Fungi of the genus Phytophthora were found to be associated with the initial stages of leaf litter decay of Rhizophora mangle L. and other Rhizophora species in estuarine and coastal marine waters. Phytophthora appears to be an important component of red-mangrove litter degradation systems throughout the tropics, which includes the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. The distributions of Phytophthora vesicula Anastasiou et Churchland and four new species of Phytophthora are discussed, as well as their occurrence in other tropical marine allochthonous spermatophytic leaf litter. The descriptions of the new species and varieties, Phytophthora bahamensis, P. epistomium, P. mycoparasitica, P. spinosa var. spinosa, and P. spinosa var. lobata, are presented.Pythium was rarely observed in the mangrove litter system, although one species, Pythium grandisporangium sp.nov., is described.

AbstractEnvironmental DNA (eDNA) is a promising biomonitoring tool for marine ecosystems, but its effectiveness for North Pacific coastal fishes is limited by the inability of existing barcoding primers to differentiate among rockfishes in the genus Sebastes. Comprised of 110 commercially and ecologically important species, this recent radiation is exceptionally speciose, and exhibits high sequence similarity among species at standard barcoding loci. Here, we report new Sebastes-specific metabarcoding primers that target mitochondrial cytochrome B. Amongst the 110 Sebastes species, 85 unique barcodes (of which 62 are species-specific) were identified in our amplicon region based on available reference sequences. The majority of the remaining barcodes are shared by only two species. Importantly, MiSebastes yield unique barcodes for 28 of 44 commercially harvested species in California, a dramatic improvement compared to the widely employed MiFish 12S primers which only recover one of 44. Tests of these primers in an aquarium mesocosm containing 16 rockfish species confirms the utility of these new primers for eDNA metabarcoding, providing an important biomonitoring tool for these key coastal marine fishes.
