Abstract

The specific diversity of Brachiopoda is proposed for the first time in an atlas of the Southern Ocean with maps for each genus in the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic zones. The three sub-phyla Linguliformea, Craniiformea and Rhynchonelliformea are represented: 51 species, belonging to 35 genera occur on a surface area covering about 20% of World Ocean. The low diversity in those zones is confirmed by the occurrence of only 12.6% of the total number of extant species of brachiopods (402) and of 29.4% of that of the genera (119). The absence of reliable diagnoses in most of the species makes difficult some comparisons and attributions. In the future several of these species and even genera could be considered as synonymous.

Keywords: brachiopod; diversity; Antarctic; sub-Antarctic; atlas.

Résumé

Atlas des brachiopodes antarctiques et sub-antarctiques.- La diversité spécifique des Brachiopoda est proposée pour la première fois dans l'Océan Austral (ou glacial antarctique) sous forme d'un atlas avec des cartes pour chaque genre dans les zones antarctiques et sub-antarctiques. Les trois sub-phylums Linguliformea, Craniiformea et Rhynchonelliformea sont représentés : 51 espèces, appartenant à 35 genres. La faible diversité dans ces zones est confirmée par la présence de seulement 12,6% du nombre total d'espèces actuelles de brachiopodes (402) et de 29,4% de celui des genres (119). L'absence de diagnoses fiables dans pratiquement toutes les espèces rend difficile certaines comparaisons et attributions. Plusieurs de ces espèces et même genres pourraient se révéler être synonymes.

Introduction

Brachiopods, commonly known as lamp-shells, are lophophorate animals found only in marine waters. They are bilaterally symmetrical solitary coelomates, sessile benthic suspension-feeders, enclosed in a shell formed by a dorsal and a ventral valve, and fixed to or into the substrate by a pedicle. However, some taxa lacking a pedicle are cemented to the substratum by one of their valves, i.e., Novocrania. Brachiopods range in size from a few millimetres to over eight centimetres. The pedicle can adjust the position of the organism in relation to its surroundings (see Richardson, 1997; Emig, 1997). The lophophore, usually supported by a brachidium, varies in complexity among the taxa. Larvae are either planktotrophic or non-planktotrophic.

Brachiopods are one of the most ancient zoological groups with a long evolutionary history from before Precambrian to Holocene times. Extremely abundant during the Palaeozoic, especially during the Silurian and Devonian periods, they dominated the benthic fauna in number of species and in diversity of form. After the Permo-Triassic period the group has progressively decreased in diversity. However, in some biocenoses the brachiopods remain dominant. Fossil brachiopods are reported from the Antarctica since the lower Cambrian. Cenozoic brachiopods are rather well-known especially those from the Antarctic Peninsula. However, their degree of diversity remains questionable related to taxonomic uncertainties.

The classification established in the "Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology" (Kaesler, 1997-2006) divides the Brachiopoda into three subphyla: the Linguliformea, the Craniiformea and the Rhynchonelliformea. Today, all three have representatives in Antarctic and sub-Antarctic waters (Table 1). Brachiopoda extend world-wide with at least 119 extant genera represented by 402 species. Representatives are found at all depths from littoral waters (generally subtidal) to the abyssal zone (Fig. 1). Most are epifaunal on hard substrates.

Table 1 : From the 70-75 extant species described in Antarctic and sub-Antarctic waters, there are only 51 valid recognized species, comprising 35 genera.

In Antarctic and sub-Antarctic waters, fifty-two extant species representing thirty-six genera have been recorded, of which seven genera occur also in Arctic waters (Table 2). All are epifaunal and are attached to hard substrate (stones, rocks, boulders, shells, worm tubes…). The diversity of the Antarctic fauna compares favourably with that of the faunas off other landmasses in the Southern Hemisphere: Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and South America, their identity being at either generic or specific levels. Several taxa in the vicinity of New Zealand differ markedly from those with a Magellanic distribution around South America and Antarctica; this diversification began about 82 Mya (Cohen et al., 2011). Few Antarctic species are endemic. Many have a large distribution at least in the Southern Hemisphere. Among these, Pelagodiscus atlanticus and Cryptopora gnomon, are also present in Arctic waters (Table 2).

