چکیده
The Southern Ocean is one of the most exposed regions to climate-related changes on our planet. Better understanding current biodiversity and past speciation events, as well implementation conservation actions accurate identification organisms species level in this unique environment, fundamental. In study, two sea stars, Odontaster roseus Janosik & Halanych, 2010 pearsei 2010, are reported for first time from Terra Nova Bay area (TNB, Ross Sea, Antarctica) by using a combination molecular (DNA barcoding) morphological (coloration skeletal features) analyses. Molecular results agree with external characters identified species, making occurrence unequivocal. were recently described Antarctic Peninsula, went unnoticed long TNB, possibly having been confused O. meridionalis (E.A. Smith, 1876), which they share bright yellow coloration. This latter seems be absent Sea. Thus, literature referring Sea should treated caution these “yellow morphs” could or even orange–yellow morphs red-colored congeneric validus Koehler, 1906. work highlights paucity knowledge purportedly well-studied areas iconic organisms.
