In this article we report on a hexactinellid sponge new to science, Rhizophyta yapensis gen. et sp. nov., which was collected from the Yap Trench in northwestern Pacific Ocean at an abyssal depth of 4159–4779 m. Its fungus-like body form with long peduncle and absence hypodermalia suggest placement within euplectellid subfamily Bolosominae Tabachnick, 2002, whereas molecular phylogenetic evidence suggests that it is sister all remaining Euplectellidae Gray, 1867. rhizophytous method...
During the Dive90 and Dive94 of Chinese manned submersible “Jiaolong”, some polychaete specimens were collected from “Longqi” vent field on Southwest Indian Ocean Ridge. A new species belonging to genus Branchipolynoe, Branchipolynoe longqiensis n. sp., is described in this study. It can be easily distinguished congeners by its biramous parapodia with relatively reduced notopodia, stout notosetae branchiae short terminal filaments.
Three species of squat lobster, Uroptychus inaequipes n. sp., Munidopsis bairdii (Smith, 1884), and M. kensmithii Jones & Macpherson, 2007, are reported from the seamounts tropical West Pacific. The new is distinguished its congeners by having short antennal scales, non-produced anterolateral corners thoracic sternite 4. recorded Pacific for first time.
In this article we report on a hexactinellid sponge new to science, Tretopleura weijicus sp. nov., which was collected from the Weijia Seamount in northwestern Pacific Ocean at depth of 1995 m. Its blade-like and branching body form, primary choanosomal framework consisting multiaxial longitudinal strands without synapticula, presence sceptrules suggest placement within family Uncinateridae Reiswig, 2002, is also supported by molecular phylogenetic evidence COI 16S sequences. The absence...
Abstract Aim The pattern of biodiversity and biogeography is crucial to informing management conservation strategy. But a lack study across multiple ridge systems, especially for the Carlsberg Ridge, has hampered conception overall picture Indian Ocean vents, top target deep‐sea exploration massive sulphides. Here, we aim characterize fauna from three new vent fields on Ridge first time, answer 1) what biogeographic within 2) how does this guide future environmental ridges. Location Vents...
Abstract The genetic basis of phenotypic variation is a long-standing concern evolutionary biology. Coloration has proven to be visual, easily quantifiable, and highly tractable system for analysis an ever-evolving focus biological research. Compared with the homogenized brown-yellow cocoons wild silkworms, domestic silkworms are spectacularly diverse in color, such as white, green, yellow-red; this provides outstanding model exploring diversification coloration. Herein, molecular mechanism...
Abstract Hydrothermal vents are typically located in midocean ridges and back-arc basins usually generated by the movement of tectonic plates. Life thrives these environments despite extreme conditions. In addition to chemoautotrophic bacteria, decapod crustaceans dominant many hydrothermal discovered date. Contrary hypothesis that species remnants relic fauna, increasing evidence supports notion vent decapods have diversified more recent times with previous research attributing origin...
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is one of the oldest domesticated crops, showing dramatic adaptation to various climate and environmental conditions. As a major cereal crop, barley ranks 4th after wheat, maize rice in terms planting area production all over world. Due its diploid nature, cultivated considered as an ideal model study polyploid wheat other Triticeae species. Here, we reviewed development, optimization, application transgenic approaches barley. The most efficient robust genetic...
Brisingida Fisher 1928 is one of the seven currently recognised starfish orders, and least known taxa as being exclusive deep-sea inhabitants. Modern expeditions revealed their common occurrences in various settings including seamounts, basins hydrothermal vent peripheral, underlining necessity clarifying global diversity phylogeny. In this study, we present a comprehensive molecular phylogeny which encompasses highest taxonomic to date. DNA sequences (COI, 16S, 12S 28S) were obtained from...
The interest in deep-sea mining increased along with the environmental concerns of these activities to fauna. discovery optimal biomarkers species is a crucial step toward supply important ecological information for impact assessment. In this study, an situ copper exposure experiment was performed on scavenging amphipods. Abyssorchomene distinctus individuals were selected among all exposed amphipods molecular characterization. Copper concentration within gut assessed, followed by tandem...
The sequence of the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) fairy shrimp Phallocryptus tserensodnomi Alonso & Ventura 2013 (Crustacea: Anostraca: Thamnocephalidae) has been determined. It is 16,493 bp with an AT-content 65.4%, which encodes information typical 37 genes as all other metazoan mitogenomes. Both and putative control region show moderate values among mitogenomes Branchiopoda sequenced to date. gene order shows same arrangement Artemiidae different from pancrustacean ancestral pattern,...
Styracaster yapensis sp. nov. is reported from the Yap Trench in western Pacific hadal depths between 6377–6575 m, which among deepest known occurrence of a species this genus. It distinguished other by its abactinal surface armature and rudimentary cribriform organs. This paper provides description new along with detailed photos. The intraspecific differences holotype paratype are examined molecular morphological approaches.
Hadal trenches remain one of the unexplored ocean ecosystems due to challenges sampling at great depths. It is still unclear how a faunal community changes from abyssal hadal zone, and which environmental variables are key impacting factors. In this study, nine dives Human Occupied Vehicle (HOV) “ JIAOLONG ” were conducted depths (4,435–6,796 m) in Yap Trench on southeastern boundary Philippine Sea Plate western Pacific, divided into 48,200 m video transects, describe megafaunal communities...