The extant brachiopod taxa are unusual in their relationship to science in that they are studied and described not only by zoologists but also and preponderantly by palaeontologists. Nevertheless most early studies from the Antarctic waters were by zoologists: Friedrich Blochmann (1858-1931), Louis Joubin (1861-1935), Paul Eichler, William Dall (1845-1927), Johann Gerhard Helmcke (1908-1993), Paul Fischer (1835-1893) who had been sent material garnered during Antarctic cruises. However palaeontologists too: Thomas Davidson (1817-1885), Œhlert (1849-1920; see Emig, 2013), Allan Thomson (1881-1928), Wilfrid Jackson (1880-1978), Merrill Foster (publications in 1974 and 1989) have studied extant Antarctic brachiopods, providing excellent descriptions of the morphology and anatomy of soft body parts, includind taxonomic characters.

Palaeontologists who since the 1950's have described some of the Antarctic brachiopods include only those characteristics found in fossils. Consequently, their accounts are restricted to characters used in describing fossils so the taxonomic characteristics they include are much less complete than the diagnoses prescribed by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN, 1999). This failing increased the number of species while omitting well-defined characters proposed previously. New species were established mainly on dimensional and morphological aspects of the shell, so several are invalid taxonomically.

However, morpho-anatomical characters were brought to prominence by various authors: musculature (Bulmann, 1939; Helmcke, 1939a, 1940; Foster, 1974; Emig, 1997; and others), lophophore and disposition of mantle canals (Emig, 1992; Williams et al., 1997), pedicle (Richardson, 1979, 1981b), shell (Boullier et al., 1986; Álvarez et al., 2010), and the taxonomic value of spicules, nephridia, gonads and larvae was not yet appreciated. None of these diagnostic characters was used in the revision of systematics in part H (Brachiopoda) of the Treatise of Invertebrate Paleontology (Kaesler, 1997-2006; Selden, 2007), although they are detailed in the Anatomy chapter of Volume 1 (Williams et al., 1997).

Moreover, ignorance regarding ecological data makes it impossible to place a population in its biocenosis (see Emig, 1987). And some of these data may also be considered as having a phylogenetic significance. It is well known that two species of the same genus may not occur in the same biotope. This fact must be taken into account in the Antarctic where specific diversity is low: about 12.6% of all extant brachiopod species, and 29.4% of the genera, have been recorded in the Southen Ocean which covers about about 20% of the surface area of the Global Ocean (Tables 3 and 4; Fig. 1).

Finally, there is a basic need to establish the intra- and inter-population variations for all valid taxonomic characters, as well as for those that are modified in accordance with the age of the individual. Three or more species of one genus have sometimes been established and described on the basis of differences in a given character, especially those of shell outline and shape. Yet such elements are known to have no taxonomic value. Consequently, a large number of described species, not only those from the Antarctic area, lack phylogenetic authenticity. For example, Liothyrella moseleyi, L. delsolari and L. winteri may probably be considered synonyms of L. uva, along with Acrobrochus and Liothyrella.

Consequently there is a pre-eminent need for the establishment of well-defined phylogenetic criteria for each species and genus that will result in a rigorous and reliable systematics, a requirement for any worthwhile analysis of biodiversity and molecular studies, but also in the food and pharmaceutical industries, taphonomy, palaeoecological interpretation, and in the broad field of formal and informal education at all levels. A cladistic approach based on extant brachiopod species cannot be confined solely to the shape and dimensions of the shell, because other phylogenetical characters occur in the soft-bodied parts of the brachiopods.

The diversity of brachiopods in the Arctic and Antarctic realms is best expressed by their numbers, respectively 10 and 51 species. Obviously the epifauna is more heterogeneous and predominates in the Antarctic communities. The list of brachiopod genera and species in the Arctic (Arndt & Grieg, 1933; Zezina, 1977a, 1997b, 1980, 1997; Zezina & Raysky, 2010) and that of the species of the same genera found in the Antarctica (Tables 1 and 4) is given on Table 2.

