Abstract
AbstractThis is a phylogeographical study of Juxtacribrilina mutabilis, a recently described bryozoan from Japan with sightings in Sweden, Norway, and Maine (US), to test how fast and far it has expanded across Europe in recent years. J. mutabilis settles easily on ship hulls, making it a useful model organism for studying long-distance invasion pathways. The study was conducted using Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) to monitor the entire European coastline and Svalbard for J. mutabilis using DNA metabarcoding. During the time between its first sighting in Europe 2008 and the last ARMS retrieval 2020, the data shows how J. mutabilis has gained a pan-European distribution, being genetically identified in 14 new distinct locations. Presence/absence of barcodes were confirmed by image-based identification in 74% of the samples. Fourteen haplotypes never reported before were discovered in a 264 bp region of the cytochrome oxidase I gene. Two haplotypes (HP1 and HP3) occurred frequently and geographically widely dispersed, indicating intercontinental connectivity. Two locations, Koster and Getxo showed particularly high genetic diversity with similar haplotype networks suggesting continuous gene flow across oceanographically unlinked regions. Given the recent description of J. mutabilis and the relatively few historical encounters, the genetic diversity described here suggests an unusually fast range expansion within the last two decades. Such global spreading events of fouling organisms may become more common in the future as a result of more frequent and interconnected ship traffic.
