| Abstract |
Hydroids are common constituents of marine environments, both as benthic polyps and planktonic hydromedusae. Despite the volume of hydroid research focused on the northwest Atlantic, the only comprehensive examinations of hydroids from Cape Breton Island were published by Charles McLean Fraser in 1913 and 1927. In this study, we reexamined the shallow-water hydroid community of Cape Breton. We collected hydroids from 19 sites between July 2016 and June 2017 spanning intertidal and shallow subtidal habitats. We sorted specimens into individual taxa based on morphology and then preserved them for further morphological and molecular analyses. We amplified the 16SrRNA barcoding gene for select specimens and used BLAST searches to determine the strongest matches in GenBank. We performed molecular phylogenetic analyses to refine identifications where necessary. We recorded 19 hydroid taxa spanning 15 genera, 10 families, and 2 orders. Species diversity was low relative to other NW Atlantic regions, likely due to sporadic sampling and our focus on nearshore, shallow-water localities. However, 3 species, Pachycordyle michaeli, Podocorynoides minima, and Lizzia blondina, were new occurrences for Atlantic Canada. Additionally, our results provided further evidence of cryptic speciation in Obelia dichotoma. This updated species inventory represents an important benchmark of hydroid diversity for future comparisons. |
