Collecting and Preserving Marine and Freshwater Isopoda (Crustacea: Peracarida) [PDF]
Isopoda are the most diverse Crustacea. In order to encourage the study of isopod crustaceans and their use in biodiversity studies, systematics, ecology, physiology and more, one needs to know who the isopods are and where to find them. This is a short “how to” guide focusing on the free-living marine and freshwater isopods: where they live ...

Marked Variability in Distance‐Decay Patterns Suggests Contrasting Dispersal Ability in Abyssal Taxa
ABSTRACT Aim We assess the role of spatial distance and depth difference in shaping beta diversity patterns across abyssal seascape regions. We measured the decrease of faunistic similarity across the northeast Pacific seafloor, to test whether species turnover rates differ between deep and shallow‐abyssal biogeographical provinces and whether these ...

ABSTRACT Hydrothermal vents are biodiversity hotspots on the deep seafloor powered by chemosynthetic primary production, inhabited by a specially adapted fauna whose composition varies between regions. Sumisu Caldera, located approximately 500 km south of Tokyo, hosts a hot vent with an unusual species composition among the Izu–Ogasawara Arc sites and ...

Description of two new Apseudopsis species (A. larnacensis sp. nov and A. salinus sp. nov.) (Tanaidacea: Crustacea) from the Mediterranean and a biogeographic overview of the genus [PDF]
The Mediterranean Sea is recognized as one of the most threatened marine environments due to pollution, the unintentional spread of invasive species, and habitat destruction.

Pseudotanais Sars, 1882 (Crustacea: Tanaidacea) From the SE Australian Slope: A Gap in Our Knowledge
In the current paper, we present the description of five new species of pseudotanaids sampled off the Bass Strait during two campaigns (SLOPE), which took place in 1986/8 and 1994 from the upper continental margin (slope) at depths 200–1550 m, hopefully ...

Abstract Comma shrimp, or cumaceans, are diverse benthic crustaceans, yet they are one of the groups with the poorest fossil record, hindering our understanding of the evolution of the group in deep time. Here, we describe a new species of fossil comma shrimp, Makrokylindrus itoi sp. nov., from the Plio‐Pleistocene of Japan.

A new species of the genus Cyphocaris Boeck, 1871, is described. The material examined was collected during the “Acoustics along the Brazilian Coast” (Abraços 1) project, by micronektonic trawls at a targeted depth of 525 m, off the Rocas Atoll, Rio ...

Serpentinite‐hosted chemosynthetic community of South Chamorro Seamount, Mariana Forearc
Abstract Deep‐sea chemosynthetic ecosystems are ‘oases’ of life powered by reducing geofluids, of which serpentinite‐hosted seeps are among the least studied. South Chamorro Seamount, a serpentine mud volcano on the Mariana Arc, has been known to host chemosynthesis‐based assemblages since 1996, but no detailed information on the fauna was published ...
