Despite being one of the most well-studied families of the Hydrozoa, their genus and species-level taxonomy is unsettled and disputed.

Our data show that Podocoryna carnea and P. exigua are distinct and geographically disjunct species, P. borealis is paraphyletic with respect to Podocoryna sp. from South Africa and P. bella from New Zealand. Podocoryna australis, from New Zealand form a distinct monophyletic group. Podocoryna from New England, New York and Florida all fall into a distinct monophyletic group (P. americana) and fail to support the existence of a distinct, P. selena in the Gulf of Mexico. Hydractinia pruvoti is the only species within the Podocoryna clade without fully formed medusae. We identify a Clava clade closely related to other algae dwelling Hydractiniidae. Our data do not recover Stylactaria inabai from Japan as a distinct species from S. misakiensis, and S. carcinicola as distinct from H. epiconcha. Also, 10 colonies identified as S. carcinicola fall into a distantly related clade that is close to the American S. hooperi. Finally, we identify Janaria mirabilis as the sister group to the H. echinata species complex and clarify the relationships between the H. echinata, H. symbiopollicaris, H. polyclina, H. symbiolongicarpus and H.

The basic hydrozoan life cycle includes a benthic colonial stage that reproduces asexually, and a pelagic sexual medusa (jellyfish) stage that is asexually produced by the colony (Fig. 1). While some hydractiniid species retain the complete polyp/medusa life cycle, in most hydractiniid species the swimming medusa stage is reduced to the point where it is never released from the colony. The polyps of hydrozoan colonies are connected to one another by gastrovascular canals known as stolons (Fig. 1). Hydractiniid colonies typically grow on marine surfaces as epibionts, with most living on gastropod shells occupied by living gastropods or by hermit crabs (Mills 1976; Buss & Yund 1989; Schuchert 2008). Other hydractiniid colonies grow on algae or rock substrata. The family Hydractiniidae © 2009 The Authors.

P. Miglietta et al. Fig. 1 A, B. General hydrozoan life cycle with fully functional medusa (typical of the genus Podocoryna, Fam. Hydractiniidae) (A) and with medusa reduced to sporosac (B). Intermediate forms, with medusae reduced to non-feeding, swimming medusoids are also found in the Hydrozoa in general and in the Family Hydractiniidae. comprises about 106 nominal species and 10 extant genera (Bouillon et al. 2006). Despite being one of the most well-studied families of the Hydrozoa, the genus and species-level taxonomy is unsettled and disputed (Schuchert 2008; Boero et al. 1998). The taxonomic difficulties of the Hydractiniidae are due both to a paucity of morphological characters, and the often-extreme plasticity seen when colonies of the same species are found at different stages of growth or different environmental conditions. Here we report the species-level implications of 226 mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit (16S) rDNA sequences from around the world. Difficulty of diagnosing hydractiniid genera The three main and most speciose genera of the Hydractiniidae (Hydractinia van Beneden 1867; Podocoryna Sars 1846; and Stylactaria Stechow 1921a) are traditionally distinguished with a combination of two morphological and developmental characters, one involving the developmental stage of sexually mature medusae, and the other involving the developmental stage of the colony itself. The likelihood that the major genera are not monophyletic led Bouillon et al. (1997), Boero et al. (1998) and Bouillon et al. (2006) to propose merging Hydractinia, Stylactaria and Podocoryna into the oldest one — Hydractinia. These authors used the argument that neither the state of the hydrorhiza nor the presence/absence of a medusa allows an unambiguous separation of the genera due 404 to intergrading forms. The present paper does not aim to resolve the genus-level discussion; this will be done in a separate study that includes more nuclear genes. Some genus allocations used in this article are thus provisional and correspond more to common usage than strict monophyletic clades. Degree of medusa reduction in hydractiniid genera The genus Podocoryna is characterized by having fully-formed swimming medusae that are asexually produced from the benthic colony stage. These medusae are normally fully formed, that is, they have radial canals, tentacles and a manubrium with a functional mouth. In all the other hydractiniid genera — including the largest genera (Stylactaria and Hydractinia) — the medusae becomes sexually mature before they complete development (paedomorphosis, Boero & Sara 1987; Cunningham & Buss 1993). There are two levels of paedomorphosis in the Hydractiniidae, eumedusoids and sporosacs. Eumedusoids are partially formed medusae that become sexually mature without completing development to the point where they can swim normally. Depending on the species or the environmental conditions, eumedusoids are sometimes released from the colony, but cannot move far before they release their gametes. In other cases, eumedusoids are never released from the colony, effectively ending the alternation of asexual and sexual generations that characterize the Hydrozoa. Sporosacs represent the most extreme case of Zoologica Scripta, 38, 4, July 2009, pp403–430 • © 2009 The Authors. Journal compilation © 2009 