Verwandtschaftsbeziehungen und Phylogenie der Turbellarien

Peter Ax

Kaum eine zweite Gruppe wirbelloser Organismen hat bei theoretischen Erorterungen uber die Stammesgeschichte niederer Metazoen eine vergleichbar hohe Bedeutung erlangt und eine derart wechselvolle Stellung im System der Invertebraten eingenommen wie die Klasse der Turbellarien.

Turbellaria Proseriata von der Pazifikküste der USA (Washington) I. Otoplanidae

Peter Ax; Renate Ax

The family Otoplanidae is represented by 8 species in the San Juan Archipel of the North American Pacific Coast. 6 new species and 1 new subspecies are described; 3 new genera are nominated. The female genital systems of Americanaplana nov. gen. and Pluribursaeplana nov. gen. deliver new elements for the morphology of the Turbellaria.

Diurodrilus ankeli nov. spec. (Archiannelida) von der nordamerikanischen Pazifikkste Ein Beitrag zur Morphologie, Systematik und Verbreitung der Gattung Diurodrilus

Peter Ax

Die Archianneliden-Familie der Dinophilidae umfal~t drei Gattungen, Dinophilus O. S c ~ D % Trilobodrilu~ I~aAN~ und 1)iurodrilu8 ICeMAn,. Die Gattung Dinophilus ist yon verschiedenen Regionen des amerikanischen Kontinents bekannt (D~ BOIS-REYlgOND MAlleUS, 1948; J o ~ s and F~Guso~¢, 1957), und auch ffir Trilobodrilus liegt wenigstcns ein Fundort yon der amerikanischen Pazifikkiiste vor (WIss]~]~, 1957). Demgegenfiber ist das Genus Diurodrilus welches bet L~ngenwerten yon 0,25--0,5 mm zu den kleinstcn Polychaeten reehnet mit vier Arten bisher ausschlief31ich an den curop/tischen Kfisten nachgewiesen. Diese vier Species gliedern sich in zwei Paare einander jeweils nahe. stehender Formen (G]~LAC~Z, 1955). Das Artenpaar Diurodrilus min imus R~AN~ und D. subterraneus R~MA~E wurde aus der Kieler Bucht beschrieben (R~A~]~, ]925, 1934).

Zur Morphologie sublitoraler Otoplanidae (Turbellaria, Proseriata) von Helgoland und Neapel

Peter Ax; Elin Weidemann; Beate Ehlers

SummaryThe unknown morphology of the speciesOrthoplana filum (Meixner) andO. foliacea (Meixner) is treated. The investigations are based on two different populations from the North Sea and the Mediterranean, respectively.O. filum belongs to the genusMonostichoplana Ax. ForO. foliacea the new genusPseudorthoplana is established.Further species from the Gulf of Naples reveal new morphological characteristics with regard to the construction of the genital organs and the photoreceptors. These species belong to the new generaXenotoplana nov. gen. (2 taxa) andNapoliplana nov. gen. (1 taxon).ZusammenfassungDie unbekannte Morphologie der ArtenOrthoplana filum (Meixner) undO. foliacea (Meixner) wird an Populationen der Nordsee und des Mittelmeeres bearbeitet.O. filum gehört in die GattungMonostichoplana Ax. FürO. foliacea wird die neue GattungPseudorthoplana errichtet. Weitere Arten aus dem Golf von Neapel liefern neue morphologische Merkmale im Aufbau des Genitalapparates und der Lichtsinnesorgane. Für diese Otoplaniden werden die GattungenXenotoplana nov. gen. (2 Arten) undNapoliplana nov. gen. (1 Art) aufgestellt.

Brackish-water Plathelminthes from the Faroe Islands

Peter Ax

Species-rich communities of brackish-water plathelminths of the European continental coast and of the north American Atlantic coast are known to be most similar. In contrast nothing has been recorded about a possible settlement of corresponding faunal elements between the continents on volcanic islands which were covered by glaciers in the Pleistocene. At the Faroe Islands 2 freshwater species, 11 marine-euryhaline species and 12 genuine brackish-water organisms were found in minute brackish-water biotopes with highly variable salinity. Macrostomum curvituba Luther, Minona baltica Karling & Kinnader and Coronhelmis lutheri Ax are the most abundant species. Several brackish-water plathelminths are able to tolerate freshwater conditions. Most probably they have evolved mechanisms which are comparable to those of limnetic organisms allowing long distance transport across the sea in an inactive state.

Zur Morphologie von Arenadiplosoma migrans n. g. n. sp., einer vagilen Ascidien-Kolonie aus dem Mesopsammal der Nordsee (Tunicata, Ascidiacea)

Dorothea Menker; Peter Ax

This new species of the family Didemnidae (Order Aplousobranchiata) presents the first moving synascidia from the interstitial system of marine sand. Tubular projections with glands form characteristic fixtures for locomotion and adhesion of the tiny colony.

Northern circumpolar distribution of brackish-water plathelminths

Peter Ax

The composition of brackish-water faunas on both sides of North America shows a high degree of similarity with the corresponding faunas in European brackish waters in terms of species of the Plathelminthes. Twenty species are common to both the Atlantic coast of Canada and Northern Europe; a further nine brackish-water plathelminths are common to the Pacific coast of Alaska and Europe; and two species occur in all three areas. These patterns of distribution must be regarded as the result of past or present connections between the American and European populations of brackish-water species. The most parsimonious explanation is the hypothesis that a species-rich community of brackish-water plathelminths has a northern circumpolar distribution.

N.N.: Seison + Acanthocephala

Peter Ax

Sperm with “dense bodies”. Filament bundles in the epidermal syncytium. Epibiotic way of life with the following components. (a) Reduction of head ciliation. (b) Feeding by sucking with uptake of bacteria and (?) haemolymph from the body of the host organism. (c) Modeling of the rami of the masticatory apparatus to a suction tube. The rami arch upwards frontally, almost lay together dorsally, and form a half-cylinder that is open at the bottom (Fig. 18A, B).

Rotifera — N.N. (Seison + Acanthocephala)

Peter Ax

Following the interpretation of Seison as the sister group of the Acanthocephala (see below), we must now consider the justification of the remaining Rotifera (Rotatoria)1 — Monogononta + Bdelloida — as a monophylum. The state of the female gonads provides a convincing autapomorphy.

Indikationen zur postoperativen intensivmedizinischen Behandlung

Peter Ax

Eine Indikation zur postoperativen oder posttraumatischen intensivmedizinischen Behandlung besteht dann, wenn nach erfolgter Operation Storungen der Vitalfunktion vorliegen oder drohen.
