The World Register of Marine species (WoRMS) has been established for a decade. early history the database involved compilation existing global and regional registers. This aggregation, combined with changes to data types changing needs WoRMS users, resulted in an evolution data-entry consistency over time. With task aggregating accepted names all marine approaching completion, our focus shifted improving quality held while keeping pace addition > 2000 new described annually. paper...
Rock shrimps (Sicyonia dorsalis and Sicyonia typica) are commonly caught as bycatch during shrimp trawling along the Brazilian coast, but not commercially exploited due to their small size hard carapace. This study evaluated spatio-temporal distribution, classes, sex ratio near Almada River Estuary, Ilhéus, Bahia, Northeastern Brazil, tested correlations between environmental factors species abundance. Samples were collected monthly using double-rig trawl nets in estuary transects at depths...
We conducted a comprehensive systematic revision of deep-sea Trachyleberididae, Thaerocytheridae, and Hemicytheridae (Ostracoda, Crustacea) covering almost all Cenozoic genera using high-resolution scanning electron microscopy. our main focus, is one the most diverse abundant ostracod families, but its genus-level taxonomy still confusing. Approximately 700 specimens from 177 species 47 were examined. The studied samples range in age Cretaceous to present day cover major oceans world,...
Abstract Deep-sea benthic Ostracoda (Crustacea) in Icelandic waters are poorly known. Here we report deep-sea ostracode assemblages from the multiple core (MUC) and epibenthic sledge (EBS) samples collected by first cruise of IceAGE (Icelandic Marine Animals: Genetics Ecology) project. Samples shelf-edge lower-bathyal working areas examined. The results show (1) distinct MUC EBS faunas due to large difference mesh size EBS; (2) faunas. Such remarkable faunal turnover shelf bathyal depths is...
Animal communities inhabiting shallow marine benthic environments around Antarctica are quite well known, however, only a few studies deal with the deep-water faunas in Southern Ocean. In present study 19 samples and 14 mid-water containing macrocypridids were studied. The first important finding of is fivefold increase diversity Macrocyprididae Ocean: species count increased from six to 30. Additionally, statistical analyses showed that depth main factor influencing macrocypridid...
With almost 200 species described from all over the world, Polycope Sars, 1866 G. O. (1866). Forhandlinger i Videnskabs-Selskabet Christiania. Christiania: Trykt hos Brogger & Christie. [Google Scholar] is most specious and eurytopic genus of exclusively marine family Polycopidae. Unlike other members subclass Myodocopa, polycopids are commonly found in fossiliferous rocks strata as old Carboniferous, which makes them a useful tool palaeoenvironmental reconstructions. The particular an...
Previous records of Platycopida (Ostracoda) from the Antarctic region Southern Ocean include only a few fossil species Late Cretaceous to Palaeocene: Cytherelloidea megaspirocostata Majoran & Widmark, 1998, [sic] Cytherella serratula (Brady, 1880), plus seven left in open nomenclature. The present study documents first record living platycopid and describes rwhatleyi sp. nov. as new. Comparison among specimens collected at stations 60° longitude 10° latitude apart each other show that...
Only a few bairdioid species were reported from the high Antarctic region of Southern Ocean. One these is supposedly widely distributed Bairdoppilata simplex (Brady, 1880). The re-study material previously identified as 1880) indicates that specimens should be assigned to several different species. On basis studied herein and published illustrations it possible conclude more than ten are represented in has been misidentified under this name, seven re-studied illustrated herein. them, labiata...
Abstract. Cythere dasyderma Brady, 1880 was described from samples collected all the world’s oceans during HMS Challenger expedition in 1870s. Subsequently, (or Echinocythereis dasyderma, or Henryhowella dasyderma) has been recorded Late Eocene to Recent, Atlantic, Arctic, Indian, Pacific and Southern oceans, intertidal deep abyssal environments. However, even cursory inspection of illustrations over 50 publications shows that several species have included ‘Cythere dasyderma’. Here, syntypes...
Abstract. The Southern Ocean shelf ostracod fauna is quite well known, while the bathyal and abyssal ones remain poorly understood. Herein, Recent Thaerocytheridae ostracods collected from deep regions in Atlantic Sector of are described figured. discovery Bradleya mesembrina Mazzini, 2005 extends its geographical bathymetric distribution to Antarctic zone shallower (231 m) deeper (4420 m).