The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters M. P. Miglietta et al. • Reconciling genealogical and morphological species in the Hydractiniidae paedomorphosis, so that gametes are produced inside sacs that are not only attached to the colony, but have lost any traces of the medusa stage, most notably the radial canals that are present in eumedusoids. Characteristics of colony formation in hydractiniid genera The genera Stylactaria and Hydractinia have been diagnosed by the structure of the hydrorhiza, the network of stolons connecting the polyps (Millard 1975; Calder 1988; Hirohito 1988; Schuchert 1996). The hydrorhiza of Stylactaria is formed by stolons — often forming a close reticulated meshwork — that are always enclosed in the non-living, chitinous periderm. The hydrorhiza of Hydractinia colonies is composed of stolons that coalesce into a mat whose top layer is composed of living tissue, formally referred to as naked coenosarc. Chitin is produced in other parts of Hydractinia colonies, but not on the top layer of the mat. In many species of the genus Podocoryna — which differs from the other genera by producing free-swimming fully-formed medusae — colonies routinely progress from periderm-covered reticulate stolons to a more fully-developed coalescence of stolons with naked coenosarc. In terms of timing of development, these can be described as events of heterochrony (Blackstone 1996). The Stylactaria condition can be described as paedomorphic, since it stops at the periderm-covered stage, and the Hydractinia condition can be described as accelerated since it reaches the naked coenosarc stage well before achieving reproductive maturity (Blackstone 1996). Rare hydractiniid genera Other genera in the Hydractiniidae are Hydrissa Stechow 1921, Clavactinia Thornely 1904, Janaria Stechow 1921a, Hydrocorella Stechow 1921b, Fiordlandia Schuchert 1996, Kinetocodium Kramp 1922, Hansiella Bouillon 1980, and Tregubovia Picard 1958 (see Bouillon et al. 2006). These genera are generally rare, and morphologically very distinct. For example, Janaria and Hydrocorella form fully calcified skeletons. Finally, the genus Clava was originally placed in the Family Clavidae, but has been recently reassigned to the Hydractiniidae (Schuchert 2001). Difficulty of diagnosing hydractiniid species Species-level identification is famously difficult not only in the Hydractiniidae but in the entire class Hydrozoa. Many of the more than 100 nominal species of Hydractiniidae are at present not recognizable due to inadequate descriptions (see also Schuchert 2008). Many species are known only from the original — and sometimes very old — descriptions, some dating back more than a century and often lacking morphological information now considered important for correct identification. Adding to the confusion, these animals show extreme morphological plasticity depending on the substratum or environmental conditions. As described below, morphotypes of the same species have been described as different species, resulting in an overestimation of species diversity. On the other hand, the presence of sibling species with little or no morphological diversification leads to an underestimation of this diversity. As an example, the most thoroughly studied species of the family has usually been referred to in the literature — regardless of where it was collected — as Hydractinia echinata (Fleming 1828). This was divided into four sibling species, with H. echinata in Europe, and three morphologically very similar species in North America (H. symbiolongicarpus, H. symbiopollicaris and H. polyclina Buss & Yund 1989). Even this did not reflect the extent of the cryptic diversity. As described below, there is a fourth, undescribed Hydractinia species in the Gulf of Mexico, and the European Hydractinia echinata is itself composed of two distinct species. This confusion over species identity is especially important because some species of the family Hydractiniidae are wellestablished model organisms for a wide array of studies ranging from gene expression to developmental biology and colony growth (Yund et al. 1987; Schierwater et al. 1991; Blackstone & Buss 1993; Blackstone 1996; Cartwright et al. 1999). Given the lack of clarity and necessary details of some species description, together with the intrinsic difficulty to tell Hydractiniidae species apart, many experimental studies might have been carried out on material of dubious identity (Boero et al. 1998). An mtDNA-based analysis of worldwide collection of hydractiniid species This article investigates mitochondrial and nuclear gene genealogies for 226 Hydractiniidae colonies or medusae collected worldwide (Table 1). We report an effort to reconcile described morphospecies with monophyletic groups reconstructed using fragments of the mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit gene (16S) and the nuclear gene Elongation Factor 1α. The 16S gene is much more easily amplified in Hydrozoa than COI. Although the 16S gene evolves about one-third as fast as COI (Govindarajan et al. 2005), comparisons of several cryptic species in the hydrozoan genus Obelia did not find any cases where a monophyletic group was identified by COI but not 16S (Govindarajan et al. 2005), and the same is true for several hydractiniid species (Cunningham, unpublished observations). Where possible, we apply a genealogical species concept to provisionally identify evolutionarily significant units (Baum & Shaw 1995).

