Data on three Baltic species of Corynosoma Lühe, 1905 (Acanthocephala: Polymorphidae) from Baltic grey (Halichoerus grypus) and ringed seals (Pusa hispida)

Table 1

Material studied with the Proboscis Profiler (M= male).

 

Figure 1

Proboscis profiles of male Corynosoma magdaleni and C. semerme. a. Length. b. Base. Proboscis profiles generated using a moving average interval of 20%. Profile labels are comprised of three parts: species, surface of proboscis (dorsal, lateral or ventral) and a numerical identifier for the acanthocephalan specimen. N.B. profiles for C. magdaleni (dorsal and ventral) are from a single specimen.

 

Figure 2

Result of the principal component analysis of the proboscis profiles of male Corynosoma magdaleni and C. semerme.

 

Figure 3

Meristogram for Corynosoma semerme. Graph shows serial variation in four hook morphometrics: L: length; B: base width; A: area; R: ratio. Meristogram generated with a moving average interval of 20%, using data from two females and eight males.

 

Supplementary Material 1

Row data of the measurements of the Baltic Corynosoma semerme Proboscis Profiler.

 

Supplementary Material 2

Row data of the measurements of the Baltic Corynosoma magdaleni Proboscis Profiler.

Notation used for the accession number in both supplementary materials:

species (s for semerme, m for magdaleni) - sex - surface of proboscis (d=dorsal,
v=ventral, l=lateral) - host (g=grey, r=ringed) - specimen number

For example, s-m-d-g-1 denotes a dorsal row of hooks from a male
specimen of Corynosoma semerme which was collected from a grey seal and
given the ID "1"
