Development of Thysanopoda egregia (Euphausiacea) furciliae and early juvenile [PDF]
Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2013 Author(s): Brinton, E; Townsend, AW; Knight, MD; Ohman, MD | Abstract: Nine furcilia and the early juvenile phase of the deep-sea euphausiid Thysanopoda egregia Hansen, 1905 are described and illustrated for the first time. This identification of the bathypelagic species is made on the basis of the very large, well-developed and dark-brown eyes, short ...

Ecosystem maturation follows the warming of the Arctic fjords
Oceanologia, 2017 Two fjords in West Spitsbergen (Hornsund 77°N and Kongsfjorden 79°N) differ with regard to their exposure towards increasingly warm Atlantic water inflow.

Arthropod structure & developmentMembers of the Euphausiacea ("krill") generate bioluminescence using light organs, the so-called photophores, including one pair associated with the eyestalks, two pairs on the thoracic segments, and four unpaired photophores on the pleon.

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2013 Euphausiids are marine pelagic crustaceans widely distributed in all latitudes and oceans of the world.They are parasitized by a wide spectrum of parasite species. Cestodes of the Order Trypanorhyncha are endoparasitichelminths that as adults exclusively

Taxonomic review of the orders Mysida and Stygiomysida (crustacea, peracarida). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The order Mysida (2 families, 178 genera, 1132 species) contains species across a broad range of habitats, such as subterranean, fresh, brackish, coastal, and surface to deep-sea habitats. The Stygiomysida (2 families, 2 genera, 16 species), however, are

Revealing zooplankton diversity in the midnight zone
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Zooplankton diversity in the deep “midnight zone” (>1000 m), where sunlight does not reach, remains largely unknown. Uncovering such diversity has been challenging because of the major difficulties in sampling deep pelagic fauna and identifying many ...

Aquatic Biology, 2015 Polar environments like the high-Arctic Kongsfjord are characterized by pronounced seasonality leading to strong variations in primary production. Food sources are particularly scarce during winter. Herbivorous krill, such as the arcto-boreal Thysanoessa

Using ecological partitions to assess zooplankton biogeography and seasonality
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Zooplankton play a crucial role in marine ecosystems as the link between the primary producers and higher trophic levels, and as such they are key components of global biogeochemical and ecosystem models. While phytoplankton spatial-temporal dynamics can

Exceptional endemicity of Aotearoa New Zealand biota shows how taxa dispersal traits, but not phylogeny, correlate with global species richness. [PDF]
J R Soc N ZABSTRACT Species’ with more limited dispersal and consequently less gene flow are more likely to form new spatially segregated species and thus contribute disproportionally to endemic biota and global species richness. Aotearoa New Zealand has exceptional endemicity, with 52% of its 54,000 named species endemic, including 32%, 39% and 68% for ...