Reconciling genealogical and morphological species in the Hydractiniidae • M. P. Miglietta et al. were made available by A. Lindner. Samples will be deposited at the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History (NMNH, Washington, DC, USA). Some specimens are also described by Schuchert (2008) and have been deposited in the Natural History Museum of Geneva (MHNG), and others were previously deposited in the Peabody Museum at Yale University (see Appendix I for specimen voucher information). Colonies were collected by SCUBA diving, snorkelling, trawling and dredging on various habitats, and by filtering sand. Plankton nets were used to collect medusae from the plankton. Samples were fixed both in formalin (for morphological investigations) and in 95% ethanol (for molecular analyses). The species were identified using, among others, bibliographic references listed in Table 2. Where possible, the collected material was also compared with type material or other reference specimens obtained as loans from various museums and private collections (Appendix 1). A total of 38 nominal species and 6 unidentified species were sampled and sequenced. For the latter set, only one colony or one medusa was found. The available material has not allowed description of new species that would meet all the requirements of the Code of Zoological Nomenclature. However, they still represent the biodiversity of the family and were therefore kept in the analyses. Not included in the analysis were sequences from the species formerly known as Podocoryna minuta (Mayer 1900b; synonymous with Lizzia blondina Mayer 1900a) and Podocorynoides minima (Trinci 1903). Both species belong in the Family Rathkeidae (Schuchert 2007). DNA sequencing A 611-bp fragment of the mitochondrial 16S gene was amplified using primers SHA 5′-ACGGAATGAACTCAAATCATGT-3′ and SHB 5′-TCGACTGTTTACCAAAAACATA-3′ (Cunningham & Buss 1993). Amplification took place under the following PCR conditions: 1 min at 94 °C, then 35 cycles of 94 °C for 15 s, 50 °C for 1 : 30 min and 72 °C for 2 : 30 min with a final extension at 72 °C for 5 min. For some representatives of each of the major clades 231 bp of the nuclear marker Elongation Factor1α (EF1α) was also amplified and sequenced. Primers for the EF1α were designed by Lindner et al. (2008). PCR annealing temperature ranged from 55 to 60 °C depending on the species. Other PCR parameters were as described above for the mitochondrial gene. The PCR product was purified using a QIAquick spincolumn purification kit (Qiagen Inc., Valencia, CA). The purified PCR product was run on a 2% agarose gel stained with ethidium bromide to assay the quantity and quality (i.e. accessory bands) of the product. The purified PCR product was used as a template for double stranded sequencing. 412 Phylogenetic analysis The sequences were first assembled and edited using the software SEQUENCHER 3.0 (Gene Codes Corp., Ann Arbor, MI). They were then aligned using CLUSTALX (Thompson et al. 1997). All the alignments were then confirmed and edited by eye in MacClade 4.06 OS X (Maddison & Maddison 2000). A variable region of the mitochondrial 16S gene, comprising a total of 28 bp was difficult to align in the complete data set, and was removed for some analyses. The nuclear EF1α sequences also contained a highly variable intron that was deleted from the analysis. Phylogenetic analysis of the aligned sequences was performed using the maximum parsimony optimality criterion in PAUP* version 4.0b10 for Macintosh (Swofford 2001) and the maximum likelihood (ML) optimality criterion in GARLI v0.951.OsX-GUI (Zwickl 2006). Clade stability was assessed by ML bootstrap analyses (Felsenstein 1985) in GARLI (100 bootstrap replicates). The ML analyses in GARLI were performed using random starting trees and default termination conditions. The best-fit model of nucleotide substitution for each gene was a six-parameter model with invariant sites and gamma distribution. The parameters for this model were estimated by GARLI during each run. Results and discussion As described in the Introduction, gene genealogies using the mitochondrial 16S gene have been shown to reliably identify reciprocally monophyletic clades in the Hydrozoa (Schuchert 2005; Govindarajan et al. 2005; Miglietta et al. 2007; Miglietta & Lessios 2008; Moura et al. 2008). The 16S gene is less successful at recovering deeper nodes within the Hydractiniidae (Cunningham & Buss 1993). In this article, we will focus mostly on assigning monophyletic groups to nominal species based on the 16S gene. A complete study of species relationships and the monophyly of genera require additional data, and will be addressed in a separate paper (Miglietta et al. manuscript in preparation). We begin by analysing all of our 16S sequences together. Then, we discuss each of four major clades or grades in turn, bringing to bear nuclear EF1α sequences where available. The nuclear data helped confirm that nuclear and mitochondrial markers are identifying genealogically distinct species. Complete phylogenies of 16S and EF1α The complete 16S data set comprised 233 sequences (Table 1), including 226 members of the Family Hydractiniidae and 7 outgroup sequences belonging to the Stylasteridae, the sister group of the Hydractiniidae (Cairns 1983a; Cairns & Barnard 1984, 1987; Cartwright et al. in press). After removing the 28 bp variable region, the aligned sequences included 611 bp of the 16S mitochondrial gene. This region included 330 constant sites, 194 phylogenetically-informative sites, and 87 autapomorphies. Zoologica Scripta, 38, 4, July 2009, pp403–430 • © 2009 The Authors.

Figure 2A–C present the maximum-likelihood phylogeny for all 233 sequences. Species assignments for reciprocally monophyletic groups were made through extensive consultation with the taxonomic literature. Figure 3 shows the EF1α phylogeny for a subset of samples. This nuclear gene was more difficult to amplify and sequence, but is remarkably congruent with the 16S phylogeny. Collection details are presented in Table 1. Information about each nominal species and relevant literature are presented in Table 2. In several cases, probable species were only identified by single sequences that were diverged from other monophyletic groups of taxa, were geographically disjunct, or were confirmed by EF1α (Figs 2A–4 ). The Podocoryna clade Figure 4 shows a 16S phylogeny of this species group that includes the 28 bp variable region excluded in the full phylogeny shown in Fig. 2. This phylogeny shows a strongly supported (100% bootstrap) group that includes all sequences from species known to produce fully formed medusae — the definition of the genus Podocoryna (see above). The genus Podocoryna is paraphyletic, since this strongly supported group also includes one species with a partially-formed, paedomorphic medusa (Hydractinia pruvoti). These species are discussed in the context of the phylogeny in Figs 3 and 4. Podocoryna hayamaensis/Hydractinia pruvoti. Podocoryna hayamaensis is the only Podocoryna species we found in Japan, despite the fact that three Podocoryna species were distinguished by Emperor Hirohito (1988) from the main location where we collected (Sagami Bay, near Shimoda Bay). Although Hirohito named only one of them, this is probably nevertheless a case of over-splitting, as Hirohito (1988) often separated new species on the basis of their substratum type. Our discovery of no other Japanese Podocoryna besides P. hayamaensis is consistent with the fact that P. hayamaensis is the only Japanese Podocoryna with a fully-described life cycle (Hirohito 1988), suggesting that the other two species distinguished by Hirohito may not be valid. Some of the P. hayamaensis colonies found in the Japanese Inland Sea at Ushimato deviated from Hirohito’s description of 20 tentacles, since the Inland Sea colonies had feeding polyps with only six to eight tentacles (localities in Table 1). However, no genetic differences were found within this species, which may mean these differences are environmentally induced. Hydractinia pruvoti is the only species in the Podocoryna clade without fully formed medusae. The gonophores of this species Zoologica Scripta, 38, 4, July 2009, pp403–430 • © 2009 The Authors.

