoa associated to artificial habitats in the Colombian CaribbeanABSTRACT. During the assessment of spiny lobster (Panulirus argus) settlement on suspended artificial collectors at Santa Marta region, the fishes and other invertebrates associated to these habitats were evaluated. The aim of this research was determine the species of bryozoans present in the artificial habitats deployed in Pozos Colorados Bay, Isla Pelícano and Taganga Bay, as well as analyse the ecological factors of their distribution. As a result, ten bryozoans species were found, from which Alcyonidium cf. mamillatum, Bugula neritina, Bugula cf. guara, Catenicella uberrima and Aspiscellaria piscaderaensis were reported for the first time in the Colombian Caribbean and for some of these, it extended their distribution to the Tropical Western Atlantic. In the rainy season (September-November) in Isla Pelícano and Pozos Colorados were recorded the highest bryozoans richness and abundance, probably related with increased sedimentation and turbidity, in contrast with the wet season (December-February). On the other hand, Taganga station presented reduced values of biological variables possibly by their environmental characteristics of clear water, reduced water movement and scarce food. Artificial collectors function as suspended shelters for the settlement and development of these invertebrates, a...

“…DNA was extracted from fragments of ~20 zooids colony -1 using DNeasy (Qiagen) mini centrifuge columns. Following previously described methods (Mackie et al 2006), COI was amplified using universal primers LCO1490 and HCO2198. This product was reamplified using LCO1490 and a bryozoan-specific primer BH2161, and sequenced by BigDye chemistry from both ends using these primers.…”

A non-native bryozoan, Schizoporella errata, forms extensive patches of free-living balls and reef-like structures (bryoliths) on the mudflats in south San Francisco Bay, California. The ball-like bryoliths range from 2 to 20 cm in diameter, and the reef-like structures can be nearly 1 m across. While S. errata is known to form bryoliths in other locations, free-living aggregations like these have not been reported. Colony morphology appears to be a plastic trait as analysis of relationships among forms using cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) nucleotide sequence data revealed no genetic separation. We recorded > 50 species of algae and invertebrates living on and in the bryoliths and determined the invasion status for 34 of the 50 species. Of the 34, 25 (74%) were non-natives and included fouling species that require hard substrate. The bryoliths may thus facilitate colonization by invaders on the mudflats and serve as stepping stones between the limited hard substrate habitats in the Bay.

J. Zabin pers. obs.).Non-native marine species that create 3-dimensional structures in soft-bottom habitats can also have significant ecological impacts, facilitating the presence of obligate hard-substrate organisms, creating living space for other organisms, and in some cases altering the quality of the nearby benthos (e.g. Posey 1988, Ricciardi et al. 1997, Crooks & Khim 1999, Bruno et al. 2005, Rodriguez 2006. In a literature review, Bruno et al. (2005) found that non-native species facilitated the presence of native species at least as often as that of other non-native species. However, it might be reasoned that when a non-native species creates a novel substrate type, other non-natives may be more likely than natives to either (1) be pre-adapted to use the new substrate or (2) display the environmental plasticity to do so. For example, Heiman et al. (2008) found that reefs created by the Australian tubeworm Ficopomatus enigmaticus in a predominantly soft-bottom estuary in Central California supported abundant communities of non-native amphipods and polychaetes. Native species associated with native oysters also inhabited the worm reefs, but non-native species were much more abundant in the tubeworm reefs than on oysters, suggesting differential facilitation of non-native species by this new foundation species (Heiman et al. 2008).In 2006, we became aware of another organism typically thought of as hard-substrate dependent, living as an unattached form on the mudflats in San Francisco Bay, California. Spheroidal colonies of a bryozoan, ranging from golf ball to football size (~2 to 20 cm), were found in large numbers in the shallow subt...
