    Notes: Two new ciliates—a heterotrich and a hypotrich—have recently been discovered in the shallow benthos of coral reefs on Guam. They are unusual for ciliates in having zooxanthellae, but they share this characteristic with corals and many other reef animals. The heterotrich was a new genus, named Maristentor dinoferus, the hypotrich a Euplotes sp., and the dinoflagellate partner a Symbiodinium sp. Apart from their interest as dual-alveolate symbioses, the heterotrich has abundant, fluorescent pigment with intriguing possibilities for comparison with stentorin and blepharismin pigments from freshwater ciliates that serve in both phototropisms and chemical defense. Comparison with deep-water corals also raises the possibility that the cortical pigment enhances photosynthesis of the zooxanthellae.

    Alveolates and stramenopiles in the coral reef microbenthos (2005)

    Notes: Protists are notably absent from reef biodiversity checklists, with the exception of forams. A recent comprehensive compilation for Guam listed 303 forams, which indicate the level of biodiversity, yet there were only two other protozoans and no lists for benthic microalgae. My studies of the microbenthos began with some tube-dwelling diatoms and colonial Pelagophyceae that form macroscopic, seaweed-like colonies. More recently, I have become interested in two ciliates with symbiotic zooxanthellae, and in looking for these have begun to notice other protists. This presentation will display a “rogue's gallery” of microbenthos, beginning with the alveolates (ciliates—Condylostoma sp. and Euplotes spp. in particular; dinos and the symbioses), then some stramenopiles: diatoms and pelagophytes. The audience will be invited to identify the mystery ciliates and I hope the stills and videos will whet your appetite to study tropical reefs.