The eumedusoids have apparently no functional mouth, but may have tentacle rudiments. Otherwise they are similar to other Podocoryna medusae and most likely represent a very recent case of paedomorphosis (Boero & Sara 1987; Cunningham & 416 Buss 1993). As discussed by Schuchert (2008), H. pruvoti is very rare, endemic to the Western Mediterranean, and is known from only a few collections. Podocoryna carnea/P. exigua.

Our results confirm Schuchert’s (2008) judgement that P. carnea and P. exigua are distinct, geographically disjunct species, with P. carnea ranging from Norway to Denmark, and P. exigua ranging from Brittany in France to the Mediterranean (Table 1). The type locality of P. carnea is Norway (Sars 1846), and our single sample collected from the North Sea coast of Denmark (Table 1) matched the carnea morphotype (see Schuchert 2008). In the 16S phylogeny (Fig. 4), the samples of P. exigua form a tight monophyletic group relative to the sample of P. carnea, which is 10 bp diverged from the P. exigua clade (1.6% p-distance).

P. Miglietta et al. specific status of P. carnea is also supported by its position as distinct from P. exigua in the nuclear EF1α phylogeny (Fig. 3). The importance of properly defining the species status of these species is underlined by the fact that two GenBank records of P. carnea — one 16S (Collins et al. 2005; GenBank AY512513) and one EF1α sequence (Groeger et al. 1999; GenBank AJ549292) — should both be renamed as P. exigua according to Figs 3 and 4. Podocoryna americana/P. selena. The 16S sequences of Podocoryna from New England, New York and Florida all fall into a distinct monophyletic group (Fig. 4), confirming the judgement of Edwards (1972) on the specific status of P. americana. Most studies on the East Coast of the United States by non-taxonomists have named their samples P. carnea (e.g. Cunningham & Buss 1993; Bridge et al. 2004; Bumann & Buss 2008), and should now refer to P. americana. In contrast, more extensive sampling of P. americana follows Cunningham & Buss (1993) in failing to support the existence of a distinct, P. selena in the Gulf of Mexico, suggesting that P. selena should be subsumed under P. americana. This is in contrast to the situation in Hydractinia, where the Gulf of Mexico samples are strongly diverged (see below). Podocoryna borealis/P. australis/P. bella/P. sp. We collected P. borealis from Iceland and Scotland. Both the 16S and EF1α phylogenies (Figs 3 and 4) confirm Edwards’s (1972) and Schuchert’s (2008) judgement that the distinct morphology of the P. borealis medusae sets it apart from the other North Atlantic Podocoryna species. The 16S phylogeny shows P. borealis to be a paraphyletic group (Fig. 4), although the EF1α phylogeny in Fig. 3 shows two P. borealis individuals descended from a single common ancestor. Although this may simply be a rooting problem caused by the long branches of H. pruvoti and P. hayamaensis, the paraphyly of P. borealis is confirmed by two samples from the Southern hemisphere that are nested within P. borealis in both the 16S and EF1α phylogenies (Figs 3 and 4). This includes one sample of P. bella from New Zealand from a fish, and one undescribed sample from South Africa (P. sp. Table 1). The remaining Podocoryna samples from New Zealand are P. australis, which form a distinct monophyletic group in both the 16S and EF1α phylogenies (Figs 3 and 4). The observation that P. bella from New Zealand is distinct from P. australis collected from Otago Bay confirms Schuchert’s (1996) opinion that P. bella, found growing on the pigfish Congiopodus leucopaecilius is distinct from the more common P. australis. The 16S sequence of the New Zealand P. bella sample differs only in 4 bp from the Northern P. borealis (0.5%, Fig. 4), thereby falling within the range of intraspecific variation in P. borealis (Fig. 4). The adult medusa of P. bella is unknown (Schuchert 1996) and the polyps and young 420 medusae of P. bella are very similar to P. borealis. The similarities at the molecular and morphological level of P. borealis and P. bella suggest that also the unknown adult medusa of P. bella will resemble P. borealis. An unidentifiable Podocoryna medusa was collected from South Africa (Podocoryna sp. South Africa: Figs 2A and 4). The latter medusa was an immature juvenile, had eight tentacles and was therefore indistinguishable from P. borealis of the same age. The 16S sequence of this sample was 9 bp diverged from H. borealis (Fig. 4 and 1.4%). Though further sampling is needed to confirm whether the southern taxa form genealogically-monophyletic groups, the P. borealis complex appears to form a closely related, anti-tropical clade in the cold waters of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. One prominent Podocoryna species in the North Atlantic, P. areolata collected from Norway, could not be included in this study as its 16S sequence (GeneBank accession number AM939651) became available only after all the analyses were done. A preliminary analysis including P. areolata placed also this species safely within the Podocoryna clade (data not shown) (Figs 2A and 4). The Clava clade Clava multicornis. Clava multicornis colonies generally show the characteristics of Stylactaria, with periderm-covered stolons. The medusae are strongly paedomorphic, showing