2012年2月10日 · Using X-ray computed microtomography, we are able to visualise the dense canal network that permeates the coenosteum and envelops the gastropores and the dactylopores in all the observed growth stages.

The meaning of DACTYLOPORE is one of the pores in hydrozoan corals through which in life the dactylozooids protrude.

Stylasterids, common name “lace corals”, are fragile, usually small, uniplanar to slightly arborescent colonial hydrozoans of the phylum Cnidaria. Their calcium carbonate skeleton is often pigmented orange, red, pink, blue, brown, or violet).

Dactylopore spines occur on all branch surfaces and are quite variable in orientation, sometimes forming rows of 10–13 spines laterally fused into a short tier on one side of a pore row (unilaterally), the dactylotomes usually facing upward (abcauline), but dactylopore spines also oriented with their dactylotomes facing downward (adcauline ...

... dactylopore spines are clustered together, their back sides fused to one another in a random orientation, these termed compound dactylopore spines ( Figure 6 F).

Distichopora robusta, the first shallow-water stylasterid coral from the tropical eastern Pacific, is described from the west coast of Panama. The new species is distinguished from all species oí Distichopora described thus far by having robust branches and poorly defined pore rows.

In this paper, a new mesophotic species of Distichopora, D. cryptostylus, is described from the Republic of Palau, Caroline Islands. The new Distichopora is distinguished from congenerics by its uniquely shaped coenosteal pores, a paucity of dactylostyles, and apical dactylotomes.

2018年3月8日 · Dactylopore spines horseshoe-shaped in cross section and adcauline (dactylotome facing downward) in orientation. Dactylostyles usually absent (present in only one species). Ampullae superficial; female with lateral efferent pore.

1991年9月1日 · Two new terms are introduced to characterize dactylopore tubes: axial and peripheral. Numbers of valid species for each genus and their geographic and bathymetric ranges are listed. Two hundred...

dactylopore: in stylasterids, tubular opening in the skeleton into which the dactylozooids can retract, usually smaller than the gastropore, in some genera encircling the gastropore, some dactylopores have a spine, a collar-like elevation of the rim.