Both Arctic and Southern Oceans have great differences which may explain their diversity: shortly, the Arctic Ocean is the smallest one in the World (14.2 millions de km2) and its southern limit is about the Arctic Circle (66°33'N), while the Southern Ocean has an area at last twice with a northern limit at nearly 40°S (Table 3).

Limits of the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic zones

The scientific zones of the Southern Ocean used herein have been defined in De Broyer et al. (2011). Nevertheless as true biological demarcation of the Antarctic zone, we have retained the Antarctic Polar front (Table 3). The limit of the sub-Antarctic zone is defined on Table 3. This line is close to the sub-tropical front.

Both zones are covered by the Southern Ocean which circles Antarctica. The northern limit of the Southern Ocean is not so clearly defined, but biological it is usually consider the Subtropical Front (Table 3) which is a transition zone between cool, fresh, nutrient-rich subantarctic waters and warm, salty, nutrient-poor subtropical waters. Although the position of the Subtropical Front varies with longitude, it lies roughly along 40°S for much of the Southern Ocean. Defined in this way, this latter occupies about 20% of the surface area of the Global Ocean.

The occurrences of the genera and species of Brachiopoda in each zone are listed on Table 4: only 12.6% of the species and 29.4% of the genera have been recorded when comparing to the diversity of the extant brachiopod in Global Ocean.

* Note:

  • The original species name by Davidson (1878, p. 431) is kerguelensis not kerguelenensis as written by several latter authors (see above); none of them got an explanation for this change of the original name. Hiller (1994, p. 72) used erroneously the name kerguelenensis for all synonyms. Consequently, the correct name remains kerguelensis according to article 32.1 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (1999), which is applied herein.
  • The genus name, Magellania Bayle, 1880 or Aerothyris Allan, 1939, remains under debate for this species. Cooper (1981) pointed out that A. kerguelensis retains a smooth-shell into the adult stages, which is an important characteristic according to Allan (1939). Hiller (1994) confirms this statement. Typical Magellania shows strong costae developed round the margins of mature shells. The use of such a taxonomical character to separate two genera remains questionable.
  • Foster (1989) pointed out that "A better understanding of this species is particularly vital in order to adequately evaluate a number of somewhat similar species that occur in the same area that may be variants of Magellania venosa. These similar specie include: Waldheimia smithi Pfeffer, 1866 (= Anecoboncha smithi Zezina, 1980); Magellania wyvillei Davidson, 1878; Anecoconcha obscura Cooper, 1973a; Syntomaria curiosa Cooper, 1982; and Dysritosia secreta Cooper, 1982."

    Aneboconcha eichleri (Allan, 1939)

    Allan (1939, p. 246) attributed the specimens figured by Eichler (1911) to a new species of the genus Aerothyris Allan, 1939 under the name A. eichleri [(I) AEROTHYRIS EICHLERI nom. nov. = Magellania Kerguelensis Eichler 1911, Ö (not of Davidson 1878). Type locality: Observatory Bay, Kerguelen Island, in 10 metres], without discussing this change and providing a diagnosis . Eichler's specimens were sampled at the station "Gauss" at less than 10 m depth, in Observatory Bay, by the "Deutsche Südpolar-expedition (1901-1903)". This bay was named in 1874 by the Challenger Expedition, today "baie de l'Observatoire", Kerguelen Islands (TAAF, France). Foster (1974) pointed out that these specimens are simply an elongated form of Magellania kerguelensis. Cooper (1981) considered eichleri as synonymous of Aerothyris kerguelensis.

    Following Allan's statement, Zezina (1980a) attributed the specimens collected in Kerguelen islands to Aneboconcha eichleri (Allan, 1939), considering that the specimens figured by Eichler (1911) are not Waldheimia kerguelensis Davidson, 1878, but no diagnosis, no figures are provided. According to the brachidium type, Zezina (1980a) assigned her single specimen sampled in the Kerguelen Islands to Aneboconcha. Foramen and deltidial plates of A. eichleri are similar to those of A. smithii but the former species differs by a smaller size and much more folding of the anterior commissure.