the sporosac condition of a complete absence of radial canals and never being released from the colony, so that gametes are released directly from sporosacs clustered below the feeding tentacles (Schuchert 2008 and references therein). Unlike most hydractiniids, including Podocoryna, Clava polyps are never polymorphic (Schuchert 2008 and references therein). Clava is a monotypic genus whose unusual arrangement of sporosacs originally placed them in the Family Clavidae (but see Schuchert 2001). Our sampling of Clava multicornis 16S confirms Schuchert’s (2008) judgement that it is found across the North Atlantic, including Iceland (Fig. 4). Stylactaria inermis/S. fucicola/S. sp. Sargassum. Unlike most members of the Hydractiniidae, Clava multicornis is usually found growing on fucoid algae. In the Mediterranean there are two Stylactaria species that are also found growing on algae, namely S. inermis, and S. fucicola. The former is the type species for the genus Stylactaria. Like Clava, these species can also be found on substrata such as rocks, but unlike most hydractiniids, they are never found on motile substrata such as gastropod shells occupied by living snails or hermit crabs. These two species do not share Clava’s derived morphology, and have some degree of polymorphism in their polyps. Stylactaria inermis and S. fucicola are very difficult to distinguish morphologically, a difficulty that is compounded by their being found on the same substrata (Schuchert 2008). Zoologica Scripta, 38, 4, July 2009, pp403–430 • © 2009 The Authors. Journal compilation © 2009 The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters M. P. Miglietta et al. • Reconciling genealogical and morphological species in the Hydractiniidae The 16S sequences of S. inermis and S. fucicola show very deep divergences. The four S. inermis sequences fall into two monophyletic groups nearly 6% apart from one another (Fig. 4). Each of the S. inermis clades is 5.6% diverged from both the Clava clade and our single S. fucicola sequence (Fig. 4), suggesting that they represent two cryptic species. Finally, a colony growing on the algae of the genus Sargassum in Japan (Stylactaria sp. 1 on Sargassum, Fig. 4) is 6.3% diverged from Clava, S. inermis, and S. fucicola. To summarize, all three algae dwelling Stylactaria — which include the type for the genus — plus Clava are between 5.6 – 6.3% diverged from one another. Although additional nuclear data are needed, these four algae dwelling species probably form a monophyletic group (Miglietta et al. in preparation). The deep divergences in these lineages sharply contrast with those separating the European Podocoryna species (between 1.5% and 2.4% from one another, and 3% diverged from the P. Americana) (Fig. 4). More nuclear data and greater sampling are needed for the algae dwellers. However, for comparison the Podocoryna species, with much smaller 16S divergences, are shown by the EF1α phylogeny in Fig. 3 to be true genealogical species (see discussion above). As a final point, it is intriguing that in both the Podocoryna and Clava clades there are divergent, predominantly Mediterranean lineages (see H. pruvoti above and in Figs 3 and 4). Even the morphologically homogeneous S. inermis/S. fucicola group has three divergent lineages with distances twice as great as between most Podocoryna species. The ages of these lineages almost certainly pre-date the Mediterranean, and may be Tethyan remnants (Figs 2A, 3 and 5). The Japanese misakiensis/inabai/multigranosi clade This Japanese species group is found in shallow waters with partially developed eumedusoids having few or no tentacles, and periderm-covered stolons. The stolons place them in the polyphyletic genus Stylactaria. This species group can be divided into three closely related, geographically disjunct genealogical species based on congruent 16S and EF1α phylogenies (Figs 3 and 5). These phylogenies show three closely related groups, corresponding to geographical regions and separated by fixed differences. The northern group can clearly be assigned to S. multigranosi based on its host (the gastropod Nassarius multigranosus) and its location on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido (Namikawa 1991). The Central Japanese group is a mix of individuals identified according to Hirohito’s (1988) diagnosis depending on their host, with Stylactaria inabai being found on hermit crabs, and S. misakiensis being found on gastropods. The EF1α and 16S phylogenies (Figs 3 and 5) show that there are no consistent DNA sequence differences between individuals collected from gastropods and hermit crabs on sandy bottoms with eelgrass at three different locations (Shimoda Marine Laboratory, Misaki Marine Station, and Nabeta). This strongly suggests that this group of putative S. inabai and S. misakiensis individuals should be collapsed into the older S. misakiensis (Iwasa 1934) — shallow-water hydroids found on either gastropods or hermit crabs off the Pacific Coast of Central Japan. The genetic distance (p) between S. misakiensis and S. multigranosi in the mitochondrial gene is 0.5%. To the South, in the Seto Inland Sea of Japan, a third genealogical species is identified by the EF1α and 16S phylogenies (Figs 3 and 5; samples 211, 213, 216, 238). These were always small colonies