Abstract
The upsidedown jellyfish Cassiopea is a globally distributed semisessile planktonically dispersed scyphomedusa Cassiopea occurs in shallow tropical inshore marine waters on sandy mudflats and is generally associated with mangrovedominated habitats Controversy over the taxonomy of upsidedown jellyfishes precedes their introduction to the Hawaiian Islands during the Second World War and persists today Here we address the global phylogeography and molecular systematics of the three currently recognized species Cassiopea andromeda C frondosa and C xamachana Mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I COI sequences from Australia Bermuda Fiji the Florida Keys the Hawaiian Islands Indonesia Palau Panama Papua New Guinea and the Red Sea were analyzed Highly divergent COI haplotypes within the putative species C andromeda 234 Kimura 2parameter molecular divergence and shared haplotypes among populations of two separate putative species C andromeda and C xamachana from different ocean basins suggest multiple anthropogenic introductions and systematic confusion Two deeply divergent O’ahu haplotypes 203 from morphologically similar geographically separate invasive populations indicate longterm 14–40 million years ago reproductive isolation of phylogenetically distinct source populations and cryptic species Data support at least two independent introductions to the Hawaiian Islands one from the IndoPacific another from the western Atlantic/Red Sea Molecular phylogenetic results support six species 1 C frondosa western Atlantic 2 C andromeda Red Sea/western Atlantic/Hawaiian Islands 3 C ornata Indonesia/Palau/Fiji 4 Cassiopea sp 1 eastern Australia 5 Cassiopea sp 2 Papua New Guinea and 6 Cassiopea sp 3 Papua New Guinea/Hawaiian IslandsWe are grateful to Professor Mike Hadfield for providing support and research facilities at the Kewalo Marine Laboratory University of Hawai’i and to Professor John Benzie for facilities at the Centre for Marine and Coastal Studies University of New South Wales UNSW We thank William Puleloa Tom Iwai Lori Colin Bert Hoeksema Harilaos Lessios Don de Maria Laura Martin David Miller Kylie Pitt Alan Nelson Kirk Murakami and Dan Lindstrom for providing medusae specimens Thanks to Kualoa Ranch and MidPacific Golf Course for providing access François Seneca assisted in laboratory DNA extractions Thanks to Dr Jonathan Gardner Victoria University New Zealand for valuable comments on an earlier draft of this manuscript We also thank Aquarium Solutions International RuhrUniversität Bochum and the ViceChancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellowship scheme UNSW for financial support The experiments performed during the course of this study are in full compliance with the current laws of the United States