    Until more investigations on this species, Eichler's (1911) specimens are considered as belonging to Aerothyris kerguelensis Davidson, 1878. Hiller (1994) indicated that A. kerguelensis is the most common of the brachiopods and is the species that extends over the greatest depth range, from less than 50 m deep to more than 500 m. It is particularly abundant in the shallow area of Marion and Prince Edward Islands (South Africa).

    Genus Cancellothyris Thomson, 1926

    [Type species = Terebratula cancellata Koch in Küster, 1843 (p. 35) = Terebratulina hedleyi Finlay, 1927]

    Diagnosis from volume 5 of the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology (Kaesler, 2006):

    Small to medium sized, ovate to subpentagonal, valves biconvex; anterior commissure uniplicate to sulciplicate; surface finely capillate; umbo short, massive, suberect; foramen large, epithyrid, labiate; deltidial plates conjunct.

    Type locality: "Westaustralien" [Western Australia].
    Depth range: 6 - 366 m.
    References: Dawson (1971a, 1971b, 1991), Foster (1969, 1989), Richardson (1979, 1981b), Zezina (2008).

    Originally named Terebratula cancellata Koch in Küster (1845, p. 35), the need for renaming this species arose from the preoccupation of the specific name by Terebratula cancellata Eichwald, 1829. It was renamed Terebratulina hedleyi by Finlay (1927, p. 533), while Thomson in a book issued the same year proposed the name Cancellothyris australis (Thomson, 1927, p. 188).

    The priority of hedleyi over australis is not doubtful: Finlay's publication was read on 8th December 1925 before the Otago Institute and issued on 19th January 1927 (Finlay, 1927: p. 488), while Thomson's book was published on December 1927 according to Dawson (1972). Curiously, this latter author indicated "H. J. Finlay in 1927" in text but forgot to quote the publication in "References"!

    * Note: A genus diagnosis allows to distinguish, and so to identify the genus from other genera in the same family (or subfamily), while the diagnosis of a species should only contain the taxonomic characters, and their variations, distinguishing a species from another in the same genus - see ICZN (1999). So even in a monospecific genus, the characters should allow to describe a new species within a given genus. In this case a cladistic analysis should be provided to confirm the validity of the phylogenetic characters.

    Genus Gyrothyris Thomson, 1918

    [Type species= Gyrothyris mawsoni Thomson, 1918 (p. 28)]

    Diagnosis from volume 5 of the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology (Kaesler, 2006)

    Medium, transversely ovate to elongate oval; finely multicostate, anterior commissure weakly unisulcate; beak suberect to erect, foramen small, mesothyrid, attrite; deltidial plates usually conjunct, concave, almost hidden. Cardinalia thickened; cardinal process transversely oval myophore, median septum uniting posteriorly with narrow septalium; adult loop typically trabecular but occasionally teloform.

    Geological range: Present (Holocene).

    Gyrothyris mawsoni Thomson, 1918

    Gyrothyris mawsoni antipodesensis Foster, 1974
    Gyrothyris mawsoni aucklandensis Foster, 1974

    Type locality: "one mile off south end of Macquarie Island."
    Depth range: 79 - 563 m.

    Note: Tomson (1918) wrote: "Gyrothyris resembles Pachymagas more than Terebratella, but, differs from the former, in the absence of beak ridges, the shallowness of the hinge trough, and the transverse nature of the cardinal process. Further, Gyrothyris mawsoni possesses a radial ornament which has never been observed on any species of Pachymagas."

    According to Bowen (1968), "the Macquarie Island specimens of G. mawsoni resemble Magasella sanguinea but lack its characteristic reddish colour. On the inside, the shell structures are more thickened than in M. sanguinea."

    In 1892, Fischer & Œhlert wrote in their paper entitled "Brachiopodes de la mission scientifique du Cap Horn, 1882-1883":

    "Il sera donc nécessaire désormais de pratiquer une révision nouvelle des Brachiopodes et de supprimer peut-être un certain nombre d'espèces. Il en résulte que plus on étudie ces animaux, plus aussi diminue le chiffre des formes spécifiques légitimes."

    ["At present it will be necessary to do a new revision of the Brachiopods and to perhaps remove a certain number of species. The consequence is that more these animals are studied, more also decreases the number of the valid taxa."]