found on shallow, mud-dwelling gastropods with no visible reproductive structures. The genetic distances (p) between this third clade and S. misakiensis and S. multigranosi, in the mitochondrial gene, are, respectively, 0.7% and 0.5% Hirohito (1988) observed consistent morphological differences between S. misakiensis depending on whether they were found on gastropod or hermit crab hosts. These differences appear to be induced by the substratum where they are found. For example, the hermit-crab dwellers have their periderm-covered stolons in parallel bundles that can grow past the margin of the shell as the hermit crab grows larger. The gastropod dwellers have reticulate stolons and never grow past the margin of the shell. Intra-specific, substratuminduced differences in morphology are common in hydrozoans (see Piraino et al. 1990 for a brief review). The EF1α phylogeny shows the Seto Inland Sea species to be a sister-group to the Central Japanese S. misakiensis. Since there are no morphological features on the Inland Sea colonies, they will be considered a sub-species of S. misakiensis (Figs 2B, 3 and 6). The Japanese carcinicola/epiconcha group A second group of Japanese hydractiniids found off the Pacific Coast of Central Japan (variously known as S. carcinicola and H. epiconcha) can be distinguished morphologically because the formerly discussed S. misakiensis has much smaller polyps (1–2 mm) than carcinicola/epiconcha (6–10 mm). This species group illustrates both of the major problems in hydrozoan taxonomy: splitting taxa that are not distinguishable by genetic data (as was the case with S. misakiensis vs. S. inabai, above); and the inability to morphologically distinguish distantly related clades, as described in the following discussion. More than any other species group, this one shows how the presence of periderm-free areas on the colony (naked coenosarc) — traditionally used to identify the genus Hydractinia — is a misleading character. Figure 6 shows a 16S phylogeny with H. epiconcha colonies sharing identical haplotypes with S. carcinicola. It should be noted, though, that Hirohito (1988) observed that the apparently naked coenosarc of H. epiconcha had a very thin covering of periderm, consistent with being placed in Stylactaria.

Individuals from each of the subclades had identical EF1α sequences (112 H. epiconcha Japan, 089 S carcinicola Japan) that were 3 bp diverged from a colony bearing the basal mitochondrial haplotype (105 S carcinicola Japan). For this reason all these species will be collapsed under the older name of H. epiconcha (Stechow 1907), although the generic designation will need to be revisited. More importantly, of a total of 52 colonies morphologically identified as H. epiconcha or S. carcinicola, only 42 are shown in Fig. 6 as H. epiconcha. This is because the remaining 10 colonies identified as S. carcinicola (Fig. 2B, samples 189–202, 204, 206, 208–210) fall into a distantly related clade that is 422 close to the American S. hooperi (Sigerfoos 1899; discussed in following section). These 10 colonies were morphologically indistinguishable from the 22 in Fig. 6 originally identified as S. carcinicola (Fig. 6). This is a very deep divergence, on the order of millions of years, between colonies that cannot thus far be distinguished morphologically from one another.

A morphological resemblance between S. carcinicola and the Atlantic S. hooperi (Sigerfoos 1899) has been noted in the literature (Hirohito 1988). Although most S. carcinicola colonies (22 of 32) are now collapsed into H. epiconcha (see discussion above), Zoologica Scripta, 38, 4, July 2009, pp403–430 • © 2009 The Authors.

Miglietta et al. • Reconciling genealogical and morphological species in the Hydractiniidae Fig. 6 Maximum likelihood phylogenetic hypotheses based on partial 16S mitochondrial gene for the Japanese H. carcinicola. Bootstrap notations are as in Fig. 3. 10 S carcinicola colonies fall into a clade that includes a Japanese unidentified species (Hydractinia sp. 4 from the Seto Inland Sea at Ushimado), a Mediterranean species (H. calderi), and species on the Western and Eastern Coasts of North America. Although Cunningham & Buss (1993) called the species found on gastropods in the Monterey Bay California, S. hooperi, this name must be reserved for the population represented by the individual taken from a bivalve in Woods Hole, Massachusetts (205 Stylactaria hooperi USA). In the 16S tree (Fig. 2B), the Woods Hole S. hooperi falls in a clade with the 10 S carcinicola colonies mentioned above. Although this might suggest that the Japanese colonies should be named S. hooperi, limited sampling of EF1α sequences indicates that the Japanese S. carcinicola fall outside of a group that includes the Californian Monterey Bay species, the Massachusetts S. hooperi, and the Italian H. calderi (Fig. 3). Until the New England population can be sampled in greater detail, we will retain the name S. carcinicola for the 10 Japanese colonies. Hydractinia serrata (Fig. 2B). This species is very common in the Bering Sea living on gastropods, hermit crabs, and crab carapaces. One sample has been found as far south as Friday Harbor, Washington, on a hermit crab. There is a second, diverged mitochondrial lineage in the Bering Sea (46 H. serrata © 2009 The Authors.

