Phylogenetics, systematics and biogeography of deep-sea Pennatulacea (Anthozoa: Octocorallia): evidence from molecules and morphology
No full textDespite its extreme environmental conditions, the deep sea harbours a unique andspecies-rich fauna of mostly unknown age and phylogeny. Pennatulids (Anthozoa:Octocorallia) are a group whose taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships remain poorlyknown and little studied, in spite of their abundance and ecological importance in softbottomcommunities. Phylogenetic analysis of a combination of partial ND2 and msh1sequences produced well-supported phylogenetic relationships for representative deepsea(and shallow-water) pennatulids at familial, generic and specific taxonomic levels.Generally, molecular data were congruent with current classification and previousphylogenetic reconstructions of the O. Pennatulacea based on morphology.Discrepancies were evident concerning the finer details for some families and genera: thiscan be attributable to the high frequency of homoplasy in pennatulids where reversals inevolution have led to taxa that possess apomorphic character states that are analogouswith plesiomorphic traits. Genetic analysis gave strong support that highly-derived taxaoccur in both shallow and deep water and that many may have differentiated anddispersed from the deep sea to the shallows. The Renillidae, which is considered one ofthe most primitive shallow-water families, evolved recently from deep-water ancestors.Conversely, the bathyal Anthoptilidae was the most primitive of families, and althoughmore evidence is required, pennatulids as a group may have originated in deep water.The systematics of the exclusively deep-sea genus Umbellula, which contains fortytwospecies, remains unclear despite the repeated attempts of revision. Incorporatingnew morphological and distributional data from the examination of recently collectedmaterial, together with type specimens, genetic analysis, and a critical study of theliterature, fifteen Umbellula species are here considered valid, including three new toscience. Eight species lack sclerites in the autozooids, U. magniflora, U. encrinus, U.antarctica, U. carpenteri and Umbellula sp.1 n. sp. (quadrangular axes), and U. huxleyi andU. pellucida (round axes); and seven possess autozooid sclerites, U. thomsoni and U.hemigymna (quadrangular axes), and U. monocephalus, U. aciculifera, U. durissima,Umbellula sp.2 n. sp. and Umbellula sp.3 n. sp. (round axes).Biogeographic data and genetic evidence supported the hypothesis that species ofUmbellula differentiated in the Indo-Pacific. Many radiated southwards to the Antarcticand later north into the Atlantic, E Pacific, Indian and Arctic oceans, occupying bathyaland abyssal depths. Other, older species that evolved via a separate evolutionarypathway, may have originated in the Indo-Pacific, and dispersed to the Subantarctic (U.sp.2 n. sp.) or Indian and Atlantic oceans (U. monocephalus). Further, morphologicalexamination of Umbellula showed it adapted to the oligotrophic conditions of the deepsea by reducing the number but increasing the size of the autozooids, and in doing so,enlarged the food-catchment area; abyssal species have done so even more extremely

Self force via m-mode regularization and 2+1D evolution: foundations and a scalar-field implementation on Schwarzschild
No full textTo model the radiative evolution of extreme mass-ratio binary inspirals (a key target of the LISA mission), the community needs efficient methods for computation of the gravitational self-force (SF) on the Kerr spacetime. Here we further develop a practical “m-mode regularization” scheme for SF calculations, and give the details of a first implementation. The key steps in the method are (i) removal of a singular part of the perturbation field with a suitable “puncture” to leave a sufficiently regular residual within a finite worldtube surrounding the particle’s worldline, (ii) decomposition in azimuthal (m) modes, (iii) numerical evolution of the m modes in 2+1D with a finite-difference scheme, and (iv) reconstruction of the SF from the mode sum. The method relies on a judicious choice of puncture, based on the Detweiler-Whiting decomposition. We give a working definition for the “order” of the puncture, and show how it determines the convergence rate of the m-mode sum. The dissipative piece of the SF displays an exponentially convergent mode sum, while the m-mode sum for the conservative piece converges with a power law. In the latter case, the individual modal contributions fall off at large m as m-n for even n and as m-n+1 for odd n, where n is the puncture order. We describe an m-mode implementation with a 4th-order puncture to compute the scalar-field SF along circular geodesics on Schwarzschild. In a forthcoming companion paper we extend the calculation to the Kerr spacetim
