A new species ascribed to a genus of Eusiridae, Dorotea papuana gen. nov., sp. nov. is described from bathyal bottoms the Solomon Sea (Papua New Guinea). Closely related Cleonardo, this can be distinguished most other known eusirid genera by presence telson distally cleft and distinctly bilobate, distal spiniform process on uropod 1 peduncle simple, stout medium length dactylus pereopods 5–7. The combination all these characters considered relevant for affiliation within Eusiridae. Due its...
The present study describes a new species of Pyrgoma Leach, 1817, coral associated barnacle attached to Tubastrea, from the south New Caledonia. spurtruncata sp. nov. is morphologically close P. cancellatum 1818, japonica Weltner, 1897 and kuri Hoek, 1913 in absence extended tergal muscle crests. have shallow, fully open, medial furrow spur, whereas deeper closed. differs width spur length rostral tooth scutum. Phylogenetic analyses based on two mitochondrial markers, 12S rDNA COI, confirm...
Abstract Motivation Traits are increasingly being used to quantify global biodiversity patterns, with trait databases growing in size and number, across diverse taxa. Despite interest a trait‐based approach the of deep sea, where impacts human activities (including seabed mining) accelerate, there is no single repository for species traits deep‐sea chemosynthesis‐based ecosystems, including hydrothermal vents. Using an international, collaborative approach, we have compiled first...
Abstract Because they house large biodiversity collections and are also research centres with sequencing facilities, natural history museums well placed to develop DNA barcoding best practices. The main difficulty is generally the vouchering system: it must ensure that all data produced remain attached corresponding specimen, from field publication in articles online databases.

Amphipod crustaceans were collected at all 55 stations sampled with an epibenthic sledge during two IceAGE expeditions (Icelandic marine Animals: Genetics and Ecology) in 2011 2013. In total, 34 amphipod families three superfamilies recorded the samples. Distribution maps are presented for each taxon along a summary of regional taxonomy group. Statistical analyses based on presence/absence data revealed pattern family distributions that correlated sampling depth. Clustering according to...

Amphipods constitute an abundant part of Icelandic deep-sea zoobenthos yet knowledge the diversity this fauna, particularly at molecular level, is scarce. The present work aims to use methods investigate genetic variation Amphipoda sampled during two IceAGE collecting expeditions. mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (COI) 167 individuals originally assigned 75 morphospecies was analysed. These targeted morhospecies were readily identifiable by experts using light microscopy and...
An adaptation strategy whereby O(2) partial pressure, P(O(2)), in the tissues is maintained within a low, narrow range of 1-3 kPa, largely independent inspired has been reported water- and air-breathing poikilotherms homeotherms. Based on postulate that this basic cellular mechanism established since early stages evolution, it hypothesized could be consequence an to maintain oxygenation same low primitive range. To test hypothesis we studied mechanisms oxygen regulation podocopid ostracods,...
Rimicaris chacei Williams and Rona 1986, formerly named as Chorocaris chacei, is a caridean shrimp living in deep-sea hydrothermal ecosystems. This endemic to the Mid Atlantic Ridge (MAR) lives at periphery of aggregates its well-known congeneric R. exoculata 1986. Contrasting with very dense mobile clusters formed by exoculata, small groups several individuals that are not mobile. Although devoid characteristic hypertrophied cephalothorax which harbors ectosymbionts, microbial community has...

Abstract. The Rimicaris exoculata shrimp is considered as a primary consumer that dominates the fauna of most Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) hydrothermal ecosystems. These shrimps harbour in their gill chambers an important ectosymbiotic community chemoautotrophic bacteria associated with iron oxide deposits. structure and elemental composition mineral concretions these have been investigated by using LM, ESEM, TEM STEM EDX microanalyses. nature oxides obtained from Rainbow vent field has also...
Background We examine the physiological and lifestyle adaptations which facilitated emergence of ostracods as numerically dominant Phanerozoic bivalve arthropod micro-benthos. Methodology/Principal Findings The PO2 modern normoxic seawater is 21 kPa (air-equilibrated water), a level that would cause cellular damage if found in tissues much other marine fauna. most aquatic breathers at lower, between 1 3 kPa. Ostracods avoid oxygen toxicity by migrating to waters are hypoxic, or developing...
Little is known of New Guinea's deep benthic communities. In fall 2010, the Museum national d'Histoire naturelle, Institut de Recherche pour le Developpement, and University Papua Guinea spearheaded an international three-leg cruise, BioPapua, aimed at exploring waters eastern its satellite islands. Special attention was given to faunal assemblages associated with sunken wood decomposing vegetation as well seamount summits slopes. this article, we review information available on ecosystems...
A preliminary assessment of the deep-sea Decapoda is proposed for Guadeloupe Island based solely on high definition macro photographs taken during KARUBENTHOS 2015 Expedition to (R/V Antea, 7-29 June 2015). Overall, 190 species are recognized, several which depicted with their fresh color first time. Previous records in Lesser Antilles documented and geographic distribution these Islands given. The historical contribution steamer Blake (1878-1879) emphasized. All inventoried were already...
The family Ammotheidae is the most diversified group of class Pycnogonida, with 297 species described in 20 genera. Its monophyly and intergeneric relationships have been highly debated previous studies. Here, we investigated phylogeny using specimens from poorly studied areas. We sequenced mitochondrial gene encoding first subunit cytochrome c oxidase (CO1) 104 specimens. complete nuclear 18S rRNA was a selection 80 taxa to provide further phylogenetic signal. base composition CO1 shows...
The evolutionary history of the lower balanomorphan barnacle has remained controversial because complexities in shell wall ontogeny and prevalence plesiomorphic characteristics. Catophragmus Sowerby, 1826, Eochionelasmus Yamaguchi, 1990, Pachylasma Darwin, 1854 Waikalasma Buckeridge, 1983 have been proposed as potentially most primitive extant balanomorphans. In this study, we present first molecular phylogenetic hypothesis on evolution Balanomorpha Pilsbry, 1916, based 89 species six...
The accurate assignment of cryptic larvae to species-level is a key aspect marine ecological research and can be achieved through integrated molecular morphological studies. A combination two mitochondrial markers (COI 16S) detailed analysis was used identify phyllosoma slipper lobster (Scyllaridae) species collected during survey in the SW Indian Ocean. Two morphotypes were tentatively assigned Acantharctus ornatus Biarctus pumilus, both genera for which larval morphology unknown....