P. Miglietta et al. USA), that probably represents a cryptic species, but we were unable to amplify EF1α from H. serrata so confirmation of a second genealogical species in the Bering Sea will have to wait. Like many other hydractiniids that live on hermit crabs, H. serrata grows beyond the lip of the gastropod shell on which it is found (See discussion of S. misakiensis/inabai above, and H. polyclina below). In H. serrata, though, this growth is taken to an extreme on the hermit crab Labidochirus splendescens. This hermit crab is always found in association with H. serrata, and inspection of the shell reveals that almost all of the ‘shell’ is formed from the H. serrata colony, with only a tiny gastropod shell at its centre (Abrams et al. 1986). Colonies of H. serrata have been collected from Norway (Cunningham, personal observation), but DNA sequences are not available to confirm the species identity. Allmanii/antonii/conchicola group (Figs 2B and 3). Also found in the Bering Sea is Hydractinia allmanii (see Naumov 1969), which is only found on hermit crabs (never on gastropods or true crabs). This species does not extend the shell of its hermit crab hosts, and is also found in Iceland (Figs 2B and 3). This species has eumedusoids (Rees 1956; Schuchert 2001) with four radial canals, as does the unusual H. antonii (Miglietta 2006), which is also found in the Bering Sea. H. antonii has a calcified skeleton that is very different from the calcified skeleton in the distantly related hydractiniid Janaria (see discussion below). In the same clade, though, is the Japanese S. conchicola, which has entirely reduced sporosac reproductive structures, and has opposite host-specificity to H. allmanii, being only found on the living gastropod Homalopoma sagarensis in Hokkaido, Japan (Yamada 1947; Namikawa et al. 1992; Hirohito 1988). To summarize, this species group is found in the coldtemperate region of the northern hemisphere, including yet another likely species from the Bering Sea, 128 H. sp. USA in Fig. 2B (H. sp. 1 in Table 2). Milleri/laevispina/uchidai/altispina group (Figs 2B and 3). Like the allmanii/conchicola group, this clade also has a mix of taxa with eumedusoids retaining radial canals, and reduced sporosacs with no trace of canals or other medusoid features. This group is found in the northern and southern hemisphere, including two species with eumedusoids (Figs 2B and 3): the algae-dwelling Japanese S. reticulata and the eumedusoidbearing South African H. altispina, collected from a living gastropod. These species are basal to a monophyletic clade with sporosacs, including the Japanese H. uchidai from consolidated sediment in Muroran, Hokkaido, the algaedwelling individual collected on algae in the Monterey Bay of California (078 Hydractinia sp. in Figs 2B and 3). The sporosac-bearing group includes H. milleri, which is common on rocks in the intertidal zone of the Central Californian 424 Pacific Coast (Bodega Bay). Comparison of 16S and EF1α indicates a second genealogical species collected on a rock in deeper waters off Catalina, California, and off of a floating dock in Vancouver Canada (Figs 2B and 3). This second milleri-like species is most likely H. laevispina (though called H. californica in Cunningham & Buss 1993). H. laevispina is known to live on non-motile substrates like rocks and barnacle shells (Fraser 1922). Further sampling of both 16S and EF1α will be required to establish the apparently overlapping ranges of H. milleri and H. laevispina (Figs 2C, 3 and 7). The echinata species group The species group that has received the most attention as a model system for laboratory studies of histo-recognition (Lange et al. 1988; Buss & Grosberg 1990; Grosberg et al. 1996; Mokady & Buss 1997; Hart & Grosberg 1999; Grosberg 2000; Cadavid et al. 2004, 1997; Müller et al. 2004; Wilson & Grosberg 2004; Nicotra & Buss 2005; Powell et al. 2007) and laboratory studies is the complex of species in the North Atlantic related to Hydractinia echinata (Fleming 1828). The most important study species have been H. symbiolongicarpus in North America (e.g. Levitan & Grosberg 1993; Grosberg et al. 1997; Hart 1997; Buss & Yund 1988), and H. echinata (e.g. Lange et al. 1989; Müller et al. 2004) in Europe. The 16S and EF1α phylogenies agree that the sister group to the H. echinata clade is Janaria mirabilis from the Gulf of California. This species has a highly calcified skeleton, but shares with the echinata group the reliance on hermit crabs as hosts (Buss & Yund 1989). The H. echinata species complex is almost entirely found living on gastropod shells occupied by hermit crabs (Buss & Yund 1989). Past efforts at distinguishing this species group include tests of reproductive isolation, morphology and allozymes (Buss & Yund 1989), DNA–DNA hybridization (Cunningham et al. 1991), and 16S DNA (Cunningham & Buss 1993). These studies found significant divergence between American and European species, and deep divergence between Hydractinia in the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Coast. The current study confirms the divergence of the Gulf of Mexico species, but sampling in Belgium and Denmark has revealed a second European lineage that cannot be distinguished from two American species. Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus group. Buss & Yund (1989) recognized that the Hydractinia found on the hermit crab P. longicarpus in the Long Island Sound was distinct from the Hydractinia found on the hermit crab P. pollicaris. It was thus named H. symbiolongicarpus. Subsequent DNA–DNA hybridization and 16S phylogenies found that the sister species to H. symbiolongicarpus is an undescribed species found in the Gulf of Mexico, referred to as H. [GM] in Cunningham et al. (1991) and Cunningham & Buss (1993) and Ferrell (2004).

