Species Pleuromamma piseki - Plate 12 of morphological figures

Plate 12 Issued from : L. Blanco-bercial, A. Cornils, N. Copley & A. Bucklin in PLoS Currents, 2014, Version 1, p.8]. TCS analysis on the Pleuromamma piseki and Pleuromamma gracilis sequences.

For the authors, a detailed analysis of these two taxa showed a complex pattern, with strong regional-scale genetic structuring of P. gracilis, but no clear isolation from P. piseki .
P. gracilis from the SE Atlantic showed a number of highly divergent haplotypes, but still no amino acid substitutions. Regional-scale genetic structure and the presence of highly-divergent rare haplotypes may be related to the large effective population size of cosmopolitan marine copepods.
In contrast P. piseki did not show strong spatial structure and lacked genetic divergence from P. gracilis. Similar results have been recently reported for the same species complex for other mitochondrial markers (see Halbert, Goetze & Carlon, 2013). Clearly, integrated molecular and morphological analysis of both species throughout their distributional ranges is needed to clarify both the status of the species and their population structure.

Remarks

epi-mesopelagic. Considered as vetical migrator. Sampling depth (sub-Antarct.) : 100-250 m. Overall Depth Range in Sargasso Sea: 0-1000 m (Deevey & Brooks, 1977, Station "S");
Vervoort (1957, p.124) does not maintain the specific rank of this species, following Steuer (1931) as a variety of Pleuromamma gracilis (P. gracilis piseki), but in 1965 (p109) it should be referred to as the Farran's species..
After Tanaka (1960, p.52) the specimen from Suruga Bay measured 1.86 mm; the anal segment of the female has paralell lateral margins; the body larger and stouter than in P. gracilis.

After Bradford-Grieve (1999 b, p.121) the identity of the males is not always clear, there is a possibility that P. gracilis, P. piseki, P. borealis have been confused when they have not been dissected.