P. Miglietta et al. diverged from H. echinata collected in England and France (Buss & Yund 1989). The current study has found no genetic differences between H. polyclina and H. symbiopollicaris in either the EF1α or 16S (Figs 3 and 7). Preliminary studies of COI also found no consistent differences, suggesting that the specific status of H. symbiopollicaris is in doubt, and may perhaps be subsumed under the senior name of H. polyclina L. Agassiz 1862. While the more extensive sampling in this study confirms that H. echinata in France and Scotland are distinct from all American Hydractinia species in both EF1α and 16S (Figs 3 and 7), further sampling in Belgium and Denmark (samples 010–012, 015, 017, 172, 173) has revealed populations that are genetically indistinguishable from either H. symbiopollicaris or H. polyclina (Figs 3 and 7). Until further evidence is found, we conclude that the name H. polyclina applies to a trans-Atlantic species. This trans-Atlantic H. polyclina has been previously referred to as H. symbiopollicaris when found on P. pollicaris shells in North America (Cunningham et al. 1991; Cunningham & Buss 1993) and as H. echinata along the North Sea Coast of Belgium and Denmark. Geographical distribution Of the major clades of Hydractiniidae analysed in this study, 11 are found in the Northwest Pacific (Japan), 8 in the Northeast Pacific (Canada, California, Alaska, Aleutian Islands), 6 in the Mediterranean Sea, 5 in the Northwest Atlantic, 3 in the South Pacific (New Zealand), 2 in the South Atlantic (South Africa), one in the Indian Ocean (Thailand). The North Pacific and especially Japan is the region with the highest diversity of Hydractiniidae. The global distribution of clades appears to be affected to some extent by the ability to disperse through swimming medusae. The clade composed of species with swimming medusae (genus Podocoryna) has representatives around the world, from Japan to the Antipodes, Arctic and Atlantic. It appears to have achieved this broad distribution relatively rapidly, with a fairly recent ancestor compared to most other major clades in Fig. 2. For example, the most recent ancestor of its sister clade is twice as old (the Clava/S. fucicola/S. inermis group). Even further evidence of the dispersal ability of free swimming medusae is a very recent Podocoryna species group is found in Iceland, New Zealand, and South Africa (P. borealis/ P. bella/P. sp. 1 SA). On the other hand, H. polyclina is found on both sides of the North Atlantic despite reproducing with non-swimming sporosacs and being found living on hermit crabs. This is most likely a case of rafting by the host hermit crabs on algal rafts (Wares & Cunningham 2001). Algal rafting also explains the trans-Atlantic range of Clava multicornis, which also has non-swimming sporosacs, but is usually found living directly on seaweed. Other species groups lacking swimming larvae 426 are broadly distributed geographically even in the absence of swimming medusae (e.g. the H. allmanii/S. conchicola group, the S. hooperi (S. carcinicola group)). In these cases, the main explanation for their broad range appears to be their relatively old age. Concluding remarks This study shows the efficacy of using a combination of mitochondrial and nuclear markers to begin to untangle species complexes in the morphologically plastic Hydrozoa. One immediate contribution is to identify the correct names to be used for the species most often used as model organisms for ecological, physiological and developmental studies. Most studies of Atlantic Podocoryna have referred to P. carnea. In America, most of these studies have been carried out on material that should be referred to as P. americana (e.g. Cunningham & Buss 1993; Bridge et al. 2004; Baumann & Buss 2008; Masuda-Nakagawa et al. 2000), and in Europe, the studies by Schmid’s group have been carried out on P. exigua. Because of the work of Buss & Yund (1989), material in American studies have been correctly identified as H. symbiolongicarpus or H. polyclina. In Europe, where Hydractinia is most widely used as a model organism, the situation is very complicated. An essay on H. echinata as a model organism (Frank et al. 2001) mentions that H. echinata can be obtained from laboratories in Plymouth, England, Roscoff France, and Helgoland Germany. Our study shows that these represent two different species: H. echinata (Plymouth and Roscoff) and H. polyclina (Helgoland, Germany). Few of the taxa we defined were not monophyletic, but had fixed differences between them (e.g. Stylactaria multigranosi and S. misakiensis). In another case the mitochondrial and nuclear genes did not agree in the identifications of taxa (i.e. S. hooperi from East and West California). Besides these few exceptions, the criterion of monophyly we adopted worked well in defining taxa. Finally, this work sets the stage for a generic revision of the Hydractiniidae. The type for the Family is Hydractinia echinata (Fleming 1828). While much of the phylogeny is unresolved, it appears that the closest relatives to the H. echinata clade are two morphologically very distinctive genera: Hydrissa and Janaria (the latter having a fully-calcified skeleton. This means that the proposal by Bouillon et al. (1997), Boero et al. (1998) and Bouillon et al. (2006) to collapse Hydractinia, Stylactaria and Podocoryna into the single genus of ‘Hydractinia’ is not practical without eliminating clearly distinct genera such as Janaria. This means that several new monophyletic genera will have to be named on the basis of more intensive phylogenetic analysis and more sequence data.
